This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Trump is desperately trying to incite a riot before the election so he can declare an emergency

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump + The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue. Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP 1.78k ReTruths 5.38k Likes Oct 08, 2026, 4:30 PM 贝

The FCC's sole defense is that its review was required by process. The court appeared skeptical, and rightly so. Threatening license revocation is an extreme step, basically a death sentence over a speeding ticket. I remain confident the First Amendment will prevail here

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens.

We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts.

The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported.

Yesterday, former Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, violating a court order, called a meeting to hold a vote for party chair. Now she claims Nikki Lucas was elected chair, with votes from only 13 of the 42 District Leaders. This is illegal and undemocratic.

The former chair of the BK Dems is trying to call a meeting at 10pm tonight to pick a new chair, in defiance of a judge’s order and using rules that the court struck down. No one should attend this meeting. Democrats respect the results of elections and the rule of law.

At a moment of real & rising antisemitism, extremism, & violence across the ideological spectrum, our communities deserve a whole-of-government response. This strategy marks an important step toward that goal — rooted in the recognition that Jewish safety and inclusive democracy must go hand-in-hand
