Republicans love to talk about “toning down the rhetoric."

When a member of their caucus spews disgusting, racist vitriol like this?

Crickets.

Political violence, xenophobia, and attacks on Muslim communities are rising, and Republican leaders are enabling it.

He should resign immediately.

Let’s be clear: the SAVE America Act is an effort to make voting harder for eligible Americans. It is not about election security. It is about restricting access to the ballot & deciding who gets to participate in our democracy. Tell Senators to oppose it: lwv.org/save-act @lwvus.bsky.social

ICE arrested ~200 people during its surge in Maine. Only a few had committed a crime.

DHS data shows <14% of the people they’ve apprehended had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.

Fourteen.

The “worst of the worst” argument was always bullshit. Now we have the data to prove it.
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

I voted NO on today's funding bill.

We now have 10 days to negotiate on DHS—and a real chance to hold ICE accountable:

✅ Masks off
✅ Body cams on
✅ Mandatory judicial warrants
✅ No more prisons
✅ Strip funding from the Big Ugly Bill
✅ Get the hell out of Minnesota!
 
Believe me, it’s a LONG list.
