Every Democrat going on air should take the first question and then say something like “Before I answer that I need to express my outrage and disgust at the president’s bigoted and vulgar insults about the Somali people. There is something seriously wrong with him. He is a sick man.”

If you welcomed a baby in 2025 you can apply to take bonding leave in 2026! Check out www.paidleave.mn.gov

This huge win is thanks to DFLers and only DFLers. No Republicans voted for it and they spent the last two years trying to destroy it before it even started. 🫶🏼
📢 New parents: You can start applying for Paid Leave NOW!

Paid Leave passed by DFLers in 2023 goes into effect January 1, 2026!

If you welcomed a baby in 2025, you can apply for up to 12 weeks of bonding leave in the new year. Learn more at paidleave.mn.gov.

Trumps entrance to We Are the World, the song produced specifically to raise money to fight famine in Africa, is the biggest middle finger to anyone not in that ballroom — f’ing disgusting.

He cut USAID and burned 500 tons of food. The projected death toll from his cruel policies are unimaginable.
Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.

Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

Worth noting that Levitt appears to no longer wear her cross necklace for press briefings, when previously she prominently displayed such necklaces. She could, of course, be wearing a smaller cross more discreetly, but that too marks a change.
