- Reposted by Bill RobertsI don’t believe Tom Homan. I think this is a ploy to get @democrats.senate.gov to fund DHS. They lied about deescalation last week and I don’t believe a word the Cava Czar says.
- Reposted by Bill RobertsThe prosecutors raided the offices of X as part of a preliminary investigation into allegations including spreading child sexual abuse images and deepfakes. They also summoned owner Elon Musk for questioning. n.pr/3ZhlKvr
- Reposted by Bill RobertsDuring all the years before Trump’s ICE, immigration agents did NOT wear masks, and they needed judicial warrants. Just sayin’.
- Reposted by Bill RobertsThere is some decency left in the world. Sadly that leadership isn't found in the United States. Well done France. Well done.

- Reposted by Bill RobertsI’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
- Reposted by Bill RobertsI guess he just got lucky.
- Wonder if Kristi Noem is going to invite Greg Bovino for a fun filled gravel pit tour?
- Reposted by Bill RobertsOkay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.
- Reposted by Bill RobertsRep. Veronica Escobar on a homicide in a Texas immigrant detention facility: "I've learned nothing else from DHS, and I think what's also very telling is DHS tried to deport the witnesses to this homicide"

- Reposted by Bill RobertsNeedless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.
- Reposted by Bill RobertsBovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms. We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.
- Reposted by Bill RobertsGallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.
- Reposted by Bill RobertsALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔
- Reposted by Bill RobertsEllison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."
- Reposted by Bill RobertsEveryone still think athletes will avoid DHS (ICE, CBP etc) racial profiling? #WorldCup ⚽️
- Reposted by Bill RobertsIt's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.
- Reposted by Bill RobertsHow is it that one of the most divisive individuals ever to occupy the Oval Office has somehow managed to unite the entire world against us?

- Reposted by Bill RobertsWalz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government
- Reposted by Bill RobertsMinneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
- Reposted by Bill RobertsReporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those
- Reposted by Bill RobertsChris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."
- Reposted by Bill Robertsi think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
- Reposted by Bill RobertsIf your representative is voting to cut health care while giving tax breaks to billionaires, they should at least be willing to stand in front of you and explain why.

- Reposted by Bill RobertsIf you listen to the #GOP rhetoric, the problem isn't that innocent people are getting shot in the face. The problem that we're upset over innocent people are getting shot in the face.
- "Both Sides" isn't the right response!
- Reposted by Bill RobertsAuchincloss: "When you have a badge & gun and you are interacting with a citizen who has committed no crime, the onus of responsibility is on you to exercise good judgment. Nobody watching that video will buy the argument that he had no other resort other than to shoot her in the face 3 times."
- Reposted by Bill RobertsFYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."
- Reposted by Bill RobertsThe reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
- Reposted by Bill RobertsAOC has the unnerving habit of saying exactly what happened.
- Reposted by Bill RobertsGoogle the video & see for yourself. This is not law enforcement. This is murder. Sickening.
- Reposted by Bill RobertsAOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.
