Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman remembered as funny, savvy and 'a true leader' Friends and colleagues remembered her as grounded, kind and compassionate.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Pretty big "if" ...

If the Marshals Go Rogue, Courts Have Other Ways to Enforce their Orders Opinion | Even a rogue marshal’s service is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law.

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.”
- Elon Musk

Empathy - the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

“Christ walked in our shoes and entered into our affliction.”
- Timothy J Keller

What do you call someone who is, by definition, anti Christ?

Agreed! I think tracking the record--and the lies--through, like, a split screen is a must (and should've been employed last fall).

Oh, somehow I thought it was his byline.
