Heart is heavy this morning because my friend and colleague, Minnesota State Representative and former Speaker Melissa Hortman was killed this morning along with her husband! Political violence is completely unacceptable! ❤️🙏🏾😔

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

Apparently. His Defense Dept, DOJ, and FBI are all staffed with corrupt and compromised persons.

US citizen driving to work stopped by ICE agents, pulled out of his car, handcuffed and searched

SHE'S A BITCH! 🤬

Within minutes of the attack on Jewish demonstrators in Boulder the FBI and HLS declared it a terrorist attack and rolled in. It's been 8 hours since the targeted assassinations of Democratic legislators in MN and Bongino says they're "assisting local partners." Silence from Trump. We see you.

A political assassination just happened on American soil. Be angry. Grieve. But don’t get distracted. The real fight is at the ballot box — not just in the streets. Read why winning first is the only path to real change. #NoKings #VoteToWin #Minnesota www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Hahaha no one’s showing up to president taco’s big dumb military themed birthday party.

Way to go Wilmington NC ! #NoKings 🚫👑

Love this!!!!

I will provide an update on last night’s targeted shootings shortly: youtube.com/live/VHtHNAb...

I am horrified by news of the targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers and their families this morning. We must denounce political violence in all its forms. My prayers are with the victims and the people of Minnesota following this horrific tragedy.

Over on Xitter, Kristi Noem is promising to help in MN. 10 days ago, ProPublica reported on the 22-yo Heritage flunky she put in charge of preventing hate-fueled attacks. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Biden's farewell speech to the military: "Let me close with a final request. I say it not as your president or commander in chief. I say it as a man who spent 50 years of his life serving his country in a different way. Remember your oath."

New in PN: The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings" "Musk's staggering wealth allowed him to shepherd a chosen candidate into office, install himself atop the government informally, and systematically destroy it from within. That’s not what America is supposed to be."

Well played, sir. #NoKingsDay

The assassin posed as law enforcement. As we can no longer tell the difference between civilians and law enforcement thanks to the ICE, I would expect the reforms to start regarding officers having to stop hiding their faces and clearly identify themselves. That won't happen but one can dream.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

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.

"Yeah, get him. Take him. Go ahead, take him,” said one masked thug to another masked thug.

The fascists are on the move. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

@padilla.senate.gov I’ve been very impressed by how you stood up, how you handled yourself under duress, and how articulate your interview responses. Respect.

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.

Holy shit

Just another fat fuck who thinks he has the power to murder in the name of God and Republicans. Chances are damn good that we'll be reading about his arrest for pedophilia soon.

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."
