Two of the biggest mistakes in US history:
1. Not treating the defeated Confederates like the Germans treated the defeated Nazis after WWII.
2. Not convicting and removing donald trump from office after January 6th.

Can’t believe we’ve lost Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. She was a consummate Speaker who led her caucus brilliantly and achieved so much for Minnesota. I’ve campaigned with Melissa throughout the state and was forever impressed by her levelheaded, yet passionate, leadership. (1/2)

I am shaking and crying. This is not the Minnesota you and I grew up in and love. And this is not the country that we grew up in and love. We are in a dark, dark time.
Melissa loved her caucus and fought hard for them and Minnesotans. The world lost a great human being today and a great leader. (2/2)

I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces.
Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into.
(It will also escalate from here.)

Q: Have you uncovered evidence that anything was signed without Biden's knowledge?
TRUMP: I don't think Biden would know
Q: I'm asking if you've uncovered any information
TRUMP: No. But I've uncovered the human mind. I was in a debate with the human mind.

Thanks to Trump, it’s getting harder to afford the basics—groceries, gas and the list goes on.
That’s what happens when leaders protect billionaires and leave working families with the bill.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

SCOOP: Rep. Mikie Sherrill is introducing a bill that would require special government employees to undergo routine drug testing.
That would apply to a fair number of DOGE staffers — and to Elon Musk.
