Memory just came crashing back to me. I once had a conversation with a senate staffer who said Chuck Schumer threw his phone out a car window, because the Senator was unhappy the staffer needed to use his phone for directions. What a coward.

Getting Maxwell to say “I never saw Donald Trump do anything concerning” is such a funny attempt at exoneration. Absolutely, everything we know about her is that she is a very bad judge of what is and what is not concerning. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-adm...

Ghislaine Maxwell told DOJ Trump never did anything concerning around her: Sources

During her interview with the DOJ last month, former Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing that would be harmful to President Trump, sources say.

I have a more than reasonable and probably pretentious frustration with the phrase: “Well, I didn’t have that on my BINGO card” Does it not misunderstand the game of BINGO? Your card isn’t comprised of your predictions or the numbers you think are most likely to be called.

Someone asked recently if I ever experience inklings of what others might consider “quarter-life crisis” behavior. Giving what I believed to be an honest answer I said no. Not two hours later, apropos of nothing at all, I found myself pricing out sailboats and marina fees in Grand Marais.

a football coach friend of mine says, at coaches conventions, Holgorsen will buy hundreds of drinks for the young coaches as long as they are drinking vodka redbulls. Because, of course.

The Democratic establishment is so determined to continually lose, as long it is on their own terms. Constantly losing at something in very public and embarrassing fashion and not being motivated to do anything differently is simply something I cannot relate to.

Manufactured culture war aside, I’m consistently surprised at how poor our collective taste in design is. The new flag is exponentially more aesthetically appealing than the old one.

The new state flag is “divisive” because right-wing ideologues have spent recent years messaging about how it is another manifestation of woke culture run amok. The idea that “better process” would have made it more palatable to these people is laughable. www.startribune.com/minnesota-ne...

Brehm: Minnesota’s new flag is ugly and divisive. It deserves another do-over.

"A state as great as ours should not settle for this mediocrity," contributing columnist Andy Brehm writes.

I have a tendency to over intellectualize these things. It helps me feel less nihilistic. But, everyday it becomes undeniably more clear that in part, it’s as simple as a huge percentage of the population just being foolish rubes.

It’s not something I fully understand. Best I can tell, this is how we have ended up with so many cases of “Well, I didn’t vote to have ICE rip families apart” despite so much clear long standing evidence that a second Trump admin was going to aim to do just that.

One of Donald Trump’s political super powers is having a completely amorphous ideology that lacks conviction for anything other than self aggrandizement. It has allowed people to paste their own world view onto him no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary. variety.com/2025/digital...

Podcaster Andrew Schulz Voted for Trump but Is Turning on Him: ‘I Voted for None of This… I Want Him to Stop Wars. He’s Funding Them. Reduce the Budget. He’s Increasing It.’

Andrew Schulz voted for Donald Trump but is now turning on him because Trump is doing nothing he campaigned for.

I work in housing advocacy. Over the past few legislative sessions advocates were able to win over $2B in housing investments. This is an unimaginable accomplishment without the dedication and leadership of Speaker Melissa Hortman. People’s lives are tangibly better because of her and her work.
