I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I want to give a shout out to one #Crew96 player who’s been putting in the work consistently all season with very little recognition or fanfare. Keep up the good work, Malte Amundsen. 👏🏻👏🏻 We see you! 🖤💛

Really tired of the bullshit takes by casual fans who think the US team doesn’t deserve to win tonight. Get a grip, seriously. They had *nothing* to do with Trump’s interference or FIFA’s decision. We should be uniting behind them, not wishing for their demise.

I was really happy to see Norah O’Donnell’s line of questioning during her 60 Minutes interview with the president, but then she went on her network’s morning show today and described him as “reflective” and conveying a tone of “unity.” And just like that, I have lost all respect for her.

Back in 2022, my 45-yo husband was diagnosed with 2 different cancers. We did not have the time or bandwidth to “comparison shop” for an oncologist or treatment center. We were panicking, stressed, and focused only on his survival. This plan is trash.

This is such BS. My rep, Mike Turner, hid in his office for 6 weeks and didn’t hold a single town hall. In fact, during his 20+ years in office he has never had one, despite his constituents demanding it. Of note: his district includes a massive amount of feds/military service members.

The surest way for Mike Johnson to prove that his refusal to seat Rep. Grijalva has nothing to do with the Epstein files is to seat Rep. Grijalva.

Today’s act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy

I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.   Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

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."

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

"One of the most disturbing images of the Covid-19 pandemic was when a teacher .. forced a mask on a crying toddler ..
In some ways, the U.S. government.. treated all of us like toddlers, compelling us to endure draconian Covid measures" - @HRaleighspeaks
