Update: Gov. Walz confirms that Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed.

Officials are “cautiously optimistic” that state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife will survive their injuries.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Given what this administration is up to, maybe taxes should be suspended in protest.

"Build me a Klingon Brid-of-Prey worth of Mordor" was what I heard.

Bluebrixx and Lego match well enough.

Yeah, NCR and The Brotherhood of Steel couldn't make it work either. If only they had sent a Courier with a Big Book of Science to get it going....

I made the decision that this Klingon Bird-Of-Prey was on my build list, and once I saw the manufacturer offering discounts that made importing the set from Germany a bargain, I had to lock in my tractor beam!

I've seen reviews and heard the quality is on par with Lego.

Now I will boldly go build!

Between unprovoked and foolish trade wars, threatening our allies, eliminating foreign aid, gutting our civil service, preparing to weaken the intel community and FBI, placing inexperienced clowns in key nat sec positions, and supporting our enemies’s agenda, we are weaker by far today than on 1/19.
