Kristi Noem came to Minnesota today to spread cruelty, not solutions. Her attacks on immigrant families don’t make our state safer — they just stoke more fear, confusion, and hurt.

We will never be a state for that kind of politics.

The Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB) is actively helping federal employees and contractors impacted by the shutdown. We’ll be making a $5,000 donation to help. If you have anything extra to give, please consider donating to them or to a local food bank near you, every bit helps! 🙏

It’s been over 2 weeks since AOC said Stephen Miller was weak and puny. Fox is still talking about it.

I wonder if there is a word for a system where the military is privately funded.

“.. perhaps the most cruel and unlawful offense the Trump administration has perpetrated yet — freezing funding already enacted into law to feed hungry Americans while he shovels tens of billions of dollars .. to Argentina and into his ballroom.”

NC GOP gerrymandering cost me my seat in Congress and robbed Democrats of a majority in the House.

I spoke with @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com about it after the last election.

Mark my words: Unless blue states start acting with a real sense of urgency, it’ll happen again.

Funny thing about the internet, it has long-term memory, something Trump has actually lost in his late stage of dementia.

Denouncing modern art (AKA "Degenerate Art") was the only part of the Nazi playbook that had been missing from Stephen Miller's commentaries.

Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats & the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.
