I got these at my house and immediately thought, “GOP dark money” and…yep! Reminder that Demuth explicitly said she would consider pardoning Chauvin and their party held a moment of silence for Chauvin at their state conference.

Mailers have targeted Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s record on police accountability and Israel. Who is paying for them remains unclear.

This reads that they are beating folks after they illegally detain them.

"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..." apnews.com/article/immi...

Arresting #journalists must be the line. The Trump Administration is silencing anyone brining light to their unamerican, unconstitutional, and dangerous activities. We must all band together to stop this regime. #mn #journalism #donlemon #minnesota

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

In Trump's America, if you are a fraudster, pedophile, insurrectionist, drug trafficker, or neo-nazi, you get a pardon. But if you're an elected leader who speaks out against the Trump Administration, you get investigated. This is not justice.

The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over possible obstruction of federal law enforcement, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. https://cnn.it/4bCjypy

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

There are immigration lawyers in Minnesota working around the clock right now and are doing incredible work. Unspeakable gratitude to the folks at the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota and so many other organizations!

I had the immense privilege of speaking to the #students of John Marshall HS during their brave #walkout yesterday. Our present is dark but the future is bright. #rochmn #politics #mn

ICE’s actions in Minnesota are egregious and unacceptable. Every day – even every hour – there’s a new bad story. For those who may not be aware, here’s the harm we’ve been seeing. ICE, get out of #Minnesota! #mn #safety #msp #rochmn

Don't listen to the GOP. DFL is building a state that WORKS.

Governor Tim Walz@governorwalz.mn.gov

Just this year, Minnesota has ranked: A top 10 state for safety. A top 5 state to live in. A top 3 state for jobs. A top 3 state to retire. The 2nd best state to raise a family. The 2nd best state for children. A bet against Minnesota is a bad bet.

🧵 Last weekend, 300 neighbors in greater Rochester came together for the YES to Our Future Summit! Together, we presented our local issue agenda — shaped by small group meetings with 500 community members this summer and fall. 💪 We are stronger when we stand together!

I joined a coalition of Minnesota DFL legislators in sending a letter to President Donald Trump and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, strongly encouraging the Administration to release available funds so that SNAP benefits are not interrupted come November.

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard… The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

Next line: "If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act before me there seems to be a wide and unnecessary departure from these just principles."
