WSJ reporting economists are questioning the quality of U.S. inflation data, after the Bureau of Labor Statistics was forced to use a less accurate method for guessing price changes, given staffing cuts and a hiring freeze limited the number of companies that were surveyed. How convenient.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Last year, we became the first state to build and open three veterans homes simultaneously. I just signed a bill that fully funds the staffing and operations of these homes well into the future. I’m proud of Minnesota’s enduring commitment to better serve those who served us.

I was proud to stand with striking SEIU nurses from Meriter Hospital in Madison today as they fight for a fair contract, including safe staffing ratios. It's past time we pass my Nurse Staffing and Patient Protection Act so all health professionals have a say in their own working conditions!

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

Bivouac of the Dead — Theodore O'Hara The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo; No more on life's parade shall meet That brave and fallen few. On Fame's eternal camping-ground Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead.
