Not even Daddy Warbucks could donate enough money to cover the cost of all the hours that volunteers put into the DFL. Pandering to donors at the expense of volunteers may look good on the balance books for now, but it will cost the party far more in the end.
Richard is getting people who are CRYING while talking about how HARD it is here to put in HUNDREDS OF HOURS into the DFL only to be yelled at by centrists and he’s not… doing great responding.

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:
The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.

Nextdoor app posted this. It isn't real. Its AI hallucinated a school shooting, and sent safety alerts to everyone.
10 days after the Annunciation shooting, its AI sent a FAKE alert to people in the SAME area that another shooting was happening.
They must do better.

Fuck guns. Fuck this fucked up reality where this continues to happen and we just keep moving on.
I'm so sorry to every victim of today's tragedy. As a Minneapolis family, we are all here for you. I'm so sorry that more wasn't done to prevent this from happening. We must do more, we must do better.

This seems to tip into "cruel and unusual punishment" territory.
Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York and Missouri has declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries.
It the procedure goes over a certain time, anesthesia will not be covered for the duration.

The fact that there are 19 people included in the indictment is important.
This isn’t just a Trump problem.
It’s a Republican problem.

I just yelled at my kids "No throwing cars at each other, that's what Captain Hammer does! Do you want to be a corporate tool?" in case there was any doubt whether they would turn normal or not. #nerdmom

Spoilers warning - Good Omens
Never trust @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com to give you what you want. Because he will, but in the most heartbreaking way possible.
5 stars for Good Omens, but it's been days and I'm still distraught. Tennant and Sheen need to sweep awards season.
