Governor @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, please remember there is no greater expert than Alina Habba on the law of parking garages and your state has a lot of them! 😀

Turns out firing career diplomats and replacing them with Trump loyalists who learned international relations from Truth Social has consequences. Who knew. #holdfast

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

It is hard to imagine a more disrespectful ruling to a Cabinet Secretary (or one that is more deserved).

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now. #AccountabilityIsComing

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story. An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Here's part of Anderson Cooper's report last night, which did a good job of exposing the administration's lies: www.instagram.com/p/DT_zBaIgAxR/

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Unfortunate indeed.

This morning, I signed on to Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Secretary Noem & DHS employees have systemically violated the rights and privacy of Americans, terrorized our cities, and obstructed Congress.

If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

One of the wisest men (and best public speaker) I ever had the privilege of knowing (if but a little). The world is less for his absence apple.news/AYzlX4J3kRam...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Two former presidents felt compelled to comment publicly

Intro post since seeing lots of new faces. I’m an infectious diseases physician & researcher, with a focus on urinary infections and C. difficile. Passionate about public health, politics, & healthcare reform. Post about all of the above, plus COVID, life in Minneapolis, & dog pics 👍🏻 Hi and welcome!

Still spot-on.

Time to de-ICE

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com President Trump “is now basically running our country the way he ran his companies — as a one-man show free to make terrible deals. That management style led to six bankruptcy filings by his companies,” our columnist Thomas Friedman writes.

A good friend - Canada - is a friend who can speak honestly

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/U0fviLiM

It is not up to the armed forces to put a stop to Trump’s ghastly ideas of war against NATO. The United States is not run by the military, nor should it be. Americans, and their elected representatives, must take this burden away from the armed forces—now. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

We have truly reached the "mad king" stage of Trump 2.0 www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply. Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

I truly wonder how Republican lawmakers face their loved ones: “Honey, what did you do at work today?” “Well, it was just another day of swallowing my dignity, ignoring my role as a member of a coequal branch while President Trump violate another law or norm.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/o...

A tragic loss of excellence and national capacity www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Which corrupt tyrant will be toppled next?

Five years ago.

The Truth about Venezuela.

More importantly, what does it mean when you think it paints a good picture to constantly report you have aced it and there is nobody in your inner circle who can advise you that perhaps it is not a good look.

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

Is our major news media environment so broken that what this stunt by an uneducated you-tuber is news worthy?

A year ago, I was concerned that we would be in a much worse place by now. We all face more challenges to come. But be hopeful. I am.
