We said this would happen back in 2024.

Project 2025 always envisioned an America where women will be monitored, prosecuted, and jailed for exercising their own bodily autonomy. Now, thanks to the Republican Party, their vision is becoming our reality.

It's Scotland's first World Cup appearance in 28 years, and fans have been spotted throughout Boston reveling in the excitement of the tournament with song, chants and bagpipes.

Here's how the corruption works:

Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump

Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it

Friday: FDA changes the policy

Do not lose hope. This fight is not over. We should all be so proud of the coalition we built to fight this.

Tribal Nations. Outdoorsmen. Conservationists. Public lands advocates. But most importantly, Minnesotans who deeply appreciate what these waters mean to all of us and our shared obligation to safeguard them for our kids, our grandkids, and every generation thereafter.

One day, the shoe will be on the other foot, and they will regret what they did to the Boundary Waters today — because this was a mistake. They’ve set a new precedent that no public lands are ever truly safe, including those in Montana. Utah. The Dakotas. Idaho. Republicans privately told me they knew this is wrong, and I wish they had voted their conscience.

Tonight, we take a much-needed rest. Tomorrow, we figure out what comes next.

Save the Boundary Waters.

I believe in the Bill of Rights and I’m a hunter…but it doesn’t make sense that anyone can have magazines of 30 round freely…but then people in USA go to jail for distributing water and food in the streets…really?

It has felt for months now that the federal govt is doing everything in its power, including acts of violence, to make the Twin Cities unlivable. Vance's announcement shows that effort continues even if Trump's thugs aren't murdering people in the street right now. I just don't see how this can go on for 3 more years.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

“Spending three days on the ground brought home something that may not be obvious from afar: Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, has been—and still is—under a paramilitary occupation in which the federal government is at war with the population.”

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.

Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

Juan Nicolás, a two month old suffering from bronchitis who spent three weeks in the Dilley Trailer Prison, has been deported by ICE along with his mother.

They were abandoned across the border in Mexico.

Thanks to @LidiaTerrazas who spoke to Juan Nicolás’ mom shortly after they were left in Mexico.

Ellison on Trump: "That sounds like a petty child who will not tolerate any challenge to his massive and highly delicate ego. As he's wearing his fancy tuxedo going to whatever fancy ball he's going to, Minnesotans are standing in the 9 below weather fighting for our very democracy and in some cases our lives."

Notice something in common where most people are getting arrested by ICE

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

I support cleaning house at DHS.

Greg Bovino should be fired.
Kristi Noem should be fired.
Stephen Miller should be fired.

But none of those things alone will fix ICE – a new figure will take their place, and nothing will change unless Congress exerts some muscle here.

This is an extraordinary interview that I truly wish every American would watch. It really broke me.

An extraordinary paragraph. https://t.co/4FH7q8XzSU

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Homan to MN, Trump speaks with Walz, Leavitt distances Trump a bit from Noem—all show Trump’s feeling heat. But these gestures mean as much as Putin suggesting he’s changed and wants peace with Ukraine.

Don’t fall for it.

Insist: ICE and CBP off the streets of Minnesota.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

In Minnesota, scores of ordinary people are bravely looking out for their neighbors, defending their communities, and protesting lawless violence.

They are the best of America.

Here's how to stand with them. https://t.co/lQKjv0U7qv

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

The Trump administration claims that Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was armed and a threat when agents shot him in the back and killed him. In fact, as best we can tell at this stage from the multiple videos, he was: a.) a Good Samaritan trying to help a small woman with a backpack whom agents had thrown to the ground and pepper sprayed; b.) unarmed, his legally licensed weapon already having been removed by another agent and taken away from the scene seconds earlier; c.) on his knees, pinned by agents and no threat to anyone at the moment two agents shot him approximately ten times in the back. As with Renee Good, it's disgusting not only that the authorities execute a person in cold blood but also that they lie about it to defame their victim and then block an investigation by local police that might establish the facts.

[Lydia Polgreen @lpolgreen]

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. Crazy that these acts are seen as protest!
