People are pissed this morning because we exposed Peter Thiel. We’re under constant attack, but that’s expected. The greatest threat to the Trump administration is an informed public. That’s why they rely on secrecy and distraction. But we won’t look away.

Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice. I cannot ignore what Trump is doing to our democracy and our country. Or more precisely, I will not. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

Don't spend one minute feeling sorry for the law firms that capitulated. They prioritized their own profits over the rule of law, decency and democracy. They deserve the ridicule and scorn they are now receiving. History will remember them for the cowards they are.

Some people get upset when we ask for an email to read our free articles or put reporting behind a paywall. “Why can’t it just be free?” they ask. But producing original journalism costs real time and real money. It’s not a hobby. It’s a business.

Last year, we became the first state to build and open three veterans homes simultaneously. I just signed a bill that fully funds the staffing and operations of these homes well into the future. I’m proud of Minnesota’s enduring commitment to better serve those who served us.

🚨 While working families are told there’s no $$$ for Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP, or schools, Trump is spending nearly $100 million in taxpayer funds on a military parade to celebrate himself on June 14. That’s why on June 14, we’re rising up to say NO KINGS. Find or join a protest: NoKings.org

I say this a lot, but for many, many people, their views on immigration enforcement boil down to "I want to kick out the bad ones and keep the good ones," and they haven't thought about the specifics much beyond that.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

While the practice is by no means new under Trump, the public are now seeing a lot more how ICE routinely disregards the law on warrantless arrests, which may only be done if the officer has "reason to believe that the person is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained."

It’s extra important for GOP senators to hear from their constituents right now. While Republicans try to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts, tell your senators to reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve. 👇

The Republican budget bill would block states from regulating AI, including the AI that landlords are using to collude to set higher rental prices. We should be making housing affordable, not tying the hands of states working to ban unfair practices. www.theverge.com/news/676378/...

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

Increasingly clear that these ICE arrest operations are gearing up not because of the actual immigrants, who in all but a tiny handful of cases go along quietly, but because they’re getting so much pushback from onlookers. It’s a vicious cycle; the more they do this, the worst the pushback gets.
