It figures. Too bad so many continue to vote for this guy. I sure hope Doug Chapin has a chance this year!

And this is just one example of how the tax laws are stacked in favor of the very rich and of corporations, who then have lots and lots of $$ to put into political campaigns to elect folks who continue to write those favorable laws.

Emmer pledged 56 more districts before Election Day. We're logging every stop. Next to it: what his own district gets. Since Sept. 17, open town halls: Emmer 0, Chapin 1. Local press requests answered: 0 of 3 vs. 3 of 3. mn06watch.com/articles/on-...

He says he'll hit 56 more districts before Election Day. Each stop, logged after it's public: what he said, the race, both candidates' records, and the FEC money.

I've only made it to one of his town halls and it was a joke. Never a straight answer. Just like his letters to constituents - full of lies and slander and misrepresentations.

Meanwhile, #TomEmmer is too busy for a town hall with his own constituents. When was his last in-person town hall???

I don't think anything flays open a mom's heart more completely than the social injustices of our kiddos peers. But when they know they are loved completely at home and have at least one true friend....they will make it thru the pressure cooker of school.

1. The texts came from the DOJ. 2. Grassley knew about them. 3. Grassley did not include the texts in the memo to the committee. 4. Grassley did not share the texts with the Dems on the panel.

Talk about a "weaponized" DOJ! And even with all that extra info, they were completely unable to rattle, derail or trap Jack Smith. The truth is a mighty shield.

Bc the last 30 seconds of this are the best, reminder that @amyklobuchar.com's dad was a sports journalist, which may explain her utter contempt for Schmitt mistaking the Hawks and Hawkeyes.

I just love watching the self-control and superior verbal skills of Jack Smith. He doesn't let faux-good-ol-boy Kennedy get him off track. Turns all those questions right back on him. "I'm here to talk about my work as special counsel."

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

These privileged frat bros gang raped a girl and invited others to join in for SEVEN HOURS. The story was buried, only two were expelled, and we are only hearing about it now because the victim is suing. Cornell, the police, and the system protected them. The Cornell Seven:

I often look at the colors/patterns of wildlife and marvel at the artistic genius of nature. Especially seeing photos like this of close-ups of each feather, or each scale of a butterfly wing. Or the more subdued patterns of this jumping spider.

I think she is right, from '26-28. Watching him see his illegal actions overturned and eliminated will be the perfect retribution. What we don't want to do as Dems is eat our own in purity tests. Let's focus on fixing the enormous mess and closing the millions of loopholes.

While Bovino and his goonish, over the top threats have gone, ICE has continued to snatch folks and terrorize communities. We need to make sure to continue to support orgs that are fundraising for rent, etc. as well as being sure to elect folks who will never let the illegal behavior go unpunished.
