Council President Elliott Payne: Minneapolis doesn’t have a strong mayor, it has strong donors

Remember: Friday is Day 3 of a declared snow emergency, which means if you fail to move your car because, well, you never drive your car — don't worry. Just leave it there. It's understood that chaos and disorder are the only rules in Jacob Frey's Minneapolis.

Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

An obvious lie that I am sure has been workshopped so the base can repeat it.

To people feeling the despair of these times: I genuinely believe our country could reverse course towards a better future in just one election cycle. It has happened before, for better (FDR) or for worse (Reagan). We aren't broken just yet. Take it from me, a complete stranger on the internet.

A super rich guy ignoring structural economic issues to instead focus on the culture wars? Who could have possibly seen this coming?

This is not great. I really hate to say it, but I don't know how we avoid spending cuts at this point. Despite all the good the last session tried to accomplish, apparently no good deed goes unpunished. Doesn't help that there is no federal government to help support solid policy either.

"US-based employers last month announced plans to slash 172,017 jobs, a 103% increase from a year ago and the highest February total since 2009... It’s the 12th highest monthly total in the 32 years Challenger has been tracking job cuts." www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/e...

10 democrats voted yes to censure Green. Yet another example of the spinelessness of the party. They appear to have learned nothing from the shellacking of year's election.

As someone who serves people with disabilities, I cannot imagine the fear and anxiety they must be experiencing under this administration.

NPR really fawning over Slotkin's speech and contrasting her with Al Green. She essentially praised Reagan, for fucks sake! The Democratic party has chosen to pursue a moderate base that just shrinks more and more with each passing day.

Trump promises tax cuts for everyone. The tax increases he imposed today would wipe out any tax cuts the bottom of 40% of Americans would receive. This doesn’t count additional import taxes he’s considering or the cuts to Medicaid and nutrition assistance.

Do people really think Democrat disruption of this stupid address would help resist this administration? Would you even be able to take Schumer or Jeffries serious while they do it? The address is the joke that shouldn't be taken seriously. Democrats would have been better off not engaging at all.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

I know it is strategically a bad idea, but I'd rather the Mark Warners of the party just switch sides. I'd rather support a party with integrity even if it means losing power in the short-term.

Trump said he'd run the country like his businesses. That may have been the one time he was actually telling the truth.

On top of all the other dumb shit going on, we get a completely unnecessary trade war. Do the people that voted for this feel any regret? Do they even understand what's happening or why? How do they think this will benefit them?

Sophie's Choice: Do you shut down the government to prevent a shitty administration from enacting an evil agenda, despite all the negative effects on average people that would follow? Personally, I see Republican control of all levers of federal government as threatening enough to take the risk.

Bipartisanship has just become a reason for people to claim Democrats are just as bad as Republicans. Unfortunately, some of them are 🙁

I'm trying to think of what I would do if I was a member of Congress and had to sit through Trump's dumbass address. Maybe live stream it and shit talk it the whole time? It's hard to think of something that doesn't seem petty or childish that also send a message of actual, sincere resistance.

Thank you, unknown Davanni's employee for showing the kind of courage that's so desperately needed as our beloved USA is dismantled, leaving behind a meaner, shittier, weaker husk of a country.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Egg production is only down about 4% from last year, but prices have more than doubled. While the industry blames bird flu, critics are accusing the largest egg companies of price gauging. They point to the fact that corporate profits have soared in recent months.

In the last 10 yrs, the entirety of Canada’s workforce growth has been due to immigration. Yet the efficacy of immigration to address population decline is mixed. Canada offers an interesting case study for other high-income countries experiencing demographic decline. NEW report explains👇

Trump says his tariffs on Mexico and Canada are to prevent fentanyl from crossing the border because he thinks people are stupid enough to believe that. Unfortunately a lot of people ARE stupid enough to believe that ☹️ Bullying our neighbors and messing with a fragile economy for no f'n reason.
