Ossoff: Blanche is a joke and a hack. These folks are not just corrupt, they're clowns. Here you have a Kremlin connected Russian oligarch giving massive cash gifts to the president's son…

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

The man building a ballroom with foreign steel probably shouldn’t call himself the champion of American steel. But as you learned from the Epstein files, I’m open to working across the aisle. So how about signing my steel bill to actually rebuild the American steel industry?

Trump doesn't own the White House. He doesn't own the legal system. He has no right to ignore the Constitution. He doesn't own NATO or America's historic allies. He doesn't own the military. He doesn't own the U.S. Treasury.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in NY. Epstein raped her too. For anyone wondering why the victim dropped the case… 1/2

BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from immigration custody — condemning their removal from Minneapolis as unconstitutional. Judge Fred Biery condemned "the perfidious lust for unbridled power" and "the imposition of cruelty."

Where we are: 1. With the action in GA, the FBI has been mobilized as part of the plan to steal the 2028 election. And the DNI being on the scene is beyond ominous. 2. After bring chaos and illegality and killings to MN, the ICE assault on that city and others will continue with minimal changes.

The Trump Administration CANNOT be trusted to truthfully investigate their federal agents. Given what happened in Minnesota, they've made this clear. Our local and state law enforcement have the absolute authority to investigate any potential crimes committed by federal agents.

AG Rob Bonta @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov

The federal government’s response to the recent tragic deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota make clear that this administration cannot be trusted to cooperate in the investigation of potential state law crimes committed by federal agents.

Chris Madel: Leaves MN gubernatorial race & Repub Party. "US citizens, especially those of color, live in fear. They are raiding homes with only a civil warrant signed by CBP. That's unconstitutional. At the end of the day, I want to be able to look my daughters in the eye."

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

DC Resistance reposted

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

This is a MUST-READ affidavit. This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot. The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

She's a lying cunt

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

Noem: "An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently." Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit. Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
