@JustTheTweets17 The sad thing is that it may be too late now. Things are being set in motion that will be difficult to undo. He needs to go. Now.

Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month – roughly the cost of extending the ACA tax credits for THREE YEARS.  

But instead of lowering American’s healthcare costs, Hegseth used millions of taxpayer dollars on fruit baskets, Herman Miller recliners, ice cream machines, Alaskan King Crabs, and a Steinway & Sons grand piano.

A true grifter in every sense of the word.

@MethuselahLab @threaderapp unroll please. Thanks

[Rep. Dave Min @CongressMin]

What we witnessed was the execution of a civilian bystander by masked government agents.

Not self-defense. Not law enforcement. Murder.

Everyone responsible will face criminal charges. There will be accountability.

In the meantime, get the fuck out of MN and start following the law.

Today is the tipping point.

Take a moment to look at the inhumanity captured in this extraordinary photo running on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @StarTribune. It shows federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant directly into his face. The scene reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s. We look back at those old photos and wonder how the authorities could have behaved so savagely; many years from now, young Americans will look at these photos from 2026 and wonder how anyone could have justified shooting a woman in the head as she tried to drive away, arresting 5-year-old schoolchildren on the street, or holding a man down and spaying chemicals into his face. Thanks to the Star Tribune reporters and photographers for documenting this work; they create accountability, they make democracy work, and they make all of us in journalism proud.

BREAKING: A new video of ICE murdering the man in Minneapolis today shows a clear view of what happened from the front angle.

If anyone has the identities of the ice agents who shot this man, please DM me.

The apparently innocent man, who had a license to carry a firearm was merely recording ICE agents, and then ICE began pepper-spraying a young woman next to him. The man then goes to try and pull the young woman to safety when ICE tackles him.

Then multiple agents begin beating on him before shooting and killing him.

This is cold blooded murder!

[Steve Cohen @RepCohen]

Calling this “domestic terrorism” was a lie.

An ICE operation ended with a woman shot and killed, and the President and his team immediately made things up to try and justify it.

I taught police law. This shooting was unjustified.

ICE’s training and tactics are reckless — this is the result.

[Greg @gtombline]

@mmpadellan It’s murder. Period

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

After the MURDER of an American citizen, Mayor Jacob Frey, with ZERO fucks left to give, tells Trump's ICE Nazis, "Get the fuck out of Minneapolis." 🙌🙏💪👏✊️👇

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

This isn't "self defense" by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It's murder.

Watch in slow motion. The officer fires shots two and three at the woman after the vehicle is clearly out of harms way.

His intention wasn't to defend himself at that point.

[Mario @PawlowskiMario]

Here is my opinion on Minneapolis killing by ICE officer, and facts still matter.⚖️

ICE agents are federal law enforcement, but their authority and use of force are limited by the Constitution. A US citizen cannot be detained for immigration purposes, and fleeing alone is not a legal justification for deadly force under Supreme Court precedent.

Deadly force is lawful only when an officer reasonably believes there is an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm. That standard comes from Graham v. Connor and Tennessee v. Garner, and it applies to ICE the same as to any armed federal agent.

In the Minnesota case, multiple videos show agents initiating the encounter, surrounding the vehicle, giving conflicting commands, and escalating the situation. One agent attempted to open the car door while others shouted instructions. The woman in a car, a US born citizen, appeared to behave frightened and confused.

Video shows her backing up to avoid an agent positioned near the front side of the vehicle, then turning the steering wheel away from him in an apparent attempt to disengage. The agent who ultimately fired had apparently already drawn his weapon before the car moved forward.

An officer placing themselves in a dangerous position, creating confusion, and then claiming fear does not automatically meet the constitutional threshold for lethal force. This case is not about immigration. It is about escalation, officer-created danger, and whether deadly force was objectively reasonable.

Law enforcement does not get a constitutional exemption simply because propaganda moves faster than the truth.

You can see clearly in the video that agent is pulling the gun while she is still backing up to make a maneuver to avoid hitting the agent and simply leave.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

ICE agents wouldn’t even allow a doctor to go check the pulse of the Renee Nicole Good whom they had shot in Minneapolis.

DOCTOR: Can I go check her pulse?”

ICE: NO!

DOCTOR: I’m A physician!

ICE: I Don’t Care!

These are the monsters of Trump‘s America.

Businesses are filing for bankruptcy at rates not seen since the Great Recession and the manufacturing sector has lost more than 70,000 jobs in a year. Trump's economy: higher costs, fewer jobs, slower growth. https://t.co/SgvDPgMXmy

At this very moment, foxes are being hunted, exhausted, and ripped apart by hounds all under the guise of "tradition."

Boxing Day is the biggest event for the hunting community, even though it’s illegal.

Share to raise awareness and help end this cruelty for good. 🦊

[Protect the Wild @ProtectTheWild_]

It's Boxing Day, so that means the Hunt Parades are on - so skip the parade or go and protest against them. Don't prop up a dying and cruel bloodsport.

@stan_sdcollins Wishing you well and all good things Stan. You brighten our days with your photos and stories. You are loved. I hope it can be conveyed through simple messages like this. ❤️😎🕊

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

It is now the seventh day – something that has never happened before – of an emergency situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Because of Russian shelling, the plant has been cut off from power, disconnected from the electrical grid, and is being supplied with electricity by diesel generators.

This is extraordinary. The generators and the plant were not designed for this, have never operated in this mode for long, and we already have information that one generator has failed. It is Russian shelling that prevents repair of the power lines to the plant and the restoration of basic safety.

This is a threat to everyone – no terrorist in the world has ever dared to do to a nuclear plant what Russia is doing. And it is right that the world does not stay silent.

The federal government will appeal the recent court ruling to reinstate medical research grants to @harvardmed, including to our lab and trainees

All our govt. grants have been terminated and there's no end in sight
