No one should be shot for exercising their rights. Renee Good and Alex Pretti, U.S. citizens killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis, should be alive today. As Police Chief O’Hara says, “people have had enough.” We need accountability NOW. Sign our petition to hold ICE accountable. Link in reply.
While the US is stuck in limbo with a ceasefire with Iran, President Trump is working to reshape elections and test the limits of his power. Here are some of the major headlines for the week in case you missed it.
The facts: SNAP fraud is under 1% & able-bodied adults are already required to work. $300 billion in cuts means one thing: taking benefits people earned. That's not fiscal responsibility. Thank you, Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet for speaking the truth.
Insiders are cashing in on this presidency in ways we've never seen before. Better contracts. Tariff carveouts. Suspicious trades placed minutes before market-moving tweets. White collar prosecutions at an all-time low. The swamp wasn't drained. It was expanded.
Democracy doesn't run itself. 🇺🇸 Poll workers are the front line of free and fair elections and we need more people willing to step up and defend democracy. Find out if you're eligible in your state 👇 www.country1st.com/poll_workers
Trump voted by mail, then signed an order restricting it for millions. This isn't about security. It's about power. Rules for thee, not for me, is not a governing principle. Protect our elections: www.country1st.com/poll_workers
Kash Patel stood before journalists to defend himself against allegations of excessive drinking, then called the press 'fake news mafia.' That's not strength. That's someone who doesn't want to answer the question. Accountability isn't partisan.
A record 4.5 million Americans are tapping their 401(k)s early, paying penalties just to cover basic needs as costs climb. The administration calls it a "booming economy," but when families can't make ends meet without raiding their retirement, something isn't adding up. Our people deserve better.
"I'm trying to figure out what issues I can work across the aisle and compromise. But I'm also thinking what are the issues where I should never compromise. Where I'm going to stand up for values I believe in." @slotkin.senate.gov This is what holding your values over party & donor lines looks like.
When it comes to housing, healthcare, and child care one size doesn’t fit all across our state. I'm grateful to have the support of Greater Minnesota leaders like Grand Rapids Mayor Tasha Connelly and honored she joined us when I laid out my plan to reform our state government.

Trump said over the weekend the US was close to a deal to end his war in Iran — but US strikes on Iranian boats and military installations are pushing the tenuous ceasefire to its limits.

The green flag isn’t “never fighting.” Healthy couples still have conflict—they just repair quickly. A simple “let’s start over” or even reaching for your partner’s hand can interrupt the stress response and remind both people the relationship is still safe. #relationshipadvice
