Minnesota showed up! #handsoff

This!!

This is devastating to the health of people, biomedical research and the med tech industry - “The FDA as we've known it is finished, with most of the leaders with institutional knowledge and a deep understanding of product development and safety no longer employed” former Commissioner Robert Califf

Happy Transit Employee Appreciation Week! If you are riding transit, pass along an extra thank you to those who make the system work!!

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

This week has been a lot but tonight is the clincher. I’m truly embarrassed to be an American.

Not just a very special idiot — the WORLD’S BIGGEST idiot!

I’m watching but not commenting myself. My husband says boy does he look old and when did he get that bald. #trump

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

I’m really tired of this timeline.

Let’s work together!

1) Don’t overturn the voters of Shakopee.
2) Share power and work together if we’re tied.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

We’re winning in Minnesota, fam. They tried an unconstitutional grab for power the people of Minnesota haven’t given them. We pushed back and won.

Now they need to come to the table, negotiate honestly, and get started with session properly.

Keep working. Keep the faith. Respect the voters. 🥰

UPDATE: Minnesota judge confirms Democrat Brad Tabke as the winner of the State House District 54A election, denying the Republican candidate's contest.

You cannot steal the seat of an elected official – or even talk about it – expecting there to be no consequences. This is an unprecedented move by the House GOP that affects every Minnesotan no matter what party they support. This is wrong.

This is a must-read and is also the first comprehensive post mortem I’ve read working off the vote cast data (which is the real deal) as opposed to the dubious exit polling.

Perhaps I've misunderstood all along and WaPo ownership views "Democracy dies in darkness" as aspirational.🤔

Happy to be on Bluesky. A mix of sad and optimistic. I remember when Twitter was fun and interesting. Hope to find that here.
