Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Holy shit. The Minneapolis rich power brokers are so foul.

Ethically, Andy Brehm should tell readers he’s a Jacob Frey donor. Journalistically, Star Tribune editors must. www.startribune.com/dsa-public-s...

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

Local officials going at each other over the Lake St raid is exhausting. The tactics were clearly just a Trumpian middle finger to Minneapolis. The city has regularly collaborated with federal law enforcement on gangs & violent crime for the past couple years without incident.

I thought Saturn went out of business …

Voted for Marco Rubio who’s deporting students with a signature

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.

Millennials are a goldilocks generation raised in the narrow window between leaded gasoline and social media and hooooo boy is that showing these days

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Minnesota House Democrats are holding constituent meetings during their boycott, hoping they will deflect from a barrage of attacks from Republicans and their allies who are pounding Democrats for their Capitol absence.

I mentioned this yesterday, but R’s wouldn’t negotiate a shared agreement. Won’t seat Tabke after court ruling, suing to stop election in 40B. Where’s the outage directed at them? D’s only other recourse was to roll over and accept it.

Craziness.

Republicans in Minnesota basically doing a little coup, electing a speaker with no quorum, as DFLers have boycotted the start of #mnleg session.

They are going against the Secretary of States ruling of no quorum.
