Video contradicts Trump’s claim man killed in Minneapolis was a ‘gunman’ Video evidence reviewed by Guardian shows Alex Pretti, killed by agents in Minneapolis, held a phone, not a gun Video recorded by witnesses to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday shows that the 37-year-old registered nurse was holding a phone, not a gun, when he was tackled and shot, directly contradicting the claims of senior Trump administration officials that he threatened to “massacre” officers. In the aftermath of the killing, which was recorded by multiple witnesses, the Department of Homeland Security released an image of a handgun, which Donald Trump referred to as “the gunman’s gun” in a social media post. Kristi Noem, the DHS secretary, said at a briefing that Pretti had “approached US border patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun”, though she later declined to say whether or not Pretti pulled the gun out.

Video contradicts Trump’s claim man killed in Minneapolis was a ‘gunman’

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

They weren’t administering CPR. They’re searching his dead body for a gun that isn’t there because a goon had quietly snuck off with it before the first shot was even fired.

Holy shit. This speaks volumes about the midterms ahead.

This is Alex Pretti.

Exactly.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Donald Trump has been a Russian asset since his first trip to Moscow in 1987.
Freeze Trump out immediately.
Trump is the enemy.

Donald hates it when they take a picture of him from that angle.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Mainers defeat Republican effort to institute voter ID and limit absentee voting The no side of Question 1 had 60.2% of votes to 39.8% for the yes side when the Bangor Daily News and its national partner, Decision Desk HQ, called the race at 9:26 p.m. Tuesday.

Maine has voted in a landslide to reject a Republican-supported ballot initiative that would have restricted voting access heading into the critical 2026 midterms

Shame on every single one of them!

Seriously, Dems should make an ad out of that clip. Several ads, really.

Show people really being hurt by his policies and then that clip. Show grocery store prices folks can't pay, or people losing their insurance and then Karoline saying, "The ballroom is really the president's main priority."

Such a relief to learn he's focusing on the important stuff that will really help the country.🙄

Well, well, well...

Really have to love how the right keeps trying to paint us as violent when we’re out here in frog suits standing up against a fascist takeover. We’re not fueled by hate, we’re fueled by facts, data, and a genuine desire to protect our country.

It’s embarrassing that an American President posted this, but it’s extremely satisfying knowing he’s so bothered…

Nothing says “love of country” like hating half the people who live in it.

‘King’ Trump, 79, Dumps on Protesters in Bonkers AI Video The president is leaning into the monarchical moniker.

So he is known for pooping himself and he posts this? Subtexting himself or one of his social staff is trolling him brutally www.thedailybeast.com//king-trump-...

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

They constantly let America down

Are you f-ing kidding me?

Mike Fanone: "I'll say this to Mike Johnson: I love this country. I don't hate this country. I hate your vision for this country. I hate this administration's vision for this country. And I will fight your vision for this country until my dying breath."

I get beside myself angry when I think about how a presidential candidate repeatedly fucking said he’d be a dictator and the press response was ha ha that rascal I’m sure he probably doesn’t mean it

Apple pulls US immigration official tracking apps The creator of ICEBlock accuses the tech giant of "capitulating to an authoritarian regime" by removing his app.
