NEW: Senate Democrats REJECT funding for DHS, which will lead to shutdown of the agency. Keep in mind, ICE and CBP are still funded by supplemental money in the BBB, but it's harder to spend and will deplete those funds. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

As I wrote two weeks ago, when the retreat from Minneapolis began, “it is proof that people power is not theoretical, it is real. It can force change. It can alter the course of history.” www.headsupnews.org/p/people-pow...
People power is real

Hassan: "What is happening here is unacceptable to the people in my state of New Hampshire and to people from every corner, and in fact people around the globe. I just got back from the country of Greenland. Their children are scared of the United States of America."

My father is an authentic hero. Beloved by all who know him. The VA acknowledged what his service in Vietnam cost him. Now, battling the cancer that his service caused, VA cuts are causing him so much stress. Hate the America we became because of the coward in the WH who doesn’t understand service

Raised by an evangelical Christian mom on military bases, women in the 1970-80s did not work out of the home. I was in high school before I became aware that I was could seek employment as an adult. SAHM raised, I was a teenager before it dawned on me: my life will not be like my Mom’s. I will work

Your father’s work likely contributed to my father receiving a settlement from the government. Advocating for these victims is essential. Sorry that war toxins hurt both men. Now. my dad loses sleep wondering if his home health support will continue. His PT was restored but only AFTER he fell

The SAVE America Act isn’t saving anyone.
Congress should be expanding access to the ballot box—not restricting it. This bill could make it harder for millions of married women to vote if it passes. It’s voter suppression disguised in the name of election security.
I will be voting HELL no.

MAGA men loathe women. Ideal MAGA women do not speak English well, do not speak back even when threatened, and stay constantly available for sex. Bang maids do not need electoral representation, MAGA brides are instructed to just lay quietly and think of making grocery lists while he grunts on you.

My dad has a 100% disability due to exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. VA services have been slashed. My dad should not be abandoned by the VA after joining at 17, serving for 26 years of active duty. DOGE cuts are killing Vietnam Vets. DO SOMETHING!

Stripping women of their right to vote while we read daily about little girls being raped by powerful protected men is harsher.

They call it the #SAVEAct, in reality its the Republican Voter Suppression Act, which imposes unreasonable impediments on the elderly, married women, the working poor, and the infirm to cast their ballots. Due to individual costs, it's essentially an unconstitutional poll tax.

SAVE Act is softly repealing the 19th amendment and denying women the right to vote. Men in the USA do NOT take their wives last name (fewer than 2%), so this is only an issue for the Christian bitches who vowed to obey.

2,000 will be eligible, and successful recipients will be chosen at random from applicants, who must be "professional artists" (definition tbc).

Minnesota is home to fewer than 1% of undocumented workers. Trump is here because MINNESOTA NEVER VOTED FOR THE BLOATED TURD. Thank you for attending my TED talk.
I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

Spy on its people directly and boldly without any hesitation. Using new war weapons on protesters in Minnesota? No investigation needed. Epstein’s corrupt behavior, let’s monitor and delete records identified by democrats as of interest. A lasagna of corruption

My husband retired from 22 years in Twin Cities law enforcement after the first Trump presidency. Watching ICE spray tear gas’s at the eyes and on the skin of protesters makes him furious. Deplorable behavior from ICE. What these officers are doing while enjoying immunity from prosecution is wrong.
