Target still doesn’t get it. They do not get to kick us in the nuts, put lipstick on a pig, then expect us to smile and keep spending. My lifestyle no longer includes shopping at there.

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for so much - above all, for loved ones who are with us in our best and worst moments, and who remind us who we really are.
From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m mindful today of those for whom this is their first Thanksgiving without a loved one. I’m praying for a measure of peace and the comfort of beautiful memories.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

attacking an astronaut hero: maybe not the savviest political move
Trump keeps escalating his dangerous rhetoric, and it’s fueling a surge in death threats against anyone he labels an “enemy.” His Truth Social posts aren’t subtle, they’re prompting MAGA supporters to bombard people with threatening calls, emails, and online messages.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Kudos to Senator (and U.S. Marine) Ruben Gallego for his direct response to Drunken Frat Boy Pete Hegseth and his ridiculous "investigation" of highly-decorated Veteran and former astronaut Mark Kelly.

Someone very close to Putin once explained to me that Putin thinks that all Westerners can be bought. We have no values; only a price. Dmitriev's prominent role in drafting the latest "peace plan" underscores that Putin assessment. I hope Putin is wrong. I fear for some, he might be right.
