every day, @joebiden’s states digital organizing team blew us away. they were scrappy & innovative—and made up over a third (!!!) of our campaign’s direct voter contact!
this team changed how we think about digital and organizing on campaigns. here’s how: https://t.co/ZZ0cdqygTR
Tried asking Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, whether it’s appropriate for ICE to enter homes without a judicial warrant.
“Ask a constitutional lawyer,” he said. “I'm a farmer.”
What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights. We are not a nation that tramples the 4th Amendment and tolerates our neighbors being terrorized. The people of Minnesota have stood strong — helping community members in unimaginable circumstances, speaking out against injustice when they see it, and holding our government accountable to the people. Minnesotans have reminded us all what it is to be American, and they have suffered enough at the hands of this Administration. Violence and terror have no place in the United States of America, especially when it’s our own government targeting American citizens.
No single person can destroy what America stands for and believes in, not even a President, if we — all of America — stand up and speak out. We know who we are. It's time to show the world. More importantly, it's time to show ourselves.
Now, justice requires full, fair, and transparent investigations into the deaths of the two Americans who lost their lives in the city they called home. Jill and I are sending strength to the families and communities who love Alex Pretti and Renee Good as we all mourn their senseless deaths.
i need everyone to understand that i’m barely a football fan. i have such minimal awareness of what goes on in a game. that said i have watched this clip 47 times this morning
This is really emblematic of how the media treated Biden. He gives an emotional speech with a great message but because he stutters on one word that’s the story - meanwhile Trump falls asleep in meetings and goes on unhinged, unintelligible rants every day and there isn’t a peep
"A man ran to the Broadview ICE facility today searching for his wife of five years. They were following the legal process, showing up for her court case, when ICE took her to another room and disappeared her. He tracked her phone to Broadview where the signal cut off. Police told him to just look up her name online. He sat in a parking lot weeping, confused, with no answers." 🥹😭👇
When the time comes for these rogue agents to be arrested, they will desperately hope the arresting law enforcement officers will have the decency not to take them in front of their children.
New: Tear gas permeates into people's homes. Helicopters whir relentlessly. Federal agents storm through back yards chasing suspects. People fear leaving their houses at all.
This is what life is like in Broadview these days.

I will not back down.
Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.
What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a world leader pause to give such a thoughtful response to a gotcha question, and to do so in a way that shows respect for (while gently challenging) those who may disagree with him.
It’s very dangerous to have an explicitly partisan police force.
Under normal circumstances, this officer would be disciplined. But he can’t even be identified. And it’s not out of the question that he wouldn’t be rewarded by this administration.
