Doing my own little part to win elections, restore sanity and save America from a President and party that has gone off the rails. Organize. Donate. Register. Vote. 🏳️‍🌈
Republican Governor of Vermont Phil Scott
releases a statement about the murder of Alex Pretti.

No wonder he keeps winning reelection in blue Vermont with landslide victories.

It might seem shallow to talk about political narratives at a time like this, but they matter.

Right now, normie Americans are turning against the Trump Admin and ICE in droves, the GOP is buckling, and we have the moral high ground.

Keep filming, keep posting, keep calling, keep protesting.

The Trump Administration was so desperate to change the fact-based narrative about Alex Pretti's execution that they dove head-first into full-on anti-2nd Amendment talking points, and I am just in awe of their stupidity as they alienate what's left of their base.

VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti showed more bravery, patriotism and character than the countless politicians, billionaires and institutions that have bent the knee to Trump over the last year.

When the history books are written, it will be Americans like Alex who are venerated as the heroes of this era.

Yes, the language that these Republicans are using comes nowhere close to meeting the moment, and many more need to speak out..

But it's clear that the pressure is mounting, the cracks are forming, and self-preservation instincts are kicking in.

Republicans start raising concerns about Minneapolis shooting
Most in the GOP are silent or backing the Trump administration, but a conspicuous few are speaking out.

His administration is executing Americans in broad daylight and he’s posting at length about his ballroom.

Not a smart time to be this tone deaf.
Trump: “I’m building, on top of everything else that I am doing, one of the greatest and most beautiful Ballrooms anywhere in the World, with more than 300 Million Dollars of Great American Patriots’ money, & working closely with, right from the beginning, the US Military and Secret Service”

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Not surprised that there was another murder of an American citizen at the hands of ICE.

But what I did *not* see coming was the victim lawfully carrying a gun...and the Trump Administration adopting blatant anti-2nd Amendment talking points.

Can't think of a worse political development for them.

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - TEXAS STATE SENATE DISTRICT 9🚨

Democrat: Taylor Rehmet

Election Date: 🗓️THIS SATURDAY, JANUARY 31ST🗓️

Area: Ft. Worth

Notes: In terms of political impact, this is THE biggest election of 2026 Q1. A flip of this Trump +17 Texas seat would send shockwaves. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!

"Americans don't like what they're seeing right now...(Trump's) getting bad advice right now."

Another Republican - Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt - concedes that the situation in Minneapolis is a disaster for the Trump Administration, and seems worried about the repercussions for his party.

Wow.

Angus King is another of the 7 Democrats (though technically he is an Independent) who voted to re-open the government in November to much criticism from the left.

Him being a NO on this funding bill is considerable.
Sen. Angus King: "I can't vote for a bill that includes ICE funding under these circumstances"

A reminder that we have *2* Minnesota State Legislative Special Elections in the Twin Cities this Tuesday.

All eligible Twin City residents need to turn out and vote amidst this assault on their freedoms.

Here is the first election:
🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - MINNESOTA STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 64A🚨

Democrat: Meg Luger-Nikolai

Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, JANUARY 27TH🗓️

Area: St. Paul (Summit Hill)

Notes: A safe blue seat, but every Dem must show up to voter and take a stand. And a win here will TIE the MN House chamber, 67D-67R.

Ignore Comer's idiotic response here.

The real news is that someone like Bartiromo - one of the Trump Administration's staunchest defenders - is not buying the BS.

If they are losing her on this issue, they are losing many, many others.
wow -- Maria Bartiromo seems to be legit upset about the killing of Alex Pretti. It's very rare for her to be offsides with the Trump administration.

If you need a break from the rage, enjoy this juicy story about how Ted Cruz was caught on tape trashing Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Exclusive: In secret recordings, Cruz trashes Trump, Vance
The comments to donors last year are some of the harshest criticisms of Trump and Vance by a fellow Republican.

I was a military police officer, I know what effective domestic law enforcement looks like. What we’re seeing in Minneapolis is violent political repression. Unhinged and completely un-American.

Mike Lawler - will you call for Kristi Noem to resign, an independent investigation, and the resignation of every DHS leader who enabled this tragedy and lied in its aftermath?

It’s been over 24 hours since Alex Pretti was killed by federal agents while peacefully expressing his first amendment right and not a SINGLE word from Mike Lawler.
January 25, 2026 at 4:03 PM
You know the government's lies aren't working when Maria freakin' Bartiromo is using language to suggest that their story is bullsh*t.
BARTIROMO: But how was he threatening Border Patrol? How was he using a gun to threaten? He was filming it

KASH PATEL: That's something I'll let DHS because they are investigating that case

(Notable that even Bartiromo seems to be bothered by this!)

This right here.

We are still 9 months away from the midterms.

Until then we will have a few select opportunities to enact real electoral and political change.

Take advantage of them.

Elections may seem trivial to some in these times, but they are actually more important than ever.
Our anger can be fueled into electoral change. GOP won’t give a shit until they start losing power.

Call every friend you know in Fort Worth area. Flip this state senate seat!!

I'm no paid political expert, but repeatedly lying to our faces about videos we've repeatedly seen with our own eyes is probably an unwise move.

And yet, that - along with a healthy dose of projection and cruelty - is what we're seeing in one clip after another from Aaron this morning.
BASH: Why was an unarmed man shot multiple times by your Border Patrol agents?

BOVINO: Dana, you don't know he was unarmed. I don't know he was unarmed. That's freeze frame adjudication. That's why we have an investigation.

BASH: It's not a freeze frame

First we had the announcement that the GOP Chair of the Homeland Seucirty Committee was calling for an oversight hearing.

Now we have this statement from REPUBLICAN House Rep. Michael Baumgartner of #W05.

The cracks are forming, and the GOP is getting nervous.

If you’re looking to understand who Alex Pretti was, look no further than this video where he honors a veteran who has passed away.

He was not a domestic terrorist.

He was a good man and a hero.

When I made this post 2 days ago I had no idea that the worst was still to come.
These four photos will define ICE for a generation.

We can’t let people forget the terror and cruelty and violence they inflicted on innocent people.

Make sure these images haunt them wherever they go.

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about Alex Pretti.

Remember his name and speak his truth.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
