By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Hey, #Texans - help get a real Dem into office in the Valley. TXHD 28 - know anyone in the Valley? Help them get the info they need BEFORE the March 3 primaries.
Early voting starts in 12 days.
February 17th!!
Yes please. Vote him OUT, Dem voters of TX28.

Henry Cuellar voted "with Republicans to fund ICE, after ICE murdered American citizens."

"Henry Cuellar stays in power because primaries are low-turnout elections. The machine depends on people assuming 'my one vote won’t matter.'

Prove them wrong."

Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.

Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.

Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

Not the first time Republicans have depicted Obama as an ape. The NY Post did it years ago and had cops shooting him.

This is who Trump and the Republicans are. They are racist. This isn't new. Birther conspiracy anyone?

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

Quick round up:

- the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile
- he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments
- his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets
- the FBI is helping him steal the election
- he’s threatening war against multiple allies

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.

Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.

I’ve been screaming about tuberculosis!
Hiding it just makes it spread to more people. It takes a long time for symptoms to develop.
And by then, even more people have been exposed. And, perhaps, infected.
Malnutrition and crowded living conditions make people more vulnerable to tuberculosis.
Just spoke with my CDC sources.

They said RFK Jr. ordered tuberculosis cases to be hidden after more than 60 people tested positive at a San Francisco high school.

He’s also suppressing bird flu reports.

Pandemics don’t start with viruses. They start with secrecy.

RFK Jr. must resign now!

DHS has quietly been buying up warehouses to use for DETENTION CENTERS. Some are large enough to house 4,000 people. Complete with crematoriums! This is not strictly for illegal aliens, it’s for “ undesirables”.
Reform? Wtf?
