A familiar move with a new twist: Trump tries to cut CDC funds he just signed into law

I was more than a little surprised when she showed up at the Hennepin County endorsing convention last cycle in her sheriff outfit. I didn’t think that was permitted under the rules.

Friday is sign day! 1500 freshly printed protest signs 🪧. We'll keep printing them until ICE is gone, all of our neighbors are returned, and justice is done. #AbolishICE

So many victims — and heroes here. I’m in awe of Zena Stenvik’s commitment but especially her ability to communicate: when I’ve heard her interviewed, or testifying, she’s been clear as a bell.

Two people are dead and a five year old in a bunny hat was kidnapped and used as human bait. Yep, sounds like a resounding success.

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.

Former NFL player, political activist, youth coach Chris Kluwe is my pick for CA Assembly District 72 in 2026. He’s ready to defeat Gracey Van Der Mark, a known Holocaust denier who has worked with Neo Nazis and radicalized white nationalists for years. Let’s go @chriswarcraft.bsky.social 🇺🇸!

A year after her announcement, I remain absolutely thrilled with @peggyflanagan.bsky.social as my candidate for U.S. Senate. She‘ll be a great successor to Tina Smith and, before her, Al Franken, some asshole, and Paul Wellstone. She believes in politics as being about improving people’s lives.
Let’s go.
I love Minnesota and my intention is to run for United States Senate and continue to serve the people of this state. I’ll make a formal announcement later this month. In the meantime, I’m talking with community and my family and friends. I will have more to say soon.

Trump's EPA just said climate change is a hoax.
They can't avoid the science or the law, but in the meantime this will do real harm to Americans' health and add over $6K in costs to new vehicles.

This is one of my first concerns. They have so much money they can send all the out-of-town agents home yet still keep (or hire) a residual force that‘s 3-4 times what was here. Enough to keep doing terror at scale.
Reminder that just 2 weeks ago, an agreement was signed for ICE/DHS to house 500-800 agents at Fort Snelling.
So drawdown? Maybe. Going away? I remain incredibly skeptical.
