This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

This should be the first thing that @democrats.org do in the next Congressional session. They should beat the drum until Trump vetoes the bill and then hang that albatross around the neck of every Republican through the 2028 election.
It's a campaign flier/poster mockup: the background is a photo of Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute from behind the Presidential Seal, there's a screenshot of the 10/12/26 NY Times headline ("Elon Musk Flooded Republican Groups With $276 Million in Rescue Mission for G.O.P."), the call-to-action says, "Call your representatives. Pass the End Citizens United Act. Get money and Nazis out of politics.", and at the bottom it says, "This message brought to you by the Democratic Party."

Paxon surged 5pp on the strength of an anti-Talarico conspiracy theory that PolyMarket itself was pushing through their socials, and was then quickly debunked as an absurd right-wing-extremist conspiracy theory?

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”
