Minnesota believes in law and order. We believe in peace. And we believe that Trump needs to pull his 3,000 untrained agents out of Minnesota before they kill another American in the street.

If there is a heaven, this beautiful soul has surely been welcomed at the gates. Thank you Alex Pretti for healing and caring for our Veterans. We were blessed that you lived among us- always giving. Always helping those who needed help. You were the best of us. 💔

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

I told the White House the state must lead the investigation.
Let state investigators secure justice. As we process the scene, stay peaceful and give them space.
The State has the personnel to keep people safe – federal agents must not obstruct our ability to do so.

BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts.
From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

Whatever my uni declares, I am not going to engage with AI. I am not going to use AI or teach students to use it. I am going to continue to explain to students why it is harmful. Absolutely absurd to allow this anti-intellectual, environmentally devastating technology into the university at all.

X’s Grok AI tool is being used to generate nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children. This is unacceptable. @wyden.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I are demanding that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores until Elon Musk addresses these heinous violations.
Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores over sexual deepfakes
“Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation

Over the last week, we’ve seen federal agents arresting, threatening, and using force against innocent bystanders.
They have carried out enforcement actions in schools, at hospitals, and in one horrific instance shot and killed someone.

Secretary Hegseth and Secretary Rubio came to the Hill this week to brief all 100 Senators on the boat strike in the Caribbean. We didn’t learn anything new, just the continued cover-up. Congress has made its position clear – release the 2nd strike video.
Hegseth is not fit to hold his position.

I mean, do we talk enough about how deranged this person is—and how he should be miles away from the levers of power?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
