Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Evict ICE, not us.
Allowing our neighbors to be evicted because ICE has made it impossible for them to pay rent is unacceptable. Minneapolis needs an immediate eviction moratorium to keep people in their homes.

I very much understand that officials need to try to keep peace.
But a large portion of my friends spend their days watching pick up/drop off of their local schools as the only bulwark against armed thugs on our streets. You HAVE to have a better plan than tell people to remain calm.

Trump sent thousands of armed federal officers into our state, and it took just one day for them to kill someone.
Now he wants nothing more than to see chaos distract from that horrific action.
Don’t give him what he wants.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.
Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

Ellison: "State authorities can investigate anyway. We don't need their authority. It's at least arguable that there's a violation of MN statues here. All of them depend on an investigation though. And the federal govt can't stop MN from doing it's own, but I would hope it wouldn't come to that."

This situation is a good example of why shutting down the government is logical: Right now, the Trump administration is acting as if it has 100% control of all federal spending, Congress & previous decisions be damned. If that executive overreach isn't addressed, why pass a spending bill?

Also true of MN (and this year’s muni elections)
Dear Ds in CA, NJ and VA - please vote on Day 1, or as early as you. When you vote early your names comes off GOTV rolls for the campaigns allowing them to move on to lower propensity voters, which increases D turnout and makes it more likely we win. Voting early = another way to help us win.

I remember traveling to Cuba and Cubans telling me hostile US government policy merely gave their own government a convenient excuse to sweep all their failures under that rug. I sorta feel that way any time a St. Paul developer blames a project fail on rent control.

Might be comparing apples to oranges, but my org has a $125K/year contract w/ Mpls. We advised 5,312 Mpls renter households in 2024 for free (obviously costs much more than $125K). If my org got this kind of $ from the city, we'd be able to interrupt a hell of a lot more violence caused by landlords
$643,632 violence interruption contract for Jerry McAfee's Salem Inc, recommended for approval by Mayor Frey's administration. The city council will take it up next week.
