25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

Happening Now: Hundreds of protesters are holding a noise demo outside of the Graduate by Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis where ICE agents are reportedly staying. Drums, guitars, pots and pans are in-tune to "fuck ICE" and "ICE out" chants. Riot police are currently in the lobby.
