can you imagine launching a Senate bid in *Minnesota* **today** with part of your platform being "actually this is fine"
Former “Sunday Night Football” sidelines reporter Michele Tafoya announced a Republican bid for Senate. Her video made passing reference to the unrest over ICE that has gripped Minnesota and said she would stand with police to deport undocumented immigrants.

I hate to say it but I think most Trump supporters are completely fine with this, if not outright happy about it. I bet within 48 hours their media and our government will show them it’s ok to mock this boy and harass his loved ones too.
This picture making the rounds on reddit, Columbia Heights. I'm not OK.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

🧐 why did Jon Stewart take a break from the Daily Show in 2013 to shoot a movie ~6000 miles away from NYC? 🤔
NEW: This week, Daily Show host Jon Stewart introduced his audience to Jenin Younes, describing her as a courageous civil rights attorney who had been canceled by both the right and left and therefore “must be doing something right.”
Really, she spent years undermining public health—and Democrats.
