Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Every elected Democrat is going to say the right thing, but remember that when 2 Democratic state legislatures were assassinated, elected Republicans went on a smear campaign of disinformation blaming Tim Walz and Democrats themselves.

Lots of people asking why isn't my state issuing COVID vaccine executive orders?

In most states you can already get vaccines without prescriptions, including: AL, AK, AR, CA, CT, DE, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NE, ND, NH, NJ, OH, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WY

Welcome to the best state fair in the country.

We are done for the night!

Of note: an Air Quality Alert starts at 6am tomorrow, running through Wednesday at 11pm.

We cool off and dry out late week, but that northeasterly flow that is cooling us off will also bring in more Canadian wildfire smoke into the area.

@janecoaston.bsky.social oh Jane, I was thinking/hoping you were on vacation. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. 💗

Again, I am ASTOUNDED that SO MANY people don’t understand that if Walmart or Target can’t stock their shelves, NO STORE will be able to. It doesn’t matter if you are boycotting them.

How are people on both sides somehow not grasping this concept?!?

If you’re in a tornado warned storm, make sure you have:

📌 Phone + charger
📌 Shoes on + sweatshirt
📌 Wallet
📌 Pets leashed or secure in your storm shelter

Think of what you’d need if you were to have to crawl out of your basement in the dark and rain, over debris and cooler air.

A powerful storm system will increasingly likely flare a Severe Weather Outbreak across the entire region Monday.

***A Tornado Outbreak is also possible***

Take this weekend to prepare and revise your preparedness plans, and monitor later forecasts.

#MNwx #WIwx #IAwx #RochMN #Minneapolis

A tornado outbreak appears likely Monday afternoon/evening across the region, with the potential some could be strong and long-tracked. A Moderate severe risk (level 4/5) is in place.

Last Moderate in Minnesota: 5/21/2024… last one issued in the Day 3 outlook: 4/10/2011. #mnwx

SO JUST TO RECAP:
1. The Supreme Court rules against Trump 9-0.
2. He flies in the dictator of El Salvador specifically to say he won't return Kilmar Abrego Garcia in front of the whole world. Is this supposed to be evidence for the Supreme Court?
3. The timing indicates a high level of concern.

I personally am finding it very difficult to do work when every day I read headlines that say things like "Breaking: Trump issues insane threat that could cause massive global upheaval and maybe start a new world war but he could change his mind, guess we'll see lol" like what do we do with that

Jesus fucking Christ, this exhibition of malicious dementia coming from the White House.
