Hey Jane, tell Ken that Donavon sends his regards.
I work with state parties every single day. There are only a handful of national leaders who actually raise real money for the year organizing state parties do--Ken Martin (dnc chair), Simon Rosenberg (Hopium), Sen. Warren and Actblue. Come for Simon and you come for all of us.
I'm not interested in arguing with the good people of Minnesota, on the front lines, doing the hard work of protecting our democracy. I've worked hard to bring your bravery and courage to the world in recent weeks on Hopium.
But attacks like this are false, defamatory, and need to end. 1/

If you’re going to be at Whipple this morning, please make sure that you are safe. ICE does not distinguish between demonstrators, observers, press, or bystanders — or as they call them all, “domestic terrorists.”

You have just been visited by Somali Paul Bunyan. In order to receive his blessing, you must share this with your friends and type “Thank you Somali Paul Bunyan for discovering Minnesota!”

The President’s comments about our Somali neighbors are of course vile and racist, and federal authorities targeting even citizens shows exactly what they’re trying to do: sow fear and hate. #mnleg

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

This is straight up vile. There is NO group against whom bigotry is tolerated in the DFL, yet this Green Party turd would like the DFL to make a special exception for transphobia. Get bent, Terry.
The DFL’s national unpopularity will persist if it insists on complete agreement on social issues. Some convention attendees expressed discomfort with the bathroom arrangements. Telling them their feelings are invalid is more likely to drive them out of the party than change their minds.

Eid Mubarak, my friends. I ate so many lamb chops tonight, I was asked to please try sample some of the other delicate cuts of meat, to which I said, "ok thanks for the advice," and then ate another lamb chop.

The legislature had an agreement on the budget process, agreed upon by Republicans and Democrats. This violates that agreement. You don’t throw in last minute demands like this because you’re serious about negotiating.
Rep Rarick said she wanted to exchange offers publicly, so here it is.
Republicans are holding our Higher Ed budget - and the 226K students who depend on it - hostage over a process issue.
We have a bipartisan agreement that we could pass right now if Republicans give up on this bullshit.

One of the silliest things about America’s neo-fascist project is that we’re just outsourcing everything from our concentration camps to our state-run media to the absolute dumbest people imaginable.
The far-right One America News Network will provide “newsfeed services” to Voice of America and other U.S. government-funded media outlets, according to Kari Lake, senior advisor to the U.S. Agency for Global Media, VOA’s parent company.

Update on the outside cat: it’s been one year and one day since this idiot escaped, and she still is living in my backyard. All my various traps serve to do is eliminate her competition from other cats, possums, raccoons, and one time, a bird. I will never give up, but goddamn bitch, help me out.

Every year I plan on cutting down this half-dead piece of shit evergreen outside my front door, and every year some motherfucking bird decides to fuck it up with their stupid nest.
Next time, you bitch ass dinosaurs. Next time.

The Six Year Old came to me with an ingenious business plan, and I enthusiastically supported it, so I told her that she needs to inform her mother. Three minutes later my wife is hollering "NO GRIFTS, SEND IN YOUR FATHER."

Thank you SD51. 💙 We may have come up short yesterday, but this was a campaign of ideas, not people, and I believe these ideas will take hold in CD3. I want to thank all of my supporters for coming out for the election, my wife Dani for her support, and Cheryl Poling for running a solid campaign.

Day 308: she was gone for three days, which made me think she had finally dropped the baby weight if you know what I mean, but looks like fatass is still out and about with child. Bonus: in person photo!
