Perfect

If there is real fraud you send in forensic accountants. Not masked men with guns. You should know since it was forensic accountants that got you convicted with 34 felonies for business fraud.

There's so much beauty in the world. Here are the beautiful snow capped mountains of Tennessee.

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I’m just blown away that the same people who say everyone needs a gun are now saying if you are legally armed the government is allowed to execute you.

@CalltoActivism “No one shows up to a protest with a gun.”

A note to all the celebrities, athletes, and CEOs who are too afraid to speak out in the current climate: We don’t need you. But we will remember your silence in this moment.

IMAGINE BEING AFRAID OF DIVERSITY BUT NOT DICTATORSHIP

It’s wrong to carry a gun in public. Especially to a protest.

What the Trump Admin is telling you. -Don't record ICE -Don't carry a gun around ICE -Don't ask ICE for a warrant. So that takes out the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

@SenBillCassidy You are part of the reason we are in this mess. Do your job.

Claiming that risk from vaccines is greater than the threat from disease has led to highest rate of measles in decades. Undermining faith in polio vaccine will lead to paralyzed children. What others are doing will be blamed on President Trump. Unfair but true. statnews.com/2026/01/22/vac…

.@nra your move.

Tim Walz should turn over less than 1% of the voter rolls to trump's DOJ and make sure they are heavily redacted.

Alex Pretti was a Boy Scout, ran track, and played football and baseball in high school. He worried about the Latino man who repaired his garage and given the ICE crackdown, gave the man a $100 tip. His mom said "he loved this country, but he hated what people were doing to it."

If you crash tonight doing donuts in a parking lot, that’s between you and Jesus. We’re tired.

Statement from Veterans For Responsible Leadership January 24, 2026: Today, Veterans For Responsible Leadership mourns the killing of Alex Pretti, a Minnesota resident, U.S. citizen, and healthcare professional who served veterans through his work as a nurse with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Mr. Pretti dedicated his life to caring for others — including those who once wore this nation’s uniform — and his death at the hands of federal immigration agents is a tragedy that should never have occurred. This incident highlights a deeply disturbing trend: the misuse of ICE agents as a de-facto paramilitary or secret police force operating inside American communities. These agents are being deployed without sufficient training, transparency, or coordination with local authorities, creating fear rather than safety. It is a betrayal of American values and constitutional norms. We understand the anger and grief this has sparked in Minnesota and beyond. Those emotions are real and justified. But we urge calm. Violence and chaos only deepen the harm. The path forward is peaceful protest, civic action, and sustained public pressure — the very tools that have strengthened this democracy for generations. We call on Americans to contact their Members of Congress and demand accountability, oversight, and immediate reform of federal enforcement practices that endanger civilian lives. Federal power must never be used to terrorize the people it exists to serve. As veterans, we swore an oath to defend the Constitution — not a political agenda, not fear, and not unchecked authority. We honor Alex Pretti’s service by demanding a country worthy of it.

I’m not sure how many times this administration can tell us things we saw on video aren’t true.
