It’s 2AM on a Sunday and I’m heading to the Capitol to FORCE a full reading of the Republicans’ 940-page bill. This bill will rip health care coverage away from 16 million people and cut food assistance. It’s sick. And we will not stand for it.

President Biden and Vice President Harris hold hands next to Governor Walz and his wife at the funeral service of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman. It hurts to see what could have been.🥹 May we all soon see the day our nation is led with decency and kindness once again. #Respect

Johnson on the GOP bill: I'd like it much better. Right now, I'm not going to vote for a motion to proceed today. We just got the bill, and I got my first copy about 1:23 in the morning this morning.

Senate Republicans dropped a nearly 1,000-page “Big Beautiful Bill” in the DEAD OF THE NIGHT. And they want to vote on it TODAY. Trump is jamming through a bill that rips away health care, closes hospitals, raises grocery and utility bills to give tax breaks to billionaires.

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on what it would take to dismiss his $787 million defamation case against Fox News: "It's simple-- just apologize and give it as much airtime as you gave it when you weaponized the lie... In the absence of that, let's go to court."

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

The moral squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers. Both the Republican-controlled Congress and conservative Supreme Court Seem hellbent on abdicating their duties to a tyrant.

Lawrence O'Donnell has been reporting in a way that is the verbal equivalent of kicking someone in the balls — and then doing it again, just for good measure. That's the kind of reporting we need. Not this candy-ass, sugar-coated BS so many others are putting out. #LawrenceGetsIt

"ICE thugs have good reason to expect their superiors will give them a pass for even egregious misconduct and are behaving accordingly. But some may be less cavalier if they're on notice about the risk of being held accountable under state criminal laws."

MAGA gets all misty-eyed with nostalgia for the 1950s. And it’s not just the White Supremacy. They think of it as a time of great prosperity. But they don't realize that government programs like the GI Bill were driving much of that prosperity. You know, socialism.
