BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

I really wonder what my high school teacher for Western Civ (freshman year during Iraq/Kuwait) and later Arab World (yes that was a class in one of the most conservative US counties in 1993) would be thinking of this moment in time.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO?

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

The suspect has been identified as Vance Boelter. MAGA propagandists on the other site are claiming he's a Dem, because he was appointed to a state board by Walz (hundreds are...every year).
They leave out that Boelter's online profile is as an anti-abortion zealot. Owns a private security company

Melissa Hortman was an outstanding public servant. She passed legislation that enshrined freedoms and increased opportunity for the people of Minnesota. I saw her impact firsthand when I was with her in Minnesota and will remember her compassion, humor, and sense of service.
