Democrat Wins Minnesota Election With 95% of Vote Amid ICE Crackdown www.newsweek.com/democrats-wi...

The 5-year-old boy from Minneapolis who was wearing the blue knit hat with floppy ears when he was abducted by ICE appears almost comatose from trauma:

Trump continues to lie and incite violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a fraud ... she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

GOP Senator Thom Tillis explains EXACTLY how incompetent he believes Kristi Noem is:

Media calls protestors "activists" and kidnapping/seizure/detention "immigration crackdown". And it uses active voice for protestor movement and passive voice for ICE actions. It's disgusting.

Rep. Randy Fine on Ilhan Omar getting attacked: "I blame Ilhan Omar for what happened"

Outrage as feds in Alex Pretti's killing get 'paid vacation' rather than arrest www.rawstory.com/alex-pretti-...

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

i just want to cry. i have literally just spent the last 6 hours responding to email after email of people begging for rent money or for me to point them in the direction of help, which does not exist. please @governorwalz.mn.gov. we need an eviction moratorium. there is no other solution.

This needs to happen at the very least

This is still unacceptable. There is no reform possible for a culture of lawlessness. You have to rip it up at the root and create a whole new culture.

SHAHEEN: It's been reported that the oil sold for $500 million and $300 million went to Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million? RUBIO: It's still sitting in the account is my understanding SHAHEEN: The account in Qatar? RUBIO: Yes

Catholic Church not holding back:

Don't let the Trump administration lie to you. Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse. He was a son. A brother. A friend. A caretaker.

False equivalencies are the cult's bread and butter. Actually, it's all that they've got.

PBS and Fox News handled the story about the Border Patrol shooting of Alex Pretti quite differently. Fox News kept getting details wrong and implied Pretti threatened the agents. PBS spoke to a gun rights advocate from Minnesota.

📉☠️ Russia is breaking records — just not the ones it wanted. Slowest advance in a century (CSIS): ~15 meters a day at the cost of 1,000 soldiers daily — 35,000 a month. After billions burned, Russia gained just 0.8% of Ukraine in 2025. Don’t talk surrender. Ukraine will restore its 1991 borders.

Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture. This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump. Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

this quotation comes to a satisfying conclusion

@governorwalz.mn.gov: Trump called me because people stood on the street in 40-degree weather. Because Alex Pretti’s parents spoke up. And folks across the country did too. This is untenable for the Trump administration. The country has woken up.

Trump regime ICE thugs have been spotted driving around Arizona attacking unarmed civilians at random with drive by pepper spray attacks. They are escalating their attacks on the public nationwide. #3E #GoodvsEvil

"Kremlin is prepared to ensure President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's security." Russia started off the war attempting to assassinate him with a Chechen death squad, lol.

Russia is ready for Zelenskyy-Putin meeting — but only if Ukraine's president travels to Moscow. “Kremlin is prepared to ensure President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's security”.
