I can’t even watch the video of his murder anymore. Alex Pretti is a martyr. May his memory far outlive the length of his time on this Earth.
"The sweetest person you can imagine."
That's how a veteran patient described Alex Pretti - the man we all saw federal agents murder in broad daylight.
Trump's VA Secretary initially responded by blaming that horrific killing on Minnesota officials. VA workers deserve better.

And here’s our anthem folks.
“Streets of Minneapolis” just released by Bruce Springsteen. (Official Audio)
"We'll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis"
Proving, once again, why he's still The Boss.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.

I’m so glad she’s OK.
While speaking to constituents in her district at a town hall meeting, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) was attacked by a man who sprayed a liquid while lunging at her before being detained.
Omar is fine and continued the meeting, like a badass.

Republicans are talking about the SAVE Act as if it's some common-sense election integrity measure, but they couldn't be more wrong.
It would eliminate mail registration and disrupt online registration, promote voter purges, and lead to imprisoned election workers.

The House GOP point person for election issues asked ten states how their voter registration systems verify citizenship.
The demands come as Republicans draft "an even stronger" version of the SAVE Act, which already sought to mandate proof of citizenship for voter registration.
