Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

These Minnesota people — Frey, Walz, Sens Smith + Klobuchar, Keith Ellison, now Ventura — are not fooling around.

The film "Wag the Dog" wasn't meant to be a documentary!
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

Promising retribution seems like grounds for impeachment.
Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?
