There is absolutely no excuse for partisan "federales" stationed at polling places to harass voters on behalf of one authoritarian in DC.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than we've ever had in the history of the United States of America. At a time when the people on top have never ever had it so good and seniors are struggling, we've got to scrap the cap and make the wealthy pay their fair share. @sanders.senate.gov

The SAVE Act isn’t about saving America—it’s about saving Trump from his own disastrous policies. It’s a distraction. A power grab. Don’t look away. The American people see exactly what this is. #PayToVoteSaveAct

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation. The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism. There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.

If you’re looking to understand who Alex Pretti was, look no further than this video where he honors a veteran who has passed away. He was not a domestic terrorist. He was a good man and a hero. (video pulled on X)

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old. He was a licensed nurse. He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression. And they executed him.

ICE is a paramilitary enforcement & retaliation squad for Trump! This is NOT immigration policy! It’s retribution against “blue states” that did NOT & will NOT ever support this EVIL! Arresting babies, executing folks in broad daylight, beating & brutalizing unarmed folks, busting into homes & cars!

Colin and Sophie Hortman, the children of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, are asking Trump to remove the false posts about their parents' killing:
My father and mother, Mark Hortman and Melissa Hortman, and their dog Gilbert, were killed by a man who believed conspiracy theories and fake news. Words matter. Sharing fake news is dangerous.
One part of my grief journey has been understanding the last conversation with my mother. She loved her job. People respected her job and what she did at her job.
When I called her after the legislative session ended, I asked why she voted for the bill mentioned in the video shared by President Trump, and she wept. That bill and her vote had nothing to do with fraud. She voted for that bill because it was the only way to avoid a government shutdown. She had seen the impact of shutdowns: people lose their health care, their jobs, and in some cases, from a story she told me, have taken their own lives.
She was in a very tough position on that vote. She had never really voted against her conscience like that. It was emotional and extremely difficult. Her struggle with that vote makes this conspiracy all the more painful for me.
I am asking President Trump to remove the video that he shared and apologize to me and my family for posting this misinformation and for using my mother's own words to dishonor her memory.My sister Sophia Hortman (Sophie) asked me to share this on her behalf, she is off social media: "The video shared by President Donald Trump on Truth Social is a painful, false twisting of my mother's final vote.
The vote she made was incredibly difficult for my mother; it was not a vote made lightly or with malice in her heart. She made the decision to prevent a government shutdown because she believed our great state protects and helps Minnesotans.
We must create a society in which we do not harbor hatred and violence toward our political opponents, and this video promotes a false narrative which fuels the flames of political division. The video being shared by the president is another hurdle our family must overcome in grieving the loss of my parents, Mark and Melissa, and their beloved Gilbert. I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced, and to honor the spirit of the holidays we have just spent without our parents by taking down the post on Truth Social."
Please share our message and help us ask the President to take this down.
