It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”
Military archbishop: Troops could refuse orders on Greenland
Speaking to Britain's Sunday program on BBC, Archbishop Timothy Broglio reiterated that conscience could permit refusal of an unjust military order.

We're not hearing enough about the good work @ag.state.mn.us Keith Ellison has been doing. Follow what the state AGs are doing if you need a little hopium every once in a while.
Great news: we have secured a temporary pause to Trump’s latest assault on the most vulnerable Minnesota families.
My team and I will be in court working to permanently block Trump’s illegal and deeply cruel actions.

Minnesota has to come first - always.
Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids.
I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

One of the most gratifying parts of my work in 2025 was supporting the build-out of a new state agency designed to finance clean energy. From $0 to $20M in lending in a few years, with hundreds of millions in the pipeline. Public sector-driven abundance, you might say. Read more 👇 #hugabureaucrat

Feeding Our Future scandal: the largest COVID relief fraud case in U.S. history had a ringleader, Aimee Bock, a white woman. She founded the nonprofit, ran the operation, and was convicted on wire fraud and bribery charges. Funny how the right never blamed white folks as a group for that fraud.

Fraud is fraud. It has no ethnicity.
That brings us to YouTuber Nick Shirley. He has a track record of posting videos that stir up fear about immigration. He once orchestrated a stunt involving paid day laborers in front of the WH to push racist narratives about migrant voting behavior.

Minnesota MAGA fraudster pardoned by Trump...not immigrants?
This is the very essence of Twitter under Musk. Did you know that the biggest Medicare fraudster in Minnesota—Philip Esformes—is a well known MAGA activist who was pardoned by Trump? He then moved to Florida, where he was arrested again for fraud activities. Medicare fraudsters should be prosecuted

SNAP funding expires this weekend and Minnesota steps up to partially fill in the gap. Our state's food shelves keep kids and families fed during tough times. But Bill Lieske has voted against funding for our food shelves. Who's he helping? I'm running to make sure our money is spent on our people.

Will MN Tennessen law hold?
Reminder that the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Minnesota and would hear any appeal first, has only one Democrat-appointed judge. You all know about the Supreme Court. Hopefully they draw a fair trial judge.
The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon over his refusal to provide the federal government with a copy of the state’s voter registration list.

Arresting interpreters who helped our service members and were promised sanctuary is dishonorable and cruel. History will not be kind. #IceRaids
This interpreter saved lives in Afghanistan and fled when he had a target on his back from the Taliban. His brother was granted asylum a few months ago with nearly identical documentation. ICE is fulfilling quotas, humanity be damned
