CD-7 is the largest congressional district in Minnesota, yet it’s been more than 50 years since anyone from here has been elected to statewide office. I know what it looks like when a small town gets left behind.
Together, Senator @amyklobuchar and I are going to change that.
By my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran.

Edina Mayor Jim Hovland: “ In these trouble-filled days, the nation should know that Minnesota has not resisted legal immigration enforcement; it has resisted excess. It does not reject law; it rejects lawlessness clothed in authority. It does not deny the nation’s right to govern its borders; but it insists that such governance be worthy of and deferential to a free people.”
Reporter: The president called you a loser.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis: “I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.”
BREAKING: California has joined the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network (GOARN) – the only state to do so far.
This comes on the heels of @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom meeting with the WHO President in Davos this week.
Edward Norton: “These are not normal times. We have extrajudicial assaults on Americans going on a daily basis now and it’s not okay. We cannot act like this is not happening. What they’re doing in Minnesota with the strike needs to expand. I think we should be talking about a national general economic strike until this is over”
What is happening in the Twin Cities and the Great North Star State is heartbreaking to witness. These events have cost lives and shaken families — and we must call for accountability, transparency, and protections for all people. This moment demands that we reflect honestly on what our values truly are. My thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with the families of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
I stand with the people of Minnesota.
Anthony Edwards when asked if he had a message for the Minnesota community...
"I just love Minnesota, all the love and support that they show me. So I'm behind whatever they with. I don't really have social media, so I'm not in tune with everything. But I've heard about the stuff that's going on. Me and my family definitely praying for everybody."
James, who lives where Renee was killed:
"I don't like ICE…the lady that's in charge of ICE…our VP. I can't say I'm a Democrat…a Republican…"
"I will tell you like it is…Trump's a bitch. Allowing this to happen, saying that she's the problem…Why don't you come down here?"
Unless I’m missing something, many (even most) of these criminals have been in custody for months or years in MN - not part of this ongoing ICE “surge.”
DHS itself even touted arresting several of them last year! Yet they push this list as if they were all swept up this week.
"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."
Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Here are his full comments:
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey just said that ICE agents detained somebody from a car in the middle of a main road and they didn't put the car in park. The car then rolled down the road without anyone in it, putting many people's lives in danger.
“It could've hit anybody, including my own family members. So this isn't about safety, clearly. If this was about safety, you wouldn't do stupid things like that. Somebody is going to get hurt. Somebody has gotten killed.”
Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.”
Clay this literally shows her trying to get away and not trying to hit him.
Lying like this, especially in this situation, is not helpful to anyone. Make no mistake you are willfully lying.
You can clearly see her reverse at an angle to try to get away and you can clearly see her drive forward with her hands try to maneuver the wheel to the right. Every aspect of this is 100% visible in that video.
Neighbors just released a new angle of the ICE shooting and it settles any debate on what actually happened.
This was a mother doing something completely ordinary: Dropping somebody off, then trying to leave. She goes to pull out, stops for one car to pass, then waves the agents to drive past. Within seconds, those ICE agents exit their vehicle and rush her, shouting and escalating the situation. Panicked, she tries to drive away and gets shot in the face three times.
She posed no threat, showed no intent to harm, and was interfering with no one. She was a civilian going about her life. The official statements that followed contradict the footage and read like an attempt to rewrite what happened.
This was a reckless, unjustified killing, followed by a dishonest effort to evade responsibility. It’s horrifying, and it exposes something deeply wrong with the US government and these ICE agents. They must be held accountable.
This is not a partisan issue. I need you to lock in gang.
