I love snow, gardening, sledding, hiking, floating in the ocean, reading, floating in a pool, dogs, whales, goats but most of all I love my family. Oh and chocolate cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting. But only my mom’s recipe.

You can believe the truth about Jan. 6. Or the lie. A lie spread by the person who, shockingly, in two weeks will become the next President of the United States. On those very same steps that were violently defiled in 2021. And a lie also spread by his minions in Congress.

Minneapolis Alex Pretti memorial is packed with citizens who came to pay him respect and demand the end of ICE deployment.

Democracies are so strong that they allow people to criticize democracy. In fact, the ability to do so is an essential quality of democracy. Authoritarians are so weak they don't allow people to criticize authoritarians. Silencing dissent is an essential quality of authoritarian regimes.

DOJ says “the disclosure of more than three million pages was unlikely to put to rest the suspicions that surround the case.” Perhaps because “Blanche said the DOJ is not releasing millions of pages of additional files, including some involving internal deliberations about the case“???? Hmm….

This is, quite frankly, complete bullshit. I’ve received more criticism, harassment, and — at one point — calls for my death in the past six months of criticizing this administration than I did in an entire FBI career of investigations, operations, and arrests. And I never wore a goddamn mask.
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."
