#CO4 Democrat Eileen Laubacher says GOP Rep Lauren Boebert is an “embarrassment,” isn’t a patriot, and is a threat to the country. Laubacher said she was referring to Jan 6. Boebert said she stands by trying to keep Trump in office after he lost.

#CO4 Democratic nominee Eileen Laubacher and GOP Rep Lauren Boebert disagreed on the impact of Trump’s tariffs on farmers. Also, Boebert said she backed Trump’s deal with Putin for cheaper diesel. Laubacher said a better deal could have been struck with Canada.

Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

Trump announces that two countries who have been in a major war have agreed to a ceasefire. Ukraine said they had no idea what he was talking about. Russia said they agreed to nothing. Trump has taken a blowtorch to any credibility the US has built over two centuries.

So if Trump says two countries have agreed to settle a war with each other, but each country says they haven’t agreed to anything and don’t know anything about it, there is still a deal if Trump decides in his mind that a deal has been reached. Do I have the Trump Doctrine right?

It is clear that President Trump needs Russian diesel to at least somehow decrease prices before the November 3 election.The US itself exports about 1.5 million barrels of diesel daily. But due to the global deficit, prices on the American market have grown by approximately 70%, to $6.28 per gallon⤵️

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.
