The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Grasslands and Wetlands Are Being Gobbled Up By Agriculture, Mostly Livestock - Inside Climate News A new study takes a first-of-its kind look at how farming converts non-forested areas and major carbon sinks into cropland and pasture.

Dear BlueSky:

Melania Trump is a sex worker. So, of course, the pictures advertising her services are going to be sexually suggestive. She would be more incompetent than her senile husband if they weren't.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

the consolidation of major media institutions by the president’s oligarch friends is obviously bad, but i do wonder about the ultimate impact. it is clear that trump and his allies believe that you can buy up media and pull an orban or a putin. but…

CNN Braces for Ellison's Control With David Ellison poised to take control of Warner Bros. Discovery, a chill has settled over CNN as staffers fear for the future. "The panic at CNN right now is off the charts," an insider tells Stat...

Suffice to say, the mood inside CNN is not good tonight.

“We are doomed," one staffer texted me.

“The panic at CNN right now is off the charts,” an insider added.

Let me re-introduce myself. And why our campaign is doing things differently.

Tax billionaires out of existence.

Per WIRED - a White House staffer has been ID’ed as running a big Twitter account that called the Obama apes video a “masterpiece” (and his wife works for Karoline Leavitt)

Hey, GOP, stay in your lane. Persecuting Hillary Clinton to distract from Trump's misdeeds is not your job. It's the New York Times's job.

It took a remix to make the radio play!

Alright… Early ’80s. This young singer from Michigan cuts her first single in a tiny NY studio. Label left her face off the sleeve. Wanted radio to think she was Black and just let it spin. Radio shrugs. Sales stall.

But…

After midnight, DJs kept reaching for it.
Sometimes the charts are late.

One of the best parts of the SOTU. Classic.

If a "Movie star" were mentioned in the Epstein files as many times as Melania is, that would be the end of their career.

In Rep. Tony Gonzales, Republicans have a sexual predator in their midst who relentlessly pursued a married staffer which ultimately resulted in her suicide, and they refuse to do anything about it because they need his vote.

That is the 2026 Republican Party.

Removing Medicaid funding from Minnesota means that thousands of children will not be able to get medical treatment and will be deprived of proper nutrition

Apparently Trump and JD Vance think that “good stewardship” of Medicaid means creating policies that produce sick, starving kids

This is illegal and patently unconscionable

Because “trust me, bro-there’s fraud”

The Trump government says amputees can’t get prosthetic limbs

Grandmas won’t have oxygen

Kids with cancer get no hospital beds

As JD Vance and Dr Oz crack jokes and compare securing medical treatment to..McDonalds

I'm so happy they got this for alienating 50% of their audience, the women's game and the nation of Canada.

The Dr. Oz Medicaid announcement is yet another example of this administration announcing half-cooked policies poorly and causing mass confusion and panic in the process. It may be intentional. It's definitely incompetence.

They’re not pausing Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud.

This is retribution.

Vance says administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns Vice President JD Vance has announced that the Trump administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to the state of Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an agg...

This is deeply illegal, breaking the Medicaid statute and the ICA.

States are entitled to funding from federal govt to help pay for Medicaid. Providing less than the statute calls for is open and shut illegal, more akin to the impoundments Nixon lost unilaterally before SCOTUS than anything so far.

Trump Administration Withholds $260 Million In Medicaid Funds for Minnesotans Vice President JD Vance announced on Wednesday that the Trump administration would "temporarily halt" over $200 million in Medicare funds for Minnesota in an effort to address fraud in the state.

NEW: Trump Administration Withholds $260 Million In Medicaid Funds for Minnesotans. To be clear Medicaid does NOT go to people, it goes directly to Drs, hospitals and clinics. This is more of GOP ending healthcare to pay for tax cuts for their wealthy donors! www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

As of late 2025, Minnesota's Medicaid and MinnesotaCare
programs serve nearly 1.3 million residents.

There are 1.3M+ registered Minnesota Republicans. Think some of them might be affected?

Girls will be like “I needed this” and it’s just screaming in unison with Ethel Cain

Mike Johnson had all of Congress in recess during a government shut down so that he wouldn’t have to swear in a duly elected Democrat… but he wants to complain about the Democrats skipping one evening of work 💀

Flavor Fav is more of a patriot than every single member of the men's USA hockey team.

I said it.

I know it.

We need an Epstein File-level leaking of emails and communications between the current Administration and major tech companies collecting data on all of us.

A bright royal/navy blue door takes up the entire cover. It's slightly open, and Emily is peering out. You can see her face and hair and parts of her bright red dress. The door she is opening is on the left, on the right is the other side of the door and the title is in lower-case white paint, each word appearing underneath the word before it. The author's and illustrator's names are below in smaller white type.

Run--don't walk--to your local bookstore to get @melrosenberg.bsky.social's #PB EMILY SAW A DOOR, illus. by Orit Magia. Yesterday was it's American 🎈Book Birthday🎈!
Congratulations for a lovely book about perseverance, imagination and finally, an invitation to all! #kidlit
