Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

Great to know I'm contributing to GDP growth by sending an extra $800 a month to an insurance company next year! Feels productive!
As Trump touts higher than expected GDP growth, seems worth pointing out spending on health care is the bulk of it. Is that really something to celebrate?

If the Epstein files law accomplishes nothing else, at least it got him to shut up early one time
WOW -- Trump announces he's not taking questions today, which is highly unusual, saying "I think we have to just stop right here"
(the Epstein files are supposed to be released later today)

I struggle with what to call AI assistants, because we need to stop implying that there's anything intelligent about them. "Bullshit fountains" is the most accurate and evocative name, but you can't use that one just anywhere. "Text extruders" is also accurate but seems unlikely to catch on.
There's a reason I didn't specifically say to whom the book was dedicated, although, again, it's public information. Also, this answer isn't right, it just isn't wrong anymore. It still can't tell you to whom the book was dedicated.
The amusing part is by writing this blog, you finally forced ChatGPT to get the right answer. But your original point still stands.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.
