On the one-month anniversary of the Justice Department missing the deadline to release all the Epstein materials in its possession, Republicans in Congress are largely shrugging their shoulders.

In this vengeful, crazed message to P.M of Norway, Trump links his demand to seize Greenland to the fact that he didn’t win a Nobel Peace Prize.
When a president is old & no longer able to make decisions in the interest of his country, we need to impeach him before he inflicts further damage

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

Per AAG Harmeet Dhillon’s X page, the DOJ is now investigating this protest.
This may frustrate the Trump admin’s religious critics, as the DOJ doesn’t appear to have investigated (at least publicly) any of the incidents where clergy have been shot w/pepper balls/tear gas/etc. by DHS agents.

A quick note to all the media covering Minneapolis right now, the Reich called my grandfather and great uncle "protesters" when all they were doing was stopping SS from disappearing their neighbors. So maybe don't be like the Nazi Press unless you are the Nazi Press.
Killed my grandfather and my great uncle for speaking out against the Reich. Took over my grandmother's house with my mom living there as a child. And they were not Jewish. Nazis are not an abstract concept.
There's a lot of abstract talk about nazis right now and I just want to bring it back to concrete reality for a second:
Those motherfuckers tried to murder MY GRANDPARENTS.
