CDC is not a Democratic or Republican agency. It's an American agency. One in three employees have been lost in recent months. This is dismantling of our health protections, not reform.

Can see fans filing into the Wonderwall, mostly wearing black.

They'll be silent for two minutes to start the match, then sing "You Are My Sunshine," as well as holding up a banner that Austin FC fans made following the Uvalde shooting - that horrifyingly is making its third MLS stop (after NSH).

The Tani Oluwaseyi deal is official, and the #MNUFC striker is headed to Villareal.

What an opportunity for him. I'm sure hundreds of Loons fans just acquired a favorite team in La Liga.

Minnesota losing a good one, for good reasons.

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

The issues downtown aren’t the mayor’s fault - they’re the result of major shifts beyond the city’s ability to control. I think he’s done good work so far, and rehabilitating downtown will take decades, not years.

I like the way he’s steered policy with a practical but reliably liberal approach.

US utilities plot big rise in electricity rates as data centre demand booms Customers face higher bills to upgrade infrastructure needed to power AI systems

Who ends up paying for this might end up being the big energy fight of our generation. The tech companies have the money and will reap 95% of the benefits, so it seems obvious to me that it should be them, not all of us, but they will fight that tool and nail.

I’m not sure what the conflict of interest was if Sen. Champion was representing those non-profits for free? Especially if he knows through his experience with them that they’re reputable.

Don’t love the practice of the legislature giving public money to non-profits though.

I don’t know why we’re putting all this pressure only on Democrats. I know it’s futile, but we should pressure Republicans too. Not holding them accountable to be adults is part of the reason we’re here.

I tell you what, it was pretty simple and easy to explain the existence of trans people to my kid (at age 5) and it is going to be WAY harder to explain to him why masked and hooded people grabbed a Tufts student off the street in a neighborhood he's in often

From the Minnesota DFL Party: DFL Releases, Responds to Jennifer Carnahan's Lawsuit Threat
ST PAUL - Late yesterday, an attorney for disgraced former Minnesota GOP Chair Jennifer Carnahan sent the Minnesota DFL a letter on Carnahan's behalf threatening to sue the DFL unless the DFL retracts and publicly apologizes for highlighting her ties to child sex trafficker and GOP mega-donor Anton Lazzaro. Today, the DFL is releasing its public response to Carnahan's ridiculous threat:
Jen, You co-hosted a podcast with a child-sex trafficker, socialized with him, and raised huge sums of money from him to support Minnesota Republican candidates. If you follow through on this absurd lawsuit, it will end as one more addition to your long list of failures.
Best of luck on the campaign trail,
Heidi Kraus Kaplan
Minnesota DFL Executive Director

Maybe I’m late to this but please enjoy the DFL’s response to Messy Jen Carnahan’s latest acting out. Would that the national party was as pitch-perfect.

What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced β€” TIME Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

TIME: The intake began with slaps. One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, β€œI’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.” I believed him. But maybe it’s only because he didn’t look like what I had expectedβ€”he wasn’t a tattooed monster. apple.news/AWX3o_VptSOi...

A news article headline reads, "White House Plans to Pause $175 Million for Penn Over Transgender Policy." The subheadline states that the decision is part of a broader effort to push universities to end diversity programming and adopt stricter discipline. Below the text is a photograph of a historic building on the University of Pennsylvania's campus, with a statue in the foreground and leafless trees framing the image. The article is authored by Alan Blinder and Michael C. Bender, published on March 19, 2025.

A news article continues discussing the Trump administration's decision to suspend $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania due to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The article references a White House social media account announcing the move, citing Penn's support of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a justification. A response from Penn states that they have not received official notification and assert they are in compliance with all relevant regulations.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including
