Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Same in Australia. Anyone who leans towards the Republican ideals is either not elected or are in the minority. We will never let them dominate. Very few of our 27.5 Million people actually own a gun or want to own a gun, and religion is a preference not shoved down your throat.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

For the past month, we’ve been celebrating the contributions of Minnesota’s Latino communities - from business to technology to the arts.

Great to see that work in action today at the Alebrijes: Keepers of the Island art exhibit on Raspberry Island.

🤔 Just a reminder, the farmers are feeling it, rural hospitals are feeling it, ACA insurance holders are feeling it. And TrumpIsAFelon is just getting started. His big ugly bill is really set to explode after the 2026 mid-terms.
