Not helping someone who got stuck in snow or ice is the Minnesota equivalent of taking a shit on their car hood.
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

If you’re wondering the impact of community patrol, ICE just tried to take one of our residents on 23rd and Central and because so many community members responded, we stopped them and ICE left.

Biden was vastly better at the economy than Trump. 95% of all job creation since WWII happening under Dem admins - the pattern is still holding.
Manufacturing is effectively in a recession, losing jobs every month since April, for a total loss of 72,000 jobs.
Since April, essentially all private sector job gains have been in health care: health care added 306,000 jobs over that period, while the private sector overall added just 300,000.

Today's #JobsReport tells us the economy is decidedly weaker than a year ago:
-unemployment rate is 4.4%, up from 4.1% last Dec
-payroll employment up 50k; total gain this year only 585k compared to 2.0 million in 2024
-federal employment is down 277k since Jan, a loss of 9.2% federal jobs
