She had a chance to do something on guns and she adjourned the state house so republicans wouldn’t have to vote on no nonsense legislation. Remember annunciation mass shooting

Jon Husted just voted to continue the Iran war for the 14th time. While Ohioans are paying record high costs at the gas pump and the grocery store, Jon Husted is voting for more war – and costing you more money – every chance he gets.

I guess one way in which I differ from the Republican nominee for US Senator from Minnesota is that I love Minnesota and enjoy living here. Something I like about @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is that she likes the place she is running to represent. Seems like it may help someone in that job.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

She adds, "But Republicans have made it a big attack on you," which is a telling statement. Stated simply: We don't find it newsworthy either, but it's our job to use talking points from one side and parrot them back to the other side. If not, we'll be accused of bias. (Also, my boss is Bari Weiss)

Accountability isn't optional in a democracy. The FBI has just issued a license to kill to Trump's goons who can now murder whoever they want with no consequence. Our constitutional right and freedoms under assault by the very people sworn to uphold and protect them.

Perfect time to be reading @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social Stoking in-group fighting is one of the most effective authoritarian techniques. The fact that the left isn’t laser-focused on Trump’s $2 billion+ earnings as president, but treats it as a shrug, says everything about where we’re at.

I was told for the last 27 years that the reason we cannot have any sort of gun control, regardless of school shootings from Columbine on, was a need to stand up to a tyrannical government. I watched more and more children die or live in fear to get to this moment. And now, nothing.

We all want to get violent criminals off our streets, and the State of Minnesota has never wavered in doing so. The federal government’s propaganda machine is taking credit for work that happened long before thousands of untrained agents showed up to put on a show for Trump.
