Airports say they won’t air political footage of Noem blaming the government shutdown an on Democrats.
The video clearly violates the Hatch Act which prohibits government employees from engaging in political activities.

Marshall, MO.

I head into rural Republican districts across the state and country and I organize the Democrats in those red spaces. I am a cheerleader for these Democrats. I remind them that they are not alone, and they are a force for change.

I will never stop.

Just west of Fort Qu’Appelle in Saskatchewan, the Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation is working across the US border to revive centuries-old trade routes as part of a new Indigenous-governed trade corridor.

From our friends at @nationalobserver.com:

Indigenous nations plan a tariff-free trade corridor across the US-Canada border
