MN House DFL Floor Leader; climate wonk.
Trump's EPA just said climate change is a hoax.
They can't avoid the science or the law, but in the meantime this will do real harm to Americans' health and add over $6K in costs to new vehicles.

Let's be clear: Operation Metro Surge was a failure.
It endangered Minnesotans, violated our Constitutional rights, and caused enormous economic harm.
Its ending because Minnesotans stood up, and the public rejected it.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Don’t drop out all at once Republicans…
Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.
And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.
I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.
Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor. youtu.be/SiV3xVkX-kg

Within hours of Trump attacking @Ilhan with words, she’s attacked at her town hall. Words matter and Trump’s recklessness puts people in danger.
The strength to be attacked and continue the town hall is incredible. Ilhan is a force. 💪

I’m no Chris Madel fan, but glad to see a top 3 GOP straw poll finisher telling the truth while other GOP leaders bury their head in the sand.
Chris is right. All Minnesotans should reject racial profiling, raiding homes without a warrant, and prosecuting political opponents.

NYT video analysis:
- Officers weren’t aware Alex Pretti had a gun until they pinned him on the ground
- An agent had already removed his gun when two other agents opened fire
- They shot him 10 times in the back as he lay on the ground
Let the MN BCA investigate now.

There is no justification for shooting an observer with seven agents holding him on the ground.
What will it take for GOP leaders to say enough?
You can't blame observers. You can't blame Democrats for telling the truth.
The blame lies with reckless ICE officers. ICE must go.

Local police say they know ICE is racially profiling because… they’ve profiled off-duty officers of color.
All Minnesotans should be able to agree that civil rights matter. That the color of your skin is an unacceptable reason for arrest or harassment by ICE.

On the same day Trump pardons a fraudster, he once again is using the DOJ as his own political tool.
This is not only absurd, it fundamentally undermines democracy.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Today in my district ICE agents deployed tear gas in the middle of a busy commercial intersection, then drove away.
These agents are assaulting our communities. They have no respect for the law or civil liberties. They don’t care who they indiscriminately tear gas.
