Today's GOP: "Look, if I could have been more corrupt and gotten even richer out of it, I totally would have done it. What's the problem?"
BREAKING: Listen to this.
Reporter: "Your husband bought stock in Elon Musk's xAI days before the Pentagon expanded its role. Can you assure us it wasn’t based on inside info?”
Representative Lisa McClain: “100%. If it was, we would've bought a heck of a lot more."

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem.
I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Even when they don't, both parties pump out constant rhetoric about "real Americans" living in rural areas.
The entire premise of this article is a conservative-fluffing myth. Cities have more political power because that's where most people live!

".. when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”

What’s most useful to my office right now are experiences that are specific and as detailed and direct as possible. In order to highlight certain impacts in Court, we may need to speak with eyewitnesses or those directly involved, rather than just collecting stories you have heard secondhand.

Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

As a citizen, you may not get deported but you may get detained at the federal building for many hours until someone brings your identity documents. But anyone who is non-white is a target for harassment and questioning by these armed masked goons.

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

Madison Sheahan is a 28-year-old former political aide to Kristi Noem with little law enforcement experience before being named ICE Deputy Director. Prior reporting said she was mocked internally as "fish cop" because she somehow got made director of Louisiana Fish and Wildlife in 2024.

If Walz calls up the National Guard and Trump retaliates with the actual fucking military, are you going to take care of my aunt in the hospital? Are you going to take care of my kids? It's scary right now with these fuckers running through my city, I don't want to get the Air Force involved.
You've been on this same schtick for over a month now, while things have gotten progressively worse for your constituents.

The problem with negotiating with Trump is that he’s irrational and doesn’t really have normal objectives.
So you can sometimes get the world from him by giving him an ugly trophy and sometimes there’s nothing you could ever do to sate him because his ask is insane (Greenland is now fully his).

based on the press conferences: shot called
i suspect the Greenlanders and Danes pointed this out during their meeting and Rubio was probably like "okay we can probably sell this as a win to Trump"
but i think his map painting tendencies are understated and his desire to expand America is too

Notice how the murder of a woman by an immigrant (with like, one example) is a horrific violation that requires the entirety of ICE to be mobilized to fight this, and then when ICE murders a woman it’s like “that lesbian bitch had it coming for her”?

If your concern is the rule of law, you should support amnesty for illegal immigrants, so as to avoid the creation of a permanent underclass that is alienated from the protections of law
Also no one ACTUALLY cares about immigration enforcement for general rule-of-law reasons. If your interest is in the rule of law, you wouldn't come up with immigration as an area of concern in a hundred years
