Jacob Frey: "We need our officers responding to the basic day to day 911 calls. We don't have the capacity to deal with that and all of this conduct that we are seeing from ICE on a daily basis. Today and yesterday I was out on a couple major commercial corridors in our city. People are scared."

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Today’s Gospel is many things. It is not a shaming sexual morality tale however. Don’t fall for garbage homilies that drag Mary Magdalene into the fray. Be transformed by new life in Christ.

Below the text, there is an image of the Costco Wholesale logo, which features the word "COSTCO" in red and "WHOLESALE" in white with blue lines above it, all on a blue background. The Pop Crave logo, consisting of a yellow and orange circle with the text "POP CRAVE," is displayed at the top left of the tweet.

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless. He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory. The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel. TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE 🤡

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.
