Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones."

MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.

@chrismurphy Do Something Now! Impeach Trump! What are you waiting for! Keep pushing impeachment until it passes. What is happening is unconscionable. Impeach before someone fires back at these ice thugs and Trump declares martial law!
We should not fund DHS without serious reform. We could return CBP to border. We could require warrants for immigration arrests. We could beef up training and require identification.

The list of possible reforms is long. What's unacceptable is the current lawless status quo.

If you are angry, stay angry. They want us to think this is normal and how life will be.

I’ll be dammed if I ever let that happen.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand

I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

I'm a journalist and attorney, not an activist, so I've no answers on what Americans should do right now.

I only know this: Donald Trump is attempting to incite a civil war so he can cancel all future elections, and he will keep executing citizens until that outcome is achieved.

"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

and the public reaction to these custody disputes depressingly illustrated that people are willing to entertain the argument that if adopters can demonstrate that they can provide more material resources to a child, they deserve the child more than the original family.

this nonsense has to stop! where is the democratic party? what are they doing? they need to rattle the halls of congress until impeachment happens!
When LEAVING the US. We are in fully in the "your papers, please" mode of fascism.
New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

the democratic party is an ineffectual shit show. please do something whether with the democratic party or on your own. impeachment is the need! stop messing around and impeach! get the neoliberals out of the democratic party. it doesn’t help to have people in the party funded by the oligarchs
Democrats have no obligation to support a bill that not only funds the dystopian scenes we are seeing in Minneapolis but will allow DHS to replicate that playbook of brutality in cities all over this country.

use your platform to stop the drumpf regime that is destroying the united states! impeach him! how many laws does this regime have to break before you impeach drumpf! just do it. whatever you have to do to make the impeachment happen! stop telling and start doing!
My statement on funding DHS:
The proposed Appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security released today puts no meaningful constraints on the growing lawlessness of ICE, and increases funding for detention over the last Appropriations bill passed in 2024.
January 21, 2026 at 6:23 AM
again, you are telling us what we know. what we don’t know is how are you using the immense power invested in your political appointment to turn this country around? how many laws does the drumpf regime have to break before you impeach? we are waiting for your answer.
Our democracy is rigged for the billionaire class.

If you want to know why your wages are shitty and health care is too expensive and your kids’ school is falling apart - that’s why.

come on chris murphy, do something! fucking do something! yes, we are terrified thinking of what is happening in the ice detention centers. so do something, close them down! stop the madness!
I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

shout it from the rafters: more politicians speaking truth to power. stop the madness machine.
Moulton: I have an idea for ICE funding: zero. That’s what ICE needs.

we need more politicians standing for citizens and against the toxic unregulated neoliberal capitalist machine that is killing humans and the planet in equal measure. this dystopian nightmare does not need to be our future. we need a democracy for human beings, not corporate machines!
Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.
