Rep. Joyce Beatty on her Kennedy Center call with President Trump today: "I think it would be unthinkable for someone to hear a president using the language that he used. He threw a tantrum. It was like an immature child. I wouldn't even want to put this on a child."

[👮‍♂️🚒 Tales of Badge & Blaze™ @ScottEnlow]

👮‍♂️St. Louis Park, MN — May 2020

First Amendment auditor “Rowdy” (Rowdy Podcast) filmed the exterior of the St. Louis Park Police Department from public sidewalks.

After ~15 minutes, Officer Todd Hines (badge #200) and another officer approached, detained him, and demanded ID.

Hines said recording the building and officers leaving created a “security issue,” told him he should ID himself “if you have nothing to hide,” and claimed refusal was obstructing.

The auditor asked what crime he was suspected of, noted public recording is protected, and requested a supervisor.

A sergeant arrived, the stop ended, and the auditor was released without providing ID.

No arrest or citation.

Hines, a longtime SLP officer, retired about a year later.

❓What makes police think someone recording in public is a security risk?

❓What occurs outside their station that they don't want to have recorded?

❓If the officer had gotten the auditor's name and DOB, would he have done anything other than check for warrants then un-detain him?

❓ How would that have eased his security concern?

Rep. Al Green grills Bessent on Trump's memecoin 👇

GREEN: How do you justify legalizing these Ponzi schemes?

BESSENT: I'm unfamiliar with this. I don't think it meets the criteria for a Ponzi scheme.

Here's why you can blame the government for your high interest rates. They're running deficits at war and recession levels, even with unemployment low. All that government borrowing puts upward pressure on interest rates, making loans more expensive for the rest of us. https://t.co/WQ666ifWkT

This is so pathetic by the Republicans, deserves being made famous. Maybe Dems should go to the floor, try to loudly object to adjournment, say they're staying there and are willing to work, maybe make the Sergeant at Arms escort them out. Cause a ruckus.

Always irks me when I hear defenders of the @POTUS argue that suggesting the war in Iran is a quagmire denegrates the military, when they actually are hiding behind the military.
The military has done everything they were asked.
No, this has been a failure of the civilian leadership that embarked on a war without clear objectives or an understanding of the adversary.

@JeffStenbom @SenAlexPadilla Maybe didn’t reach level of collusion, but quite a few arrests. Trump Tower Meeting, Flynn telling Russians not to worry about sanctions Trump would fix; troll farms; Papadopolus & Putin’s niece (he thought); Manafort selling all sorts
Campaign data.

@GudTroubl2 @SenAlexPadilla Yes info on voter rolls is public. It’s voting that is kept secretive. Our votes, who we vote for, is, is not public in any way & Fed gov. has no right to this information, as Trump’s administration has tried to grab it and been slapped down. This not within power of Executive.

[Debbie @RechecktoCheck]

@henrybsjr @SenAlexPadilla Guess haven’t heard how Trump has directed 1,000’s of DHS personnel to verify voter by using various data bases with a mandated daily goal which means things being rushed and legal voters getting caught up. Keep checking your states voter site.

[Debbie @RechecktoCheck]

@Deepthinker198 @SenAlexPadilla Republican’s all mighty leader is the King of misinformation. And has his own social platform, which btw not doing very well. Losses again last years . Now trading at $6-$7 after opening price of $58.

[Debbie @RechecktoCheck]

@DIPGparent @SenAlexPadilla Right, Republicans don’t do any such thing. Hmmm, Hillary October surprise. The Hunter Biden laptop??
Trying to prove that Hunter made millions off his Father’s position. Hardly, try $20M and most from Burisima Board position. Now do Kushner $2B and growing, or the Trump boys.

[Debbie @RechecktoCheck]

@SenAlexPadilla California, by far, largest state in nation. Reminder, duplicate registrations could be result of moving in state to new polling station & not notifying . If go to new polling station without re- registering, not able to vote, as not on their rolls & would have to
reconcile.

[Debbie @RechecktoCheck]

@MammaG4 @SenAlexPadilla Exactly how many illegals vote? To date, the number is minuscule. Trump tried like hell to find illegal voting in 2020 - nothing. The illegal would have had to register and that requires documentation. Illegals don’t want to risk getting caught & would immediate deportation.

@SenAlexPadilla If person not registered at a new polling station, must go back to original polling . Mail-In ballots also have such a mechanism. And to top it off, once all votes aggregated, the next process by states is to look for duplicates or other suspicious items.

[Debbie @RechecktoCheck]

@SenAlexPadilla So getting info from a US gov site so reliable. Even if there is a duplicate registration doesn’t mean there was a duplicate vote.
For instance, many people move from one place to another in same state. They register for new polling location and then moved off old roll.

[Debbie @RechecktoCheck]

@DIPGparent @SenAlexPadilla Not coincidence, they are “popping up” in response to latest DHS actions. thousands of DHS employees assigned to task with daily quotas giving them just minutes to review data from databases , not just voting rolls & PROBLEM is they are purging a lot of legit voters. Illegal .

[Debbie @RechecktoCheck]

@SenAlexPadilla Think some missing the point - there’s public data that Feds can access, then there is private data that belongs to states & their residents, especially voting. Constitution cedes all power regarding votes to states. Fed has no role, yet purging voters based incomplete info.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Thanks to the courage of a whistleblower, we are now getting answers to what’s really going on in Trump’s DHS ahead of the midterm elections.

And no surprise, they’re coming after our private voter information and right to vote.
