It was stated several times last night that Ghazala Hashmi is the first Muslim ever elected to statewide office. Keith Ellison, MN Attorney General won statewide election and has been serving since January 2019. In He was also the first Muslim sworn in to US Congress in 2007. Sworn in on the Koran.

Cathryn, take a second to pause before you speak. You are disrupting the flow. Are you questions furthering the conversation or a comment framed as a question with no answer. Take your lead from Ayman. I know you are new so I’m sure you room to grow into your role.

MSNBC send a more experienced field journalist to Minnesota. No Kings protests went on in St Paul. She reported people stayed home. False! Velshi was the best George Floyd national reporter. NBC and others forgot about MN until Walz was the VP candidate and then had to play catch up. Do Better!

It is traditional for the president to speak at one military academy graduation each year but who was his speech writer?

Please, Please share this story! In January 2007, Keith Ellison became the first Muslim sworn into Congress on Thomas Jefferson’s personal copy of the Koran hand delivered from the Library of Congress by a librarian and immediately returned. The Compassionate Conservatives were apoplectic. History.

This segment with Maya Wily and Paolo Ramos was excellent. As horrifying as the video made by El Salvador is it was important to show. We the people need to know what is being done in our name. Thank you!

If we can negotiate hostage returns from hostile countries we should be able to return a innocent man from El Salvador. We paid for them to be held there we can pay to bring them back.

This is tragic but not surprising. The Biden negotiated 3 phase plan was the first in decades to lay out a potential 2 state solution. Stage 2 was not of interest to Trump. Witkoff appears to have a bias towards Israel. Neither Trump or Witkoff appear to be putting pressure on Netanyahu.

Hey Symone, Tonight you and Michael didn’t seem to notice JD was on orders to call out any Democrats just like he was instructed to create a scene with Zelensky. He was constantly scanning the chambers looking for anyone who was out off line. He is Trump’s guard dog so DT looks good for TV.

Members of the Black Caucus did wear black t-shirts over their white dress shirts an under the suit jackets. Some left early. They removed their jackets and displayed messages visible on their backs as they walked out. Malcolm Frost’s t-shirt said NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
