Horrified by the sickening act of political violence in Minnesota. I pray for the family of Melissa Hortman and her husband, who were murdered in cold blood, and for the recovery of John Hoffman and his wife.
The killer must be held accountable. This has no place in America.

Learn more about the MN speaker who was assassinated in her home this morning. What a goddamned nightmare.
Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government.
That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾
MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.”
ICE: “The whole country is our property.”
No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

these delusional fuckers can have this fight, they are going to regret it
House Speaker Mike Johnson calls for the Senate to "censure" Alex Padilla after he was restrained and handcuffed by FBI agents at Kristi Noem's presser, adding that it is "wildly inappropriate behavior."
So it looks like Republicans want to escalate this!

Until Americans are ready to emotionally and psychologically begin to contend with what this is, there is nothing we can do to help them. Six months of shock and horror with no acceptance is 180 days of wasted effort.

They’re declaring war. I’ve been saying this from the start. We need to prepare before it’s too late.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Line after line has been crossed in the past several months. The time for “deep concern” is over. You should be furious. It’s time to fight back. We need to get serious, get organized, and defend our freedom.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know.
This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.

Judge Hannah Dugan, the Wisconsin judge who was arrested on Friday morning on charges of obstructing immigration enforcement, spent most of her legal career working on behalf of low-income people and marginalized groups. Here's what to know.

Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.
