The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.)

The lying, gaslighting and belligerence of Trump and his thugs is beyond fantastical. What we are witnessing is madness that beggars belief, and puts to shame the propaganda of history’s most terrifying regimes.

This sounds awful and we need details from the Administration ASAP.
In the meantime, I agree with @smith.senate.gov - ICE should immediately withdraw from Minneapolis to deescalate.

A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers that recent administration threats against Greenland didn’t signal an imminent invasion and that the goal is to buy the island from Denmark, according to people familiar with the discussions."

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

We’d like to dedicate our final post for the day to the brave law enforcement officials who fought an angry mob on this day, five years ago. May their unwavering dedication to the service of our nation give us the strength we need to carry on in this fight against fascism.

Trump said on "Truth Social" the other day that his "real" approval rating is 64%. He is a liar. It is 40% (56% disapprove).
