BREAKING: A U.S. official has filed a bombshell complaint accusing Tulsi Gabbard of serious wrongdoing, so explosive and deeply classified they’ve triggered months of behind-the-scenes chaos over how (or whether) Congress should even be allowed to see them, according to the WSJ.

The most dangerously underreported story in the world today is nuclear proliferation. This barely scratches the surface.

The Kennedy Center isn’t closing for “renovations.” It’s closing because audiences fled, artists withdrew, and its reputation collapsed under the pressures forced upon it. Cultural trust doesn’t evaporate by accident. It happens when power treats the arts as a tool, not a public good.

I hope they didn’t think we forgot about impeaching Kristi Noem. 181 cosponsors and counting, 40k+ letters sent, and countless calls telling Representatives to get on board.
Let them know we aren’t slowing down. Send your letter here:

Obviously this is easier if you are already saying hi when you run into each other, and even easier if you already know each other’s names.
But in any case, this is the foundation of the Minnesota response:
Meet your neighbors. Get their names & phone numbers. Give them yours.
Then be neighborly.

To everyone not in Minnesota who wants to know how to prepare for an invasion like ours:
The 1st thing is to be able to contact your neighbors w/o going out your door.
So start that by going out your door.
Deliberately meet them & get their names & #s & give them yours.

Today I learned that the paleontologist who recorded the educational dino audio programs that my son sometimes listens to at bedtime ... is in the Epstein files. So that's fun.
Jack Horner being in the Epstein files is not something I had on my bingo card for 2026.... Horner seemingly visited Epstein's ranch multiple times, including apparently with a student.
![Email from John Horner to Jeffrey Epstein 6/29/2012
Hi [redacted] Since i don't really know how long it would take to get from Albuquerque to the ranch and visa versa [sic], and don't know how I'm to get there (would someone be picking me up or should I rent a car) it would probably be best if you just booked the flight for me. Delta Airlines connecting through Salt Lake is the most convenient for me. My official name and frequent number [sic] is:
John Robert Horner
Delta # [REDACTED]
The geology maps are perfect.
