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.

Donald Trump didn’t call in the National Guard on January 6th. Yet he called them in to LA without a request from officials in California. He pardoned people who smeared bodily fluids on our Capitol and beat cops, calling them “patriots.” His hypocrisy is nauseating.

This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face. Totally dystopian.

He really doesn't know his audience does he? I'm sure there will be complete understanding by parents of children who want a Barbie when all that is available is the Melania look alike action figure for $59.99.

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

Reposting by request the exchange from Trump's ABC interview about Abrego Garcia's tattoos here on Bluesky 👇👇👇 TRUMP: He had MS-13 on his knuckles, tattooed! MORAN: That was photoshopped TRUMP: Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you. But you're not being very nice.

Looks like the stock market is finally waking up after the recent rally for no good reason, and futures are in the red. No trade deals on tariffs. Horrible ADP jobs report. Horrible Q1 GDP data…

Trump: wrong color suit at a funeral, jacket open, slumped over like a surly teenager King of Spain: Shows how funeral wear can be respectful yet cool. Right color, clothes fit, good posture, remembers to tie his jacket button. Very rare to see this level of tailoring nowadays, even on the wealthy.

The US could lose as much as $90 billion this year because of fewer visitors and canceled purchases of US goods caused by the President's tariff taxes. I'm leading bipartisan efforts to reverse his tariffs on Canada, which passed the Senate with the support of four Republicans.

1/5 Watched @hcrichardson.bsky.social & Sen. Angus King today. Sen. King spoke of writing your Reps. & Sen. How important it is, it does make a difference. Then saw this. A lot of screen shots but a good idea. Stick to issues effecting you or those you know. Be Specific.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been sitting in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump Admin made a mistake. Now, the Admin is defying SCOTUS & refusing to bring him back. If we allow Trump to violate Kilmar's rights, none of our rights are safe. Kilmar is all of us.

"As we continue through holy week, my heart aches for my husband, who should have been here leading out Easter prayers. Instead, I find myself pleading with the Trump administraiton and the Bukele administration to stop playing games with the life of Kilmar.... My children miss their dad so much."

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

If we are somehow “at war” (their claim), and thus the people could be deported due to the war, are they not subject to the Geneva Convention? Is this not a war crime, then?
