@davidjollyfl And, the cooperation of Florida must end also. Standing down the Governor's personal military force, the Florida State Guard, would be another good idea.

In this moment, we must choose the right side of history. May Alex Pretti's memory be not just a blessing, but a charge.
My comments on Minnesota:
English
@AlBuffalo2nite @SenDuckworth Obviously, we have the instant death penalty for that. Oh wait, that's China, Russia and N. Korea.
English
This claim is deliberately dishonest.
These incidents were not random homicides. They occurred during active federal law-enforcement operations where individuals inserted themselves into crime scenes, refused lawful orders to disengage, and physically resisted enforcement.
Federal agents did not arrive to target “cities.”
They were executing lawful investigations involving criminal activity and immigration violations.
When a person aggressively enters an active scene…
refuses to clear the area…
resists commands…
and does so while armed or interfering with officers…
The risk of a lethal outcome rises exponentially. That is reality, not politics.
Blaming law enforcement while erasing the actions that triggered escalation is reckless and dangerous. It teaches people to believe resistance carries no consequence.
Law enforcement didn’t create these confrontations.
They responded to them.
Facts matter. Context matters.
And misrepresenting cause and effect only fuels more chaos.

There have been 3 homicides in Minneapolis this year. Trump’s agents committed two of them: a mom and a nurse who cared for our Veterans.
Stay the hell out of our cities.

@SenDuckworth In short; he demands complete cooperation, surrender to the Secrete State police forces, adopt any lies they wish to tell, give over all voter roll information and join the violent forces against democracy or be a victim.
English
@RWPUSA I called it "murderous extortion" yesterday and believe it's an example of a gangster style government.
English
As I said here, this is extortion.
Two innocent civilians in Minnesota were murdered as part of this extortion.
Yet this is the Attorney General of the United States?

Minneapolis is now the crucible of our democracy.
English
The leader of that death squad clearly lied again about the facts of the murder by federal agents. The @SenateDems must stop the funding of this militia before they are used against our democracy in November.
Stuart Stevens@stuartpstevens
When we see it in other countries, we know what to call heavily armed masked agents of the state who murder citizens who disagree with their government. We call them death squads. @ICEgov is an American death squad.
English
@sethmoulton @PamBondi @realDonaldTrump The @SenateDems should put an end to funding this type of murderous extortion.
English
.@PamBondi just threatened to kill more Americans if @realDonaldTrump's political opponents don’t turn over their voter data.
Have you Republicans no shred of shame?

The @SenateDems can't support funding an internal police force used to murder and terrorize American citizens and residents. They can't support a military used to seize natural resources from a country to enrich a President's benefactors. Stop the dictatorship, keep the republic!
Senator Patty Murray@PattyMurray
Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences. I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands. The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that. I will continue fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.
English
He's so emboldened and detached from reality he believes his power is only limited by his "morality" and "dictates" laws by fiat. The @GOP wants a dictator and will acquiesce to his desires with limited question out of fear of their armed constituents.
Barry R McCaffrey@mccaffreyr3
Every day. Trump commands. In violation of the law. By erratic whim.
English
@LarrySabato These actions cannot be funded by Congress @TheDemocrats . How @GOP believe this is the future of America which we'll accept is beyond my imagination. Are the @GOP the new American fascists?
English
@ChrisMurphyCT The @GOP need to stop being complicit in his unconstitutional, illegal, actions. They also have an interest in the future of American respect and leadership in the World. He's not immortal, and his ideas will die.
English
I fear we are losing our ability to be outraged by Trump's incessant corruption - the latest being his threat to throw Jay Powell in jail unless he adopts Trump's interest rate policy.
Trump doesn't stop trying to be an autocrat. And we shouldn't stop being outraged by it.

Iceland and Norway are also of great strategic importance to the USA. The same waters as Greenland. I don’t think Trump has realized that we stick together in the Nordic region. Bad relations with Denmark also mean bad relations with Iceland and Norway. How is he going to solve that? Buy Iceland and Norway too?
English
@tedlieu @USAmbNATO @POTUS It's time for Congress to exert its Article 1 responsibilities and stop unilateral use of military forces by the Executive Branch. The role of conducting foreign policy doesn't extend to the wholesale destruction of US leadership in the world.
English
Dear @USAmbNATO: Since you are the Ambassador to NATO, you know that attacking a NATO ally requires congressional authorization.
Any order from @POTUS that uses military force against Greenland, without congressional authorization, is illegal. Military members must disobey it.
U.S. Ambassador to NATO@USAmbNATO
Greenland is strategically located, critical to U.S. national security and the security of our NATO Allies. The Arctic region is vital to deterring our adversaries and to monitoring the evolving threat picture.
English
@McFaul The "legacy" he imagines isn't the one he is creating.
English
Like his ballroom, Trump's desire to annex Greenland is purely and only a vanity project.
It's all about his legacy and nothing about US national security.
English
@Kasparov63 Trump reminding you of Putin. Imagine that.
English
This is starting to remind me of Putin's long and often dubious lectures on the great Russian past and its holdings that were stolen from it, etc. Either you have evolved to respect national borders since the horrors of WWII or you haven't. Russia hasn't. The US?
Jennifer Griffin@JenGriffinFNC
More historic background on how Greenland came to be part of Denmark with US permission.

@BillKristol It could be accurately stated the trump administration has ceased to operate withing the bounds of US and international law.

“It is not rhetoric to observe that DHS has become a rogue department. There’s a specific meaning: DHS has ceased to operate within the law.”

A particularly damning point from a longtime FBI Agent. Ross has phone in his right hand, switches to left to free up the right hand as he walks to the front of the car. He unholsters his weapon just as she shifts from reverse to drive. He is anticipating shooting, not reacting.
English
@tedlieu @JDVance I believe the coroner's report, and forensic evidence will show, the shot to her head came from the second shot. A near pointblank, aimed shot, to her head. He wasn't concerned for his life, he was pissed off at an LGBTQ person and seemed quite satisfied with his actions."fing B"
English
Dear @JDVance: Can you please let the investigations proceed before you make more statements that appear to be contradicted by the evidence? There were 3 shots fired. One, and perhaps two, of the shots appear to come from the side window: abcnews.go.com/amp/US/minneap…
JD Vance@JDVance
These people are incapable of not lying about this. "Side window"? You can see the photos of the car with bullet holes. The shots came from the front of the car because that's where the officer was standing when he was hit by the car. He is allowed to discharge his weapon in self defense.
English
@RepJerryNadler ICE is a domestic terrorist organization seeking the destruction of US as we've known it. They've been dispatched to enemy States to terrorize the immigrant populations and enrage local residents in hopes of escalating Executive authority and occupation. Fascism, pure and simple.
English
Hamas is a terrorist organization that seeks the destruction of Israel and intentionally targets civilians. This is antisemitism pure and simple.
UJA-Federation of New York@UJAfedNY
Chanting that you support Hamas outside of a Jewish event in the heart of a Jewish community isn't protesting — it's antisemitism. This virulent hatred and intimidation — first outside of Park East, now in Kew Gardens Hills — should be unequivocally condemned by all. (1/2)
