This is pretzel logic only Trump’s team could come up with. We’ve got war with a lower approval rate than prostate cancer and recent credible stories about how we completely failed our injured warriors? What if we re-ignited it BEFORE people vote? Brilliant. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

My latest to Walmart. To regain trust in a time of economic and technological uncertainty: Pull back the pending patents. Relinquish the existing patents. Get an independent audit of pricing. Tell shoppers what data Sparky has & how it is safeguarded & used.

The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

The thing that really troubles me is how Trump posted this right around the same time as the Hegseth news broke--let's publicly execute the Muslim--and then right after, Emmer going on TV, talking points in hand, doubling down on the anti-Somali message. This regime always coordinates messaging.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.
