I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

G.O.P. Congressman: We Need to Wake Up After Minneapolis www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/o... Although i dont agree with everything said here. I completely echo the waking up part. @adamsmith.house.gov its time to lead a coalition

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

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.

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov you own today.

For those asking where we go from here: Not voting to fund ICE is a great place for us to start.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Minnesota’s Congressional Democrats are united. We’re speaking with one voice to condemn the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti and to demand that ICE, DHS, and CBP agents leave our state immediately.

Trump’s endless empowerment of federal immigration agents has resulted in yet another senseless killing. This brutal crackdown has to end. I cannot and will not vote to fund DHS while this administration continues these violent federal takeovers of our cities.

Kristi Noem must be impeached. ICE must be abolished. Democrats in the Senate cannot fund DHS. Trump has created a militarized police force accountable only to him. These agents need to leave our cities NOW.

The real “domestic terrorists” are in the White House. The victim, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was reportedly a law abiding US citizen & an ICU nurse at the VA. He was licensed to carry a firearm. Trump & Miller are responsible for his killing & are now lying to the American people.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

To my Republican colleagues, the Vice President is spitting in your face and openly flouting your constitutional authority. Time to decide if you came here to be a Member of Congress or a cheerleader for whatever Trump wants.

Apologies to Vinay Prasad!!!!

Add the Washington ones @adamsmith.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @jayapal.house.gov

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help. Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead. He continues to be a national embarrassment.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “What if you could save someone in West Africa from developing river blindness, caused by a parasite that can destroy the optic nerve, for 75 cents? Or keep a child from dying of hunger in Sudan’s civil war and famine for $14 a week?” Nicholas Kristof writes.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

This is why I think Democrats need to let the GOP pass their budget. Let the voters see and feel what GOP government means. See if Ron is right about this not being a “gut-wrenching problem.” People need to understand what GOP rule is: Pain and poverty.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

I work with Veterans. If I told them that they "killed people and broke things for a living" they would (rightfully) tell me to go to hell. Those that have had to kill someone in the line of duty most often view it with sadness, regret, and one of the worst experiences of their lives.

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous. Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos. Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

My guess is at least 500 #doctors at my #hospital are on H1B visas including at least a few dozen #hospitalists, and if we lose even a handful to other countries our house of cards #healthcare system will fall apart, let alone all 500+

I recommend everyone watches this

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

America has intersecting problems: -right wing hate -guns -media fragmentation -ignorance

A colleague, a friend and a brilliant scientist. The US lost a trusted vaccine expert to an anti-science purge at #ACIP Americans should be outraged.

The rank corruption of this administration is absolutely gobsmacking. Accepting a $400 million private jet from Qatar? What are the national security concerns? What is Qatar getting in return? Trump is a crook, and this is the most corrupt administration in American history.

Not such a big problem in clinical trials, but major challenge in retrospective research as well as lab-based research. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
