I’m a hard no on this “deal.”
I don’t take promises from Trump or Republicans in Congress anymore. I’m no fool.
My constituents deserve enforceable guarantees for their health care and our democracy.
Come back to me when you’re serious.
In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.

Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.
@PHeadedcook @ChiefTrumpster You don’t know the motive of the assassin. The suspect is still at large. And if she was the lone vote and this was the reason that she was shot, then why was fellow democrat John Hoffman shot?
@Frenchresister Blaming Democrats after Democratic lawmakers are assassinated is next level gaslighting and further inflames violence. Your statement makes it as if there was some kind of justification for the political violence.
MAGA on this platform blaming Democrats after the political assassination of Democratic lawmakers. MAGA’s reasoning…Democrats were planning a protest. Worst gaslighting ever.
