formerminion.bsky.social @formerminion.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Walz, Klobuchar, Smith, every Minnesota Congressperson should go together, in person, to confront Bovino, and demand he turn over the murderer. Have at least as much courage as your constituents. 000 0

formerminion.bsky.social @formerminion.bsky.social · 03/01/2026The Trump regime did not even bother to try and orchestrate a lead up to this. Of course, they have no one in the Administration with a solid reputation, like Colin Powell had, willing to throw away his credibility and honor, so they just decided to skip any justification. 000 0
