This is not a drill. Trump has created a phony crisis in Los Angeles so he can call in the military, and he plans to do it soon--probably this weekend--around the country. The goal: declare martial law and cancel the 2026 elections. We must stop him. Now. This is not a drill.

Event planners are hiring seat fillers for Trump’s Saturday parade in DC. Free red hats.

The new head of FEMA didn’t know the US has a hurricane season. I didn’t make that up

The courts have ruled the tariffs illegal, but will Trump ignore the courts?

What better way to celebrate National Women’s Health Week than by defunding Planned Parenthood? Way to go, Trump.

This is not good

Grandma is going to have to get out of the nursing home and get a job because the GOP considers her “waste, fraud and abuse” that needs to be cut from Medicaid. Heartless bastards.

Musk locked all federal employees’ government credit cards with a $1 limit to save money and “prevent waste.” Now there are people fighting forest fires who are stranded because their vehicles are out of gas. Are we winning yet?

Minnesota Attorney General speaks to seniors at a rally today at the state capitol

Federal employees are now allowed to wear MAGA hats at work. As if they would…

The FBI has arrested a judge in Milwaukee for “obstructing ICE”

The “pro-life” party is now defunding suicide hotlines

While some people have suggested Vance killed the pope, I think it's more likely the pope met the empty suit of a vice president, threw up his hands and said, "What a disaster. I'm out of here."

You know what to do.

A candidate for governor of Iowa wants to buy nine counties in southern Minnesota. He noted they once were part of Iowa Territory. So was North Dakota. Want Fargo?

Trump is rewriting endangered species rules to say habitat destruction is okay. Clearcut the forest full of endangered owls and you're okay as long as you're not actually shooting the owls. They can just move to the suburbs.

NIH science review boards have purged women and BIPOC members from their boards. Just at random, you think?

Trump's dislike for immigrants melts away when it comes to white Afrikaners from South Africa, where the US is going out of its way to recruit immigrants. As long as they're white.

Bring your love for National Parks to our next Defend America’s Essentials rally on Thurs, Apr 17, 4-6pm outside the Mn Science Museum in St Paul: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... #nationalparks

RFK Jr saw the medical report on the latest child to die of measles. He announced the child didn’t die of measles but a bacterial infection. That’s. What. Measles. Is.

Interior Secretary Burgum apparently has ordered his staff to always have fresh warm cookies available. He’s now being referred to as Secretary Warm Cookies.

So the Secretary of Education is talking about AI in the schools, but calls it “A-1,” like the steak sauce. Huh. (Palm hits forehead.)

You don’t suppose Trump and his pals bought big when the market was down, right before he drove it up again?

Trump is planning a $92 million military parade in DC to honor himself—on his birthday. You’ll pay for it

Remember the Keystone pipeline and how safe it would be? It ruptured. Spewing oil all over North Dakota farm fields.

Penguin revenge

What competent leaders remain at the Social Security Administration say recent policy changes by the Trump Administration are causing a "death spiral." This doesn't sound good to millions of seniors.

Penguins: “We swim at dawn!”

The DOGE boys have taken control of Peace Corps headquarters. Peace must be a bad word nowadays. Think of the billions they'll save laying off those Peace Corps Volunteers all over the world, living on the same poverty wages as the people they serve.

Great events yesterday, but don’t pat yourself on the back and go home. The lunatic is still running the asylum and Musk is still wrecking the country. Keep fighting!

The last time the US imposed a big tariff was the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. We know how that turned out. My dad lost his job and couldn't find another for nine years. He was one of millions to suffer from that senseless move.

Doctor Oz got confirmed today as head of Medicare. We’re off to see the wizard.

So the "stable genius" started a trade war with an island full of penguins.

The market is down 1,600 points. So much winning.

No tariffs on Russia, but Trump specifically imposed tariffs on two uninhabited islands off Australia, and on Svalbard, a Norwegian island chain where polar bears outnumber people.

The ferry that runs to Isle Royale National Park can't run this year because key members of the crew were victims of Trump's downsizing and can't be replaced because of his hiring freeze. So no visitors, no staff, no supplies can get to the island. Tired of winning yet?

So it turns out the Trump administration is not only using Signal, but also that super-secret Gmail.

It appears civilization didn’t end with the election of a woman named Susan. Civilization could still end, but it would be because of a man named Elon

Layoffs at NIH include the leader of Parkinson’s research. How cruel

Trump has canceled funds for Meals on Wheels. My curse word supply is running low. Sticking it to shut-in seniors?

The USA is number one in pedestrian deaths. To celebrate, Trump has pulled all funding from the Safer Streets program

Protest today at Tesla in Lake Elmo, MN. 15 people last week, 70+ today. Maplewood grew from 170 to 250. Movement is growing!

A University of Minnesota grad student has been arrested by ICE, which won’t say why or where he is

So next we’ll abolish OSHA and get rid of all workplace safety protections. Of course! Who needs to be safe?
