Unions are a big part of why Minnesota just ranked in the top 5 states for quality of life. That's why I’ll always stand up for their collective bargaining rights, safe working conditions, apprenticeship programs, fair wages, and affordable health care.

A gentle reminder that the VA getting rid of 30,000 people instead of 80,000 people isn’t a win.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...
10:30am:

"Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead."

10:49am:


law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

We’ve got anonymous law enforcement running around carrying assault weapons, with their faces covered, no names and badge numbers covered. Now assassins are using that as cover to kill people they disagree with

NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990. In fact, it would be the largest transfer *ever.* Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.
