I have watched the video of the horrible ICE shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis over & over. It is grotesque to hear Kristi Noem justify her killing as a response to "domestic terrorism” & for Trump to spread further lies on social media. [1/2]

The Trump plan is to put money from Venezuelan oil sales into offshore accounts? Sounds like a slush fund for Trump’s worst impulses and more evidence that his only concern is enriching himself and his big oil donors.

Under Trump, we’re witnessing increased, violent confrontations by federal immigration agents that are putting communities at risk, not keeping us safe. We must refuse to accept this as normal. There must be an immediate investigation and accountability.

This DoD review is clearly designed to shrink the number of women who bravely serve in combat roles, which would be devastating to our military readiness. Women have always made our military stronger— And they're more qualified to serve in combat than Hegseth is to be SecDef.

As we continue to reflect on 5 years since the January 6th riot, we are reminded that while there are those that continue to try and tear down our Republic, we have the power to choose progress and defend our democracy.

I am deeply troubled and saddened to hear that ICE shot and killed a U.S. citizen earlier today. We know the Trump Admin is all too comfortable lying to Americans, which is why we need more details and a full, independent investigation into what happened instead of taking their word for it.
- LR
This isn't true. Watch the video. This officer was clearly unprepared to be in this situation and shouldn't have been there in the first place. This administration needs to take accountability.

ICE killing a woman in Minneapolis this morning is unspeakable. Now, the Trump Administration is blatantly lying about it, telling us not to believe our own eyes. I will stand up to Trump’s lies. I’m demanding accountability and will fight to get ICE out of our communities.
- PM
Conducting immigration enforcement doesn't mean you execute American citizens in the street. Yet DHS is already lying about what we can all see with our own eyes. Since Kristi Noem won't, state governments everywhere will need to hold out-of-control federal agents accountable.

Today I met with leadership at @NASCAR. We discussed the @MIspeedway, a Michigan treasure that generates over $400 million for our economy; NASCAR's youth racing program, and more. We have 51 NASCAR-affiliated speedways across our state, and I'm looking forward to attending a race this summer! 🏎️

This horrific tragedy was both predictable & preventable. For months, armed ICE & CBP agents have roamed American cities & brutally assaulted American citizens with seemingly no repercussions—& now, a woman is dead. My heart breaks for her family & loved ones. 1/

For months, we’ve been warning that Trump’s enormous growth and reckless empowerment of ICE – which has a bigger budget than the militaries of almost every country on earth – would have serious consequences. (1/2)

Whether you go in trying to do a limited military operation or not, at the end of the day, it’s American sons and daughters from places like Michigan that are called up. Watch my speech on Venezuela, War Powers and what President Trump is doing to distract you.

What happened in Minneapolis today is an inexcusable tragedy. My heart is with the victim's family and loved ones. One thing is clear: ICE is out of control. We have to listen to local leaders warning that ICE is putting communities in danger. ICE must leave Minneapolis now.

Trump/Russia? Greenland gambit attacks NATO, as Putin wants. Venezuela gambit emboldens Putin on Ukraine, may be a de facto swap. Support for EU far right aligns with Putin. Please let’s not pretend there’s no Trump/Russia happening.

Homeland Security’s description of what happened and the narrative they’re pushing clearly doesn’t match up with the videos we’re all seeing. They’re asking people not to believe what we can all see with our own eyes. I’ve been in contact with DHS demanding more information.

This is a tragedy, and I’m thinking of our neighbors to the West. We need an investigation into this incident and accountability. But this we do know: Trump is sending in masked agents into our neighborhoods, is causing chaos, and is not making our communities any safer.

One of Trump’s ICE agents killed a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis. We need an immediate investigation into the ICE officer, accountability and justice. My heart goes out to the family and the people of Minnesota. ICE is clearly not making us safer. This needs to stop.

The footage out of Minneapolis is horrifying. ICE cannot continue their rein of terror across this country. Countless families separated and today a woman killed. We need an immediate, independent investigation into this shooting.

Abraham Lincoln on judges, March 1861: “It is a duty from which they may not shrink to decide cases properly brought before them, and it is no fault of theirs if others seek to turn their decisions to political purposes.” He predicted MAGA attacks on the courts over a century ago.

This briefing left us with more questions than answers—the only answer we have is one they didn’t give us. Why invade Venezuela? It’s all for Big Oil’s private profit. Americans are paying for the foreseeable future for this Admin to do oil companies’ dirty work.
- LR
This is tragic. My prayers are with the victim, her family, and the Minneapolis community. The agents deployed by this administration are untrained for these situations, ultimately doing more harm than good and making our communities less safe. They must de-escalate before more people get hurt.

Senator Smith is right. ICE must immediately withdraw from Minneapolis to prevent further escalation. I am horrified by eyewitness accounts of masked ICE agents shooting someone in the head and killing them.

Trump has completely ABANDONED his promise to put America First. How does spending years and potentially billions of taxpayer dollars in Venezuela help families pay their rent, their mortgages, their grocery bills, their electric bills, their health care bills?

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

Trump is more worried about controlling foreign oil than he is about Americans not being able to afford the cost of living. This is not putting America first.

I was just "briefed" on the strike in Venezuela & it's clear Trump has NO serious plan for what happens next. Americans don't want to be dragged into another costly foreign conflict, and they don't want “boots on the ground” fighting a war for Big Oil. No war. No occupation.
