With many parts of the warming globe experiencing less snow and more rain, the Olympics should add a Spring or Fall Olympics with rain-based events

Seriously unreal pass

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

This girls 12u game is from the WSP/Sat Paul association. Talk about grit and love of the game. This is how you play like a girl.

A somber first day at the Capitol for the start of the 2026 Legislative Session - but we’re ready to get back to work. Contact your elected representatives and let us know what you any us to prioritize this year.

For me, I’m prioritizing addressing ICE, lower housing prices, and bonding.

Mary’s Glamour and Beauty Salon on 66th and Nicollet in Richfield is Latina-owned and they NEED CUSTOMERS. If you need a trim, a dye, hell, go get a blowout on a random Wednesday. She posted on TikTok asking for people to book in her salon and help her out. I know some of y’all live in Richfield.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Yes! I co-sign this sentiment.

The underlying problem is that stopping the lawless authoritarianism is ultimately not a legal problem, & there are no actual legal solutions to it. It is a political problem, & the only solution is a political one requiring a majority of votes in the House & 67 votes in the Senate.

“Stop, or I’ll yell stop another 4,400 times again” is not (only) a legal/judicial/Article III problem. It’s the total failure of Article I. The constitutional order is completely non-functional right now.

‘First feline’ Larry marks 15 years as Britain’s political top cat Larry the cat is marking 15 years as Britain’s Chief Mouser at 10 Downing Street, a symbol of stability in turbulent political times.

Larry the cat celebrates 15 years as the British government’s official rodent-catcher and unofficial first feline, a reassuring presence who has served under six prime ministers. Sometimes it seems like they have served under him.

To put this in perspective, the federal government spends *a combined* $33 billion each year on Title I (for low income families) and IDEA (for special needs students).

You LOVE to hear it. #AEWGrandSlam #AEWCollision

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop.

Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough.

Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

1906. Yep. Wise. Not pissed.

Completely agree

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

Today, one day after Homan announced that his death squads were leaving here, Minnesota is unseasonably warm and very sunny. It feels like spring. Snow and ICE is literally melting, and fast.

I know. I know we can't trust these goons, but let me enjoy this too-on-the-nose metaphor for just a bit.

We continue to see no drawdown today with ICE activity in the Phillips neighborhood, Columbia Heights, and Shakopee.

Our pressure is working as the Senate bill to fund DHS did not pass last night. Keep up the pressure by reaching out to your federal representatives.

I would like to hear Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski call a baseball game

‘Not the same town anymore:’ ICE fears hit businesses in Worthington, where 1 in 3 are immigrants • Minnesota Reformer WORTHINGTON — Typically about 10 to 15 cars and their new owners drive off the lot each month at Los Partners Auto Sales in Worthington, a small city in southwest Minnesota where roughly one in three ...

Whenever possible, I like to remind others (and myself) that this isn't just a Twin Cities thing.

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.
