Absolutley heartbreaking that parents of a man gunned down by federal agents have to put out a statement because the president and his cowardly minions are defaming their son. We’re way past sick.

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

Every member of congress has a duty & right to conduct oversight on DHS.
They should all come do rapid response. Come inspect the Twin Cities ICE HQ. Push in and do some oversight. Do not let the guards turn you away. Make them arrest you or beat you or let you in.

Real talk from Minnesota: "I feel like we're performing CPR on what may already be a corpse: the Constitution"
Prove this wrong, fellow Americans, please. MN can stand up, protect each other, witness & alert you.
But we alone can't control the feds. This is a USA issue.

This is the grim, depressing reality Donald Trump has made of American life.
Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and their citizens being murdered by violent secret police. All because of one man.
