The vast majority of people that you see in the streets in Minnesota are not radicals. They’re everyday people who are coming out to support their community, pouring out into the freezing cold in Minnesota to support one another. For the president to keep getting away with this, he needs America to stay divided. He needs America to be scared. He needs Congress to be paralyzed, and he needs the Supreme Court to stay pliant. We need the full voice of the people and other branches of the government to rein it in. - NB

Holy Crap so The Trump Administration allegedly posted Stock Photo Images of an Sig Sauer gun & magazine that they say was that of Alex Pretti’s! A reverse image search showed that this image has been used several times including days before Alex Pretti’s murder by ICE! More lies

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.

The Trump administration just ADMITTED in court that DOGE employees illegally accessed the personal data of 300 MILLION Americans. Then tried to share it with a political group to "overturn election results." Your name. Your birthday. Your Social Security number. All of it exposed on an unsecured server with no audit trail. Here's the scandal no one is talking about: In January 2025, Elon Musk launched DOGE with a promise: Cut $2 TRILLION in government waste. Trump gave him unprecedented access to federal systems. Including the Social Security Administration. That's the database with YOUR name. YOUR birthday. YOUR address. YOUR Social Security number. The personal information of every American who's ever applied for a Social Security card. In March 2025, a federal judge issued a restraining order. DOGE was blocked from accessing Social Security data. The judge's words were brutal: "DOGE is engaged in a fishing expedition... without any concrete knowledge that the needle is actually in the haystack." But DOGE didn't stop. According to court filings released last week, within 24 HOURS of that restraining order... Senior officials at SSA "received instructions to undo the court-ordered access restrictions for two DOGE employees." They ignored a federal judge. From March 7 to March 17, DOGE employees started sharing data through Cloudflare. A third-party server that was NOT approved for storing government data. The Social Security Administration admitted: "SSA has not been able to determine exactly what data were shared to Cloudflare or whether the data still exist on the server." They literally don't know what was taken or where it went. Meanwhile, one DOGE employee sent an "encrypted and password-protected file" to Steve Davis. Who is Steve Davis? Elon Musk's top lieutenant. His right-hand man across multiple companies. The file allegedly contained the names and addresses of roughly 1,000 Americans. The SSA still can't open the file to verify what's inside. But here's where it gets INSANE. Court documents reveal that TWO DOGE employees were contacted by a "political advocacy group." The group's goal? To "find evidence of voter fraud and to overturn election results in certain States." One DOGE employee actually SIGNED a "Voter Data Agreement" with this group. Let that sink in. Government employees with access to 300 million Americans' data... Secretly agreeing to share that information with a political group trying to overturn elections. In August 2025, a whistleblower named Chuck Borges came forward. Borges was the Chief Data Officer at SSA. A 22-year Navy veteran. Career federal employee. He warned that DOGE had copied the ENTIRE Social Security database into a vulnerable cloud server. Names. Birthdays. Addresses. Citizenship status. Parents' names. Everything. An internal SSA risk assessment form said it plainly: "Unauthorized access to the NUMIDENT would be considered catastrophic impact to SSA beneficiaries." Career security officials recommended: "Production data should not be used." DOGE used it anyway. Borges was forced to resign shortly after filing his complaint. For MONTHS, the SSA denied any wrongdoing. Then last Friday, the Justice Department filed a "correction to the record." Translation: They admitted the whistleblower was right. The DOGE employees have been referred for potential Hatch Act violations. Democrats are calling for criminal prosecution. But here's the kicker: DOGE was disbanded in November 2025. Eight months ahead of schedule. Musk called it "an interesting side quest." The question now is simple: Who has your data? And what are they doing with it?

Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

Kristi Noem will be thrown under the bus for this, but the real focus needs to be on getting Stephen Miller as far away from Trump as possible. He is a poisonous presence in the administration. Trump's worst ethnonationalist authoritarian impulses are amplified by Miller.

ICE is not above the law. Minnesota has a sovereign interest in investigating and, if justified, prosecuting the killers of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. A federal badge is not a shield for murder.

I am underwhelmed by “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” The minimum demand should be all ICE and CBP agents off the streets of Minnesota. The minimum. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

If you write an article about Trump’s health (or lack thereof) and don’t talk about his mental disorders, you have failed at your job as a journalist. This is a narcissist not just with the usual figurative mask. This is a narcissist so disordered that he actually wears one.

Republicans want to decide what books you can read, what history your kids can learn, which medicines you’re allowed to take, what surgeries you can have, what gender you’re permitted to be, what sports you can play, which bathroom you can use, who you can love, and who you can marry. They want to tell you how many dolls and pencils your kids can have and how much food they can eat. They want to own your library, your classroom, your hospital bed, your bedroom, your remote control, your kitchen table and your front door. They want the right to break into your home, disappear your neighbor, take your children, beat you, execute you in the street, and then tell you—despite the evidence of your own eyes and ears—that what you saw is not what you have seen. They want you afraid: afraid to record, to document, to criticize, to stand up, to speak out, to organize, to protest, to protect, to utter words they don’t like. They want to own the page, the pill, the joke, the chant, the kiss, the very pronoun in your mouth and the weapon on your waist. They want to decide where you can go, what you can say, and which of your rights they can take away. They want the power to take your life and then lie about it. They want to play judge, jury, and executioner and they want you to shut up about it or you’ll be next. This is tyranny failing miserably to masquerade as order. But sure—tell me how it’s the liberals who are “coming for your freedoms”, won’t you.

“LET US OUT!” women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc. In our name🇺🇸

This is correct. AOC: "What we are seeing is an administration that's deeply afraid of its own unpopularity. We must remember that we outnumber them. Donald Trump is less popular than he has ever been before. The GOP is on its back heels”

That's BS, @SecVetAffairs, and you know it. This happened because some fake, wannabe soldiers marched down the street looking to intimidate and rough up people. If you can't stand up for your employees who serve us veterans, resign.
