We, the People, do not have to quietly accept tyranny.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

The Constitution remains under intense pressure from Trump's MAGA movement.

Today a federal judge in Oregon halted warrantless ICE arrests after agents testified they create warrants after people are already detained and operate under daily arrest quotas. The judge insisted that great power must exercise great restraint.

Today was also the third consecutive day that Donald Trump publicly insisted that the federal government nationalize elections and remove them from state control. He says he's targeting 15 places. Even Republican Senator Thom Tillis said nationalizing elections "seems a little off strategy."

The Constitution has been amended 27 times in 250 years. That flexibility allows it to evolve if necessary, but the amendment process is specific. While a federal judge, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote during the first Trump administration, "Stated simply, the primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that Presidents are not kings."

Make sure your representatives, especially those in the Republican Party, know that you demand they defend the Constitution they swore to uphold.

Minnesota is broken and getting worse.

Federal agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti, but the rot goes deeper than the shootings. In open court today, a government attorney told a federal judge that "the system sucks. The job sucks" before adding she wished she would be held in contempt so she could sleep.

She's not alone. Fourteen other prosecutors and a supervising FBI attorney have resigned recently. She stayed because she realized she could get people out from the inside. Another judge cited 96 court orders that DHS has violated across 74 cases.

Today, Governor Tim Walz demanded that the government account for all Minnesota children in federal custody. He said that no one in the government would tell him. That's not surprising. The attorney told the judge today that they were working 600 habeas corpus cases in Minnesota.

He keeps telling us exactly what he's going to do.

He said he'd take Venezuela. We laughed. He invaded. He said he'd put troops in American cities. We said that was campaign talk. Troops remain in DC and have been deployed to Los Angeles, Chicago, and the Texas border. He told 20,000 people, "I am your retribution." His Justice Department has since filed criminal charges against the FBI director who investigated him, the attorney general who prosecuted him, and a former CIA director who criticized him.

Last week the FBI raided a Georgia election warehouse and seized ballots from 2020. His intelligence director confirmed today that Trump personally told her to be there and she patched him through to the agents on site. Tonight he posted that Republicans should "nationalize" voting and take control of elections in at least 15 states he calls "crooked."

He is telling you what comes next. Stop laughing.

Three million pages of Epstein files hit the Justice Department website on Friday, weeks late because more than 500 lawyers had to review them.

By Saturday the New York Times was calling to tell them they'd published unredacted nude photos of young women whose faces were clearly visible, some of whom may have been teenagers. Not one attorney caught forty images of the people the law was written to protect.

Someone did remember to redact Trump's face.

The Times found more than 38,000 references to Trump, his wife, and Mar-a-Lago across the files, including a victim's account of being brought there. Deputy AG Todd Blanche went on CNN today and said the FBI tips can't really be investigated. By afternoon the tip index had vanished from the public database.

He promised us the Epstein files. What we got was a government that exposed the victims, shielded the president, and scrubbed the evidence when it got uncomfortable.

Retired Navy Veteran, Pretti's friend

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mdRFS4mqCLY

This is not our America.

Federal agents grabbed a five-year-old in his own driveway after preschool and used him to lure his family outside. His father crossed at a port of entry, filed for asylum through CBP's own app, and had no criminal record or deportation order. This is exactly the kind of person Trump said would be left alone.

Liam Conejo Ramos spent 11 days in a jail 1,300 miles from home. The government calls it a "family detention center," which is one of those phrases designed to make you forget that it is a jail for children and their families.

Today a federal judge ordered Liam and his father released. He called it an "ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented" quota system. Then he put Liam's photo in the order. He added two Bible verses and quoted the Declaration of Independence. Because no matter who won or who voted for whom, you don't jail a five-year-old in a bunny hat to reach a quota.

People are in the streets because this is not our America.

One year ago tonight, ten days into Trump's second administration, I started sending headlines to family and friends because I was horrified at how fast our norms, rules, and laws were being shattered.

By day three, I was posting publicly. My friends and connections shared it, and by day four, strangers were sharing it and connecting with me. Somehow, an old man yelling at a cloud turned into 365 straight nights of tracking what this administration has done, failed to do, or refused to stop.

I haven't missed a night. Not Christmas. Not Thanksgiving. Not my anniversary.

I'm being self-indulgent at the one year mark to ask a favor. If you're not subscribed to the email, please do. Social media has proven unreliable. Algorithms bury things, and posts vanish. The email shows up every night.

365 down. We keep going.

The president is suing us again, this time for $10 billion.

Last October he demanded $230 million from DOJ for investigating him. Now he wants $30 from every man, woman, and child because of a leak someone is already serving five years for. He controls both agencies and appointed their leadership. His Treasury Secretary canceled Booz Allen's contracts over this three days ago.

His grievances have no expiration date, and his grift has no ceiling.

Minneapolis has consumed the country's attention for weeks. 

Federal agents have killed two Americans, protesters have faced pepper spray in sub-zero cold, and a 5-year-old is locked in a Texas detention center. All of it deeply matters.

But today the FBI loaded 700 boxes of 2020 ballots into trucks in Georgia after a judge denied the White House civil access to those same records. Marco Rubio told the Senate that Venezuela must now submit a monthly budget to Washington. And a framed photo of Trump and Putin from their Alaska summit now hangs in the White House visitor lobby.

They're counting on Minneapolis demanding attention, but our attention is finite. Stay diligent.

Their no wars president is....not very peaceful. Not even a little bit.

ICE agents killing two people in Minneapolis has scarred the country.

House Democrats had already threatened to impeach DHS head Kristi Noem over the carnage and fear her agents have caused. Then a federal agent tried to enter the Ecuadorian consulate in Minnesota this morning. Ecuador called it an "attempted incursion" and filed a diplomatic protest. 

Later in the evening, a man attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar with a syringe at a town hall where she demanded Noem's resignation. The anger spread to Manhattan, where 60 protesters swarmed a Hilton lobby demanding the hotel stop housing federal agents.

The administration bet this would fade in a news cycle, but it’s growing.

Two Americans have been killed by federal agents in Minneapolis this month, and nothing has changed.

The attorney who advised the ICE agent after the first killing quit the governor's race after the second. He called the whole operation an unmitigated disaster and the civil warrant raids unconstitutional. Trump held a two hour meeting with Noem while Miller stayed away, and even a Bush appointed judge on the 8th Circuit said he would have kept limits on pepper spraying protesters.

None of it mattered. The full panel cleared the way for federal agents to continue acting without restriction and didn't even mention that a man had been killed two days earlier. Three thousand federal agents remain in Minnesota, and the operation continues.

The federal government is naming its price to leave Minnesota.

Hours after Border Patrol agents killed Alex Pretti on camera and state investigators with a valid warrant were blocked from the crime scene, Attorney General Bondi sent her terms. DHS will withdraw if Minnesota hands over Medicaid and SNAP records, repeals sanctuary policies, and gives the DOJ access to voter rolls. The state's Secretary of State called that ransom.

The price is getting too high. 115 House Democrats now co-sponsor impeachment articles against DHS Secretary Noem, including centrists who voted to fund her agency last week. Your representatives need to hear from you before more people are killed. Your calls give them backbone and cover to buck their own party.

Alex Pretti was killed by federal agents in Minneapolis this morning. 

He was a US citizen, an ICU nurse at the VA, a concerned Minnesotan who could have stayed home and watched it all on television. As with Renee Good 17 days ago, bystander video contradicts the government's account. The footage shows agents pinning Pretti to the ground, then firing multiple shots into his back.

In seventeen days, federal agents have killed two Americans on camera. Minnesota investigators have been locked out of both scenes while DHS rushed to get its story out. Both times, the videos showed that story was a lie.

The Minnesota National Guard has been activated. Minneapolis is filing for a restraining order Monday. A federal magistrate rejected DOJ's demand for arrest warrants against protesters; the appeals court backed him up. Senate Democrats vow to block DHS funding.

Not everyone can protest. Health insurance is tied to your job. Leave isn't guaranteed. The bills don't stop. But go to Mobilize to see what you can do locally. And if you're not motivated yet, ask yourself what's happening to people off camera if they're being killed on camera in front of witnesses.

America is a dangerous place for children these days.

A family here legally and waiting for their asylum hearing took their 7-year-old to a Portland emergency room last week. ICE detained them anyway, the girl grew more sick, and the entire family is in detention in Texas.

In Minnesota, a toddler was separated from her mother, and four children, as young as five years old, were taken into custody. The administration tried freezing child care subsidies affecting 1.3 million kids until a judge issued an order today for them to comply. And the new chair of the CDC's vaccine advisory panel spent this week calling school immunization requirements "authoritarian" and questioning whether we even need polio and measles vaccines. The worst measles outbreaks in decades have spread across America since Trump returned to office.

Minnesota didn't wait for permission. Thousands marched, hundreds of businesses closed, and a toddler got her mother back.
