That was one huge CME the sun threw off the other day. Clearly visible aurora in the middle of Minneapolis MN.

Trump violates the Constitution by holding an office he is unfit for. I read Smith's revised indictment on J6 and the 14th Amendment. Together they're pretty clear he cannot hold office in our government!

Minneapolis friends, it is really disturbing to me how many signs I see iin support of Becka Thompson. She is racist, thin-skinned, allergic to nuance and deep thinking, and has proved herself to be utterly ineffective and bullheaded on the Park Board. Why would she be any different on City Council?

The craziest thing about Trump walking around on the roof of The White House is that he’s all over the Epstein Files and will do anything to distract us. But it ain’t going away.
