I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning. This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The news about this morning's shootings in Minnesota has me on edge about right-wing violence. Whether you are protesting or just a lefty going about your lefty business (mutual aid, organizing, etc), be alert, know who you're dealing with, and know how you would exit any place that feels unsafe.

This is the latest on the shootings in Minnesota of two lawmakers and their spouses. The Governor just spoke and the news is absolutely heartbreaking that Rep. Hortman and her husband are dead and Sen. Hoffman and his wife are fighting for their lives. Shooter is at large and had a manifesto.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific. Violence like this has no place in a democracy. I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

MN Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, as well as their spouses, were shot by a man impersonating a police officer. No more masks for law enforcement, ICE, anyone. We need to see faces, badges, and judicial warrants EVERY TIME No more unmarked vehicles. www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

Shapiro: " If the Guard is going to be federalized. we have a legal process in place where POTUS has to consult with the Commander in Chief of the Guard — the governor — and seek his or her approval first. POTUS did not do that [in CA]. He went around the governor and created some real dangers."

Things could get very ugly very quickly. And folks like Senator Cassidy, who allowed this to happen, have a unique responsibility to try and stop it—if that’s even possible at this juncture.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Think of ICE as one of those crooked Florida police departments in small towns that pulls over thousands of drivers on I-95 for any reason to meet quotas for tickets. Stephen Miller has given ICE quotas for arrests and they will meet those quotas whether the arrestees deserve it or not.
