I’m Alex Vindman and I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Chaos, corruption and sky-rocketing costs are crushing ordinary people, while the billionaires and career politicians profit.

I stepped up when my country needed a soldier and now I’m stepping up again to fight for Floridians.

I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!

GOP Minnesota Gov. Candidate Chris Madel has dropped out of the race and said ICE was part of his decision:  “I cannot support the national Republican stated retribution on the citizens of our state. Nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.”

An email to USDA staffers in November directed them to stop all research with scientists who come from “countries of concern” and to reject papers with foreign authors if they deal with “sensitive subjects” like “diversity” or “climate change.”

There's a clear path forward:
1. Quickly pass the other 5 spending bills before the Friday night deadline & keep government open.
 
2. Separate out the DHS bill & work on common sense steps to rein in ICE and CBP.
 
Senate Democrats are ready to get it done. Republicans must join us.

I can't imagine why the Greenlanders aren't lining up to be part of this amazing Republic we've got here.
Note that Karoline Leavitt refuses to answer when asked if Trump backs Miller calling Pretti a "domestic terrorist."

It's now clear Vance miscalculated badly by rushing out to smear the victims and declare ICE has total immunity. This is getting away from them.

Such a waste. The Post was hiring so aggressively for five or ten years that they had one of the very best stables of journalists in the country. Now hollowed out and about to get slashed completely

Bovino being run out of town is the biggest L for Nazis since the Battle of Berlin

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Absolutley heartbreaking that parents of a man gunned down by federal agents have to put out a statement because the president and his cowardly minions are defaming their son. We’re way past sick.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.
