The lying is even more blatant this time. Six guys beating up on one man who is one the ground and then they shoot him multiple times.
Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Reporting From Alaska- Alaska news organizations need to cover Dan Sullivan's silence
What Sullivan has not found time to comment on in any way is Trump’s Greenland delusion and the damage it has done to the United States standing in the world. Trump has attacked and belittled our NATO...

@dermotcole.bsky.social Dan Sullivan is up to his eyeballs in the Greenland ridiculousness and it starts with “my Golden Dome Act.” Trump is convinced this is why HE needs Greenland. He doesn’t. The Pentagon and Congress have no idea how to track the Golden Dome and its billions. It’s insane. 🧵
You know who has their grimy hands all over billions of dollars for a project nobody knows how to do? Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan, that’s who. Sullivan is all over social media with “my Golden Dome.”
We don’t have money for healthcare but there’s billions for this fake boondoggle! #akelect
