And Then They
Came for Minneapolis…
And We Rose Up

What we are witnessing in Minneapolis will not stop there. A gang of federal agents, beholden not to the Constitution but to their autocrat in chief, gunned down two Minnesotans in broad daylight. This is how totalitarian control spreads: city by city, community by community, until the unthinkable becomes the norm.

As you see opportunities to protest pop up in the coming days, we encourage you to join acts of resistance in your community and to bring people with you. Now is the time to multiply our efforts. Be safe. But please do speak up, speak out, and be bold. It’s your right. If not now, then when?

When margins are this tight, every NDTC-trained candidate holding the line matters.

We’re Never Letting Trump’s Administration Off the Hook
A letter from NDTC
CEO Kelly Dietrich
Tom Homan — Trump’s latest “border czar,” who built his entire brand on being tough but is supposedly more professional — is now running the show in Minneapolis. This is the same man who took a $50,000 bag of cash from the FBI and said it wasn’t a bribe.

This is not victory. This is a costume change.
