Jasmine Crockett: “Most of us already know who Trump is — we already know there are no bounds to how low he’s willing to go. We know that he has no moral compass. We know that he is a disgrace — when will Republicans in Congress condemn his behavior — your silence is complicity & it is very loud”

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

So…DHS’s OWN INVESTIGATION shows that Nurse Pretti WAS NOT “brandishing” anything but his cellphone! DHS’s own Report indicates that Pretti was EXECUTED in the street for “resisting arrest.” 😡🤬Funny….resisting arrest didn’t used to be a Death Penalty crime.

Homan said ICE is going to stay until "the problem's gone," which means they're never leaving because they are the problem. Just more propaganda trying to make the criminal regime appear "legit" and make it look like they're not the problem.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

This campaign is born out of one of the most difficult times for our state. But in those hard moments, Minnesota doesn’t look away or give up — we stand up and get involved.

Note: This post said "WE" have to do this. Not, "Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries" have to.

You are part of the "we" here.
One thing we have two weeks to do: Debunk Stephen Miller's lies that the invasions have ever been primarily about deporting the worst of the worst.

Another thing: Show that w/GOP consent, Trump has SHIFTED govt spending from nice things like VA care (&cancer cures) to pay goons who shoot VA nurses.
