Unions are a big part of why Minnesota just ranked in the top 5 states for quality of life.
That's why I’ll always stand up for their collective bargaining rights, safe working conditions, apprenticeship programs, fair wages, and affordable health care.

A gentle reminder that the VA getting rid of 30,000 people instead of 80,000 people isn’t a win.

I would love for Trump to have to sit down and take a basic 50 question citizenship exam on paper. Over/under of 14?

I am taking a day to soak it in and think. I don't want to be rash, but every time I consider what the Republicans on the SCOTUS (yes Republicans) did today I keep coming back to they just laid the foundation for our very own Holocaust.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Tina Smith isn’t running for reelection and it’s a shame because I admire the senator she has become since deciding not to run. A case to be made for term limits
Tina Smith on Mike Lee: "I went to him and I said, 'Your message on social media showed the image of the man who killed my friend ... and your message is, this is what happens? You need to take responsibility and accountability ...' And I wanted him to hear that from me directly."

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.
A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend”
