I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Federal agents shot at civilians in their cars at least 15 times since July. We tracked each case.
In every instance, feds claimed drivers tried to ram agents.
But the claim often falls apart under scrutiny.

Donald Trump spread lies and conspiracy theories to his followers to make them believe the 2020 election was rigged against him, then incited an angry mob to attack the U.S. Capitol to stop the election certification.

President Biden never asked Jack Smith to pursue retribution against his political opponents.
But do you know who did? Trump.
Trump has weaponized the Department of Justice and opened sham investigations – that’s why they’ve failed.

In an investigation, you don’t just say, “Hey, dude, we’re about to get your phone records!”
The argument Republicans are making is just idiotic. Stealing a frickin election is not a legislative act.
Senators and members of Congress are not above the law.

How scared are Republican of talking about the Epstein files?
So scared they’d rather talk to Jack Smith, who secured multiple felony indictments against Donald Trump, than about Trump’s associations with Epstein & why the DOJ refuses to release 99% of the Epstein files.

The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee ignored a bipartisan congressional subpoena directed at him.
His actions have made it harder for congressional committees to get witnesses and testimony – damaging the rule of law.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.
