Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much.
"We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve.
"Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad.
"Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them.
"If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following:
• Plant a tree.
• Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail.
• Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do.
• Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it.
• Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone.
• Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something.
• Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace.
"Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

Mike Benz (aka “Frame Game”) is once again demonstrating his lack of reading/listening comprehension to push his pet conspiracy theory — falsely portraying a research study from my team that *counted* 20M tweets related to 2020 election rumors as “targeting” (implying censoring) those tweets.

X post from Mike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber): Remember during the Twitter Files, Renee DiResta & Kate Starbird & Medhi Hasan tried to say DHS's censorship group EIP didn’t really target 22 million tweets as disinformation about the 2020 election? And I had to post their internal docs? Well, just found a video confession:
Image of a slide with the text: "In 2020, our team identified 20+ million tweets related to ~400 fasle, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims about election materials, processes, and results that functioned to sow doubt in the election." A still image of me giving a remote talk is embedded at the top right corner of the slide.
