The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
Alex and tens of thousands of Minnesotans have boldly defended their neighbors against the murderous occupation of an American city by the federal government. I am enraged and heartbroken for Alex, his family, Minneapolis, and America.

THIS IS THE INSANITY YOU VOTED FOR!!
Let’s be clear…the Big Ugly bill is why your insurance premiums keep going up.
Marjorie Taylor Greene voted for it.
While the wealthy got permanent tax cuts, working families got higher bills and less coverage. Now that it’s become personal, folks’ eyes are starting to open.
But we weren’t sent to Congress to only care when it hits home — we were sent here to fight for every single constituent we represent.
I heard some old friends at @PodSaveAmerica were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.
Republicans have officially caused the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Folks aren’t getting paid, families are wondering if they'll have food on the table — and now they’re closing off airspace right before the holidays. Yet they’ve got the audacity to pat themselves on the back like this is a game.
This isn’t governing — it’s reckless, it’s cruel, and it’s a damn disgrace.
Do your jobs. Or get the hell out of the way so people who actually care about Americans can.
Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
You may not agree, but his shutdown really shows how the entire GOP under Trump is totally unable to negotiate, can’t govern, can’t lead, and can’t put the American people before their own egos. They’re all being controlled by a convicted felon.
The thing that MAGA hillbillies hate most about Barack Obama is that he's smarter, more educated, and far more successful than they'll ever be, and he's black.
USDA has the authority to fully fund SNAP and needs to do so immediately. Anything else is unacceptable.
Trump’s "decision" to follow the court order and only send partial SNAP benefits to 42 million hungry Americans as Thanksgiving approaches is cruel and callous.
Trump should focus less on his ballroom and his bathroom and more on the American people.
I'm not on food stamps. I don't get Medicaid. I rely on no Social Safety nets. But I still believe in fully funding these programs. Why?
Because I'm not a selfish garbage person.
It’s almost Election Day, and there are so many important state and local races on the ballot.
Whether it’s governors, mayors, or school boards, the leaders we choose will make decisions that affect our daily lives for years to come. That means no matter who’s in charge in Washington, we can still make progress on health care, affordability, gerrymandering, reproductive freedom, gun safety, climate, and so many of the issues that matter to us.
TRUMP: Obamacare is terrible; it's bad healthcare.
O'DONNELL: But Mr. President, with all due respect, you've been talking about fixing the healthcare insurance plan since 2015.
TRUMP: Sure. And you can't do it because of the Democrats.
O'DONNELL: Since 2015, you've said you'd fix it.
TRUMP: We can make it much less expensive for people and give them much better healthcare.
O'DONNELL: But where's that plan? Where's that plan?
This Trump 60 Minutes interview has been a total disaster. He can’t answer questions on his blatant corruption, he sounds clueless on foreign policy, and he continues to defend his tariffs which are hurting Americans. Trump is a complete failure.
Donald Trump is historically unpopular for a reason.
He has betrayed the American people.
Beef is up.
Coffee is up.
Car prices are up.
Utility bills are up.
And healthcare is about to triple.
He’s done nothing but make Americans poorer and sicker.
