"I felt pride when Minnesota passed a law to become a trans refuge state and passed free school lunches for kids. But I didn't live here then. Now that I'm here, I see why those things are why we are attacked, and I continue to see us stand up for our neighbors in tangible ways."

Axios Twin Cities

Minnesota had net growth in population last year (even before ICE invaded). I think the laws and policies that protected people were a huge draw.

I told @axios.com why I moved back, and how I feel affirmed in that decision.

Corporate America demands refunds after Donald Trump’s tariffs are struck down Battle lines begin to form over who will recover more than $130bn in levies assessed on imports

Preparing taxes as SCOTUS strikes down Trump's tariffs is wild. We can see how much extra we spent.

Ready to get in line to get our Trump Tariff refund.

F.B.I. Director Celebrates Hockey Victory as Bureau Stares Down Crises

But no congratulations to this guy who used taxpayer dollars to go on a frat bender with the US hockey team, while multiple crimes and crises were happening at home.

I didn't get to watch much, but I love the Olympics. There is something special about seeing elite athletes in sports that I barely think about, capturing global attention.

Congratulations to all who show us the result of hard work, dedication, and love of the sport.

Finance firms look to State of the Union for clarity on Trump Accounts Administration officials have made the children’s savings tool from the megabill a key part of their affordability pitch.

Trump spent more time and money on the announcements (and a Super Bowl ad) of his self-named "Trump Accounts" than he did figuring out how they will even work.

This administration doesn't know what it's doing.

Mexico’s most powerful cartel leader is killed by security forces The Mexican military’s killing of Nemesio RubΓ©n Oseguera Cervantes, a.k.a. β€œEl Mencho,” set off violence in areas controlled by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Trump pressured Mexico to go after a drug cartel leader. He was killed, and then his followers burned down Puerta Vallarta.

This administration doesn't know what it's doing, or how to follow up. It's making things less safe for everyone.

T.S.A. Says PreCheck Will Remain Operational at Airports

DHS shut down PreCheck and then opened it hours later.

Sort of like the El Paso airport.

Sending sub-par healthcare to a country Trump wants to invade, instead of providing it to the Americans who need it.

Matthew 4:8-10

The devil took him to a high mountain & showed him all the kingdoms of the world & their glory, and he said to him, β€œAll these I will give you, if you will fall down & worship me.” Jesus said, β€œAway with you, Satan! for it is written, β€˜Worship the Lord your God, & serve only him.’ ”

Happy Sunday, Lovelies.

Yesterday, while going to a political leadership summit, I ran across a short ICE OUT march.

Patriots daily are continuing to raise their voices. Saints are serving the poor and oppressed. Leaders are building power to change our system.

We Spoke to 8 Trans Inmates. They Say the Bureau of Prisons Is Illegally Denying Them Care Last June, a judge ordered the BOP to restore gender-affirming accommodations for trans people after a Trump executive order. Legal filings and accounts suggest the agency isn’t complying.

I think that trans inmates are going to be the next target to try to take away rights from Americans

Nothing is safe.

It's a problem if you're not thinking about how AI will impact your life or your job or your everything

Although remember, all technology goes through a chaotic growth period before the bust, and then we figure out best how to use it.

Electricity did
Cars
Internet

D.C. logs the most exercise in the country, per Apple Watch data Mississippi β€” not so much.

Do you ever wonder if many of our problems (not just health care) would be solved if we had the ability and the will for more physical movement?

And I mean real exercise, not riding a stationary bike while wearing jeans in a a sauna with Kid Rock.

Trump signals new tariffs plan. Here's how Section 122 works The global break from President Trump's tariffs will only be temporary.

Trump may have thrown a temper tantrum at yesterday's SCOTUS ruling, but his team is already looking at how to continue to make small businesses and Americans pay more.

It's not over. Continue to raise your voice, and describe how you are being harmed.
