This is too much.

This is a vile and completely unacceptable attack on the Somali community.

And after the assassination of former Speaker of the MN House Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark in Minnesota this year, the constant targeting of Rep. Omar by Donald Trump is incredibly dangerous.

STAY LOUD everyone. Republicans in congress DO NOT CARE if 20 million+ people cannot afford healthcare in 2026. Even Trump knows need to extend ACA tax credits. Republicans want to destroy protections ACA offers (want you to be denied for pre-existing conditions, want lifetime/annual caps again...)

I completely support their resignations. 6 (lots of variables with filling vacant seats) and we have the majority. They should speak with their feet. Bye bye.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.

I still can’t figure out why the taxpayers of this country have to pay for FBI security details for the girlfriend of the Director.

The Trump regime's cruelty is only surpassed by its INCOMPETENCE at every level. Bottom line - THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PUBLIC.

Your Thanksgiving turkey could be more expensive this year. Tariffs are a big culprit Turkey prices tend to rise closer to holidays such as Thanksgiving. But tariffs and bird flu could dramatically drive up the cost of turkeys this year.

Trump's tariffs are making Thanksgiving more expensive.

Congress has the Constitutional authority to levy tariffs -- it's time we reclaim our power and end this unnecessarily costly and chaotic tariff war.

Our farmers have been destroyed by the Trump regime. They lied about China’s commitment.

Five years ago, we all applauded nurses, public health, and health care workers every evening for saving lives.

Today, the federal government does not consider these workers professional.

This says everything about the state of US health care.

He literally tweeted this out.

β€œSHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW.”

This plaque is displayed at West Point. It’s the law. Not sedition.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.

"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

We already have a nursing shortage crisis. This will only make it worse.

Another cruel and reckless move from the president to terrorize immigrants, install fear in everyone, and desperately try to distract from the fact that he is at the center of the biggest scandal in presidential history.

X's new location transparency feature unleashes questions about origins of MAGA accounts The function, which shows that a slew of MAGA-branded accounts are apparently based outside the U.S., also stirred speculative outrage over where the Department of Homeland Security account was create...

As we’ve been saying for months, X’s new location feature is exposing what we’ve been warning about, many of the loudest MAGA accounts aren’t even in the USA. We’ve been tracking this behavior and helping people learn how to spot bot activity, and this update has made it easier than ever to see.

And now, the case against Letitia James is dismissed too, same rationale but minus the statute of limitations complication.

RFK Jr poses a grave risk to the health of everyone in our nation. He needs to be removed from his position. Vaccines save lives.

Lowering costs for the unfathomably rich, and raising costs for everyone else.

Insults, threats, and pointless resolutions -- just another week in the Trump presidency and the Republican majority.

It was an honor to give the keynote at the Allied Charities of Minnesota conference in Duluth Friday night and hold space with people who give so much to their communities.

Walmart said their β€œcheaper” Thanksgiving basket proves prices are down. What they didn’t say is that it has fewer items & cheaper substitutes.

Thanksgiving dinner is up 10% this year and some staples are up nearly 60%!
