This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

Pete Buttigieg was the target of an anonymous report police determined was false and that he says forced him to spend a night away from his four-year-old twins. A police officer told him they believed it was politically motivated. He said the 24-hour ordeal was “among the darkest hours of my life.”

The running mate of the Republican-endorsed candidate for Minnesota governor was on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on Congress and says he has “no regrets” about his participation in protests that turned to violent riots.

What is Leon Black hiding? Because, if he isn’t hiding anything, why did he walk out of his Transcribed Interview in the Epstein investigation today? We will get answers. Nobody is above the law.

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

"The DOJ’s attempt to force Gov. Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, AG Keith Ellison, and both the Ramsey and Hennepin County Boards of Commissioners to provide vast amounts of documents relating to immigration enforcement could not have failed more miserably." — @snipy.bsky.social

BREAKING on MS NOW: House Oversight just issued two subpoenas to billionaire and Epstein associate Leon Black — after he refused to answer questions about allegations that he signed NDAs with young women. One subpoena is for Black to appear under oath on 7/16. The other is for the NDAs themselves.

Good advice for Vlad.

Hey Trump: You were right. There is election fraud. And as usual it's coming from the GOP!! "Sen. Thomas Pischke (R-SD) is set to step away from his party duties as he faces two felony counts for forgery in election documents" www.mediaite.com/politics/top...

You know who else has never assimilated? Everyone who keeps flying that fucking Confederate flag.

Senator Tina Smith is a leading advocate for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in northern Minnesota. Last year, Senator Smith introduced the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection Act to put permanent protections in place for the area. #WeAreAmerica250

Sen. Ossoff tried to ban Senators from trading stocks and crypto. Republicans blocked him.

This is Vinnie. He just got a new splish splash pad and literally can't contain his excitement. Thinks this is going to be the best summer ever. 13/10 (FB: Claudia Carr)

THIS 👇 HERE IS TRUE......👍🏼

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Not just dead last in Presidential rankings, but a truly loathsome "human" being in his own right & the worst thing that ever happened to this country. Someone should post this on "Truth" Social or Fox "News" so he would actually see it. #Embarrassment_In_Chief

Stephen Miller was reportedly the driving force behind the DOJ's recent memo authorizing states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care

This is Ralphie. He has splotches of black in his fur due to a rare and harmless genetic mutation. Likes to think of himself as a Rorschach test where everyone just sees a cutie patootie. 14/10 (IG: ralphie_showcocker)

Maria Shriver is a Peabody and Emmy Award-winning journalist and producer, a bestselling author, and former First Lady of California. She is the founder of the Women's Alzheimer's Movement at Cleveland Clinic and The Sunday Paper, and the co-founder of MOSH.

Her own husband was murdered in the US. In broad daylight. While Trump was president. There people simply refuse to join us in the real world.

For Trump's apologists, pretending you're stupid has become a full-time job.

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time. If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.

this week on catfished

A federal judge has canceled the DOJ's subpoenas of Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other Minnesota elected officials as part of an investigation into whether they obstructed immigration enforcement during Operation Metro Surge.

Blistering opinion from Minn district court quashing the administration's subpoenas of Minn public officials up to Walz. Court finds 1) would violate the 10th Amendment's "anti-commandeering principle" by telling states what to do and 2) obviously political retaliation. I have a youtube coming soon.

"The recovery of Ukraine after the war will, in large part, depend on what happens to Ukraine's children who have suffered greatly," writes Irwin Redlener, Senior advisor to the Institute for Global Politics at Columbia University, in his op-ed.

From the Minnesota Star Tribune Editorial Board: As U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen brings sweeping charges against protesters, the agents involved in the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have yet to face charges.

Donald Trump is a shameless pathological liar who never takes responsibility for his obvious failures. Exhibit A: Iran. Exhibit B: The reflecting pool. In the latter case, the fact that people have been arrested as “vandals” so he can shift the blame off himself is disgraceful.

“Who would do such a thing?” You. You did it.

We *don't* arrest men who sexually abused children with Jeffrey Epstein because Donald Trump is guilty and scared. But we *do* arrest men who simply place their hand in the Reflecting Pool because Donald Trump is angry and embarrassed.

Thanks,Governor Newsom......

Lo, yesterday we all got a break from the fascist trainwreck. We got to remember, if only for a moment, what it was like to have a president who was smart and cool and not a criminal.

The Special Olympics USA Games will be at the University of Minnesota and in Blaine beginning Saturday and continuing until June 26.

Watching a flu outbreak sweep through a major military training installation after Hegseth pointlessly politicized the vaccine requirement is a reminder that viruses are unimpressed by amateur political theater. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

What are the odds of TWO master orators married to one another? Listening to them speak was uplifting, inspirational and exhilarating. A reminder of another, better time when leaders spoke to our better angels & offered hope & optimism rather than divisive vulgarisms. #ChangeIsComingNovember3rd

🚨 TRUMP SPARKS DIPLOMATIC CRISIS WITH ITALY: Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has canceled his planned June 21–22 trip to Washington after President Trump insulted Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, claiming she “begged” for a photo with him at the G7 and that he “felt sorry for her.” 1/

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years. Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

We used to have presidents who exhibited character, honesty, integrity, kindness, and empathy. Those are all things that I think all of us long for once again. We were reminded today by Barack Obama that we can have that.

Trump finding creative new ways to embarrass himself and alienate our allies

Friends, a month from now, I’ll be releasing my book, THIS IS THE PLAN. Today, I’m delighted to announce something else: THIS IS WISCONSIN. 🧵

Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

Such a good girl….

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

My God. The opening ceremony of the Obama Center is a beautiful display of American hope, diversity, and integrity. What a contrast to the pathetically stupid display at the White House last weekend.
