The crowd absolutely erupts when Carney says the Pacific Link pipeline will reduce Canada's dependence on the U.S. Mark Carney: "Careful. They might think that's election interference. They're a little touchy down there. We're not. We're getting on with it."

She’s unfit to hold any office.

Michele Tafoya once referred to a guest on her show as "my J6 brutha" (Massaquoi was charged with trespassing into the Capitol and other crimes in connection with the January 6 insurrection)

If a Russian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin had paid for Hunter Biden’s lavish island wedding while his dad was the PRESIDENT, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 from now until the midterms and beyond.

Islamophobia got applause at the ADL's own summit. Now I want you to just imagine if the roles were reversed — a Muslim saying the same thing about Jewish people. It would be resoundingly condemned.

Democratic Congresswoman Angie Craig’s PAC is attacking MN LG Peggy Flanagan with deepfake AI to mislead voters. This is disqualifying. I would expect this from MAGA but beyond the pale to see this from Democrats. Vote Peggy Flanagan for US Senate in MN

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first. 2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts. 3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger. 4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover. 5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

Bad Bunny's performance is going to go in the history books. Total show of defiance and pride under an authoritarian regime. Pretty incredible

In the past 20+ years, the MN State Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has partnered with the federal government on all cases where it’s warranted. They have never been excluded until this month, where they have been excluded from two investigations.This isn’t a R vs D issue. Sadly, one group disagre

"The court's patience is at an end," U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz wrote. "…ordering the head of a federal agency to personally appear is an extraordinary step. But the extent of ICE's violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed."

BREAKING: Minnesota's chief federal judge has demanded the acting head of ICE personally appear in court Friday to explain what the judge described as repeated failures to comply with dozens of court orders amid its enforcement efforts in the state.

These motherfuckers need to be in jail. That’s flat out assault.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

If MAGA gets to rename the DOD to the DOW, does that mean that progressives get to rebrand the DOJ as The Justice League as soon as the get voted back into power? And we get to rename the building too, right?

At some point, there’s going to be one helluva mess to clean up. The next DOJ needs be lead by Jack Smith, Marc Elias, and Abbe Lowell. I’d put Jamie Raskin on that leadership team, too. Who else?

The more info we get about this raid, the worse it becomes. ICE had NO valid warrant (administrative warrants do not authorize forceful entry into a home), the guy's sole prior conviction was a since-dismissed drug charge from 2008, AND he had checked in with ICE just days earlier.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.

BREAKING: The Hennepin County District Attorney's office says they have jurisdiction to charge the ICE agent involved in the fatal Minneapolis shooting.

NEW: DHS says a "violent rioter weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill him. The ICE officer fired defensive shots." That's a lie. Watch the video for yourself.

Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
