There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

A federal judge said the IRS broke the law by disclosing confidential taxpayer information ''approximately 42,695 times" to ICE.
The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.
*in Meryl Streep voice* NOW open for public comment?!

I sure hope so…
Today, Donald Trump and his administration are once again trampling on our rights and our freedoms. Journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were fulfilling their duty to the American people to report and inform, and they have been arrested for it.
previously:
-DOJ sought Lemon's arrest along with a group of others
-Magistrate judge rejected the charges against Lemon on the grounds that there was no probable cause
-DOJ tried to appeal the magistrate judge's ruling to the district judge (extremely unusual)

Not only is he right, but we also need to have a conversation about reading comprehension, how analogies work & what “comparing” means.
“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.”
Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.
Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show." Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us." Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms. Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room. "I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

A man tried to confront @repilhan at a speech. He was taken out after walking towards her and spraying something at her.
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
I don't know how many times we will be told by the legacy media that Trump is moderating or backing off only to then see he is worse than ever. He is an authoritarian. He enjoys the cruelty. And the first thing he had Pam Bondi do after the shooting was to try to leverage it to get the voter files.
-Bovino will leave MN and may lose his job
-Noem will face a Senate hearing and possible impeachment
-Senate Dems will oppose unconditional extension of DHS funding
The pushback is working.
We must keep standing up and speaking out against Trump's regime.
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon said Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recent letter to Minnesota reinforced unease about how the Justice Department is wielding its authority in its nationwide push for state voter rolls, suggesting the administration’s campaign may be driven by improper motives.

Somebody gift this man a great cup of coffee.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
We the people demand an end to ICE's relentless attacks on Minneapolis communities.
I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.
WOW.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
