There is no credible excuse for the ten Democrats who voted to censure Congressman Al Green. None.
It is a cowardly capitulation to asymmetrical warfare from the GOP out of fear, at best, and incompetent political opportunism at worst.
And I will not forget those who tossed him aside. Ever.

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t.
If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am.
This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Today, the Governor of Iowa signed a bill removing gender identity as a protected class in state law, the first time any state has removed a protected class in our country’s history.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.
