People are asking what they can do to help Minnesota. Come to our state, because it’s a beautiful place. Meet our people. Support our small businesses. Take in a concert. For months, Minnesotans showed the world that we are all neighbors. As soon as you visit, you’ll understand.

Dr. Oz appears to have invited Jeffrey Epstein to a Valentines Day party in 2016, long after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with underage girls.

Bill Maher: Trump ended government legal authority to regulate what causes pollution. The EPA cannot protect us against pollution. Stephanie Ruhle: The president invited oil and gas executives to Mar-A-Lago, and he, if you deliver me $1B in campaign donations, I will pay you back in spades.

I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid. I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

Thank you Cory and Korey for an incredible Winter Olympics. You've made Minnesota proud! 🥌

OH PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 BREAKING: Rumors are swirling in DC that Bill Clinton will spill the beans on EVERYTHING he knows about Epstein & tRumpstein, leading not only to impeachment, but prosecution!! This might be why tRumpstein is suddenly so nice to the Clintons... 🥲

Federal judge: "The presumption of regularity that has previously extended to [the United States Government] that it could be taken at its word—with little doubt about its intentions and stated purposes—no longer holds." This is in a case where the Trump admin sued Oregon.

Just because we aren't totally surprised, doesn't mean we can shrug it off. Decency, dignity, and humanity matter, even now. Especially now.

you're deporting and killing people who are on the inside and who have lived most of their lives here. Johnson doesn't realize it and wouldn't agree with it, but his love/hate line is an argument for amnesty.

NEW: A federal judge orders Trump to restore funding for the Hudson River tunnel project.

"Trumps 10 Billion payout, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent conceded to Senators, would come from American taxpayers." I truly believe Trump is going to steal our social security.

Correction: It would lead to impeachment in a democracy, or in any country with a socially-sophisticated population. America has neither.

And they told Rep. Thomas Massie and me this was a hoax and conspiracy when we risked our reputations and careers to pursue the release of the files.

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

“Our family doesn’t agree on everything, but we’ve always led with love and respect.” — Luke Ganger honoring his sister Renee Good and urging all of us to choose compassion over division.

Renee Good’s brother Brent Ganger: “Renee believed kindness mattered, and she lived that belief even when things were hard.” Renee’s life shows how ordinary acts of care and compassion can push back the darkness.

A Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Minneapolis is really a recognition of people power and it’s the first time a whole city has been put forward for the prize.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say ‘ICE out.’” Bad Bunny condemns ICE while accepting the Grammy award for Best Música Urbana Album. The artist is set to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show next Sunday.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

I'll be honest, I don't expect fair elections for the midterms. But I'm going to push for voting anyway because we can't just hand this country over to them. We've got to fight to the bitter end to restore Democracy in this country.

Folds on the Kennedy Center 3 weeks ago: I was sick to my stomach when I quit because I knew they were going to run it into the ground. No one that they were appointing had any experience in arts administration, but that was never the point. The point was to take that, run over it, and move on.

The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.

Donald Trump is already laying the groundwork to throw the 2026 midterms into chaos. His success could have dire consequences for American democracy, @dgraham.bsky.social argues. (From November)

.@PabloReports: What do you make of Trump being mentioned 38,000 times in the Epstein files? Swalwell: That’s 38,000 more times than most people I know, and that’s 38,000 reasons why people want to know why he won’t come in and sit for an interview.

Swalwell: Nobody wants to perform there. Everyone who had been booked is now canceling since this guy put his name on it. I think he’s trying to save himself the humiliation of no one wanting to perform there or go there.

The same data set mentioned below shows the total number of people in immigrant detention passing the 70,000 mark for the first time on the public record. Keep in mind that number does not include people held in untraditional facilities, like hotels and office buildings.

Donald Trump’s temporary closure of the Kennedy Center is an acknowledgement that his initial makeover strategy was a failure, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

AOC: Why haven’t so many people been prosecuted? Why are Pam Bondi and the DOJ continuing to hide the majority of the Epstein files, which they admit contain even more direct evidence of genuinely shocking crimes and abuse of women, minors, and increasingly men…

AOC on Epstein Files: We need to get to the bottom of it. It does not matter if you are a Republican, Democrat, or donor. We are talking about sexual crimes and trafficking.

Even more career prosecutors are leaving the U.S. Attorney's office. This is a major setback for public safety and a major loss for our state and country. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

So weird that the guy they chose to direct the Melania Bribe-Umentary was a Me Too-canceled has been pictured with Epstein and another Epstein-backed child sex trafficker who also *killed himself* in prison So many coincidences!

Omar: I instinctively tried to, like, punch him…, I was raised with three brothers who were older than me. You learn that maybe taking the first punch when somebody is bigger than you yields you better results.

Governor Tim Walz warns of a national unraveling in an interview with @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social. “It’s worse than you think,” Walz says of the situation in Minnesota.

Judge in Minnesota issues blistering ruling to block Trump Admin. from detaining refugees awaiting resident status: "Refugees have a legal right to be in the United States, a right to work, a right to live peacefully—and importantly, a right not to be subjected to the terror of being arrested"

smart and moral. that's the Irish. now do the Epstein files.
