Mark is right about everything. We only need a few Republican defections.

Who controls both Houses of Congress?

Stop giving them free passes. You're angry at Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis & other the 10 other Republicans who could caucus immediately, today, w/ the Democrats & actually given them control of both the House & Senate.

here's the bio from this article.

www.startribune.com/what-to-know...
Who is Nick Shirley? Shirley, 23, is a right-wing influencer whose YouTube channel has amassed more than 1 million followers. He was one of several influencers who were invited to the White House in October to participate in an “antifa roundtable” — a discussion about left-wing groups and the anti-fascist movement — with President Trump. He faced criticism for a video he filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 2024, when he falsely implied that American tax dollars were used to buy luxury cars and install a Ferris wheel in the city. When another journalist questioned him about the video, Shirley responded that he was “making satire on the internet.” Shirley filmed content at the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. He interviewed a man who participated in the riot and took a piece of mail from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office. Shirley’s media company is based in Utah, records show. He did not respond to requests for comment.

Nick Shirley’s propaganda vid is MAGA-viral, blaming Somali daycare operators for “historic fraud” in MN

Meanwhile Trump grants clemency to 2 dozen convicted fraudsters worth over $1B

If fraud were the concern, outrage wouldn't be selective. Here I break down what MAGA hopes Americans don't notice
Debunking the Nick Shirley Video Attacking Somalis in Minnesota

A burglar broke into a Somali-run day care in south Minneapolis this week, leaving a trail of damage and debris and stealing sensitive employee and client documents. A cleaner discovered the wreckage at Nokomis Daycare Center Inc. around 6 a.m. Dec. 30 before the facility opened, and quickly alerted management. The break-in comes several days after a YouTube video by right-wing influencer Nick Shirley went viral; the video alleged that a group of day care centers operated by Somalis in Minneapolis has misappropriated “upwards of $100 million.” Nokomis Daycare was not among the 10 centers featured in Shirley’s video. The state Department of Human Services website says the facility is operating in good standing and is licensed to care for up to 71 children. Nasrulah Mohamed, the business’ 20-year-old manager, said the breach has led to “immense fear” in the community, at a time in which the Somali diaspora is already under threat. “We’re honest; We don’t do any fraud or nothing,” Mohamed told the Minnesota Star Tribune. “All this happened today — not because of the truth or the facts, but all because of fear and lies.” Mohamed arrived at the business, located in a nondescript strip mall off Bloomington Avenue, to find a gaping hole in a back wall. The thief had seemingly used tools to break apart several cinderblocks, tear out insulation and crawl inside. A tour of the facility also showed a splintered door to the day care’s front office, where workers say file cabinets were rummaged through. Mohamed believes the burglar kicked in the door before absconding with employee payroll documents and client files. Responding officers advised the center to cancel services for the day until repairs could be made, so employees called each family to alert them. Minneapolis police did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday and a city records employee told the Minnesota Star Tribune the incident report was not ready for public release. The breach came amid a series of harassing phone calls to the center, which dramatically escalated over the weekend following the release of Shirley’s video. Mohamed estimates that their office received approximately 20 such calls since Saturday, including several Tuesday after the break-in. Two voicemails shared with the Star Tribune contained ethnic slurs and language mocking Islam. The caller seemed to be the same in both calls. Other Somali day cares in the Twin Cities have experienced similar threatening calls, Mohamed said. Several more recordings depict angry men lobbing profanities, accusing those centers of stealing taxpayer funds and demanding that Somalis “leave this country.” It’s not immediately clear what, if anything, the outdoor security camera at Nokomis Daycare may have captured. A suspect description has not been released. A secondary hole left a dusty pile of sheared drywall in a storage closet connecting the day care to an adjacent Family Dollar store. David Chester, the assistant manager, said he found the hole in their wall when he opened the store about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. “As far as we can tell, they never left the back room,” he said, noting that their internet cable was also ripped out of the wall. Both businesses filed police reports. Given heightened anti-Somali rhetoric — including by President Donald Trump, who referred to Somalis as “garbage” in November — local mosques added security during prayer services. Residents now worry day cares will need to follow suit. “Now it’s worse because kids are not safe,” said Amina Adan, a Somali community organizer. “Schools are closed and parents need to work. What are you gonna do with kids now if child cares are not safe.”

FOX: Are data centers jacking up rates on everyday Americans?

BURGUM: 100% false

FOX: Why?

BURGUM: The highest electric prices in this country are Hawaii and Maine, and there are no data centers there
