Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Since his time as a teacher, Governor Walz has led with decency and compassion.
Today's decision reflects who he has always been - someone who puts Minnesotans first.
I am proud to call him a friend and proud of all the work that has been done to make Minnesota the best place to raise a family.

Polls show that 70% of Americans oppose the war in Venezuela. But at this CBS News staff meeting, that number feels much smaller.

Our leader and friend Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark, were murdered by an anti-abortion fanatic Trump supporter.
Spreading these abhorrent lies is disgusting and irresponsible beyond description. There is no bottom to this cruelty.
I don't know. Just. Love each other.

Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated.
This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

Recalling the time around 2016 I got called to the office because I posted on Twitter that Trump showed psychopathic tendencies. Being accurate was bad for the brand .

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.
