It would be a wonderful change to see more things like this (UK taking action to help children thrive) coming from the US government and less ’Minnesota is a hell-hole” ‘….(people) are garbage”. Wake up America

This is where we are now. Families are starving in the wealthiest nation in the world.
Meanwhile the president is intentionally trying to cut off food for hungry people who live in states that did not vote for him.
It's not just immoral — it's un-American.

"The president’s comments about Somali Americans aren’t just racist. They’re wildly disconnected from the reality known to those of us who live in Minnesota," writes columnist Laura Yuen.
Yuen: Has Trump actually ever met a Somali Minnesotan?

When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” We hold these truths to be self-evident

Absolutely right. This needs to be responded to emphatically, and collectively. Awful stuff.
This is racist and dangerous. Last I checked, Somalians are Black and Rep. Omar is a colleague. Where are the @housedemocrats.bsky.social? The @blackcaucus.bsky.social ?
Do not allow these insults to go unanswered.

Yes, as a Minnesotan Senator Klobuchar is right. Somalians are good neighbors. I would urge her to focus on restoring Article 1 oversight and spending powers rather than incremental compromise. Lives of immigrant and other vulnerable neighbors are being destroyed and congress stands powerless.
Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

Another instance of billionaires’ deceiving Americans to steal the true wealth of our country. Hide the facts, cut government support, blame the immigrants, and laugh all the way to the bank. US oligarchs, Russian oligarchs, Chinese Olgarchs are the enemy, not the hard working Dominican
This is real bad.
Millions of suburban sprawl homes across US face catastrophic climate risks.
When home buyers learn about those risks, they look for less-risky homes.
But Realtors want to keep selling risky homes. So, they're blocking info about climate risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/c...
