casual reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated seven months ago, and Senator Hoffman and his wife were seriously injured that day as well, and both of those things were outcomes that the current administration wants to happen again

I am disgusted and outraged by the attack on Rep. Omar tonight while she was doing her job & meeting with constituents.

Let’s be clear: nonstop hate and dangerous rhetoric from Trump & his allies has fueled this type of violence.

I stand with Rep. Omar. I stand with Minnesota. This must stop.

I repeat, absolutely an amateur hour situation. Just wildly dumb stuff going on here.
In videos posted on social media, one employee can be heard saying: “This is the Ecuadorian consulate. You’re not allowed to enter.” The agent responds, “If you touch me, I’ll grab you.”
