Remembering Speaker Emeriti Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark today. I still can't fathom the unbelievable loss to Minnesota and how we will ever recover. But we will do everything we can to honor her legacy by continuing to fight for legislation that improves the lives of Minnesotans.

IDK how anyone could continue to call themselves a journalist without asking this question every single day.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

Ways in which Col*mbus was the Tr*mp of his time:

Refuses to accept commonly accepted, well-established science

Takes credit for other's accomplishments

Caused disease to spread among the locals, killing hundreds of thousands

Directly ordered human trafficking and death

Home owners, you are well within your rights to call 911 and report an armed home invasion in progress by unidentified masked men. Then, set the phone down without hanging up so the dispatcher can hear the chaos in the background.

Took a week long break from ANTIFA board meetings to hang out with family in Sedona AZ, with day trips to the Grand Canyon and the historic town of Jerome.

It’s wild the agents who have videographers following them never seem to have footage of what they claim those they are arresting did

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Do any body language specialists want to weigh in? I believe putting your hands on your face is a subconscious expression of shame, right?

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3

Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

NEVER FORGET: Any U.S. Congress or state & local Government member NOT speaking out AGAINST these CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY by ICE & their co-conspirators is JUST as COMPLICIT. YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY THE PEOPLE!

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.
