This woman was an observer when ice was arresting her Somali neighbors who are legal citizens. She was arrested and her legs kept in shackles for 5 hours and they CUT OFF her wedding ring when they were processing her. It is so appalling. In Minneapolis my hometown.

Trump said he’d have “no problem” releasing the full Venezuela boat strike video. He’s backpedaling because the truth is ugly and he knows it looks like a war crime.

Why should we pay attention to red states?

Everybody in this country just lost access to student loan forgiveness because of the state of Missouri.

You don’t need a coup when you can bribe red state AGs.

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

This is the most milquetoast, awkward, stilted comment on an issue that demands actual passion. The House Dems badly need a different front man.

Maybe not a different minority leader - maybe he's great at managing the caucus and doing the other political work. But as a speaker this is terrible
Jeffries calls for video of the September 2 boat strikes to be released and asks, "if Hegseth and the administration think their actions are justifiable, what are they hiding from the American people?"

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is.  And we know what causes it, too."

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.

"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀
