Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

It is Wednesday, February 11. The Super Bowl was three days ago. The sun will die in approximately five billion years. Death comes inexorably for us all. And large portions of MAGA and the Trump administration are still talking about Bad Bunny's halftime show:

MAGA absolutely cannot let Bad Bunny go
Denying his Super Bowl success is a way to try to assert Trump's cultural control.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Now they've arrested Don Lemon. It's not a crime to report the news or question the President of the United States. It's our constitutional right as Americans.

In 2010, the Supreme Court upended campaign finance law and allowed corporations to dominate our elections. 16 years later, the impact of Citizens United has been devastating to our democracy. We need to overturn Citizens United & end this flood of corporate money into our political system.
