Yes, I would love to know!

Ranunculus would make a great hardcore band name. Just sayin.

A Minnesota federal judge has ordered the state’s top federal prosecutor and ICE officials to appear in his courtroom Tuesday to explain why they should not be held in civil or criminal contempt for what he alleges are repeated court violations.

"We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen, and sadly, there will likely be more before it ends.” President Trump released a new video message, saying America will avenge the deaths of fallen U.S. service members.

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Our goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism. WELKER: Does the the president have a plan to guarantee that happens? GRAHAM: No. It's not his job.

Been thinking about the rules journos made for themselves in the Trump era. Like: “cover what he DOES not what he SAYS” Well intentioned! But now I feel the responsible approach is more: “imagine the wildest thing he might do, and prep for that, JIC”

Q: Can you talk about the legal authority under which the federal govt pauses legally obligated funds, such as Medicaid? JD VANCE: Congress appropriates the money. We're the ones who actually make sure it actually goes to the people it ought to go to

It's felt for months now that the fed govt is doing everything it can, including acts of violence, to make the Twin Cities unlivable. Vance's announcement shows that effort continues even if Trump's thugs aren't killing people in the street rn. I just don't see how this can go on for 3 more years.

This is fucked up and we have to make all Republicans own this.

Dr Oz: "We're announcing a 6 month national moratorium blocking all new enrollments for durable medical equipment -- prosthesis, orthotics -- supplies across the board."

BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance says the Trump administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns.

JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

The full round 1 schedule is out for @marchxness.bsky.social! Log on for it ALL but especially March 3rd for my essay on the incredibly heteronormative sadness of Paula Cole’s Where Have All the Cowboys Gone 🏳‍🌈🐎 marchxness.com/schedule
