hi @uaw.org, do you confirm or deny that Shawn Fain called Lutnick and glazed Trump?
Lutnick: "UAW is on side. Shawn Fain, who runs the UAW, he actually called me and said, 'I can't believe I'm calling a Republican secretary of commerce to say thank God for you guys. You guys care about the American worker.'"

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Look at this and reconsider Trump’s claim that Putin wouldn’t have dared to invade if Trump were president.

He clearly would have.

Putin isn’t afraid of Trump because Trump is weak and compromised

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/U0fviLiM

We had endless articles and TV clips about Biden's mental capacity but silence about Trump's obvious unfitness when he says he's going to start a war with Denmark over Greenland because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

“[JD Vance] said there's absolute immunity. This is not true… maybe he's deliberately lying, maybe he just doesn't know. I figured a Yale-trained lawyer would know.”

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison tells Prem why there is no 'absolute immunity' for ICE agents.

Donald Trump is a criminal who should be in jail and not the White House. ICE is a band of lawless goons who shouldn't be allowed to carry guns or badges. And the citizens who peacefully protest the Administration's violence against our nation are the true patriots.

They need to start freaking out more. The Venezuela raid has apparently left Trump thinking he’s all-powerful and now he wants to do it again and again. Beyond the insanity of running foreign policy on short-term whims, it’s also literally the kind of thing that could set off global war.
Warner: "Nothing would lead to the absolute destruction of NATO more than US aggressive action against a longtime ally like Denmark"

Schumer: "I asked for assurances that they were not planning operations in other countries like Colombia and Cuba, and I was very very disappointed in their answer"

Minnesota has to come first - always.

Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids.

I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

New in PN: The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives

"Republican policies have created a perfect vicious cycle: Privatize services, let private companies run amok, then declare that the government is the problem. And the Trump administration is turbo-charging it."
The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives
Privatization and a lack of oversight creates a vicious cycle.

Media outrage would blot out the sun if Joe Biden was MC'ing an auction at his private golf club on NYE and blithely dismissing a $2 million bid for a painting as "peanuts" while Americans struggle to pay the bills and ACA health insurance premiums go up - today - by 100% or more
after bidding $100,000 for a painting during an auction at Mar-a-Lago, Trump describes $2 million as "peanuts" for another bidder and the painting eventually goes for over $2.5 million

There are only 45 million foreign-born people living in the United States right now, about half of whom are naturalized citizens. So this ridiculous edge-lord post by taxpayer-funded trolls is suggesting deporting 55 million native-born citizens.
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

Donald Trump’s lying again.

He lost in court when Illinois stood up against his attempt to militarize American cities with the National Guard. Now Trump is forced to stand down.

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.
