The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Trump’s birthday parade is backfiring spectacularly. 64% of Americans, including 72% of independents, disapprove of Trump’s parade. NBC NEWS POLL: Americans disapprove of spending public funds to put on military parade in Washington www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

A DHS official told me Noem & security had no idea who Senator Padilla was. Now, the FBI is running with the statement that the senator "did not identify himself and was not wearing his senate security pin" — but he very much did identify himself, loudly, on video...

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Americans know scapegoating when we see it. Authoritarians target, vilify and demonize small minority groups to whip up negative emotions and mask their own programs. It's up to the people to reject sinister efforts to dehumanize and stigmatize transgender Americans.

Hegseth deployed troops to Southern California without funding for food, water, fuel, or equipment. Marines are trained for military combat – not law enforcement. Trump must rescind his orders, Hegseth must resign, & law enforcement should be handled by state/local authorities.
