Trump and JD Vance sent 3,000 ICE agents to Minnesota. They laid this on our doorstep.

They must fix what they broke - and I'm running for US Senate to avenge Minnesota.

Good thing for Minnesotans we have a democratic US senate candidate who *hasn’t* voted in Congress to thank ICE.

Do you know what Angie Craig didn’t do in her op-ed today? She didn’t apologize. She didn’t ask for forgiveness from the families right here in our state who have been ripped apart because of her enabling this awful man and his fascist goals. She just expressed ‘regret.’ Too little, too late.

The first bill out of the Trump administration was the Laken Riley Act. Only one Minnesota Democrat voted to support it.

Since then, the president has used it to separate families and detain thousands of people without due process. Nothing can undo the damage that has been done.

“Angie Craig brought Starbucks coffee” is the best read of all time.

It’s a very small thing but running for Senate during “buy local month” and showing up with Starbucks is so on the nose.

Trump shares a racist video that depicts the Obamas as primates in a jungle President Donald Trump has used his social media account to share a video about election conspiracy theories that includes a racist depiction of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle.

BREAKING: President Trump's racist post about Obamas is deleted after backlash. The White House had defended it but now blames staffer.

Flanagan campaign poll, and primary is 6 months away, but look at that message testing number at the end … ICE is a millstone for Craig, no matter what she says now.

From the New York Times: Representative James Comer, Republican of Kentucky and the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said on Fox News that President Trump should consider removing ICE agents from Minneapolis and sending them to another state. If "there's a
chance of losing more innocent lives or whatever," Comer said, "then maybe go to another city and let the people of Minneapolis
decide: Do we want to continue to have all of these illegals?"

It is tough here right now in Minneapolis but Greg Bovino crying to the paper about how he’s getting his ass handed to him by plant sale moms has been a real pick me up

In the face of their violence, let us remain peaceful, calm, and united. Minnesotans will not allow Trump and his thugs to turn our communities into war zones.

ICE has committed an unspeakable act of violence today, shooting and killing a woman in South Minneapolis.

These masked agents are out of control and creating real chaos in our state. ICE must leave Minnesota immediately - before more people are hurt.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

Scum.
