This is the energy I was looking for in this hearing. This might be the greatest clip of a Senate hearing in history. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Pam Bondi slammed as DOJ accused of tracking lawmakers who view Epstein files Pam Bondi was spotted with a document which seemingly showed one Democrat’s Epstein files search history

Reminder: In 2016, the GOP went BALLISTIC when Bill Clinton met the AG at SkyHarbor airport for 5 minutes, insisting the AG MUST BE an independent authority.

Bondi is currently acting as Trump's personal attorney. She's spying on Congress FOR TRUMP. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

MNsure: Health plan enrollment down 8% after expiration of ACA tax credits New data following the end of open enrollment found an 87% increase in enrollees switching to cheaper plans.

Trump & his Republican majorities cut healthcare funding to 3x the ICE budget. So MN may no longer be able to afford healthcare, but we have seen a sharp increase in the number of masked Texans running wild in our neighborhoods with a license to kill.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Minnesota Wild in Minneapolis tonight. The players have been recommended to stay in/eat at the hotel, take the team bus to the arena, and carry passports.

Perhaps we shouldn't be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics...

I utterly hate the military cosplay here, but applaud the Herculean effort it took to get gear in American Girl Doll sizes.

I walked up behind him wearing all black tight fitting clothes, they started yelling, β€œlook our for that bear!” I replied, β€œHi, I’m not a bear!”

To which the reply came, β€œoh my God, a talking bear!”

An all timer.

Early season bikepacking. The weather was gorgeous, the bikepackers were ill prepared.

Though that trip did produce the group of 20-somethings in a canoe that thought I was a bear, then screamed when I said hello from a distance and they thought I was a talking bear.

Walz: "We have learned that the Trump administration has now denied the state that ability to participate in the investigation. I want to make this as clear as possible: Minnesota must be part of this investigation ... it feels very very difficult that we will get a fair outcome."

Nearly 6 years and it seems the same community finds itself once again the nucleus of a great pushback by the people. Those of us in the neighboring neighborhoods will be hearing the helicopters and stepping up. We won’t accept this quietly.

Walz: "To Minnesotans, don't take the bait. Do not take the bait. Do not allow them to deploy federal troops into here. Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act. Do not allow them to declare martial law. Do not allow them to lie about the security and decency of this state."

Small but lively crowds at Snelling and Selby. Lots of supportive honks.

THIS is who #Minnesota should be. Thankful for people like this. Scared for what will happen when eventually ICE will shoot people like this, because that is what this is escalating to. #Minneapolis

Of the 80,000 Somalis who live in the twin cities, only 4000 are non-citizens. And the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of those 4000 non-citizens are NOT undocumentedβ€”they are here legally.

There is no immigration issue to enforce here.

I know racists don't care about this, but these facts do matter
