If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.
If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.
But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.
Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?
There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Either way, it’s your and my tax dollars, and it’s absolutely infuriating that the man who set the fire now claims to be the one helping to put it out.

When Congress passed and Trump signed the bill that reopened the government, that included another $26 billion to fill the CCC’s coffers.

Trump‘s claim that the money that will be paid out to farmers comes from tariff revenue is - hold onto your hats - a lie.
The funds will come from the newly replenished Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), which up until a couple weeks ago only had $4 billion in it.
