Minnesota: Situation Largely Unchanged

National & Minnesota Report

Minnesota has been treated as a playground for the full exercise of Executive Power of the President of the United States and the evidence of Donald J Trump’s (R) abuse of power has been has been clearly documented in full view. The video images of the murders of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretty along with people having the windows of their vehicles smashed and being dragged out of their cars, whether or not they were illegally in the country are hours long.

We fully believe, Trump sought through the Occupation and Insurrection of ICE and the CPB, he would be able to insight the citizen’s to riot and thus providing him the necessary rationale for instituting the Insurrection Act. This is mentality of a deranged aspiring dictator.

The peaceful protests, which resulted in over-the-top responses of pepper spray, flash-bang grenades, intended to stun and tear gas clouds and marked violence against people recording the proceedings is something seen in other countries not in America. These are tactics used to support an oppressive regime, and we are being oppressed.

The arrival of Tom Homan, the Border Czar, replacing CPB Commander Greg Bovino is not much of a change, accept, it will wean off the numbers of agents slowly. The aggressive efforts on a state with small number of undocumented people sends a sharp signal to other states and is a reflection of an Imperial Presidency out of control. As we said before, this is a Who Song, Won’t Get Fooled Again, and the lyric, “Meet the New Boss. Same as the old Boss, is clear and evident.”

As the legislature commences, we will see the difference between the sycophant Trump supporting legislators on the right and if there are any reasonable Republicans left and the DFLers who are calling for more civil responses such as the removal of masks and actual targeted efforts at locating the true “Worst of the Worst” rather than a 5 year-old in a blue bunny hat with a Spiderman backpack or an elderly man who they didn’t even allow to get fully dressed before the hustled him out in Crocks and a small blanket.

The situation in Minnesota remains the same, and what has happened here in the Land O’ 10,000 Lakes is coming to a community near you. If the US Supreme Court refuses to curtail the power of the Executive Branch then its up the Congress to do so, but it will take a dramatic change in the House and senate to make it happen. The power of the people needs to be fully on display in all fifty states.

Historically, in recent elections, the party out of power on average gains 16 seats in the House. In 2018, during Trump’s first term Democrats gained 40 seats. We expect a similar result in 2026.

The real point of contention will be in the Senate. There are nine incumbents who have declared their retirements. Now, the question is can their party’s hold the seats or will the Trump Effect once again have an adverse impact?

The five Republicans are: Tommy Tuberville R-AL, Joni Ernst (R-IA), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY). The four Democrats are: Dick Durbin (D-IL), Gary Peters (D-MI, Tina Smith (D-MN, and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).

These races are key to deciding the Senate Majority.
