Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

When I was a teenager, if I wanted to know which city bus to take, I had to call a number, tell a human being where I was and where I wanted to go, and listen to them flip through paper maps.

I cannot think of a worse thing to say at this particular moment in time.
In our upcoming budget, we’re investing over $124 million to support law enforcement – the highest level of funding in state history.
When I took office, we made a promise to deliver a comprehensive plan on public safety—one that responds to crime *and* actually addresses the root of crime.

I briefly worked at a department store make-up counter with Joan Rivers. We caused a scene and were immediately fired. Later, I borrowed roller skates from Gregory Hines.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
