I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.
Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.
We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

Kristi Noem should never have been confirmed and the country is paying the price for her malevolence and incompetence.
She must answer for DHS’s violent and illegal policies and practices.
Which have already claimed too many lives.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.
It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.
It started with intolerance and hate speech.
It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

I went to check my registration at the Sec of State site and they offer a tab for voting locations. When I selected early, it showed one almost an hour away, which shocked me. I’ve since been informed that the SOS site is not updated and the only reliable info is on the county election site.
Texas is fucking with our voting again. Since 2015 we have voted at the fire station 2 minutes from our home.

If Senate Republicans refuse to strip out the DHS bill to put real constraints on ICE — and hold hostage the vast majority of government funding — then Republicans are complicit in the chaos and own the potential government shutdown.
