For over 30 years, I have lived in the Northern Minnesota town where Bob Dylan grew up. His songs influenced me for 20 years before I learned he was from Minnesota. I support fearless compassion.

A picture is worth a thousand words. As Donald Trump delivered a rambling, hyper-political speech, America's top military leaders sat in disciplined, stone-faced silence. Their professionalism stood in stark contrast to the partisan rally they were forced to attend. And their faces say it all.

just the hubris on this guy! like every chauvinist mediocrity, he sincerely believes he is a top specimen, the pinnacle of human achievement.
Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

I’m still processing what happened this morning.

Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

Too many Minnesotans feel like the bottom could fall out at any moment. I know what that’s like.

My hardworking single mom relied on public schools, public housing, and Medicaid to get by.

That's why I'm running for Senate - to be a loud, clear voice for families like mine.

As a very young girl, The Diary of Anne Frank was one of my favorite books. Never in a million years did I think we would be living through something like this. 😢

Sanders: Our life expectancy is about four years less than in other wealthy countries.

If you’re working class in America, you live 7-8 years shorter than people who are wealthy. Now, why is that?

The answer is not just healthcare. But it is the day-to-day stress that working people live under.

An entire sea cannot sink a ship unless the water gets inside of the ship. The same with the negativity of the world: it can’t bring you down unless you let it get inside of you. We cannot control what happens around us, but we can control our reaction to it. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊
