ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.

Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

I just spoke with Homeland Security to get more information and I will share when I learn more.

The University of Minnesota is an international destination for education and research. We have any number of students studying here with visas, and we need answers.

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Donald Trump does not reign supreme.
The law is not optional for him.
He is an executive—not a monarch.

Congress makes the laws.
Courts interpret our laws.
We all learned that in grade school.

And the courts will be an important venue for holding Donald Trump accountable.

At some point, and hopefully soon, the national guard will need to be called in to arrest the capitol security police who are enforcing illegal EOs.

They have a duty to refuse illegal orders and uphold the constitution
