we’ve reached the point where the american system of government seems no longer to exist at the federal level.

the executive no longer abides by our laws and clearly hates our constitution. congress has demonstrated a similar contempt.

the constitution is a dead letter except where convenient.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

A needless war

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.

Most of the world has conveyed that message repeatedly when will maga and the others listen.

The President of the United States is a liar.

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

Is this bad? It seems bad.

Yeah but congress gave up their balls to keep their jobs

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

A beautiful reward

Cheyenne, the pup that I found along the highway yesterday and her human family stopped by to visit this afternoon and offer a reward for my help, which I of course refused. As you can see by her smile, that debt is paid in full. 🐶 ❤️

Wishing everyone a peaceful evening as we continue to fight for our democracy be safe

Yes, and you’re going to spend the rest of your or her life figuring out what they want and when they want it.

Sometimes I REALLY wanna cuddle the kitten, but she's not into it. She wants to play and roughhouse...only. 😹 Today I tried picking her up and she punched me in the face then rammed her whole paw into my mouth. Cats only do what they want. 😹😹😹

Exactly

Dispatches from Minnesota: I can't even find words for how royally fucked everything coming out of our federal administration is. It feels like they're engaging in war crimes abroad to distract from the war they're waging against their own citizens.

Raise your hand if you agree Kristi Noem must RESIGN. ✋

It's infuriating and frankly disrespectful to call our modern-day Gestapo, aka ICE, "law enforcement officers." They're nothing of the sort. Real law enforcement protects (or should protect) people. ICE terrorizes them.

Trumps need for revenge trumps the needs of our country.

Corruption in plan site

There is so much corruption with this administration you literally need a score card to keep track of it all.

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.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Trump happened

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Too little to late

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.
