Yesterday on Fox 9, Rep. Emmer told Minnesotans to "watch the rhetoric." Today, his official press release thanked DOJ "for taking action against Somali fraudsters." A 12-month audit has him using that exact phrase 26 prior times. Today is the 27th.

A ProPublica analysis of ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

Organizers now say more than 180 protests planned for this weekend -- Saturday April 25 -- against Trump ICE prison camps nationwide: www.mobilize.us?org_ids=44001

Tom Emmer on Fox Business: Republicans will "save the day" on DHS. Day 70. The bill to reopen 94% of DHS has sat in the House since March 27. The $10B OBBBA bridge fund? Down to $1.4B. Because Trump's memo spent it on employees the bill would have covered. mn06watch.substack.com/p/saved-the-...

The Senate took a reckless action. This hurts. 225,000 acres impacted 650,000 public comments ignored A foreign mining company now has a clear path forward We’re angry. Not done. A $150,000 match is live. Every dollar is doubled to power the fight ahead. https://www.friends-bwca.org/openwater/

Yesterday we grieved. Today we act. Congress stripped protections from the Boundary Waters. Now we fight back. Every dollar is doubled by a $150,000 match to pressure the Walz administration to cancel Twin Metals’ leases. Take action: www.friends-bwca.org/openwater

Washington betrayed the Boundary Waters. Now Minnesota Democrats need to show up. We’re heading to the DFL Convention demanding hearings on copper-sulfide mining and action to protect the Boundary Waters. Give now. Double your impact: www.friends-bwca.org/openwater

Why are we tearing up Minnesota's wilderness to hand profits to a foreign billionaire? Copper sulfide is 1% of the rock. The other 99% creates sulfuric acid. Every sulfide mine ever built has polluted. The US senate sided with a Chilean billionaire over our clean water. Make that make sense!

Today, Tom Emmer tweeted 7 times that Democrats are the party of FRAUD. On Tuesday, he called Ilhan Omar's $30M disclosure revision a "multibillion-dollar correction." Same day, a federal lawsuit in California used a number closer to the one he said out loud. It wasn't filed against a Democrat.

Timothy Snyder has an amazing mind and his interview on The Daily Beast aired today is worth an hour of your time. I have followed him since hearing his debate with Stephen Moore on Diane Rehn show. He speaks what we must hear If Democracy is to survive.

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend you watch this interview with a historian Timothy Snyder. Whether you love or hate the daily beast this is very different from their usual interviews and their producer. Hugh did a great job! Worth your time! youtube.com/watch?v=Z9XB...

President Donald Trump has all the impulses of a fascist autocrat — but there's a key weakness that stands in the way of achieving his goals of reshaping the nation, historian and professor Timothy Snyder told The Daily Beast.

This ruling is a total betrayal of the separation of church & state. Trump presenting himself as Christ, Hegseth's attempt to quote bible verses, & now this: Are we a democracy or a theocracy? www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Timothy Snyder on Hegseth: "... I mean, there's somebody who seems to be clearly imprisoned in set of ideas about how the world works which are demonstrably false..."

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 In Minnesota, we’re tackling climate change by putting our state on a path to 100% clean energy by 2040 - all while supporting sustainable agriculture and the green energy jobs of the future right here at home.

Rep. Tom Emmer, on KNSI yesterday: "If you want to be in Somalia, get the hell out of here and go back to Somalia." He represents MN-06. Thousands of his constituents are Somali-American. Today's Daily documents the 48-hour tonal ladder. mn06watch.substack.com/p/go-back-to...

Rep. Emmer attacked Osseo schools today for adding a prayer room + foot-washing stations, invoking "Somali gang violence" with no cited incident. Then we looked at where Emmer went to school.
