Disinformation rarely arrives as an obvious lie. It gets cleaned, repeated, and laundered through influencers until it feels like “common sense.” We need to track the pipeline, not just the final post. #DailyMindBrew #truthdecay

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.
And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.

This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Whether ice skating, skiing, or snowmobiling, winter recreation drives Wisconsin's local economies.
So, it was great to throw on my skates and visit the new Woodman's Sports and Convention Center in Janesville that my administration was proud to support with a $15 million grant.

So those new 25% tariffs Trump announced two days ago on every country that trades with Iran, any follow up on that? Did it actually happen? I didn’t see any specifics on the new tariffs on China, India, UAE, etc. Do any of his posts mean anything at this point or is it all bs?

Subpoenaing the Fed chair in the middle of a political fight over interest rates is not normal. It’s intimidation. Jerome Powell says he won’t bend—but this sets a dangerous precedent for the independence that keeps inflation in check.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against
