"Indeed, the man Gabbard endorsed on the campaign trail — who spoke of ending the Ukraine-Russia War on Day 1 and ushering in a new era of peace — is striking a different tone from her now that he’s sitting behind the Resolute desk." www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Israel's attack on Iran, clearly intended to scuttle the Trump Administration's negotiations with Tehran, is further evidence of how little respect world powers - including our own allies - have for President Trump.

Last year, we became the first state to build and open three veterans homes simultaneously. I just signed a bill that fully funds the staffing and operations of these homes well into the future. I’m proud of Minnesota’s enduring commitment to better serve those who served us.

Some days are best spent sitting under a tree. This sassafras is perfect for sitting by the lake and listening to the birds and the nickering horses. You don't, though, need to own a farm - a local park should serve your needs. Spending time among our trees is deeply rewarding. Go find a good tree!

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic. “The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

Anyone else find it strange that a man with a 14-year heroin addiction is railing against Narcan—the lifesaving drug that helped drive a sharp drop in overdose deaths after a federal distribution program? No one said Narcan cures addiction. It prevents funerals. That’s the point. The facts 👇🏾

On this date in 1883, French painter Edouard Manet succumbed to complications from syphilis, having already suffered the amputation of a gangrenous foot. His last words were spoken to his surgeon, who said he had seen and admired his painting of water lilies. "Just kill me, asshole," Manet replied.

This, in a nutshell, is why the Justice Department remains independent from the White House when it comes to directing criminal prosecution. A country that fails to take to heart the lessons of Watergate ends up with Trump.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."
