All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

Enough Dems have made the funding bill dead in the water. Now we need Noem impeached and ICE dismantled.
Are there any folks outside Mike Johnson’s house?

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

I agree with Ted and look forward to actively participating.
EXCLUSIVE: In secret recordings, Sen. Ted Cruz trashes Trump, Vance
"You're going to lose the House, you're going to lose the Senate, you're going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week."

"Our agents can kill people on weekends, but you can't serve us 'til Monday."
Update: In the evidence preservation lawsuit, the current Civil Chief at the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office (who appears to be Ana Voss, based on the letter), refused to accept email service of the lawsuit last night and then refused to accept in-person service until Monday.
Ridiculous behavior.

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

Christi Noem should testify under oath in Congress and explain why she lied about the facts around the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

From NYT frame-by-frame analysis. They fired 6 more rounds after these initial shots.

If Trump is willing to remove ICE from Minnesota if they hand over their voter rolls, then there really isn't an "emergency" need for them to be there. www.cbsnews.com/news/bondi-m...
Bondi seeks Minnesota voter rolls, welfare data to "help bring back law and order" in wake of shootings
Attorney General Pam Bondi is pushing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to let the federal government access state voter rolls and welfare data, as tensions flare in Minneapolis after a man was shot and killed ...

“We should also call what happened to Alex Pretti an execution because, as we learned in the hours that followed, the monstrous Trump regime essentially sanctioned this killing in the rush to exonerate the perpetrators and blame the victim.”

The Trump Administration hates the Second Amendment. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Bessent: I'm sorry he is dead, but he did bring a semiautomatic weapon to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.
Karl: There's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever
Bessent: But he brought a gun!
Karl: We do have a second amendment in this country.

This week brought a stunning revelation about the Trump administration co-ordinating with election deniers to put voters’ personal data at risk. And Democracy Docket played a key role in pushing the story forward.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?
Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

A federal judge effectively ordered the U.S. government not to cover up evidence that it illegally executed a civilian, at the request of local prosecutors seeking to investigate federal agents for murder.
Don’t want to overstate things but it feels reminiscent of the run-up to the Civil War.

Understand that 370 days ago even bringing a motion like this would probably have been treated as sanctionably frivolous

Bovino, as required for a Trump Administration job, is a shameless liar. What’s scarier than that is perhaps 25 to 35% of the nation are totalitarian-souled bootlickers eager to believe him. How do you make a nation out of people like that?
BOVINO: He was in the scene actively impeding and assaulting law enforceme--
BASH: But he wasn't impeding. He was filming, which is a legal thing to do in the United States
BOVINO: Dana, let's not free frame adjudicate this now

Dana Bash grills Bovino to provide any evidence that Alex Pretti "assaulted law enforcement" and Bovino has absolutely nothing
January 25, 2026 at 3:19 PM
Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

Journalists need to ask, “What made Pettri a ‘suspect’?” He was ‘seized’ under the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, which requires *probable cause that he was committing a crime*
MAKE THEM ARTICULATE THE BASIS FOR THE SEIZURE
MAKE THEM ARTICULATE THE BASIS FOR THE SEIZURE
BASH: Where did he assault an officer? It looked to us that he was approached by them when he was helping another individual who was pushed down
BOVINO: We don't need a suspect's help in a law enforcement scene
BASH: So when somebody is pushed down, you stand back?
BOVINO: Follow directions

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."
January 25, 2026 at 3:18 PM
Murphy: "It's always been the fear & now is closer to the reality that the Trump admin is creating this mayhem, particularly in cities in swing states, to take control of elections. They're trying to trade the presence of ICE & the murder & mayhem they are causing for control of MN's elections"

Post from Mac Randolph
RIP Alex Pretti,
He was my Dad’s ICU nurse. He read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video, but his speech is very on point.
