🚨NEW: Elon Musk has suspended U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar's Twitter account. This comes as the Trump Administration and its allies ratchet up attacks on Minnesota in the aftermath of the ICE Renee Good killing.

RETWEET if you stand with @AmyKlobuchar!

“The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock...”

🚨BREAKING: Governor Tim Walz just delivered a short but powerful prime-time address regarding ICE's cruel behavior over the last few days in Minnesota.

After highlighting the recent shooting of Renee Nicole Good by ICE and slamming the Trump administration for not conducting an impartial investigation, instead trying to "attack the victim and her family," he said, "Four things I want you to hear as you watch the news and look out for your neighbors."

1) Donald Trump "wants this chaos" and "more violence," urging Minnesotans to protest loudly and urgently, but peacefully: "We cannot let violence prevail."

2) We are not powerless. "You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct these activities. Carry a phone with you at all times; if you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record," asking to help create a database of the atrocities for "future prosecution."

3) Accountability is coming at the voting booth and in the court. "We will reclaim our communities from Donald Trump."

4) Walz emotionally expressed how proud but not surprised he is of how Minnesotans have responded, stating that they believe in the rule of law and the dignity of all people: "We are an island of decency and a country being driven towards cruelty; we will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, of peace."

TIM WALZ IS A NATIONAL TREASURE!!! 💙

BREAKING: Jerome Powell issues a DEFIANT message to Trump after his DOJ criminally indicted him. Powell rightly says that this is a politically motivated indictment because he refused to bend the knee to Trump. Retweet to stand with Chairman Powell!

Jasmine Crockett: “We’re living through the most corrupt presidential administration in American history. The fraud that Americans are concerned about is the Republicans are taking away American’s healthcare so that ultra-billionaires can get more tax cuts.”

Jeffries: Kristi Noem in complete and total disgrace. She should never have been confirmed. She lied to the American people, as she's been doing repeatedly, but in this instance, slandered a 37 year old American citizen whose life was taken without justification…

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

We approved a plaque to honor the officers who responded on January 6th. Speaker Johnson refuses to display it, so I have a replica outside of my office for people to visit. The Capitol Police kept us safe that day, as they do every day. They deserve to be recognized.

Today, many leaders will rightly condemn President Donald Trump’s unlawful and unjust actions in Venezuela, and I join them.

But just as glaring, and far more damning, is Congress’ ongoing abdication of its constitutional duty. For almost a year now, the legislative branch has failed to check a president who repeatedly violates his oath, disregards the law, and endangers American interests at home and abroad.

Time and again, Congress, now led by Republicans, has chosen spineless complicity over its sworn responsibilities. From the reckless leaking of classified information that put American troops at risk, to the illegal use of military force destroying vessels and killing people in the Caribbean and the Pacific without congressional authorization, there has been a stunning absence of accountability.

No hearings.
No serious investigations.
No enforcement of checks and balances.
No accountability.

Again and again, the president has exceeded his authority, defied congressional intent, trampled the separation of powers, and broken the law - while Congress looked away in cowardice and submission.

Republicans in Congress own this corrosive collapse of our constitutional order. With only a handful of honorable exceptions, they have bent themselves to the will of Donald Trump, afraid to state in public the feelings they often communicate privately. That submission, this abandonment of independent judgment and constitutional courage, now stands as one of the greatest dangers to our nation and to the global order America claims to defend.

Nicolás Maduro is a brutal dictator who has committed grave abuses. The United States military remains the most capable fighting force on Earth, and our praiseworthy service members carry out their orders with professionalism and excellence.

But none of that suspends the Constitution.

The Constitution is unambiguous: Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp, to the President. On this count, Congress has failed.

We face an authoritarian-minded president who acts with dangerous growing impunity. He has shown a willingness to defy court orders, violate the law, ignore congressional intent, and shred basic norms of decency and democracy. This pattern will continue unless the Article I branch of government, especially Republican congressional leadership, finds the courage to act.

They must stop behaving as partisan puppets and start acting as patriotic constitutional stewards.

What happened today is wrong. Congressional Republicans would say so immediately if a Democratic president had done the same. Their silence is surrender. And in that surrender lie the seeds of our democratic unraveling.

There are still three years left in this administration. From the pardoning of individuals who violently attacked police officers while attempting to overturn our election to this latest extrajudicial assault on another nation’s sovereignty, the damage will continue unless it is confronted.

Enough is enough.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Don’t forget about the Epstein files. Today is a major deadline and so far, the Trump regime has provided nothing. It’s a lot of crime to keep track of but we must stay focused.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ryan: This is clearly us starting another forever war—which the American people do not support.

It’s very clear this is not about drugs. Trump—in the press conference—was stunning in just straight up admitting this is a war for oil, and that he is willing to send our blood and treasure, our tax dollars, and our precious young men and women to “run Venezuela,” whatever the hell that means, with no plan.

20 years ago today, Barack Obama was sworn into the United States Senate as the chamber's only Black Senator, becoming just the 5th Black Senator in U.S. History.

RETWEET if you love President @BarackObama!

[Kamala Supporters @globalkhive]

In light of Maduro’s capture, it’s worth noting that Kamala Harris previously rejected military intervention in Venezuela, emphasizing democratic legitimacy and sanctions instead.

Overnight the U.S. President ordered the invasion of Venezuela and capture of its President. While Maduro clearly is a corrupt and illegitimate thug who oversaw the destabilization and suffering of millions, the fact remains that the U.S. President is acting on authority he does not have. This is what the U.S. Congress can and must do ⬇️
