There has been another shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis and I am working to get more information. I will update as soon as possible. To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW.

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Stephen Colbert getting pulled off the air gives him the opportunity to prepare for his presidential campaign

One key job of the media is to tell truth to power. Not just journalists, but interviewers, comedians, artists and others. Stephen Colbert did that. This cancellation is political. It’s part of Paramount’s capitulation to Trump. My appetite for CBS and Paramount+ programming is now near zero.

Let’s be clear: This is political censorship. Just as CBS’ parent company handed Trump $16 million to settle a spurious lawsuit, this decision is about preemptively bowing to a regime that demands obedience.

We stand with Stephen Colbert and every voice that Trump wants silenced.
Colbert's cancellation is a dark warning
CBS's decision marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large.

The defunding of public media, the gutting of the Washington Post and LA Times, and the cancelation of Stephen Colbert by Paramount is all connected. It's part of a hostile takeover of our entire information space by the oligarchs.

It is quite the indictment of Senate Dems that we cannot trust them to do the right thing even when we're holding their feet to the fire and the alternative for them is tacit support for fascism. This moment highlights what kind of Dem leadership we needed, and how terribly short they fall.

He has some interesting, potentially viable ideas that IMO are worth exploring. The current SocioPotus wouldn’t go for them, but anyone with common sense would.

Welp TikTok is officially gone. It’s insane to me how quickly the government can ban together to take away our voices but their hands are always tied when we need them.

If a lawmaker talks about cost of living, but they don't talk about tackling the biggest chunks of most families' budgets—housing and child care—they aren't serious about bringing down your cost of living.
