I hope in the future when we wrest back the govt from the current regime, we put up some guardrails to stop politicians from just defunding vital govt programs with no rhyme or reason

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote.
If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long.
In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

The orange felon has made more money in less than a year than that of the last 18 US Presidents combined. He isn’t a President, he’s a tyrant, a rapist, a fraudster, a war criminal, a domestic terrorist and a murderer. He should be in jail, not the White House.

There is a growing credibility issue with Trump and his administration. You can’t rewrite what happened. There’s evidence. There are witnesses. Trying to justify and deflect makes Trump look weak and scared!

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
