I feel the same way about Tennessee

Sinners was my favorite movie of the year, but Joel Edgerton definitely deserves best actor

That is very important, and we all appreciate what New Mexico is doing, but I have to say that painting behind you is gorgeous

Master of the understatement

Who was the tool who said “thank you, Mr president?”

Screenshot of an X post from FactPost quoting Rep. Johnson questioning a proposal to require passports to register to vote, noting that many Americans do not have passports and asking whether the $150 passport fee would be waived to avoid creating an unreasonable poll tax. Below is a CNN screenshot showing a woman speaking remotely, with a banner reading: “DHS FUNDING TALKS AT A STANDSTILL AS DEADLINE APPROACHES.”

Thank you, Julie Johnson, for speaking out against the grotesquely misnamed SAVE act. We need you to keep fighting for us in the House.

If you were a journalist or creative that was laid off by the Washington Post and you want to work for an independent, pro democracy news outlet, Democracy Docket is hiring. bit.ly/45Qaw4K

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota."

Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota."

This presser worked like a charm.

We are being trained to accept things that would have been unthinkable a few years ago.
Federal force used casually & defended reflexively.
Legal limits dismissed as technicalities.
Open talk of dictatorship reframed as realism.
None of this is normal. And none of it is accidental. -- George Conway

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Y’all leave her alone!! She was a teenager. A child who was nervous. It’s mean

The look on his face is classic men looking at women who call out their bullshit

And a trans woman

Good. That will make what I’m going to do easier

Of the ones I got to see…

She had “it.” She just did. There was no one like her

Right!

That’s not an ice goon. That’s a Minneapolis policeman. Obviously no better. Damn, things need to change

And we need to get rid of for-profit prisons

My father and mother, Mark Hortman and Melissa Hortman, and their dog Gilbert, were killed by a man who believed conspiracy theories and fake news. Words matter. Sharing fake news is dangerous. One part of my grief journey has been understanding the last conversation with my mother. She loved her job. People respected her job and what she did at her job. When I called her after the legislative session ended, I asked why she voted for the bill mentioned in the video shared by President Trump, and she wept. That bill and her vote had nothing to do with fraud. She voted for that bill because it was the only way to avoid a government shutdown. She had seen the impact of shutdowns: people lose their health care, their jobs, and in some cases, from a story she told me, have taken their own lives. She was in a very tough position on that vote. She had never really voted against her conscience like that. It was emotional and extremely difficult. Her struggle with that vote makes this conspiracy all the more painful for me. I am asking President Trump to remove the video that he shared and apologize to me and my family for posting this misinformation and for using my mother's own words to dishonor her memory.

My sister Sophia Hortman (Sophie) asked me to share this on her behalf, she is off social media: "The video shared by President Donald Trump on Truth Social is a painful, false twisting of my mother's final vote. The vote she made was incredibly difficult for my mother; it was not a vote made lightly or with malice in her heart. She made the decision to prevent a government shutdown because she believed our great state protects and helps Minnesotans. We must create a society in which we do not harbor hatred and violence toward our political opponents, and this video promotes a false narrative which fuels the flames of political division. The video being shared by the president is another hurdle our family must overcome in grieving the loss of my parents, Mark and Melissa, and their beloved Gilbert. I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced, and to honor the spirit of the holidays we have just spent without our parents by taking down the post on Truth Social." Please share our message and help us ask the President to take this down.

Colin and Sophie Hortman, the children of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, are asking Trump to remove the false posts about their parents' killing:

Why is everyone yelling “release the epstein files” when we should already be yelling “impeach and remove!”?

Yelling about the Epstein files is an extra step and it can happen after he’s out of office.

Who is more charming? Zohran or Mandy? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or Gideon?

A sign of the times

This is my favorite ❤️

What if you do have the “broader context?” Does it show something different? What does that mean?

Hakeem Jeffries is as out of touch as chuck Schumer. All they do is pander. They do nothing to help.

Maybe they had a right to be worried. The haters sound completely … mental

He just sits there blinking and looking concerned. Damn, a monkey could do that

It seems as though teaching 4th graders makes you mean

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
