There are more ICE agents in Minnesota than Minneapolis and St. Paul police combined.

They are here against the wishes of local law enforcement, including Police Chief Brian O'Hara.

ICE is not making our communities more safe, and they need to get off our streets.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

The layers of derangement here are like a lasagna of stupid, narcissistic, and insane noodles with a sauce of dementia.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.

The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.
Many of you have become drama-addicted doomers, and you seem to think it's important for the rest of us to join you.

Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.

Now get off my lawn.

This is being reported as if it's new information or a shift by Colorado Gov. Polis on clemency for Tina Peters. It's not.

Polis has long said he'll consider Peters' clemency case like any other but won't be pressured by Trump.

Gov's office confirms to me his view is unchanged.

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
