The horrific tragedy in Minneapolis is a repeat of other horrifying mass casualty events.

Knowing there’s no political will to tackle the underlying problems driving this epidemic, please consider:

1. Donating blood. It’s life saving

2. Get trained in basic life support. It can also save a life

What they've done to LA and are doing to DC they want to do to a city near you. We know this becasue they are saying it; and we know this because they just greenlighted $171 billion more for their secret police.

How Much Is Trump Profiting Off the Presidency? A comprehensive estimate of how much Trump and his family are making, from hotel mega-deals to crypto schemes, has been elusive—until now.

💰 The New Yorker puts a number on it—

$3.4 billion

That’s how much Trump & his family have profited from his presidency, estimates David Kirkpatrick.

Stop what you're doing and listen to this warning from @marcelias.bsky.social about the real reason for Trump's National Guard deployment in DC.

That slab of cement is hideous.

OMG. What a total clueless uncaring a:*hole.

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell with white text over his shoulder: Trump: "I wish her well"

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Trump has never said 'I wish her well' to any Epstein victims, just Ghislaine Maxwell youtu.be/RrIGsqWvmSU?...

"Those best positioned [in Hungary] to uphold democratic norms chose the comfort of an illusion over the courage of action. They were and are invisible by choice.... The lesson of Hungary is this: We cannot claim to care about democracy only when it costs nothing."

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

Hopefully this puts to bed a whole lot of misconceptions. Like Republicans being good people, fiscally responsible people, people of faith, and that they're policies are for the working people and their families.

Tim Walz eulogizes slain lawmaker as a historic Minnesotan — and friend After a hug with Kamala Harris, Gov. Tim Walz eulogized slain state Rep. Melissa Hortman as “the most consequential speaker in Minnesota history.”

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I think going to war with Iran is a terrible idea, but no one believes this “two weeks” bit. He’s used it a million times before to pretend he might be doing something he’s not. It just makes America look weak and silly.

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from: 

-Sinking poll numbers
-A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Harmful trade wars 
-Unleashing the military on American soil
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism

I have been a Dodgers fan my whole life & I’m proud of that.

Donald Trump’s Politics of Plunder The greed of the new Administration has galvanized America’s aspiring oligarchs—and their opponents.

Around D.C., the new going rate is well-known: $5 million for a one-on-one dinner with Trump, but gov-affairs execs have “no clue where the money is eventually going,” one said. Another told me it’s “outer-borough Mafia sh*t.” My new piece is out @newyorker.com www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Trump considers redirecting $3 billion in Harvard grants to US trade schools President Donald Trump said he is considering taking $3 billion of previously awarded grant money for scientific and engineering research away from Harvard University and giving it to trade schools.

“Most of that grant money is appropriated by Congress for the National Institutes of Health to disburse to fund biomedical research after a lengthy application process by individual scientists, work that is not typically done at trade schools…”

An absolutely outrageous level of ignorance for the SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY.

"You shouldn't be within a thousand miles of the directorship of the IRS" -- Elizabeth Warren grilled IRS commissioner nominee Billy Long so hard that he was left stammering and shaking by the end of her questioning

Biden old, Trump old. Biden good president. Trump bad president.

Make sure the "not in constitutional crisis yet" people see this one.

And SS is our earned money!

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

My Twitter (I refuse to call it by a one letter name) is just a blank screen today. Does this mean I’ve been banned?

Elon Musk should not be anywhere near the federal government. Repost if you agree.

I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials

I always think back to that 2016 Hillary ad in which a piano salesman in New Jersey got stuffed by Trump and had to settle for a fraction of what he was owed because he couldn’t afford litigation

A Shameful, Appalling Spectacle In an Oval Office shitshow for the ages, Trump and Vance try to humiliate Ukraine’s wartime leader Zelensky.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.
