🍺🇨🇦 So Minneapolis didn't win a Nobel Peace Prize, but not a bad consolation prize: "Canadians love the resistance of Minneapolis. If you are from Minneapolis and you want to visit Canada, you should wear a Minneapolis t-shirt..."

As Senator, I'll be a voice for Minnesotans. Michele Tafoya will be a voice for MAGA extremists.

Michele Tafoya on January 6: "We have been told one side of the narrative, but there are so many stories from the Capitol that day ... these people were so mistreated by our justice system"

Q: China is one of the most repressive countries for journalists in the world-- TRUMP: Well, I don't know about that. I think we're repressive also

I'm not a big fan of celebs in politics, but after watching all of this, I think it's Jon Stewart, moreso than Fetterman, who should be in politics. Informed, mentally quick, unflappable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3BM...

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

What if it is not a civil war but just the natural evolution of a party at a moment of generational transition?

Moderate Democrats fear they’re on the verge of losing the party’s ideological civil war to progressives.

I need y’all to remember this: Trump gets to keep Air Force One. It cost taxpayers nearly $1 billion to upgrade, and before he leaves office, ownership transfers to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation, which he himself said is “most likely going to be a hotel.”

Congrats to Dr. Adam Hamawy on his resounding victory tonight in the NJ-12 primary! Special interests lost. Justice, dignity, and compassion won. I can’t wait to work alongside him to guarantee Medicare for All, end forever wars, and abolish ICE. 💪🏽

The Minnesota Republican Party holding a moment of silence for the man who brutally murdered George Floyd might be one of the most fucked up things I’ve ever read. Evil.

Salena@salena.bsky.social · 4mo ago

At the Republican convention today they opened with a moment of silence for…. Derek Chauvin. No, seriously. That’s the party we’re up against. We cannot let them win any state races or take control of the House or Senate in November. They had a moment of silence for a convicted murderer. #mnleg

Goodbye, get lost, and we'll see you soon.

Sen. Murkowski voted to strip protections from the Boundary Waters. Pleas call her DC office at (202) 224-6665 and tell her to switch her vote to a No vote tomorrow on HJR 140. The vote was 51-49!!! A changed vote by Murkowski would do the trick.

THE SENATE IS VOTING ON THE BOUNDARY WATERS RIGHT NOW! Tonight, while most people are watching TV or putting their kids to bed, the U.S. Senate is taking a vote that could permanently end protections for one of the most beloved wilderness areas in America.

RFK Jr. is about to take his final form: Anti-vaxx podcaster

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
