Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

NEW: Minnesota attorneys argued the Trump administration is coercing the state to surrender its sovereignty through aggressive immigration raids, citing as evidence Attorney General Pam Bondi’s "ransom note" for voter data and Trump promising "a day of retribution" for Minnesota.

Sorry, Trump, your support is collapsing and you’re panicking. Right on cue, you’re deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of “investigations" have found nothing. Get your goons out of Minnesota.

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic "The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."

Do not let this piece of shit off the hook Minnesota emmer.house.gov

New internal documents show ICE is planning a major expansion of its detention and transfer network centered in Minnesota with capacity across five Midwest states.

When the fed gov weaponizes its power to try to intimidate local leaders for doing their jobs, every American should be concerned. We shouldn't have to live in a country where people fear that federal law enforcement will be used to play politics or crack down on local voices they disagree with.

What is that stupid, decrepit, fleshy, creepy old man even talking about?

Just to be clear I WILL NOT HANG THAT MOTHERFUCKER’S PICTURE UP IN MY HOME

Turns out it is much safer to attack the U.S. Capitol than it is to drive away from ICE. Who knew?

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again

We know too well the devastating consequences of such action—families torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, and multigenerational trauma inflicted on a community for decades. #AlligatorAlcatraz #NeverAgainIsNow

“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget. Republicans did it. Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate. Be precise and give, uh, credit where credit is due

Unfortunately, nobody with the power and ability to do anything about it is going to do anything about it.

Now they’re just fucking with us. Christ on a cracker I’m tired

Notice to all corporations: if you try to pass the cost of tariffs on to me I will "pass" on buying your product. As far as I'm concerned this is a "you problem"

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

I wish I were blissfully ignorant. Does anyone know how I can be that? I’d take just ignorant at this point.

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I am feeling quite liberated from ever retiring or purchasing new or good things.
