Stock image of a guy in a novelty tuxedo t-shirt. No head is shown, so possibly it’s the Vice President.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shahe... © @shaheen.senate.gov Follow At a time when costs on basic needs—from housing to child care-are all going up, extending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits is one of the most immediate and effective ways to provide relief to families' budgets. The American people are counting on us to get this done. November 7, 2025 at 3:29 PM @

Does our new sign configuration adequately convey the message that we support not ranking Frey and @dewayneforminneapolis.com is our top choice?

I am reading Cat’s Cradle for the first time. Vonnegut, as ever, is brilliant, hilarious, and prescient. This passage sent me. #protein
Excerpt from Cat’s Cradle, page 26: "He said science was going to discover the basic secret of life someday," the bartender put in. He scratched his head and frowned. "Didn't I read in the paper the other day where they'd finally found out what it was?" "I missed that," I murmured. "I saw that," said Sandra. "About two days ago." "That's right," said the bartender. "What is the secret of life?" I asked. "I forget," said Sandra. "Protein," the bartender declared. "They found out something about protein." "Yeah," said Sandra, "that's it."

NOOOOO!! I’ve been fearing this day for a while because I knew US Internet was too good to last. Low price, extremely fast, totally reliable. Now that they’ve sold out to T-Mobile, I assume they’ll degrade the service and raise the price, in the true fashion of American capitalism 🫡
Email from US Internet: Dear Customer, We're excited to share some big news— US Internet is now part of the T-Mobile Fiber family at T-Mobile! What happened? US Internet has joined T-Mobile and is now part of their T-Mobile Fiber Home Internet service, a new product line that is quickly expanding.

If we’re able to publish speculation on a psychiatric disorder based on a single letter on page A1 of the Strib, surely there’s room for more acknowledgment of the president’s obvious cognitive decline.

Picture of a StarTribune article opening lede: “Vance Boelter's letter to the FBI about his alleged shootings of Minnesota lawmakers reveals grandiose beliefs about his importance in the world and suggests a delusional disorder, according to a former clinical director of the Minnesota Security Hospital.”

Absolutely perfect encapsulation of Republican worldview: “I support government funding that benefits me and my loved ones as individuals, but oppose funding that benefits people who are not me.” From today’s @startribune.com
Excerpt from Star Tribune: “David Morris, 79, approved of proposed Medicaid cuts and President Donald Trump’s job performance, even though the retired Bemidji assistant principal opposed cuts to federal research funding. Research produced cutting-edge therapies that treated his wife’s metastatic lung cancer, he said. “Otherwise I’m a very conservative Republican, but we’ve got to do research to keep people alive,” he said.”
