@BonillaJL whose voting rights have been limited, and how have those rights been limited?

WATCH: in an incitement of additional violence against the Judiciary, U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) calls SCOTUS a "Dred Scott Court," and calls for the Court to be packed. KRISTEN WELKER: Let me ask you, finally, about the Supreme Court after its ruling limiting voting rights. You called for term limits for justices and for expanding the court from 9 to 13 seats once Democrats regain full power of the government. But you have seen this redistricting back and forth play out. If Democrats expand the Court, if they were to have control of both chambers, what's to stop Republicans from doing it once the tables turn again? RO KHANNA: Kristen, first we need to talk more about the Supreme Court decision. This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One third- one third of African Americans in the Congress' seats are being threatened. They’re doing it to Jim Clyburn in South Carolina, to Bennie Thompson in Mississippi, and across Alabama and the South. And we are not speaking up loudly enough, strongly enough against a Court that is really rolling back civil rights. I do believe if you combine term limits on the Court and the expansion of the Court where every president gets two appointees, you would depoliticize this, you would stand up for the Voting Rights Act and you would stand up for basic American democracy. But this is an assault on John Lewis, Dr. King and the Civil Rights legacy and the Democratic Party needs to run against this Court and call this Court out. WELKER: All right. Congressman Ro Khanna. Thank you, as always, for being here. We really appreciate it. KHANNA: Thank you, Kristen.

@atrupar Why do we have Africans in the US Congress? All definitions of citizens that begin with something other than "American" or "United States" are a slap in the face. Calling a group "African-American" says that they are more African than American.

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats in the Congress are being threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that is rolling back civil rights."

Maybe they should all be tasked with auditing the entire Somali heritage people here in the US. 87,000 agents would make it only 1 to 10 audits each here in MN. The results could be interesting, or a large number make tracks for the border before they get audited. Either way would be a plus.

How is it Joe Biden brought in 87,000 IRS agent and not one of them ever found the Somalia fraud in Minnesota? Anyone?

@GioBruno1600 If the flag of the country that you are in offends you, there is only one thing you should do, and that is leave the country and move to one with a flag that does not offend you.

What say you❔

@otokyo__ That looks really carbonized, maybe shout have left out a bit of heat.

Whats missing from this breakfast? 🍳

@WalterHudson Right up there with: Someone k*d someone, somewhere in WI. And the PD looking for four suspects that fled from a car during a chase. No details on the someone's, or the exact place. And, they think the public is psychic and can conjure the details

Imagine the contortions required to conjure this framing. Oh, a random person was shot by secret service? What a scandal without context!! Bystander also shot, but we're not saying by whom? Must have been the secret service!! You don't despise the media enough.

@AntiLeftMemes There's a significant difference between immigration and invasion.

What do you say to Seth Bannon?

@_HMSP Start by cooking for ourself, not ordering in a prepared meal kit.

How am I supposed to afford a home when a basic dinner cost nearly $200?

@its_The_Dr So, the rainbow brigade is going to come.

What would you say to him?

@NoDMsPerfavore There's only one, and it's mine.

BOAT IS SINKING AND THERE'S ONLY 1 LIFE JACKET- WHO ARE YOU SAVING?

@KSTP So few details. But, this is what we have come to expect from MSM today. Someone k'd someone in Wisconsin. Right up there with another PD looking for information on four car thieves, with just that much description. They must think w are all psychics.

A caller who reportedly "indicated" to 911 that they had killed someone is in custody after police confirmed a homicide had taken place. kstp.com/kstp-news/wisc…

@Mrgunsngear At least that was the last time he would pull a gun and do something stupid with it.

Reportedly a man opened fire with a handgun today on the perimeter of the White House and Secret Service agents returned fire. A USSS spokesman stated they are “aware of reports of shots fired near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW and are working to corroborate the information with personnel on the ground." Plan accordingly... #CityLife #WhiteHouse #WashingtonDC #USSS #SecretService #urban #trump

@daucher_h83355 @RNCResearch FYI: what is referred to as MSP is in Minnesota!

@RNCResearch Has someone explained to him that Michigan is a NON SANCTUARY STATE. The MSP should be complying with ICE.

Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed says ICE — an agency that arrests illegal aliens — is a “paramilitary force used to take away our votes” and “the most imminent threat to Democracy.” 🤔

@TeamOssoff Is he sure it isn't D's who are going to vote R?

Ossoff: I am hearing from Republicans who come up to me on the street, or they approach me at the airport, or maybe they have my number and they give me a call, and they're telling me that they are voting for a Democrat for the first time this year because they've just had enough. The abuses of power, the blatant self-enrichment and corruption, while the American people face all-time high prices for rent and groceries and a meal out at a restaurant and the power bill — the people have had enough. And I believe that a mighty wave is building to rebuke these abuses of power and to restore checks and balances.

@KSTP They're going to "get" lots of help with no more information than "four suspects" Are they stopping all groups of four and questioning them?

Police in Brooklyn Park are looking for four suspects who abandoned a car during a police chase Saturday morning, a vehicle believed to have been stolen in Minneapolis. kstp.com/kstp-news/loca…

@CrimeWatchMpls If you don't give them reparations, they'll just steal to get reparations.

NE Minneapolis - After 4 a.m., multiple squads and Crime Lab on another business burglary at 12xx Washington St NE. Just the latest in a series of several in that area in the last few weeks that nobody is talking about. Of course, Lush being burglarized made the "news" for narrative purposes.

@RepAngieCraig Why are you calling a foreign national your constituent?

My constituent Andrea has been living with an untreated ovarian cyst the size of a softball while in ICE detention. Earlier this month, I went to El Paso to hear from her directly. She told me she is still in immense pain, and despite doctors familiar with her case confirming she needs surgery, ICE is still denying that fact. Andrea’s story is a prime example of the cruelty and inhumane treatment detainees across our country are experiencing. We need to stop funding this out-of-control agency until serious reforms are implemented. texastribune.org/2026/05/20/el-…

@bigwoods86 @MatrixMysteries They are all just abiding by the DFL rule that states they MUST adhere to the party line, not what their constituents want.

@MatrixMysteries We need to be patient, since the state government of Minnesota is hot on the trail of all the fraudsters. /sarc

“Minnesota sent taxpayer money to a ‘healthcare company’ for 26 YEARS." Nick Shirley went to the address on file. IT DOESN’T EXIST. 26 years of funding. No office. No staff. No operation. If fraud this obvious goes unnoticed for decades, CORRUPTION is incentivized.

@CityMinneapolis If only they could "work" on the violence and other crime. They might be more effective than the PD and county attorney.

No matter the challenge, our Public Works team is out working to build, operate and maintain a thriving city. Join us in thanking a public works professional.

@AngieCraigMN They already had that choice. It's called abstinence.

Reproductive justice is economic justice. People deserve the freedom to decide if and when to start a family. npr.org/2026/05/22/nx-…
