"Do not tell me we cannot afford Medicare for All," the senator said. "What we cannot afford is a broken healthcare system based on greed."

People pay good money for this in January.

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

I have not breathed air that crappy ever. Crap crap crap air.

Two convoys of more than 12 vehicles left Whipple before 8am today.

Observers counted 58 vehicles leaving Whipple last week. They got a pair of roofers in Richfield over the weekend. They are kidnapping our neighbors at pace.

America: Love it or list it.

Let this grab ahold of you tightly.

New article! Where is America going? On Trump's July 4 disaster, the stolen sovereignty of the US, the leftist primary wins, and the plan to merge the US and Israeli militaries. Also, Vanilla Ice: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/stop-colla...

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

Most corporations are assholes. Today, specifically T-Mobile can go eat shit.

The shittiest people in my neighborhood have Mike Lindell signs up in their yard, because of course they do.

JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

People can have different political opinions about immigration policy. Political differences are fine, healthy for a democracy. But if you’re okay with this, that’s not a political opinion. That is a moral failing. 27/

Together we are America. Man. I need that energy for president.

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

Not that we endorsed anyone, but I'm really heartened by all the pro-Peggy Flanagan love. @peggyflanagan.bsky.social

There's some sort of argument over legalizing weed in Ward 4 whatever precinct that is. So. I don't know why they have two precincts in one room. But they seem to be having more fun.

I'm at a caucus. That's how pissed off I am.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

#OnThisDay Feb 1, 1942: Vidkun Quisling becomes Minister President of Norway, actively supporting Nazi war efforts and the deportations of his own people to concentration camps. His name becomes a famous eponym for those who collaborate with enemy forces occupying their own country.

Tom Emmer lies about his own constituents: "If you go to my state, the pictures you're seeing of these mobs in Minneapolis, these are paid agitators and protesters. Yeah, you got some Minnesotan anarchists that are in there, but they are people coming from outside our state."

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

If there’s one thing we’re all talking about in Minnesota, it’s coffee prices. You can barely walk down the street without someone shrieking, “nearly fifteen percent!”

Senator Amy Klobuchar@klobuchar.senate.gov · 7mo ago

Trump's reckless tariffs have driven up coffee prices by nearly 15% since last summer.   Your morning cup shouldn't cost more because of the administration's trade policies.  www.nerdwallet.com/finance/lear...

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

We profiled refugees who: Arrived in the country legally. Applied for green cards. Were arrested by ICE and detained. One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released. This is an unprecedented operation. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

They ‘Had Done Everything Right.’ ICE Detained Them Anyway.

This badass runs a local bookstore. The guy who runs Amazon was at the White House on Saturday to watch a private screening of MELANIA, the bribeumentary.

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.
