Anger is currency here. We are as deeply a divided place as I've ever been. Hatred is sport. Rage is a daily event. Relationships mean nothing to people from "different sides." Politicians use all of this to accrue power.
It's the perfect breeding ground for evil.
We dig on Minneapolis quite a bit when it comes to crime.
But it's not because we don't love the city. We mourn the loss of what it once was.
Our entire state deserves a Minneapolis that every resident can comfortably visit without fear. And the city's residents deserve peace.
Official Statement on the U.S. Counterterrorism Operation in Northern Somalia
President @HassanSMohamud was briefed this evening on a U.S. kinetic strike targeting senior ISIS leadership in Puntland state of Somalia. The Federal Government of Somalia expresses its deep appreciation for the unwavering counterterrorism partnership of the United States in eliminating threats that seek to destabilize our nation and the region.
This operation represents a critical step in our shared fight against terrorism, directly degrading ISIS’s leadership and operational capacity. By removing key figures from the battlefield, Somalia and the United States reaffirm their commitment to ensuring security and stability, preventing extremist networks from gaining ground, and protecting innocent lives.
The Federal Government of Somalia welcomes the firm and decisive counterterrorism efforts led by the United States and remains resolute in its commitment to working closely with international partners to eliminate terrorist threats. Together, we will continue to dismantle extremist networks, reinforce security operations, and build a future free from the scourge of terrorism.
The United States is our invaluable partner in the security of our nation and we look forward to further collaboration on regional peace and security matters.
@Pundit_Murcood @SebGorka The situation in Bari is dire rn, I was on the phone with my uncles in Puntland Parliment last night. We are working tirelessly to bring attention and resource to the operation Mountain Thunder.
Met @SebGorka , the new NSC Counterterrorism Chief, at the Liberty Ball. Somali Federal Forces and Puntland Forces are currently battling Daesh and ISIS in the north and south of Somalia. My position is clear: we must support the fight to utterly annihilate them. No quarter given! 🇺🇸💪
Asc @somalianalyst, it is quite evident that Puntland is the only administration fighting Daesh and ISIS in the north. Apologies if the syntax wasn’t to your liking. Also if it makes you feel any better, I was on the phone last night with Leadership from Puntland Parliment. Let’s not jump to conclusions and use language like that. We all need to work together.
Thank you, Ambassador Hassan, for the opportunity to discuss these critical issues. Strengthening ties through collaboration on mutual interests is essential. I look forward to continuing our productive dialogue and deepening our nations' alliance.🤝
I had the pleasure of meeting @AbshirMSP to discuss shared 🇸🇴 & 🇺🇸 interests, including counterterrorism, economic cooperation, and regional security. I look forward to continuing our dialogue to strengthen these ties. @SomaliainUSA

To whomever did this to my synagogue in Mpls this morning, you will be pursued, you will be arrested, and I hope you spend the full 5 years behind bars - albeit it in a prison that will seem like a Ritz Carlton compared to the Nazi concentration camp you deserve.
I allow our hosts on TYT to say whatever they want. I don't ever tell them they have to have the same opinions as me. But some on the extreme left say that's not good enough - that I should be forced to have the same opinions as them. And they don't realize how funny that sounds.
Yet another sign of her pathetic dishonesty. Emma was employed by TYT when the company announced recognition of the union. These cheap shots to make herself look like a class warrior crack me up. Especially when she advocates that we all shut up and take when someone assaults us on public transportation. Not wanting to get punched in the face is a “bougie” concern, after all.
Thank you to the United Hmong Family Inc. for inviting members of the @mngop and allowing us to address the thousands in attendance at the 44th #hmongnewyear event last Saturday
I had to bounce after the ceremony, but @AbshirMSP held it down 🫡🇺🇲
