REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

He’s car-free and bikes and takes transit everywhere, and is ready to bring fresh and bold leadership to Springfield!

No one blew me away but I think Stratton was the best of the three.
Wouldn't it be great if Robin Kelly and Juliana Stratton joined forces to eat Raja Krishnamoorthi live on-stage tonight?

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.
They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

I said this out loud at a party last night and several of my friends yelled "Alex, NO!" simultaneously.
I've gotten to the stage of career slump where I'm toying with the idea of going to law school.

Not one more dollar for ICE terror in our communities.
Democrats in the Senate must hold the line and STOP DHS's funding. Not one vote.
In the House, I call on my colleagues to move past statements & cosponsor my Melt ICE Act to cripple DHS’s enforcement & return dollars to our communities.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

If we put our heads together, I'm sure we can find a way to blame this on bike lanes!

DHS spending bill passed 220-207
7 Democrats voted in favor:
Henry Cuellar
Don Davis
Laura Gilles
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
Jared Golden
Vicente Gonzalez
Tom Suozzi
Massie voted No
Andy Harris didn't vote
Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn't whipping them to do so

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.
