Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.
But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

There is no legal architecture that allows Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to remake the entire federal government without running afoul of criminal conflict of interest laws.
In other words, there's no way that his role is legal, constitutional, or compatible with democratic governance.
