LATEST: As a massive manhunt for Vance Boelter continues, authorities are piecing together a profile of the alleged gunman accused of killing a Democratic Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another.

State Rep. Melissa Hortman, 55, was fatally shot in her home. She was a lawyer and Democrat who spent 20 years in the Minnesota House of Representatives, which she led as speaker for six years.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

Shame on TX and this administration! 😡

Andry left Venezuela for the US, dreaming of a career in cosmetics. Instead, he was mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison, where he still languishes.

Last time Trump called for remigration (a form of ethnic cleansing), national media outlets absolutely failed to cover it. They NEED to do a better job explaining it this time. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?

RIP 🙏🏼💐

Go through congress and do it! Make it law!

Don't forget to call and write your congress critter today about the bonkers big beautiful bill. If you know they don't care about gutting Medicaid, then hammer them on the deficit. Remind them killing the tax cuts for billionaires is the only way to avoid bankrupting the country. #NoGOPTaxScam

Indiana Governor Mike Braun, and his ‘Christian pastor’ Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith, just opted out of a federal program that would feed 700,000 children over the summer. It’s important to note Mike just had a helipad installed at his private residence on the taxpayers dime.

So much for trumpian diplomacy.

Netanyahu, ignoring international pressure and dissenting voices within Israel, continues his genocide. By sacrificing innocent lives, he attempts to evade accountability. Humanity cannot remain silent in the face of this tragedy.

Outstanding that Booker, Smith, and Schatz are taking a stand and thinking outside the box. More please!

The disastrous Republican reconciliation bill would cut Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act by $715 billion – throwing 13.7 million Americans off of Medicaid & the health insurance they currently have – in order to give a $1.2 trillion tax break to the top 1%. It must be defeated.

While a surprising # of Democrats I talk to are unaware of it, in 2024 the DOJ stated that over 600 Russian assets were in the U.S., with some of them being members of Congress. I wasn’t unaware, and I’m still pissed that the story ended there. Here’s a prosecutor from the DOJ in Nov 2024.
