A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Trump again uses the term “remigration,” which has neo-Nazi roots. He also claims ICE agents are being assaulted daily, something DHS has provided no evidence for.

How could Trump’s big bill affect Minnesota?

Melissa Hortman, an avid gardener, selected many of the newest trees on the Capitol Mall.
As hundreds gathered for a vigil, those trees stood as "living proof that the good that Hortman put out into the world isn’t going anywhere," writes columnist Jennifer Brooks.
