Monitoring? That’s it? Are you committed to publicly supporting the sanctuary state legislation? Restoring the healthcare you stripped away from undocumented immigrants who are adults? Banning the egregious human rights violations we saw today? Thought so.
We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.
While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

So since Democrats just had a vote on a resolution to condemn socialism. When is the resolution to condemn fascism? Would love to see a vote on that!

Once again, the President is trying to divide instead of unite. His purported attempt to remove Temporary Protected Status for Somalis specifically in Minnesota should not be tolerated and is likely illegal.

1. Trump could bring himself to publicly congratulate Mamdani when Obama couldn’t
2. Trump, a typical bully, doesn’t go after strong ppl who are good on TV. (Doesn’t go after AOC much, either, for ex.)
3. Never pegged Mamdani for a top! But he clearly is. He topped this one.

If Joe Biden had an MRI a month ago and we had no idea why it was done or on what body part and he claimed he had no idea about either of those things it would literally be all you heard about in the press but Trump just gets a huge pass b/c reporters treat him differently.

On Nov. 15, 2015, Minneapolis Police killed unarmed 24-year-old Jamar Clark.
The community responded by occupying the police's 4th Precinct for 18 days before the encampment was evicted.

Same for therapists — lots of us in private practice are on ACA plans, subsidized ACA plans (MinnesotaCare), or Medicaid. There has been a huge uptick in group practices since ACA came on the scene. We’ll see what this does to the therapy community.
Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies.
Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Tina Smith should be the first to call for replacing Schumer since she's already not running again. And if she's not up to the task of breaking senatorial congeniality for the greater good then she should resign and allow Walz to appoint someone who can actually fight for the next year.
