“He’s fucking smug and weird." –Jon Favreau on JD Vance.

In Trump's America, if you are a fraudster, pedophile, insurrectionist, drug trafficker, or neo-nazi, you get a pardon. But if you're an elected leader who speaks out against the Trump Administration, you get investigated. This is not justice.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

PRESSLEY: We just agreed that fraud is unacceptable. So do you oppose the pardon of George Santos? ROBBINS: I would have to look at the law and the facts of the case PRESSLEY: Don't deflect. This is not a complicated question.

Rep. Emma Greenman with an important message on the fifth anniversary of the January 6th attack on the Capitol:

So proud of our LG and proud to endorse her run for U.S. Senate! This is the seat of Paul Wellstone who would be proud as all get out to see her take this leap. Run Peggy Run!!! #wealldobetter when we all do better #nocorporatePACfunds #minnesotastrong

Democrat David Gottfried defeated GOP opponent Paul Wikstrom in a Tuesday special election to fill a vacant House seat representing Roseville and Shoreview.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Today the House GOP introduced bills to: - Roll back paid family leave - Restrict reproductive rights - Cut public schools - Roll back action on climate change House Dems will fight this extreme MAGA agenda. And due to the power sharing agreement we secured we will hold the line.

HERE'S SOMETHING NEW: I'm running for DFL Treasurer! We need: - A strong budget and supported staff - A transparent and accessible party, without billionaire influence - A party that invites people in - A party that makes it easy to activate and participate What do you want to see from the DFL?

Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed. Look at all the good people. And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.
