They need to be ripped up, root and branch.”That was posted on Bluesky by conservative Bill Kristol on Jan. 24, 2026. In fact, Kristol is to the left of many elected Democrats.

The majority of Democrats are, at the very least, “troubled” and “very concerned” and “demanding answers.” Frankly, that’s not good enough. Democrats need to look to the people of Minnesota who are literally risking their lives to protect their communities.
