There was reporting yesterday that GOP Rep. Neal Dunn would resign early after previously announcing that he was merely retiring, but it was met with pushback.
Now there is further reporting that it's true.
Depending on timing, this could bring House Rs down to 217 and generate a special election.

Consider forfeiting a night out at a restaurant (or takeout) and send the money to feed the people on the front line of this terminal war.
Please, let's not abandon Minnesota. They are banding together. Let's band together with them. Give them hope. Send Trump a message: we are legion.
Thank you.

Minneapolis residents are facing a growing food crisis. Fear from ICE is keeping families—especially elders, parents, and the homebound from groceries.
Feed Minneapolis funds trusted local food shelves and kitchens, with a goal of feeding 10,000 people in 2 weeks.

Pleased to see my feed was mostly unanimous in saying they have no idea what is happening in El Paso and why and neither does anyone else.

This is what they are cutting a major US city off from all forms of air transit for *10 fucking days* for?
AP says the El Paso closure is due to the military doing something with counter-drone tech against the Mexican cartels. CNN says whatever it was, it came out of Biggs air force base in Fort Bliss.

Someone show them Venus if they think CO2 is so great
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

One of my good friends who was DOGE’d last year early in the administration told me this was the worst part.
Everyone cared until … they didn’t.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

If you thought the 2016 primary was toxic, the 2024 mini primary would have probably ended the party.

Having a superpower neighbor which looks like you, speaks the same language mostly, and with whom you are tied at the hip become a hostile dictatorship that covets your resources and territory and backs separatists would put Canada on a permanent war footing. But “excuse” is a poor choice of words.

Other than for a month in the summer of 2016 and a month in May 2019, it never looked like Corbyn would kill the Labour party which has not been true of Badenoch for…some time.

Maybe a controversial take, but she is doing a markedly worse job as LOTO than Jeremy Corbyn, despite having, arguably, a better starting position and more aligned party.
It blows the mind that as it stands she is going to lead them into an election. She is polling at 16 per cent.
Must be fascinating inside her head
