I’m just a girl from Iowa… but were I a senator, I woulda voted no, threw two middle fingers in the air, and tell @schumer.senate.gov that my new goal in life would be to have him taken out of leadership.
I’d do it on DAY ONE.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

Nothing is sacred in Trump's America — not the First Amendment, not the Second, not even life itself.
We, the People, will not allow the Trump Administration to erode our rights.

It's completely insane to me that it's even up for debate among senators that Kristi Noem should resign. Every lawmaker and newspaper editorial board in the country should be calling for her resignation. She has entirely failed in this role. She is incompetent. She is a disaster.

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

This much is clear: Stephen Miller is in charge. They've shipped off Bovino, they're hanging Noem out to dry, Trump is using slightly conciliatory language...and Miller is still running a blitzkrieg in Minnesota. He, not Trump, is in charge. And he is the one Democrats should fight to remove.
here's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop.
Again, this is terrorism.

The more he rambles about running again, the harder it will be for anyone in the GOP to actually start putting a 2028 campaign together. Let him bloviate about four terms while his poling craters. It's electoral poison.

Congratulations to the Kamala Will Take Your Guns crowd
Q: Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist or assassin?
TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but he certainly shouldn't have been carrying a gun. I don't like that he had a gun.

Why not deport the people serving time after they've served their time? Why does Trump want to let criminals out of jail early?
That's why due process covers non-citizens visiting the US. So we don't set up a system where people come and commit crimes then get sent home with no consequences.

Trump’s demands of Minnesota and Minneapolis - still blaming Dem leadership in the state for the chaos and death his regime has caused. Doesn’t sound promising.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.
They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.
My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.
