@maddow.bsky.social So if there’s about 130,000 undocumented immigrants in MN, about 1.6 million in FL, and about 2.1 million in TX, why are all the ICE agents in MN?

The flood wasn’t political. Why the county was so unprepared and people died… that was entirely political.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

BIG rebuke of Trump administration by the DC Circuit on Alien Enemies Act. Upholds Judge Boasberg's order. Conservative jurist, Judge Henderson's concurring opinion cuts through the noise. "[A]n invasion is a military affair, not one of migration." Great analysis of what USG wanted to do here.⬇️
