It's not a matter of "cutting if the head of the snake", even if they deserve it (and he did). It's changing the landscape so snakes won't flourish.

News about those school girls was devastating.

Since it's been a pretty damn crazy day, here's a gratuitous shot of me grilling ribs.

I just downloaded #claude. I'd bet this is one of their best days for downloads in program history. Nice to see companies not yielding core principles.

Just a guess here but I don't think any of the Epstein victims give a damn what the Dow is doing. Anyone who abused children need to face justice. Period. Stop.

In college in Chicago 20 years ago I had a 1BR lakeside apartment for $650/month. Now I'm paying that just for gas and electric. Completely unsustainable.

"A Senate committee report released in October warns that America could lose nearly 100 million jobs to AI and automation within the next decade. The technology is transforming work faster than the government, companies, and employees can respond."

We are all created equally, but we are not all treated equally. The more you dig into that fact, the more pervasive and pronounced the examples you'll find.

My nine year old son asked me why our government is killing its people. Not a conversation I was ready for.

The depravity of all of this has been really hard to watch. But I've been amazed by the people of Minneapolis supporting each other.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

This is frigging insane. Trump uncertainty coupled with data centers. Completely unsustainable.

It's about time for a march on Washington. Everyone who is fed up with this heinous crap, all 50 states. But knowing Trump, he'd probably make some glib joke about how he always gets the biggest crowds.
