“I’ve seen the videos from several angles, and it's sickening.”

 Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz speaks to press following the fatal shooting involving a federal agent in Minneapolis. DHS says the victim “approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.”

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

You cannot trust any statement from DHS and ICE.

The parents of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse killed by federal agents in Minnesota, remember their son as a “kindhearted soul.” They also called the Trump administration’s response to his death “reprehensible.” Ayman Mohyeldin reports on @theweekendprime.bsky.social

Yes.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Donald Trump will not be president forever. He and his administration will be held accountable one way or another — and the Illinois Accountability Commission will make sure we do just that.

House Republicans couldn’t lay a glove on Jack Smith, not just because he’s a serious professional prosecutor but because he never strayed from the documented facts.

For Trump to put his name on the Kennedy Center and other federal buildings is not only arrogant and narcissistic, it is illegal. We must put an end to sitting presidents naming buildings after themselves — and that’s what my bill does.

American taxpayers shouldn't be treated as pawns. If Trump keeps threatening to illegally withhold funds from Illinois, then we'll keep fighting for what our people deserve. We've beaten the administration in court before — and we're not afraid to keep doing so.

President Trump made an obscene gesture with his middle finger and mouthed “f--- you” twice to a person who can be heard yelling “pedophile protector” at him during a tour of a Ford factory in Michigan — a reaction the White House said was “appropriate.”

Illegal arrests made by the Trump administration are intended to spread fear and silence dissent. We cannot allow Trump and his cronies to turn the United States of America into an authoritarian society in which people can be disappeared for their political beliefs.
