Work hard. Play hard. Radio interview this morning, then quality time with my kids and our tradition of fishing the Mississippi for smallmouth bass. As an avid angler, conserving our natural resources for future generations is important to me. We caught 23 fish, and yes, we threw them all back.

WIN✌️THE✌️DAY✌️ Doors knocked in all 38 counties in #MN07 today! I personally knocked in Douglas & Todd counties. Forever grateful to all the volunteers for all their hard work. On top of that, the Gophers beat Iowa. We are less than 250 hours from polls closing. Keep ROWING THE BOAT! #RTB #SkiUMah

10 newspapers across #MN07 have weighed in. The Forum Communications Editorial Advisory Board says Minnesota’s 7th District needs a new voice, and that Erik is the best choice. #WeCanDoBetter Read the full endorsement here: www.inforum.com/opinion/edit...

".... of the people, by the people, for the people..." ~ Abraham Lincoln The 3rd quarter FEC reports are out. We outraised our current GOP Rep. pert near 2 to 1 from individual donors. She raised $339,254. $225,000 came from PACS. $114,254 from individuals. #WeCanDoBetter #EndCitizensUnited

28 down. ONLY 10 to go! Last night's #FishFryTownHall was another special moment. The set up in Glencoe was incredible. One recent high school grad & soon to be 1st time voter was impressed by how much "joy" we are bringing to this race. He went so far as to call this a movement. #MN07

Let's see $170k each for a 2026 Escalade. He bought 250 of them for his personal Secret Service. $170k x 250 equals $42.5 million BEFORE THE SECURITY UPGRADES! but let's cut Medicare and Medicare part D. ca.news.yahoo.com/look-sharp-t...

I’m thinking these guys are perfectly outfitted to spend some time… Patrolling U.S. bases in the Middle East.

Got the chance to see these talented players in action today! It was great having the @wnba.com at Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center for All-Star Weekend. 🏀

Such a beautiful smoky view of Saint Petersburg now💨💨

BREAKING: Canine delivers strongest bipartisan statement of the year.

AOC, alongside Rep. Jamie Raskin and Senator Ben Ray Luján, introduced the High Court Gift Ban Act. The fact that the SC justices need a bill banning them from being corrupt says it all. 🙄

Here’s where I am today on this… In my opinion.

Demented don never gets anything right. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/inter...

If they want to build a data center, they should have to buy the worst land possible for the highest price and then be forced to create a way to power all of that independently and without harming the environment I mean, they are supposed to be geniuses Figure it out

This is how Trump rigs the US prosecutors. He just fired a legitimate US prosecutor assigned by federal judges in Seattle. He dominates an interim prosecutor, then lets the term run out without Senate confirmation, then assigns him as an assistant US prosecutor. Not legal or constitutional.

Murderers

#30million8/30 Patriot - devoted to one's country. Loyalist - devoted to a fucked up authoritarian. Don demands loyalty. As it was in 1776, it is now clear that patriots must defeat loyalist. 30 million street march August 30th. Make your voices heard all over the world.

Italy and Switzerland are building solar panels into railbeds. Here,in the 18th century,we are building coal fired locomotives

Eugene Debs was also a hero of the great American author Kurt Vonnegut: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdhU...

One year ago UN said it was indeed us who shelled & killed Ukrainian POWs at Olenivka. This was absolutely not cos we had tortured them so badly that releasing them would've shamed even us. You'd think this would be big news.

“Abortion bans don’t stop abortions, but they do kill people. They kill women, in higher numbers, but in many of the same, preventable ways, that these women were dying before. All of which was completely and utterly predictable.” - @amylittlefield.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Rep. Cohen filed articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts — the first time in 235 years. Roberts has enabled corruption and helped gut voting rights. It’s long past time we fight back. Tell Congress to get it done:

As a veteran with “No Prefrence” on his dog tags, I feel this is a slap in the face of the 1st Amendment.

Men are too emotional to be president.

The supreme court is the enemy of the people

The Minnesota GOP held their convention on Saturday and opened the meeting with a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin, the murderer of George Floyd:

5/ For five straight days, she laid in a hospital bed, waiting for her situation to get dire enough that doctors — and the hospital's lawyers — would act.

Phil Hendrie did an amazing stint on WCCO radio back in the day. Really excellent film with Judd Apatow and Bill Hader: www.youtube.com/watch?v=clhn...

Our tax dollars will fund a Christian Nationalist rally on the National Mall this Sunday. I used to think we had courts to stop this kind of thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAGp...

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought

Donald Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He's a liar. He's a thief. He's a molester and he is a racist. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy and no loyalty to the law nor to the Constitution. He has no good character traits at all.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't have "double-dirty-dog dared" him last year with your "TACO" meme-trolling? I get your intended nuance tacked-on about "side-deals". But if he's "sick", and a "madman", do you think he would? 🙄 Iran has been "2 weeks from nuclear weapons" for 30 years. GTFOH.💢 2/2

He wasn't shot. Blood doesn't spray forward. His ear was nicked with a razor and accomplices smeared blood on his cheek before standing him up. Biggest fraud in American history.
