Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed. (video shared by Padilla’s staff with Elex Michaelson of Fox LA and posted on X)

Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs. This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less. We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts. See how it works?

really weird how Trump fired everyone at the Airline Safety Committee and the Elon forced the head of the FAA to quit, and then planes started falling out of the sky. it's almost as if actions had consequences

This is a great question for all of congress to think about. Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ? Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates

If you made this argument back in the day you were smugly dismissed as an economically illiterate lefty. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Can’t wait t’git my hands on nem cheap eggs!

We’re sending a team of firefighters from DNR to support wildfire response efforts in California.   I'm proud of these emergency responders who are stepping up to provide critical support — they're heroes who are protecting communities and saving lives.

sorry to load you up with homework on a Saturday, but Ms. Spouse just published a new post. it's a good'n, and you should all go read it. thanks!

This same Christian Nationalist symbol is tattooed on the guy they just confirmed. Hegseth has raged against Muslims while drunk in public. He’s told racist jokes about Mexicans according to his sister-in-law. We know what he’s about and why he has that tattoo. So disgraceful.

Jesus Christ would have nodded in agreement at her message.

Ever notice when you go to check out for tickets to a Vikings game or a Taylor Swift concert, the price you pay is so much higher than advertised? Mysterious fees from online sellers continue to make tickets more expensive.   Starting January 1, we’re banning those junk fees.

The same people saying that AMericans are not smart enough to work at their tech firms. ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DISMANTLE THE DEPT OF EDUCATION. SQUARE THAT FN CIRCLE

Stats on who gets H1-B visas. Make of them what you will. immigrationroad.com/visa/h1b-wor...

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech? We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

The @aflcio.org: “Our unions will never accept policies that relegate millions of workers to an exploitable subclass... We’ll fight for a path to citizenship for every undocumented worker and reject work visa programs that give employers control over the status & fate of workers.”

He’s just now figuring this out

It always looks like a Hooker’s Ball.

We are WEAK!!!

It's all fun and games until these people are in charge of running our country for the next four years

The Coultergeist has entered the chat. 🍿

Down with *UnitedWealthCare* Up with Universal Health Care. 💙

But Make America Great Again… FOR SOME!

If a bully is paying you and helping you win elections, then of course you will side with the bully and blame the victim for defending themselves.

so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this

Looks like someone pissed off Temu Apartheid guy.

Happy Kwanzaa, Minnesota! Wishing all who celebrate a wonderful week of warmth, health, and togetherness.

Irony would like a word.

162 years ago, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. The sacrifice of these riders reminds us to recommit to accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2024/1...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget Even Christmas morning!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours, Minnesota. May your day be filled with warmth, peace, and joy.
