This is entirely avoidable and completely unacceptable. Not even newborn babies are safe from their cruelty. It has to stop.

I wrote about Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who was supposed to be one of the few bipartisan, competent cabinet picks and ended up a MAGA dittohead and a corrupt abusive nightmare. Moral being; all Trump appointees are venal fascist disasters. every one.

The demise of Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Trump's clown cabinet
Her brief, ignominious tenure is illustrative of deep dysfunction.

Minnesota Confederates self-identify by flying the old state flag, trying to trigger the libs; here’s a perfect response from

The Minnesota flag flies more proudly today than at unveiling
The Minnesota flag means more today after becoming a unifying symbol during the ICE occupation — at least for some Minnesotans.

Great event with Friends of the Boundary Waters last night! It's clear that Minnesotans want to protect our wilderness and water. When it comes to toxic copper sulfide mining in Minnesota, we say "not this mine, not this place."

So instead of doing literally anything to actually make health care more accessible or affordable... they just pass a bill congratulating themselves on things they haven't done.

Everyone deserves mental health care, regardless of their age, where they live, or how much money they make. The lack of access to affordable care not only hurts patients, but also their families and communities. (1/2)

Thank you Rep

for fighting for our health & environment. This is an INSANE betrayal of the health of our nation. Republicans DO NOT CARE about the air you breathe or the attack on our health by allowing polluters to destroy air quality.

Stop the cuts! Inspired to see so many Minnesotans coming together to demand the Trump Administration end its attacks on Medicaid, Social Security, and SNAP—just to fund tax breaks for billionaires. The rule of law is under attack but we are not powerless, and we’re fighting back 🇺🇸💙

A mix of emotions this Earth Day. In the last week alone, the Republican majority has rolled back critical clean air and water protections, and opened up our public lands to toxic mining.

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

Someone having been convicted of seditious conspiracy is an enemy of the United States. Pardoning, or vacating, their conviction would have to be considered “giving aid/comfort to the enemy.”

Every single Republican in Congress must go on the record today and answer this question: Do you support the President threatening to wipe out an entire civilization? Congress needs to return to DC immediately to end this war and stop this madness.

Talk of Congress calling for the 25th is useless. Congress can not start the process and the VP and cabinet are not going to start it. What Congress needs to do is replace Speaker Johnson with Kamala, then impeach both Trump and Vance.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

One year since Trump announced his "Liberation Day" tariffs and small businesses are still reeling. From tariffs, to ICE operations, to now the war in Iran, Trump continues to create a choatic, costly, and completely unpredictable environment to run a business.
