This 4th of July, I celebrated America's 250th with communities across Minnesota and reflected on the promise that has brought generations together. Thanks to everyone who welcomed us into your celebrations. Here's to keeping that promise for the next generation.

Seven years after this speech, Lewis Powell wrote the memo that launched the machine designed to dismantle every word of it. Medicare, Medicaid, voting rights, public education, consumer protection —all targets. The Great Society wasn’t destroyed because it failed. It was targeted because it worked.

Media disinformation. It's not like Senate Republicans are actually DOING anything to stop Trump's slush fund (e.g., passing legislation to bar it or suing to argue he's violating appropriations clause) or denying him a reconciliation bill to hand his domestic gestapo $75 billion.

Crimea’s liberation from Russian occupiers is only a matter of time. The Kerch Bridge is damaged and barely usable. Ferries are gone. Russia’s vital land corridor highway is now under Ukrainian drone control. Ukraine is systematically destroying Russian military equipment. The noose is tightening.

Great to see so many people this week out supporting Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid — an organization that provides legal services to Minnesotans in need. Thank you to keynote speaker Neal Katyal, whose commitment to the rule of law inspires lawyers across the country.

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

This week had some genuine bright spots. Trump's approval is down in the 30s and still dropping. Democrats are surging in the polls, and Virginia voters just handed them a redistricting win worth four new House seats. Oh, and The Onion now owns InfoWars. Gotta love the universe's sense of humor.

He’s in a no win scenario— Option one: follow through on being a maniacal and violent man all by himself, ultimately proving he is a weak bully. Option two: back down and be a weak bully. Either way, HE is the paper tiger.

Virginia has a special election April 21. The question: should VA redraw its congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders in TX, FL & NC that are stealing House seats? YES means we fight back. Early voting is open NOW. #VirginiaVoteYes

“On the morning of Vance’s European trip, Bloomberg revealed that Orbán told the Russian president in October 2025 that he was prepared to help Moscow “in any way” to win the war in Ukraine, adding: “In any matter where I can be of assistance, I am at your service.”

It's moments like the one we are in when I have to say: liberals were right. We were always right. Yet we will never get credit for being right, because being right is not valued in America. HRC was right. They called her a bitch.

“We can’t last 34 more months of what we’ve had happen over the last 14. He’s only going to get worse. He started a war that could tank the global economy without any end in sight and without any plan. We can’t survive this”
