it’s pretty funny that Duffy is simultaneously
1. scolding passengers for not wearing fancy clothes while flying
2. supporting airport gyms so passengers can be sweaty and gross while flying
both of these proposals are idiotic but the direct contradiction is next level

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

“The cross has been transformed into a harmless, non-offensive ornament that Christians wear around their necks. Rather than reminding us of the ‘cost of discipleship,’ it has become a form of cheap grace…that doesn’t force us to confront the power of Christ’s message and mission.” James Cone.

Joining this chat, going to a mosque for Friday prayer really helped me feel less helpless. I am doing a training. We will keep our neighbors safe.
At MPR now: Across the Twin Cities, ICE agents and activists are playing a high stakes cat-and-mouse game. The goal is to make ICE agents' jobs as difficult as possible, and protect their immigrant neighbors.

This is so gross. Anyone who has lived in Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul specifically) will tell you that the Somali population there is among the kindest and hardest-working people you'll ever meet.
Trump on Minnesota's Somali community: "They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you."

“What part of your body was the MRI on?”
Trump: no idea, but it wasn’t the brain!
90% probability MRI was on his brain.

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

WELKER: His asylum was approved in April on Trump's watch. Was there a vetting process in place?
NOEM: The vetting process all happened under Biden
WELKER: Are you saying he wasn't vetted?
NOEM: Vetting happens when they come into the country and that was completely abandoned under Biden
