My dad transitioned to comfort care on Sat and passed on Mon. During that time I reminded him of what he always told me: the first thing to greet you in heaven are all the pets you’ve ever loved. He just closed his eyes, smiled, and whispered “I’ve had a lot of them.” 💔

By ratting on Jesse Ventura's unionization efforts, Hulk Hogan denied all of his coworkers, and generations of performers who came after him, insurance and a retirement fund, and in that, shares in responsibility for the early deaths of several other wrestlers.

We’ll never know what could have been, but we do know they chose to believe him and not her, and now they are making up excuses for their votes that put us all in harm’s way.

Melissa Hortman helped pass a lot of legislation as Speaker of the MN House, but before she was in a leadership position, she was already a leader. I first became a fan of hers in 2017 when she stood up for her colleagues in the House.

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.
