The Keystone pipeline system, which carries crude oil from Canada to the U.S., was shut down on Tuesday because of a leak that spilled an estimated 3,500 barrels of oil in southeastern North Dakota, government and company officials said.

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20

So is the Logan Act just completely voided now?

How is protesting Tesla domestic terrorism but attacking the Capitol building is not? 🤔

Conservatives rage that Democrats didn’t stand for the cancer-stricken child Trump exploited—but they ignore his cuts to cancer research. Pure performative outrage.

As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.

For MAGA, compassion means “hate”

“‘Love thy neighbor’ is woke” - MAGA

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde Hero.

Q: “Why did you pardon a man who drove a stun gun into the neck of a police officer?” Trump deflects to murderers in LA who he says don’t get charged. (which is not true)

15 years of Citizens United have shown us that money corrupts politics. We are going to have to take back our democracy from the forces of greed! #StopTheOligarchy

Make it make sense.

More than 200 executive orders expected tomorrow. Not one of them will lower the price of eggs.

I’m not even remotely worried about a trans woman being in my bathroom, but I’m fucking sick with worry about a serial sexual abuser being in my White House.

Hi, I’m God. There is no free speech if only the rich and powerful are allowed to exercise it.

California pays more in federal taxes than it receives in return, while Mike Johnson’s Louisiana takes more than it gives.

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US We are the only highly developed nation without it Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare

The Minnesota Frost took home the inaugural Walter Cup last season - a big win for women’s sports and the State of Hockey. I was honored to host the team for a reception and thank them for representing Minnesota so well on the national stage. Go Frost!

🚨🚨🚨WHY ISN’T THIS A BIGGER STORY? The media lately ignored that Donald Trump secretly spoke with Vladimir Putin as many as SEVEN times since leaving office. The conversations coincided with Trump pressuring Republicans to block military aid to Ukraine. TRUMP IS A TRAITOR!!!

I love this.
