She has been quoted as saying that she wouldn’t rule it out. www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

Ted Cruz's podcast producer, iHeartMedia, directed another $60,000 in "digital revenue" to the Cruz-affiliated Truth and Courage PAC. FEC has ruled this arrangement is hunky-dory.

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

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

Thanks, Trump. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/08...

Moderate Democrats have been utterly ineffectual at countering the far right so… www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

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.

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

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.”

2026 @amyklobuchar.com Pride Month tracker, Day 16. Nothing about Pride. But also, Not a GODDAMN THING about the arrest of 15 Minnesotans--her constituents--who protested ICE. 2026 stats: Posts supporting Pride: 1 (recycled) Posts supporting trans rights: 0

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.

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

225,000 ACRES OF PUBLIC LANDS AT RISK. Senate votes tomorrow on HJR 140. It would strip protections from the Boundary Waters watershed and open the door to toxic sulfide mining near one of the most protected wilderness areas in the country. Call your Senators: 202-224-3121

‪I helped organize boycotts of The Last Temptation of Christ and the art exhibition featuring "Piss Christ". Here's why I don't care that Donald Trump is attacking the pope.

Pope Leo is no angel.

It's scary to think that if anything happens to Bibi Netanyahu, JD Vance would become president of the United States.

why yes, I'd like to listen to that grating voice spouting lies for an hour, sign me up.

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.

Seems we only realize we were living in a heyday after the fact. Sarah Hromack on digital museum publishing (incl. the Walker Reader) before the era of AI bots.

"Clearly, the tree of liberty also must be refreshed, year after year, by a new class of teenagers learning to wrestle truth from the same eternal questions." @deardara.bsky.social on living blocks from the site of Alex Pretti's murder during Operation Metro Surge: www.carleton.edu/voice/storie...

The Democrats’ text strategy makes me never want to donate to them again.

Can you _really_ call it a movement if you only can muster millions of protesters three times? Real @nytpitchbot.bsky.social material here.

Trump: "In Minnesota, it's very Somalia-oriented. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. They come to our country -- low IQs -- and they rob us blind. Stupid people, and they rob us blind."
