PSA for the fellas:
Every woman you know has been in a room with a Pete Hegseth (sometimes drunk, sometimes not) who raged at her for not being instantly charmed by, or acquiescent to, him—like Hegseth rages at reporters—and had to do a quick calculation about getting out safely. And a lot didn't.

We encountered an ICE immigration enforcement action on Park Ave. in Minneapolis today. When my colleague Ben Hovland and I arrived there were only a couple observers, but there were dozens blowing whistles by the time ICE agents left without making an arrest.

I went to @mischieftoy.com today for a whistle and discovered that they had, among other things, Terry's Oranges, so if your Christmas is not complete without a chocolate orange (valid!) you should know that you can find them at the awesome Michief Toys.

This is the story tonight. Every Dem who was in that room should be telling us what they saw.
Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

When I first got to Minnesota years ago, my roomie and I (both transplants from Back East) shared a duplex building with two Somali grad students. They became great pals to us. We were all new to this strange place in varying degrees, and they really helped it feel like home. Trump’s a racist pig.
The president fails to realize how deeply Somali Americans love this country.
We are doctors, teachers, and elected leaders working to make our country better.
We will not let Trump intimidate or debilitate us. My op-ed:

The president’s obsession with the Somali community and me is really unhealthy and creepy. He is trying to deflect from his failures and sinking approval ratings. Sorry, Trump, we all see through your attempts to hide from your broken promises.

Let us keep in mind that one of the key leaders of the Feeding Our Future fraud was not Somali, and was born and raised right here in Minnesota.
Real leadership means holding everyone accountable – equally and fairly – not scapegoating an entire community while protecting wealthy criminals.

From Tina Smith on Trump's comments about Somalis:
"I mean, this is what bigotry looks like...This is an individual who's condemning an entire group of people, not because of who they are, but because of who he thinks they are. I mean, it's ignorant, and it is, I'm arrogant, and it's shameful."
