AG Pam Bondi’s statement following the detonation of a car bomb outside a fertility clinic in CA: “Violence against a fertility clinic is unforgivable." What about all the gun violence killing children, pam? Is that unforgivable, too? Doesn’t seem like it.

This weather’s for running, Minnesota.

Despite what he’s been saying about liberal women, Kid Rock himself is clearly responsible for a big part of the low birth rate, because one look at that fucker puts women off sex for years.

Pope Leo snubbed JD Vance today after his inaugural mass. Instead of granting the Trump regime’s right-hand man a private audience, the new Pope gave him a chilly 17-second handshake and moved on to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other (actual) world leaders instead.

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

Grieving and desperate, a man in Jabalia camp begged for help after his wife was killed, not knowing how to carry her away.

"Our job is to organize people in every way, to stand up politically in workplaces, in universities, on the streets, to demand that we have a government which represents all of us and not just the few."

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

Oh, we will.

Back with another Medicaid myth to bust. Let's go! 🚫 Myth: Immigrants get free Medicaid without paying in. ✅ Fact: Immigrants do pay into Medicaid—but most don’t qualify for full benefits unless they’ve been lawful residents for 5+ years. 📞 Call 866-426-2631—tell Congress: Protect Medicaid.

Proud to honor NAMI Minnesota Executive Director Sue Abderholden with a Congressional Record in recognition of her upcoming retirement and 24 years of tireless advocacy for mental health. Minnesota is a better, more compassionate state because of her.
