Do not look away.

The billionaire class headed by Trump doesn’t care if producers raise their prices, not just on toys, but on everyday items required to live. Prices mean nothing to them. Their wealth insulates them from the cost-of-living crisis that millions are facing today.

Well done, Rep. Torres! 👏👏👏

Former MN Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka deserves credit for countering unfounded claims here. He, Kurt Daudt & I were caucus leaders together with Melissa Hortman. She & Mark & the Hoffman’s deserve better care and respect.

Empathy isn’t weakness Civility isn’t surrender Blame isn’t healing The past isn’t an excuse We can find common ground among disagreement. We can be united by a sense of duty, service, & decency - if we choose. It’s possible - the future is ours to write….our kids are watching.

Seems bad. Idea: Scrap the whole thing.

Mark and Melissa saw the humanity in everyone. Let’s honor them by doing the same.

First the president said there were “a couple” states where gas was under $2 per gallon, then made it “three states,” then yesterday said “five states.” It’s zero states. This has been a lie the whole time, even as the list gets longer and longer. cnn.com/2025/07/02/pol…

Both sides of SD 47 (HD 47A and 47B) favor the DFL, but Hemmingsen-Jaeger's side does so more strongly. So I'd expect the majority of voters in the primary to be in the subdistrict where she has the name-recognition advantage. Together with endorsement, the odds favor her.

The physical Pentagon bureaus of Reuters and virtually every other news organization are now officially closed. But we will continue to cover the Pentagon fairly and aggressively from outside the building, holding the U.S. military accountable.
