I’m deeply concerned about yesterday’s East Side law‑enforcement action & stand with Mayor Melvin Carter in calling for a full review of bodycam footage. We need to reinforce for our community the best way to show up & hold law enforcement at all levels accountable. Our community deserves better.

I am furious and devastated that ICE was once again present in Saint Paul and that federal agents continue to jeopardize the safety and well-being of our residents. The destruction this White House has caused our city in just a matter of days is unconscionable.

Italian researchers did a study where they looked at whether more people would give up their seat on a train for a pregnant passenger if Batman were present.
The answer is yes. People are more likely to engage in prosocial behavior when Batman’s around.
Now. How do we apply this to vaccination?

A Trump supporter has already assassinated one Democratic elected official this year & attempted to assassinate another and his family. He's now calling for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.
The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.
