This is wrong! ICE is out of control.

Every American - Republican and Democrat - should be outraged by this assault on freedom and privacy. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Wake up Congress!

I know there are many issues today - and some people will be walking out this afternoon - but please take 5-10 minutes to call Congress to keep Trump's hands off of Greenland. News outlets report that many Republicans in Congress oppose threatening Greenland. (1/2) thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Here is a video from Reuters of ICE breaking into a house in the Twin Cities and removing an elderly man wearing only shorts in sub-zero weather. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen. ICE is out of control. Congress and the courts need to stop this. www.reuters.com/video/watch/...

Louansee Moua says ICE agents came to her brother-in-law’s apartment, handcuffed him and forced him outside in freezing weather in boxers. She says Saly, a U.S. citizen, was released after they realized “he had no criminal history and no reason to be detained.” Photo by Reuters

ICE is out of control. This includes video of a man being taken out of his home in shorts in sub-zero weather in the Twin Cities. He was a naturalized U.S. citizen. Congress and the courts need to stop this. www.rawstory.com/amp/ice-us-c...

More praise for Wade Dooley, Democratic candidate for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, a leader for conservation, clean water, and economic renewal for farmers and rural Iowa. www.bleedingheartland.com/2026/01/19/w...

Deadly wildfires in Chile have killed at least 18, destroyed over 250 homes, and forced evacuations of 20,000 people. Tragic. How I wish the United States was helping solve the climate crisis instead of sowing discord and hurting people here and around the world. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Trump and Republicans in Congress roughly tripled the ICE budget from 2024 to 2025, and it’s going even higher in 2026. From $10 billion a year to more than $40 billion a year. ICE is out of control. Congress or the courts need to stop it. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

ICE is out of control. Family coming home from a basketball game tear gassed. Congress or the courts need to stop this. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

ICE Agents enter Target with no warrant and violently tackle two American citizen employees, evidently because they didn't "look American" enough. (DHS refused to explain their rationale, so we have to guess.) The injured Americans were later dumped in parking lots miles away in sub-zero weather.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Wade Dooley, a farmer and owner of a custom seeding operation near Marshalltown, announced Tuesday his Democratic campaign for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture.

More on Wade Dooley, candidate for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture. I think he can help Democrats win across our state. “Dooley has been farming since he was 14 years old. A graduate of Iowa State University, he returned home to farm with his father in 2008.” www.timesrepublican.com/news/todays-...

Senator Klobuchar says there are now 3,000 federal agents in Minnesota, compared to 1,000 total police in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. I looked it up and the Minnesota State Patrol has fewer than 1,000 total employees. Trump and Noem are out of control.

ICYMI: Wade Dooley, age 43, farmer from Marshall County, is running for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture. I support Wade. A real farmer and real conservationist - he doesn’t just talk about clean water, he’s been doing it and can bring Iowans together to get it done.

Another news report on Wade Dooley running for Secretary of Agriculture. A real farmer, a real conservationist, and a real Democrat. Farms in Marshall County near Albion. Only 43 years old. I support Wade to bring Iowans together to clean up our water! www.radioiowa.com/2026/01/13/m...

Wade Dooley, age 43, a real farmer, a real conservationist, and a real Democrat for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture! “Dooley has worked to implement conservation practices on the farm including no-till, cover crops, oxbow restoration and enrollment of tracts in the Conservation Reserve Program.”

Wade Dooley, a farmer and owner of a custom seeding operation near Marshalltown, announced Tuesday his Democratic campaign for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, Cami Koons reports.

Excited to see Wade Dooley, age 43, Democrat running for Secretary of Agriculture. He is a 6th generation farmer in Marshall County along the Iowa River who has been a leader for conservation and actually done many clean water practices. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/...

Another report on ICE illegally detaining tribal members in Minnesota. Trump is out of control. Congress needs to stop him.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

More evidence that Trump is out of control. People are getting hurt and even killed. Not good for our economy, either. Congress must stop him.

Trump's tariffs and trade wars. Bail out of Argentina. USDA layoffs. Bailouts that favor rice and cotton farmers in Texas. Cuts to SNAP assistance, conservation, and local food programs. Not good for Iowa or our farmers. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/...

“US citizens should leave Venezuela immediately” … Checking in on the country President Trump executed a coup against a week ago

The shooting of Renee Good was totally unnecessary and wrong. I am mourning her death. She should not have been killed.

I watched. Totally unnecessary and wrong. If someone supported Trump, it is okay to say this is out of control and needs to stop.

Funeral for 80-year-old grandmother Rosa Gonzalez killed in Trump’s attack on Venezuela Saturday. @reuters.com: “Venezuela, family members of 80-year-old Rosa Elena Gonzalez laid her to rest after she died from injuries sustained during US military strikes in Catia La Mar, northwest of Caracas.”

More sorrow in Trump’s America. Another person killed by ICE.

“Wilman González picked through rubble and broken furniture coating the floor of his home on Sunday. “He was quiet, mourning everything he’d unexpectedly lost when an American strike blew apart the wall of his apartment, killing his sleeping 80-year-old aunt Rosa.” apnews.com/article/madu...

The New York Times is reporting that an 80-year-old grandmother Rosa Gonzalez was killed when her apartment was hit during Trump’s attack on Venezuela. If true, it makes the illegal attack so much worse. Venezuelan military personnel did not deserve to die, either.

This is wrong. “An airstrike hit a three-story civilian apartment complex and knocked out an exterior wall early Saturday as U.S. forces assaulted the city. “The strike killed Rosa González, 80, her family said, and seriously wounded a second person.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor. The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.

Failing on the economy here, failing because of his illegal actions and overreach, and failing because of his other ethical and criminal problems (e.g., Epstein files), Trump says his administration is now going to run Venezuela. That is wrong. www.axios.com/2026/01/03/t...

Middle of the night news. Congress must stop Trump. No war with Venezuela. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

An ex-FEMA official said the agency can’t do disaster response and recovery without the staff that are being laid off.

Laying off FEMA staff will not make disaster relief better. Americans need more help, not less, when hurt by disasters. Congress should stop this. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/01/p...

More news on how Trump‘s policies are hurting farmers. One example: “The Local Food for Schools program and the Local Food Purchase Assistance program would have provided just over $1 billion this fiscal year. But Trump's USDA canceled the funding in March.” www.iowapublicradio.org/harvest-publ...

Farm debt in the United States - adjusted for inflation - is now higher than it was at the start of the Farm Crisis in the 1980s. I don't blame Trump entirely for this problem, but you will see large increases in his years as President and his policies are making it worse. #Iowa #Farming (1/2)

Rice and cotton farmers are getting 2-3 times more per acre in taxpayer bailout compared to corn and soybean farmers, and lots of smaller farmers are being left out. This is after Trump gutted local food and conservation programs earlier this year. (1/2) www.agweb.com/news/policy/...

Renee Hardman is another big win for Democrats in Iowa, just like others earlier this year (Mike Zimmer, Angel Ramirez, Catelin Drey). Real chance to flip Governor, U.S. Senator, and 2-4 U.S. House seats in Iowa in 2026.

Praying for those affected by the extreme precipitation on the West Coast. We urgently need more disaster relief, more hazard mitigation, and more action to slow down, stop and reverse the buildup of climate pollution in the atmosphere. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This Christmas Eve, my heart is with Sophie, Colin, and the entire Hortman family after the unimaginable loss of Melissa and Mark — two extraordinary Minnesotans who gave so much to our state.

Congress must hold them accountable for missing the deadline for the complete Epstein files, for redacting all or part of so many files, and for this.

Sickening. And the Epstein files are supposed to be released today.

It's been six months since we lost Mark and Melissa Hortman. We miss them both so much. This is a lovely tribute to our leader, our Speaker, and our dear friend. Melissa devoted her life to making Minnesota a better place for anyone and everyone. We will never stop working to honor her legacy.

I miss my friend, Melissa. This is a beautiful piece about her life. 💚 🌳 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Great piece about my dear friend Melissa Hortman. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

So Rolling Stone has published this about Melissa Hortman. As Governor Walz says toward the end, we have all been deeply damaged by her assassination. I pray we can stop the hate and stop the violence.
