Democracy Docket: UT reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted
In a revelation that undercuts the GOP narrative of widespread noncitizen voting in elections, a Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen — and they never even voted.

Walz: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this.
As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.

I was trained by the FBI in 92 in tactics, weapons, crowd control etc etc for my work overseas as a United States Marine at US Embassies.
What I am watching, witnessing is NOT what or how I was trained in what is called 'The progression of force'.
That policy is nowhere to be seen. 1/2

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.
The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security?
Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis?
They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now.
They lie like they breathe.

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.
