MAGA is cheering for a "Strongman" country. Snyder reminds us what that would look like for everyday Americans. We see it happening in Chicago and Minnesota.
Ugh, @npr.org! Tonight a newscaster repeated a "joke" that the winner of the Danish/US men's Olympic hockey game would be able to keep Greenland. For those of us who live in countries that have been menaced by US takeover threats, this is NOT amusing. Do better!.

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

Minnesota showed the country what informed and organized citizens can achieve. Their resolve is forcing the federal government to back away from an operation that never should have happened. We honor their courage and we mourn the price they paid. Real accountability must follow.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

On every important vote that matters, Susan Collins votes with Trump.

Every time her vote could stop something he’s trying to do, she votes with him.

She is a fake moderate with a MAGA voting record.

A vote for Susan Collins is a vote to give Trump more power.

Ripping cold here in CT
With the wind chill temps reached -31 last night
The coldest I can remember it being here
Ever
It's brutal, unforgiving & makes your bones shiver
And all I can think about are the protesters in Minnesota
Out there every day in this
Amazing heroes
We owe them so much America

Mr. Clark has it right in today’s @theglobeandmail.com:
Little Jamil Jivani’s bad faith exercise in freelance diplomacy amounted to nothing more than “a blame-Canada message to the country that launched a punitive trade war.”
Petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre should be sanctioning him.

As a Canadian who has been force-fed American media for decades, I highly recommend folks in the US seek out int'l coverage of domestic news. CBC literally livestreams on YouTube, so it's pretty easy. This is what you're missing when US broadcasters censor anything that might upset the fascists.

Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of the Epstein files.

What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable?

We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

When you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.
