You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

This is all due to the incredible resistance of the people of Minnesota.
Their resilience - and their determination - helped enforce the Constitution in a way that political elites in Congress and the courts did not or could not.
I have never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Homan in Minnesota: "I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue."

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

In 2023, under Joe Biden, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs.

π¨The SAVE Act has passed the House, 218-213π¨
Time to call your senators
Time to call your senators
We've got the numbers: Last year we published (in partnership with the @brennancenter.org and @umd-cdce.bsky.social) survey results showing that some 21.3 million Americans could be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act, which the House''ll vote on tomorrow.
Time to send this thing back to its grave.

It's low on the scale of damages done, but I'm curious if there's any blowback from rental car companies or insurance agencies about ICE's tendency to turn our streets into demolition derbies.
Has any company refused to give them cars? Have the victims been able to get repairs paid for?

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβan hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
