Today’s assassination of Rep. Hortman and attack on Sen. Hoffman strikes at democracy’s heart. Political violence has no place in America. We honor those who serve and defend dialogue over violence. #Minnesota #DefendDemocracy
A man impersonating a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday, and killed the lawmaker’s husband. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said. nyti.ms/4jRTrvw

The VA saved my life. Now whistleblowers are telling me how veterans are being cut off from care.
I wrote about it—and I’m heading to DC on June 6 to fight back. Join us.

48 hours until we rally.

The VA that once saved my life is now cutting veterans off from care.
I wrote about it—and I’ll be in D.C. on June 6 to fight for those still trying to survive the system.

Trump gives an inch. Putin takes a mile. Is anyone surprised by this? The only thing being paid is lip-service. This President has no power or influence with Putin
