The grift is blatant and real yet main stream media is too afraid to report. Follow @juddlegum.bsky.social who follows the money and reports the grift.

Last week, there were 3 Trump corruption scandals in 4 days that would define any other presidency. I bet most people are not even AWARE of all three scandals. Were you? Let me know in the replies.

While Minnesotans are doing everything they can to get by, MAGA politicians are cutting food assistance — even before the shutdown. 😡

Dottie is one of 440,000 Minnesotans who count on #SNAP. Minnesota can and must be a #FullPlateState, where everyone eats & no one is left behind. 🍽️

Remember this is beyond party. This fight is the people against the billionaires and those protecting them. We ALL deserve healthcare.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

@shutterstock.com I was dismayed to learn that what I thought was a one time purchase of an image somehow signed me up for an annual subscription. When I went to cancel I was told I had to pay an early cancellation fee of $145! I would really appreciate a full pro-rated refund!

A week ago, a tragic school shooting shook Minnesota. Most Americans want stronger gun laws, but barriers in our democracy keep blocking action.

We deserve a system where our voices—not special interests—protect our freedom to live and learn in safety.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Yes, and the markets are believing it without any evidence. My money says there'll be some 'deal' announced, very light on details and with none of the critical issues addressed.

Juan Carlos Lopez Gomez will be held in jail for the next 48 hours because he is under an ICE hold. He is a U.S. citizen born in Georgia.

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

We had a night!

1. Susan Crawford crushed Schimel in WI, an absolute landslide.
2. Cory Booker lit up the Senate floor making history.
3. FL01: +17pts toward Dems since Nov!
4. FL06: +19pts toward Dems since Nov!

This momentum’s real. Let’s keep pushing.

We ALL do better when we can afford stable housing. Rallies across the metro took place to address the statewide housing shortage. We need Democrats to step up and support zoning reform vs rolling over to pressure from lobbyists! @ISAIAHMN #YestoHomes
