Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope.

It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.

You know when you tap a YouTube video to see how much longer it's got left? I wish you could do that to people when they’re talking to you

Dear Democratic politicians, may I make a humble suggestion?

Stop with the constant use of the F word. Not only is it tacky, it loses its impact when you do it so much, and honestly it looks forced like you’re trying to be tough.

Just a suggestion.

β€˜Cancel’ comes from a Latin word meaning β€œto make like a lattice.”

When people needed to annul or void a document, they sometimes would mark it with crosshatches

XXXXX

which resembled a lattice.

So the document became β€˜canceled.’

...we hope this post doesn’t get us that.

@mcuban.bsky.social Here's an idea: Give states that successfully expand Medicaid a discount on individual Federal income tax rates.

Actress Juliette Lewis is standing up to hate and showing her support for the Jewish community:
β€œI made a sign to publicly show what my Jewish friends already know β€” I love and support them. They’ve had my back for decades, and I’m here for them now.”
Thank you, Juliette, for standing up to hate.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:

If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.

If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Pretty clear
