I love all animals and wildlife and have spent a great deal of my life caring for them. I love gardening, books, murder mysteries. I love graveyards and good singer- songwriters the caliber of John Prine, John Gorka, Joni Mitchell.

Do we possess the basic common sense — for the sake of our country, our most classified materials, and our intelligence professionals — to vote down Tulsi Gabbard? We will soon find out.

Elon Musk is a vengeful sack of selfish-serving crap. Four months ago, USAID Inspector General Paul Martin told Congress the agency was examining its relationship with Musk's Starlink over several serious issues. First thing Musk/Trump presidency does? Fire IG Martin, slander USAID and close it.

BREAKING: Trump Loses Half A Billion Federal Dollars 1. Trump halts all USAID. 2. USAID IG Paul K. Martin issues a report revealing that nearly $500 MILLION of food was about to go bad or be stolen since workers were removed. 3. Martin is fired the next day. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Hey everyone, it’s a Coup. Name it for what it is. We have a duty to disobey orders that violate law. If the courts say don’t do it, that’s a pretty good indication. Most of us are not being asked to violate law, some are (e.g., financial assistance, Civil Rights and EEO laws). #Resist.

The former Secretaries are right! The unprecedented access to Treasury’s payment systems by an unwarranted official and a rogue band of recent college grades undermines Congress’ power of the purse and the full faith and credit of the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/o...

This is a great piece.

ICYMI: I introduced the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act last Friday. This bill would ensure that Elon Musk and DOGE Special Employees will be held accountable for their reckless and illegal actions. The American people should not be left to foot the bill.

New York's highest court will hear oral argument on Tuesday over a law that allows some noncitizens living in New York City to vote in local elections. Lower courts struck down the law for violating the state constitution.

As we start another week, my law firm is litigating 46 voting and election cases in 19 states. A team starts trial to protect the Voting Rights Act in Alabama tomorrow! Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy and democracy is on the docket.

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and Donald Trump has done pretty much nothing to lower your grocery costs. The President needs to buckle down and deliver on his promises.

Honored to receive an award from the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association for my work to ensure officers, firefighters, and others get the Social Security payments they’ve earned. They put everything on the line for us—and we should have their backs.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Extreme MAGA Republicans spent last year promising to lower costs. And lying about their connection to Project 2025. They have spent this year implementing the extreme Project 2025 agenda. And haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living.

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

We highly recommend y’all crack open a copy of the U.S. Constitution before you break anymore laws…

Cuts to NIH funding by the Trump Administration will delay life-saving treatments and undermine our ability to combat diseases like cancer and heart disease. This is a short-sighted decision that will impact lives and life-saving research across the country, including in Minnesota.

We got the first emergency order locking Musk & the WH DOGE out of sensitive Treasury systems I shudder to think what coulda happened if they were able to muck about in there I explained more w @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social

A reminder to DOGE.👇 "It is long settled that courts possess inherent authority to initiate contempt proceedings for disobedience to their orders, authority which necessarily encompasses the ability to appoint a private attorney to prosecute the contempt." -Young v. U.S. ex rel. Vuitton (1987).

"Community building happens from the ground up, and so does letting our voices be known. Our collective action and unwavering commitment to civic engagement is what will ultimately drive positive change. So what will you do to engage others in 2025?"

NEW: The Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Meagan Wolfe can remain the state’s top election official, despite efforts by state Senate Republicans to oust her following Trump’s 2020 loss.

NEW: Federal government agrees not to publicly release the names of FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6 and Mar-a-Lago investigations for now. FBI personnel are currently suing to permanently block the government from disclosing this information.

The Justice Department agreed to restrict DOGE – Elon Musk's faux agency – access to sensitive personal and financial records of millions of people from the Department of Treasury, after federal unions sued to block the agency's actions.

Title too good to be true! youtu.be/AH6codZX38U?...

Want one hour to clear your head? A walk on a beautiful snowy morning in Minnesota will do it.

The most important pro-democracy lawsuit you may not be following.👇 Trial begins Monday in a years-long redistricting battle that will determine Black representation in Alabama’s congressional delegation through 2030. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Normal, right? Add chainsaw video, pleading Fifth, Cayman/China deal, enemies list, “King Donald,” grand jury secrets, close counterterror section, “deep state” fantasies — mos def the guy you want running FBI. But enough for an R to grow a spine? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
