The DOJ's refusal to comply with our subpoena and the law has gone on for too long. I'll be introducing articles of impeachment against Pam Bondi. It's time to stop allowing institutions and our own government to continue protecting the wealthy and powerful.
For the last few weeks, Oversight Democrats have been investigating the FBI’s handling of allegations from 2019 of sexual assault on a minor made against President Donald Trump by a survivor. Oversight Democrats will open a parallel investigation into this.

@governorwalz.mn.gov ICE just shot someone else. Minneapolis is still under siege. No one is helping them! ICE won’t leave. They are just terrorizing. No state guard? What are people supposed to do?

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them. Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."
DeWald cites "privacy interests" for an "agent number 3" and his body worn camera as one of the govt's concerns over making the case material piblic, among other issues.

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

In response to the regime’s political violence, over 100,000 people have signed up for tonight’s mass call on exercising our constitutional right to document and record ICE and other federal agents. We hope you can join us: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

Horrific—another senseless execution of a citizen by Trump's lawless federal agents. Federal agents are terrorizing communities in Minnesota, Oregon, and across the country. Kristi Noem must go. Not one more penny for ICE.

We swore an oath to defend the very Constitutional rights that have been aggressively violated by Kristi Noem’s DHS. I will not send a single cent to ICE so long as they cannot abide by the clear principles this country has followed since 1791. Today, I am voting NO.

A secret memo allowing federal agents to invade Americans' homes without a warrant would be a historic violation of the Constitution and further justification for the immediate removal of Kristi Noem.
BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.
Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

Democrats have a lot of leverage right now and we want to see them use it like this. Congress must pass an appropriations bill by next week to keep DHS funded. We must keep demanding that our elected officials meet this moment to get ICE Out For Good: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

Elon Musk's goons stole the American people's private Social Security data. Now, we're beginning to learn why. And this is likely just the tip of the iceberg.

I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them. Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong. Read more:

A Danish legislator has some advice for his colleagues in the US Congress:
Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"
