most of the headlines about this are complicit with the fascists in power, but let’s be clear: they raided her house because of who she is, not because she’s done anything to justify this treatment. the president shouldn’t be able to weaponize the government against his political enemies.

Minnesota clock in. Can you give someone a ride to vote? Can you show up for the Somali community? Whenever there’s an announcement of a rally to support Omar, can you set aside your plans and go?

It is no accident that this raid comes three weeks before an election where Rep. Omar is on the ballot. This is part of the fascist playbook to rile up his supporters in advance of the midterms.

This is an escalation of a decade-long campaign of attacks. Donald Trump has repeatedly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, contributing to death threats and violence.

This raid is an abuse of power. The use of federal law enforcement against a sitting member of Congress on the eve of an election is unprecedented and unacceptable.🧵

Make no mistake, this is state sponsored terrorism intended to suppress voting in the upcoming election where the president and his allies know they will lose badly. This is an attempt to stoke fear in the hopes of letting his base gain power through bigotry and oppression. We cannot let him win.

It is appalling (though part of a long and clear pattern) that the president is using the federal government to harass and attack his political enemies. This administration has moved the country into clear lawless tyranny and has made immigrants, particularly the Somali community, its targets.

i know there are a lot of people who are understandably and rightfully disappointed in democrats but i do also unfortunately think that people need to vote for them because it is extraordinarily important that republicans lose by the maximum possible amount. salt the earth underneath them.

People, I guarantee deliberately misspelling Trump’s name or putting asterisks where certain letters should be is not somehow going to bring Trump low or help one avoid his depredations. He’s not Beetlejuice, ffs. He isn’t going to show up just because you accidentally say his name a few times.

This is outrageous, despotic shit and everyone who played a role in it should lose their place in polite society. Show us the warrant. Who asked for it? What did they claim? Have there been grand jury proceedings? Who was in charge? And what judge, if any, signed off on the search warrant?

Ilhan Omar is my representative and she fights so hard for us. Represents us well in DC, constantly present in the district, uses her sway to support other politicians, extremely responsive when people need help. The absolute model of an Congressperson. So many of us are ready to stand with her

In a twisted authoritarian spectacle, federal agents raided Ilhan Omar's home this morning. Trump has made no secret of his disdain for the Congresswoman – frequently using racist, tyrannical drivel to express an unhinged desire to expel her from the country.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

For Public Notice, I wrote about Minnesotans planting our feet to stand strong against renewed attacks on our Somali communities, but I have to admit I didn’t have today’s “raid a sitting member of Congress’s home based solely on Trump’s xenophobia” in there as a possibility.

Trump wants a race war. Minnesotans won’t take the bait.

Other poll notes: no sign Peggy struggles with Hennepin (other polls were showing this) or with people of color (tho Hispanics, a group Morning Consult showed weakness with, not broken out), no dropoff in DFL support (no Angie defectors). Tafoya’s path is with Indy voters where she leads marginally.

Same knee surgery, twice the price: Hospital monopolies push up healthcare costs
This article first appeared on KFF Health News. More than a million times a year, a U.S. surgeon slices open a knee, strips out worn cartilage, caps the leg bones with metal, and drops in a plastic spacer to allow the new joint to glide. While knee replacement procedures have become standard, however, the prices […]

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...
