This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Where are the discussions about invoking the 25th Amendment? Where are the cabinet members and senators confronting this dangerous reality? Are these cowards and sycophants going to just stand by if and when he pursues war with Europe?
Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
