Seattle livin', Minnesotan at heart

I like sports, reading, politics, cats, and being outside.
The National Guardsmen shot in DC should've never been deployed there in the first place. Their death is a tragedy for their families, their unit, and this country in more ways than one.

It wouldn't be the holidays in Minnesota without having to outrun a winter storm warning home from the airport!

Felt like I was a pig in The Three Little Pigs book the way the wind sounded outside. #Thanksgiving

Look around. The “anti-establishment” figures have government positions. They’re billionaires and vice presidents. They’re not fighting power—they are power. #trump

I just turned 35 and feel like I've been more sensitive to caffeine lately. I bought some half caff coffee to try in the morning and felt surprisingly good. No caffeine headache or irritability (beyond the normal amount) I guess this is self care when you get old.

Sad. Rogue Dead Guy Ale was the first craft beer I remember really enjoying. Unlocked a door for me in my enjoyment of beer, which was especially a big deal having my first drinks in South Dakota where Busch Light reigns. #beer

Trump's call to investigate others seems like he will risk annoying important people who will also name him. But, that's his choice. 🤷‍♂️ #epsteinfiles

This epsiode of The Daily provides good insight into what Dems got out of the shutdown. Although they did not get any political headline wins, they did maintain two potentially important strategy cards.

Reading/watching more about the #EdmundFitzgerald upon the 50th anniversary of its sinking. It seems the Fitz was an unfortunate victim to greed and recklessness. It was one of the few ships that ran late into the season when the weather got bad.

Donald Trump wants the Washington football team to name their stadium after him.

I thought Washington dropped racist names from their team?

Marketplace offers great reporting on what happens if Trump's reciprocal #tariffs are struck down by the Supreme Court.

It is not the end of tariffs from the President, by any means, but it will force the president to classify tariffs in a more specific way.

If SCOTUS strikes down President Trump's current tariffs, he has plenty of other options
There’s a whole list of alternative tariffs the administration could deploy— but they might require investigations, include time limits on them, or need Congressional authorization.
