Tonight my 3-meat chili took 2nd place out of 21 at at chili cook off, losing to a VEGAN CHILI. I will be withdrawing from public life to grieve. Both myself and my family request privacy and we come to grips with this terrible twist of fate.
Thank you
Rain, sleet, or snow work still gets done. Same work ethic at home as I bring to the Statehouse. Because I believe in rolling up my sleeves and doing the hard work myself. No days off.
Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.
5. Impeach Noem and Bondi.
6. End the Kavanaugh stops with racial profiling and end the militarization of ICE.
7. Codify a use of force standard so courts can enforce the law against rogue ICE agents.
8. Tear down and replace ICE with an agency that has oversight.
Trump is engaged in the SYSTEMATIC destruction of the rule of law.
Only if Congress fights with every legal tool at our disposal including lawsuits in the courts, like we are doing with the Epstein files, can we stop this madness.
We owe that to nurse Pretti and the hundreds of thousands on the streets risking their lives to stand up for our freedoms.
The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.
The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.
The videos don't lie. A man is dead, killed in cold blood. There is no conceivable justification for this intentional homicide. And make no mistake, that intentional, unjustified homicide was committed on behalf of Donald J. Trump.
Trump's militarization of Minneapolis and other parts of our nation isn't about illegal immigration. It's not about enhancing public safety. It's about destroying any sense of that safety—to intimidate political opponents, and to punish dissent. It's about a corrupt, out-of-control regime's effort to provoke citizens in order to justify the violence it desires to commit against them so that it can expand and retain its power.
That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality.
And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive.
Congress needs to do its job.
Now.
Before it's too late.
Masked agents murdering people in the streets. I’m more and more cinch Ed they are trying to start a civil war. It won’t be long before observers start standing their ground.
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”
Nazis always try to swarm and outnumber us because this is what they look like one on one.
Nazis are, to the last man, fucking cowards. Their obsession with strongmen stems from their crippling fear of inadequacy.
Cut one off from the herd and they shit themselves, everytime.
