Nothing more Minnesotan than jumping in a frozen lake for a good cause.

I joined Team Tessa at the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics and celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all.

Trump is clowning his evangelical base He's not even bothering to pretend anymore.

"The version of Christianity that Trump's most devout supporters embrace (and he pretends to) has no room for Christ’s actual teachings. Anyone who references Jesus’s declarations to aid the sick, poor, and vulnerable is quickly labeled a socialist and/or antifa."

Could you imagine what this ass clown would do if the shoe was on the other foot...if he had to carry his goddamn "papers" everywhere he goes in fear of getting detained? I hope these assholes are held accountable in November because this "why should they be afraid!?" is rage bait bullshit. 🤬

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

Anne Applebaum on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen."

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

There was a time when the office of the President of the United States stood as a symbol of integrity.

Leaders like President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama reminded the country what that standard looks like at its best.

JUST IN: Trump DELETES racist post depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, blames a "White House staffer."

Karoline Leavitt previously defended the post and criticized the public outcry as "fake outrage."

Dear Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

You may not be aware of this, but it actually matters to the American public whether Donald Trump (1) has the intellect and temperament of a five-year old, (b) is a racist cretin, or (c) as seems most likely, both.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"Have some fun"...this is so unbelievably gross and tone-deaf. This response shows how non-serious they are about the Epstein files and the scale of abuse that went on. He is on quite a burner right now with similarly tone-deaf and gross statements on Alex Pretti. Makes me sick 🤮

I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

You don’t get to call this “law and order” while ICE raids occur near schools and houses of worship, violates court orders, and scares parents into guarding school doors. Even Republicans are saying it’s unacceptable. Enforce the law—but due process matters, and chaos doesn’t make us safer.

Trump says this stuff surrounded by Republican leaders in Congress who are clutching the new MAGA merch he gave them. They love it. Shameful.

Is it just me or does it feel like the 'ushers' are on a hair trigger of late, lunging in front of the cameras to rescue Trump whenever he starts doing a dementia.
