Horrified by the sickening act of political violence in Minnesota. I pray for the family of Melissa Hortman and her husband, who were murdered in cold blood, and for the recovery of John Hoffman and his wife. The killer must be held accountable. This has no place in America.

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...

This is the slap back to Stephen Miller’s “arrest everyone” madness. And an admission that Trump is under pressure from multiple industries that rely on migrant workers. This is huge and important. Keep amplifying the harm done by the Trump/Miller zealous, cruel overreach. Don’t bury this.

Update: Mahmoud Khalil will stay behind bars for now, since the government now claims they’re holding him for lying on his residency application. Although the judge said that justification “does not work,” it’s not technically precluded by his preliminary injunction, he writes.

"Convincing a jury of 12 NJ citizens, most likely the congresswoman’s own constituents, that she assaulted an ICE officer and made him fear for his safety beyond a reasonable doubt, is another matter. McIver will also have a powerful defense in the Speech or Debate Clause." — @lizdye.bsky.social

What I am hearing a lot of senators saying is that if you can do this to a United States senator, you can do it to any American. But they are doing it to the other Americans: the Americans whose elected representatives those senators are.

They're not getting the Latino vote next time. If people know about this, and if the votes are counted, the regime is toast. They know this. So expect elections in California and probably elsewhere to be prevented from taking their normal course.

Putting their bodies on the line is pretty much all Dems can do, given minorities in the Congress, but it's powerful insofar as they're seen as the legitimate representatives of the people. These are YOUR representatives they're grabbing & shoving! These are YOUR representatives they're silencing!

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"
