I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.
This is their corrupt playbook: Use all the powers of the federal government to attack our leaders. Deploy an out of control, violent federal police force to invade our communities and kill and injure Minnesotans. Launch baseless and hateful attacks on the Somali community.
this statement is good. it condemns trump. it slams him. it does not give him wiggle room or beg republicans to stop him.
ok heres one democratic senator being clear and unambiguous about this. anyone else want to step up?

yes. it's called preemptive narrative inversion. they've used it with qanon and financial corruption accusations, too, among other things.
The reason Trump screamed “RIGGED!” about the 2020 election was so that he could cheat and rig the 2024 election as much as he wanted. Because if anyone says the word ‘rigged’ now, even if it is, you sound like him. This is an old Nazi tactic.
history is needed to better understand how and why we are where we are today. Studying this will also show over its long arc, that we keep coming back to progressivism, and I truly believe we will reject the MAGA garbage ideology and once again move in a better more hopeful direction for all end/6

Bottom line, folks: parties evolve, but ideology remains consistent. The 19th-century Southern Democrats were conservative white supremacists. Today, those exact ideological views align with the far-right, not modern liberalism. This cannot be denied. I'm done.🎤🔚 www.thebulwark.com/p/gop-republ...

So, they're investigating the criminal fraudulent intent of a dead person for actions he took well before the statute of limitations, to be used against a person with a strong "safe harbor" against fraud this dead person might have committed? Seems like a slam dunk for prosecutors!
Trump just fell for a FAKE Denzel Washington endorsement, sharing a fabricated quote claiming the Oscar-winning actor called him the smartest and bravest person he’d ever met. Even more embarrassing? The exact same fake endorsement has been attributed to Matthew McConaughey and Mick Jagger.
