It’s funny how all of a sudden state’s rights don’t appear to be a concern for the GOP.

What’s stopping us from joining the ICC and letting them take care of The Trump Crime Syndicate? The world shouldn’t have to clean up after us, but these people deserve every punishment available to them for all the damage they’ve done to ppl in the US and around the world.

This administration is completely comprised of cringey weenies who take themselves so seriously they can’t see that most of us are just laughing at them when they do shit like this.

“I couldn’t possibly be racist, I’ve tutored in inner-city Minneapolis!” I don’t know, somehow his apology doesn’t exactly ring sincere. Also, wtf is “inner-city Minneapolis”? I live in the city and have never heard a single person use that phrase.

I am absolutely confounded that this race continues to poll so closely. Peggy Flanagan loves this state, is an intelligent and experienced public servant, and will absolutely make the lives of Minnesotans better. I genuinely don’t get what Tafoya has to offer people other than an R beside her name

Peggy Flanagan isn't responsible for any fraud in Minnesota. Michele Tafoya isn't responsible for any fraud in the federal government. The difference: Flanagan isn't *beholden* to anyone responsible for fraud in Minnesota. Tafoya *will* be beholden to the orange Fraud Daddy.

Listen, the day It happens is going to be cause for celebration no matter what. But he could do something really funny and go before he pardons anyone.

Do Tafoya next!

Give me the confidence of a mediocre white man. And give this guy his binky.

And many of those who are voting by mail are dropping their ballots off rather than mailing them back.

I can scarcely imagine a more un-Christian thing than live-streaming an execution for the public.

I wish more people understood this, or maybe that more people cared about how important this concept is. What this admin is doing goes so far beyond partisan politics it’s stunning that a single person will vote for R’s this cycle, let alone the millions who will without hesitation.

And when I say Elon Musk is stupid, this is why? How do we get Tesla? Basic Research. How do we get Starlink? Basic Research. How do we get Space X. Basic Research. And it is basic research, done by every color, creed, and gender, coming to the United States as students and migrants.

Impeach Hegseth on January 3. I don’t care if you don’t have enough senate votes to convict and remove.

It’s no coincidence that the far right is gaining power across the world given how authoritarian-curious our tech overlords are, but it’s so discouraging that although they call out and see how horrible this experiment has been in the US, yet these movements continue to gain steam worldwide.

I’m pessimistic about the odds of taxpayers recuperating any of the money this admin has pilfered or wasted via incompetence, but I do think that owners of the media that have played these ads could regain some (very small amount) of our trust by doing something decent with that money.

“If we’re doing it that must mean everyone is.”

Do you think he knows that highest ≠ best in this case?

for your consideration

WTF? NOBODY WANTS THIS wapo.st/4AyAxDh

Bad is the only word for this.

The Trump White House announced a Hispanic Heritage Month event after canceling their celebration in 2025. The midterms are upon us.

If it’s hard to win when you can’t cheat, you probably shouldn’t have been in the game to begin with. I have about zero faith the Dems will hold anyone accountable (to the extent they are able), but this fucker deserves to rot in jail for the rest of his life.

Every single person in this administration is so out of touch with the world most of us live in, it’s hard to believe a single person supports them - let alone an entire cohort of voters. This will never not be astonishing to me.

If only they would just do that. Even a dumpster fire needs oxygen to burn.

He still loves the city that rejected him, and hanging with someone so beloved by New Yorkers makes him accepted by proxy

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.

Their continuous lies about the state of our economy might just be the thing that makes maga realize the emperor was never wearing clothes

How in the hell are that many people supporting Michelle Tafoya?

I’m not sure why I don’t see trans rights framed this way more often, but this is exactly what it boils down to. Trans humans deserve to live their lives as freely as any of the rest of us, and that is a hill I will die on.

A Supreme Court majority thanks to two of our worst presidents should be ripe for elected Democrats to take on as in need of reform. Yet, I think too many still think they are required to approach it gingerly, as if it's meeting its lofty ideals and not a muddy appendage of a broken party.

Peggy is in good company!

Establishment people: you have got to start being aggressively and vigorously normal about Democratic Socialists. Like yesterday. So help me god you are going to throw this fucking election to MAGA if you do not.

Minnesota, what are you doing this weekend? Early vote locations across the state will be open for Saturday voting, with limited options available for Sunday voting! Check MNVotes.org and make your plan to vote!

At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.

Come on Michigan, do the right thing today and show Stevens that her vile racism is the dealbreaker it should be.

I’m not sure how much louder the electorate can get. Party leadership is completely missing the moment by insisting on maintaining the status quo. We are demanding change as though our lives depend on it - because they do. Nat’l Dems are fools if they don’t get on board.

Liberals hate leftists more than they hate fascists.

All this for 1.5% growth. 🇺🇸 (via Bilello)

Mamdani: "When I make criticisms of PM Netanyahu, they are criticisms of PM Netanyahu. And what I shared were not even frankly personal assessments, they were objective facts ... it's a city where everyone needs to know that their belonging to it is not conditional on how they feel about the mayor."

We've got 100 days to win this race and give a voice back to the people of southern Minnesota. So if you haven't already, now is the time to sign up to knock some doors, make some calls, and get your friends involved: jakejohnsonforcongress.com/volunteer

The Hennepin Cty (home of Mpls) attorney race is more important than ever this year.

They may not realize it, but they’re making the case for alternative response.
