happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Remember when he was looking at types of poop on his daytime TV show? This is like that, but as policy.
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

a thing that puts the lie to everything every texas republican has ever said about the alleged wave of immigrants they’re so afraid of is that the trump administration is very regularly just dumping people in texas if they can’t deport them and no texas republican has said a word about it
From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota.
I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

If MAGA's favorite demon, George Soros, paid people to protest, it would be easy to find evidence and show it. If he promised to pay people and didn't, that would be a crime, and MAGA would be thrilled to charge him.
Instead, it's just another shameless lie to keep conning the cult.

If I'm understanding his argument it's not fair to single out the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES for being a sexual predator when his good friend also hung out with lots of other sexual predators?
Blanche: "I don't appreciate it being directed towards Donald J Trump, because that pushes a narrative that is completely false. There are all kinds of people that are mentioned in the 'Epstein files' that we had to look at and run down."

One month in, and it feels like I've already sewn a year's worth of news. But it helps me make sense of it all, so I think I can manage 11 more.

Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.
ICYMI: This Saturday, progressive Taylor Rehmet squares off against a billionaire-funded Christian nationalist for a +17 Trump state senate seat in Tarrant County, a hub of the far right. Rehmet already over-performed, and is confident he’s on the verge of a stunning upset in a bellwether county.
