In Ojibwe, my name means ‘speaks in a loud and clear voice woman.’ Today, I’m officially launching my campaign for the U.S. Senate to go to D.C. and speak in a loud and clear voice for ALL of Minnesota.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

They're using "DEI" as the new "N" word as well as a blanket statement that the ONLY qualified people for ANY job are white men. There IS no other explanation for what they're saying. Anyone who bends themselves into a pretzel to carry water for these bottom dwellers is fooling themselves.

Query: If “DEI” is the reason for the plane collision, why is this the first accident in [checks watch] 16 years? 🤔

Where it's headed: An FBI director who says the FBI planned J6. A Director of National Intelligence who parrots Putin. An HHS director who can't tell Medicare from Medicaid, and thinks the CIA killed JFK. And a CIA director with a track record of twisting intelligence for Trump. What could go wrong?

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

We are not overstating the threat that the current president poses to American Democracy. He has told you who he is. He has told you and shown you what he wants to do. If you are OK with it, I don't understand you at all.

Alright, Dems . . . If you don't immediately pipe up and tell the current POTUS to go fuck himself with this bullshit, then I say you're a coward who doesn't deserve the position you now hold. @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

This will be the next litmus test to see if you're satisfactorily supplicant to the Orange Menace. DeSantis already used it when talking about the Gulf. No educator in their right mind would follow Cheeto Jesus' lead on this.

I called my senators to urge them to vote against this clown. I am a veteran and I went 'all the way' in my education. I don't think I should be running the DOD. A FOX News talking head is even less qualified than I am. Shameful.
