"I'm a moron who can't do my job" is an interesting election year message.

Okay I take it back. David Ellison has made TikTok better.
TikTok USA is broken
Your videos aren't being censored because they're about ICE -- most videos uploaded in the US over the last day or so just aren't being published at all, and from inside the US, I can't see new videos posted by people outside the US.

It was a good idea to delete TikTok before, and now it’s a great idea.
I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

If we ever have a president who believes in the rule of law again, they better use the Jan 6 pardons as a precedent to ensure a clean slate and restitution for everyone who resisted this administration’s unconstitutional barbarity (and survived).

Someone needs to be putting ICE officers in handcuffs. Ideally someone who works for Tim Walz, but if he’s going to stick to defiant tweeting I think someone else is going to pick up the slack.

And when will [expletive] Congress get it?
Trump is weak, Bondi is weak, Miller is weak. The administration is filled with cartoon bullies who crumple when they face real opposition. Minnesotans get it. Denmark gets it. Lower court judges get it, and the best have moved into DGAF mode. When will SCOTUS get it? slate.com/news-and-pol...

Nice. Anything else going on in Minnesota?
Yes it’s cold in Minnesota—but we embrace it. John and I were in Hastings with Mayor Fasbender for Hockey Day Minnesota to watch my alma mater, Wayzata High School, take on Rogers. Photo taken with parents right after their son scored a goal!

More people should know that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross wrote a musical score for Ken Burns’s Vietnam documentary and it’s like The Social Network score played through a bluetooth speaker wrapped in heavy quilts (complimentary).

Chalk up another win for President Donald John Trump.
The Canada-China relationship has been distant and uncertain for nearly a decade.
We’re changing that, with a new strategic partnership that benefits the people of both our nations.

If he dropped dead today it would already be too late for America. We’re going to be a global laughingstock for the rest of our lives, if we’re lucky enough to remain a nation that long. Honestly the biggest own goal in world history as far as I can tell.

🚨BREAKING: DEMS DRAW RED LINE IN DHS APPROPS: NO FUNDING INCREASE FOR ICE. POLICY RIDERS GROWING. STORY COMING IN MIGRANT INSIDER
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.
Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.
Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.
