Mother. Nurse. Citizen. Horse Lady. Dog Lover. Political Junkie. Proud Iowa Democrat. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men(and women) to do nothing - Take Action. -Edmund Burke
Exactly.
The priorities are clear.
Americans come last.

The Gaslighting of America continues, with Karoline Leavitt declaring that the USA had nothing to do with the bombing of the Minab school that killed 150+ elementary students. Satellite imagery shows SEVEN strikes on buildings with penetration marks matching those typical of American JDAM bombs.
JFC.
"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)
Hey, any historians want to tell Fortune what happens to the billionaires if you don’t fix the income inequality through peaceful methods like taxation?
Trump Team Scrambles Over Rubio’s Admission About Israel and Iran
Even Secretary of State Marco Rubio tried to claim he’d never made the statement.

Rep. Jayapal brought 4 Americans into the hearing room, detained by ICE, never charged, never asked about citizenship, arrested simply for protesting.
Noem's response? "Context is critical."
Jayapal's response: resign, be fired, or be impeached. 170+ Americans detained.
Time for consequences.
Surgeon generals usually represent the very best of the medical community. Means isn’t even a part of it, by her own choosing.
The surgeon general has to be trustworthy. Casey Means is not. She should be rejected as Surgeon General.

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.
That’s a lot.
Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.
She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
The White House reportedly offered jobs to Massie’s staffers weeks before the Epstein files vote.
One aide was offered double his salary. This is what obstruction looks like!
3 million documents are still withheld. Ask yourself why.

SCHIFF: Are you saying it's just fortuitous that $143m went to a subcontractor that you worked w/ extensively as gov of SD?
KRISTI NOEM: I had no choosing of contractors.
S: Can you state for record that you or Lewandowski had no communication with any agency involved?
N: To best of my knowledge
Trump's trying to find the guy who did this.
WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?
NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?
NOEM: No.
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

There are many reasons why Dr. Casey Means is unqualified to be our next Surgeon General. One of those is that her medical license has lapsed & she has no plans to renew.
But, that’s just 1 reason.

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.
Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.
America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.
This is what integrity looks like.
Tim Walz: Trump withholding $259m in Medicaid funds ‘to punish blue states’ – live - The Guardian
It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
Every ounce of pushback matters.
Don't listen to anyone who tells you this work will fail. It's working.
Elizabeth Warren: "This one is to me not even open or arguable. How would the US government keep money that the Supreme Court said it did not legally collect from American businesses, that it did not legally take away from American families that ultimately paid this?"
"People have to give birth in their homes in secret, because if they were to go to a hospital to have their baby, masked agents of the state would abduct them....This is lived reality right now. This is the country you live in."
