The father—who's lived in the U.S. for over two decades and has an active asylum application—was reportedly driving with his daughter when he called his wife and said someone seemed to be following them. When they got home, agents got hold of the child. trib.al/VFuC1v3

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Thomas downplays precedent. That could mean more reversals, more uncertainty, more rights in jeopardy. Integrity of SCOTUS decisions today? Compromised if tomorrow’s majority can just undo them. visitlink.me/r37yLL?cid=s...

Blue states are preparing to protect their people when federal power is abused. MN has done it before—and can again if we win back the trifecta and elect leaders willing to use it. Ask every candidate: What will you do to keep Minnesota a free state? open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

Welker to Lindsey Graham as he pushes baseless conspiracy theories in an effort to gin up a scandal about Obama: "Are you trying to rewrite history to distract from the Epstein matter, senator?"

I am grateful to the Governors of California, Florida, Minnesota, and New Jersey for sending firefighting crews to Oregon. This is the best of America—states stepping up to help their neighbors without hesitation. Your firefighters are heroes. Thank you for your partnership.

Heading into NYC for a live shot, and this is the sign on one of the overpasses

Take note of everyone protecting the Epstein pedophile ring to shield Donald Trump. Take note of the liars deflecting and distracting. Take note of the MAGA propagandists begging you to look the other way. Never let them live this down. Ever.

Hey @barackobama.bsky.social guessing you think it’s beneath you…but a slander lawsuit may be the only thing these people respect.

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

The GOP megabill guts healthcare, food, and clean energy to fund giveaways to the ultra-wealthy and billions for ICE raids. What can we do? Join Rep. Casar and more great guests for tomorrow’s conversation about our plans for Accountability August and congressional recess: bit.ly/congresscomeshome

In a disgusting display of authoritarian abuse, ICE violently detains an Iranian-born American doctor, even breaking his car window, as he dropped his child off at daycare.

Analysts were instructed to flag the names of prominent perpetrators from the Epstein files because “we don’t want to take anyone by surprise.” My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

NEW: Minnesota just ranked in the top 5 states for quality of life. No matter what happens in Washington, we’re still focused on making Minnesota the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

MORE NEWS --> Last year, Sen Ron Wyden sought to subpoena the release of Epstein financial transactions on file with the Treasury Department. He asked GOP senators to join him in backing a subpoena. None of them agreed, a Wyden aide tells me: newrepublic.com/article/1982...

This is the most comprehensive summary of Trump’s 4-Part strategy to deal with his Epstein scandal—plus everything else that happened today.

Our new social toolkit makes it easy to share news from across the web that will help toxify Trump and MAGA. It’s not about highlighting every Trump atrocity; it’s about calling attention to policies and actions that broad majorities reject: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/trum...

Get your friends and family into the fight: Fight Back with Friends is a program to help you pull friends and family off the sidelines with talking points, tools, and tactics designed to grow our movement. RSVP to attend tonight’s training and get started. 👇

Make sure your GOP representative knows that you’re paying attention. Ask Republicans if they’re on the side of transparency or part of Trump’s Epstein cover-up.

If there were any doubts about why the Epstein files haven’t been released…

CNN: Would you ever use subpoena power to try to find out more info about Epstein? JASON SMITH: That's not a common thing I've utilized within the Ways and Means Committee CNN: But you did use subpoena power with Hunter Biden JASON SMITH: That was the only time I used it

So wait — Speaker Johnson thinks shutting down Congress to duck 🦆 a vote on the Epstein files will make people talk about it… less? 🤔

Let that sink in for a sec.

We must do everything we can to put a stop to the atrocities being committed by this criminal regime. Show up. Show up for everything. Protests, meetings, town halls, book clubs, Zoom events. You have more power than just your vote.

No wonder they are desperately trying to distract us

Per my previous email…

Oh so the president could release secret files if he wanted to, you say?

Republicans have clawed back over $9 Billion in federal funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid that passed on a bipartisan basis just months ago. They are quickly surrendering power to Trump and his unelected bureaucrats like Russ Vought, the author of Project 2025.

This is what fear looks like.

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama: "Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

Trump is attacking Massie because Massie is pushing to release the Epstein files, once again revealing just how terrified Trump is of what those files might contain.

As our slide toward authoritarianism accelerates, it falls on us to lead the fight against fascism and force vital institutions off the sidelines. Sign up for One Million Rising to learn strategic non-cooperation strategies and stand with one million Americans organizing their neighbors.

Thanks for your patience, Minnesota. The Stone Arch Bridge is officially open and ready for the next 150 years.

I think a PBS passport is only 5 dollars a month in my area, much less than the streaming apps, and much better programming. Let’s all throw them some support.

And Bondi is scrambling to meet her? Odds that a quid pro quo is being worked out?

PBS News is not going anywhere. We will continue our work without fear or favor, as we have for nearly five decades on the air. We are profoundly grateful to Viewers Like You for your loyalty and unwavering support.

The “most transparent administration in history” is shutting down a branch of government early because that’s how badly they don’t want to release the Epstein files.

Hillary Clinton's emails: 6

A NOTE FROM SENATOR SMITH'S STAFF -- While at work at the Capitol today, Sen. Smith started to not feel well. She went to the Capitol physician who recommended she undergo more thorough examination at GW hospital.

We all know someone who wants to join our fight but isn’t sure where to start. Fight Back with Friends is a new program designed to break down that barrier. Join our upcoming training for new tools to help get your friends and family off the sidelines.

Your move #MnLeg!!!

who could have foreseen that cutting disaster preparedness was a bad idea?

Congenital liar or cognitive decline? Either is no good for this country.

Minnesota is keeping Texas close in our hearts as devastating flooding continues. We stand ready to help our neighbors down south in any way we can as communities begin the long road to recovery.

Yesterday, I and a number of my House colleagues got tattoos to remember Melissa Hortman. I have some other ideas for how to honor her legacy, but this felt like a good start. Here's a longer post about how I came to the design. #mnleg
