This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Just an FYI: We’re not facing a “government shutdown.” This is a Trump-MAGA Republican shutdown. Call it what it is.

This isn’t garden-variety incompetence. This is “the FBI is being run by a guy who looks like he wandered in after losing a bet at Buffalo Wild Wings” incompetence.

The murders of Charlie Kirk and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman are part of a dangerous rise in political violence.
We cannot accept this as the norm.
We must do whatever we can to reduce the anger and hate that are consuming and destroying so much of the country.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers.
Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.
Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work.
It was a hoax.

Joni Ernst is a POS: "Illegals" don't get Medicaid benefits. Medicaid is not money mailed to people. Medicaid PAYS health bills. My mom's memory care was paid for by Medicaid. And it's HARD as HELL to qualify. Undocumented people sometimes pay IN thru taxes. They do NOT get friggin' benefits. Bitch.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Damn, y'all, I've heard some cruel and bizarre statements from politicians in my lifetime, but Sen. Joni Ernst saying this directly to her constituents during a town hall regarding concerns over cuts to Medicaid is an all-timer. Jesus.

No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.
