A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
@CrookedMedia@jonfavs The lack of empathy and moral character that both @RepGarbarino and @RepSuozzi have is frightening. ICE is in the backyard of their constituents and will have a larger presence soon. How can any person want this for their neighbors?
@RepGarbarino@RepGarbarino definitely does not have the support he thinks he does. How about take some cash that is going to Argentina and pay air traffic controllers, TSA agents and Homeland Security? Americans should be paid before we pay Argentina.
Hey @BrendanCarrFCC - please do something about these lies on my TV!
Please tell @NXSTMediaGroup and @WeAreSinclair to stop airing these false claims that violate my local community’s values and standards!!!
Heads up!
We’re proposing major changes to our ticket policy and fares for next year:
🟩 No more ticket activation. One-way tickets will now auto-activate upon purchase. Both paper and mobile tickets will expire after four hours.
🟩 More flexible ticket options. We’re introducing a new day pass for unlimited trips and a “pay-as-you-go” mobile discount.
🟩Reduced fare riders can ride all day at a discount—even in the morning peak.
🟩 Fare adjustments for most ticket types.

Millions of people with Lyme disease will be kicked off their insurance or have to pay more for medication, doctor visits and testing if you vote yes for this bill. In a world of MaGa be a John McCain.
Important research into Lyme disease is taking place in Maine that could lead to the first vaccine for humans. To make certain that this research can reach its conclusion, I asked Dr. Susan Monarez, the nominee for CDC Director, if she would commit to allowing the ongoing clinical trial at MaineHealth Institute for Research to proceed without interruption.
Maine recorded a record 3,035 cases of Lyme disease last year. This research is important, and a vaccine would mark a significant win in the fight against tick-borne diseases. As Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee and a member of the HELP Committee, I will continue to advocate for strong federal support for research into these growing public health threats.
