Dear Congressman Pete Stauber
What did you tell them when they asked why you supported Trump's decision to pardon the criminals who beat up and brutalized police officers who defended you while you found a place to hide on Insurrection Day? Did they ask, or did you just bring it up on your own?

Worn this shirt countless times in the past and nobody ever said anything to me.
Wore it today grocery shopping and three different people came up to me and told me they loved it. One lady even said “perfect timing for it.”
Things are different now…

The Trump administration has snuffed out a plan to ban menthol cigarettes, handing a victory to the tobacco industry after it waged a massive and at times deceptive lobbying campaign.

Just one day after hearing oral arguments in the dispute between DFLers and Republicans in the state House, the Minnesota Supreme Court Friday found in favor of the DFL: a quorum to conduct any business in the House is 68 seats. buff.ly/40Boh3Y
Supreme Court: Minnesota House ‘dysfunctional.’ Should we act?
At issue before the court is whether the current 67 Republican members constitute a quorum needed for the Minnesota House to do business.
