I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you want a safe neighborhood? Do you want a good job with good benefits? Do you want a high quality, well funded public school? So do I. We’re far more the same than we are different. As one team, we’re unstoppable.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

And this is why you chase ICE. Every minute these worthless thugs spend running from us is a minute they can’t be doing this.

Someone sent me this video of Trump’s goons in action today in the Twin Cities. The audio is disturbing.

Agents like this should be identified and their name and picture posted on a searchable web site with videos and content like this linked to their names

Unprecedented corruption. Everyone gets a taste. "Salus had never received a federal contract before, according to government spending records."

CREW@citizensforethics.org

DHS reportedly fast-tracked a contract worth almost $1 billion to a company led by a donor to a pro-Trump nonprofit group where one of the officials overseeing the deal previously worked. That raises serious ethics concerns.

I know multiple women who genuinely, truly believe that their children are more likely to die from a HPV vaccination side effect than they are from the cancers that HPV causes. I have no idea how you even begin to undo that level of mass psychosis in society.

I will never forgive RFK Jr. for what he’s done… never. The layers of hell he has unleashed in many different areas — not just healthcare — over the past two decades have caused so much damage, it’s overwhelming. He is one of the greatest villains of the 21st century.

Oof. This is the sort of misleading claims Trumpian conspiracy theorists used to foment questions about 2020, or discredit results in WI or MI by talking of "statistically unlikely" odds of Milwaukee or Detroit counts. (Built on a false claim of that 99% means "99% of precincts," which it doesn't.)

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here. They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad. Most importantly, they were human beings. And they were murdered. By the government of the United States of America.

GÜIRIA, Venezuela (AP) — One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump’s demand for highly sensitive information on every SNAP applicant in Minnesota is deeply troubling, and I thank the courts for temporarily blocking this action. I will keep fighting this unlawful demand, stand up for the rule of law, and protect Minnesotans from federal overreach.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”? Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.” But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background. Don’t believe his lies for a second. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.
