Amazing how completely nonviolent anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota have been. There haven’t been any legitimate reports of assaulting an officer. Not even one incident AFAIK.
Appears frustrating to the pro-repression politicians and secret police, who seem to have real trouble understanding it.

I said I would tear up Trump's budget and write a new one—and that's what I made sure we did.
The Senate passed 3 bills to fund everything from flood control projects to clean energy research, & more.

In Santa Ana, ICE shot the second kid in the video point blank in his left eye, blinding him forever. Then dragged him by his neck.

Trump couldn’t overturn 2020. Now he’s trying to rig 2026 in advance, by attacking voting access, redrawing maps, and creating doubt in our election system.
This is a direct attack on democracy, and we must stop it.

Minnesota law enforcement have video from multiple angles of an unjustified deadly shooting in Minneapolis. Therefore, they should arrest and prosecute the shooter for murder. The fact that the killer is a federal agent should not alter that basic logic. If anything, charging is even more important.

50 million barrels of oil (high end estimate)
$60 per barrel price (higher than it’d actually be)
We’re talking at most $3 billion in revenue, almost certainly less. How much has US military operations in and around Venezuela cost?
Corrupt, unconstitutional, and even on its own terms a bad deal.
