Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

President Trump has weaponized the Justice Department to his own ends, critics say. His calls for prosecutors to file criminal charges against his adversaries have eroded the department’s decadeslong tradition of independence from the White House and threatened the rule of law. nyti.ms/46Zrz3W

i had an opinion about the new tswift record after all
www.patreon.com/posts/140377...

“Eldest Daughter" is a symptom of my overall issue with Taylor Swift: the scale of her music just feels fucking off. In 2025, she's no longer a lovelorn kid singing about Romeo and Juliet; she's a 35-year-old billionaire who's played sold out stadiums all over the world. She's Taylor Swift. That's her name. Damn near every living person knows who she is, and she's singing about the internet? About the fucking comments section? When she sings "I'm not a bad bitch," is she even aware that she's lying, that she's worshipped by more girls and women than almost anybody else? Even her love songs feel incorrect to me on these grounds. When I think about the real circumstances of her life, I just start wondering where the songs are about the housekeepers, the assistants, the cooks, the drivers, and every other person who's changed her life way more than the man in the Musso and Frank's booth in "Elizabeth Taylor." I struggle to trust her as the lyrical steward of ordinary human experiences. I am certain it's been many years since she's had one the way I have them, with all the waiting for a table that implies, and the navigating of customer service phone trees, the dithering over $35 travel insurance that I can never decide if I actually need, the frantic emails about unpaid freelance invoices, the trip back to the grocery store for the thing I forgot when I went earlier in the day, and all the other boring crap I have to do because I can't buy up other people's lifetimes so they have to do it for me.

Let me congratulate the resident physicians at Howard University Hospital for winning a new union contract that includes a 16% pay raise.

When workers stand together and fight for their rights there is nothing they cannot accomplish. I was proud to stand in solidarity with them.

I'm confused to if it's a frustration with the lack of broad cultural influence, or the fact that capitalism inherently values diversity and pluralism over their preference to tradition and homogeneity, and their dramatic protests and complaints are the only tool they have to counter the tide

Russ Vought has taken a chainsaw to the federal government and is picking and choosing which parts to keep open amid the shutdown. Chuck Schumer predicted this would happen in March when he voted for the CR. Why did he change his mind?

Schumer warned shutdown would allow Project 2025’s architect to slash the government

Nearly everything Schumer warned about in March has come to fruition, Eric Garcia writes. So what changed?

St. Louis deserves a leader who is built different. That’s why I’m running to represent Missouri’s 1st District in Congress.

We need a fighter who will lower costs, protect our communities, and make life fairer. I’ll be that fighter.
