Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S.

Trump posted a disgustingly racist video depicting the Obamas as apes.

Are my Republican colleagues going to continue to bend the knee to a racist, authoritarian president who wants the American people to bow down before him?

[Governor Hochul Press Office @NYGovPress]

Won’t matter. His name is on the next page too.

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Secretary Noem, your administration now openly authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter people's homes without a judicial warrant. 

That is blatantly unconstitutional – ICE cannot authorize itself to break into people’s homes.

If ICE attempts such unconstitutional measures in Washington, our state will consider all legal options to hold the U.S. government and individual ICE agents accountable.

Proud to join with Attorney General Nick Brown @AGOWA on this letter as we prepare to protect our state.

1. I understand the political risk and the substantive challenges, but Democrats must do everything they can to block the ICE funding bill in Congress.

You can’t call out the fascism of ICE's actions one day and then vote to fund them the next.

Gov. Tim Walz has deployed the Minnesota National Guard to protect United States citizens from the federal government. This is Donald Trump's America.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

ICE is the American Gestapo.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

Organizers just confirmed that 50,000+ Minnesotans showed up to march today.

50,000 people. On one of the coldest days in the last decade.

Minnesotans couldn’t be more clear: ICE out now.

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

The crowd gathering in Minneapolis for today’s protest.

THOUSANDS of Minnesotans standing together in -20 weather to say ICE OUT

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Trump’s America.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Your government killed an unarmed citizen this week and if you think we’re going to stop talking about it you can fuck right off

[Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty @HennepinAtty]

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) and Minnesota Attorney General’s Office (MNAGO) announced a joint effort to collect and preserve evidence to support investigation into the killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

We condemn in the strongest possible terms the shooting and killing of a woman in Minneapolis by a federal agent during immigration enforcement operations today. The Trump administration has taken the life of yet another person through the unnecessary use of lethal force - driven by its cruel, anti-immigrant agenda - and again blatantly lied about the circumstances. The growing presence of ICE, along with militarized crackdowns on protests we have witnessed in recent months, have violated the right to freedom of expression and made our communities unsafe, harming all of us. This killing, as well as all ICE-related custodial deaths, must be thoroughly investigated and those responsible for abuses held accountable. More broadly, the attack on our communities by the Trump administration must stop now.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

So…how exactly is the U.S. government going to “run” Venezuela? Is this like a remote work situation? Did Rubio just get a fifth job? Is there another Fox host looking to make a change?
