21 years as a lawyer and 22 years as a stand-up comedian are great skills for a 2026 candidate. Platitudes, progressive word salads and hiding behind endorsements are relics of a failed politics for Dems. Vote for J-L in NJ-11

Something to keep in mind about Minnesotans protesting unarmed with guns being pointed at them is that they more or less ALL have access to a gun, but are choosing not to bring one.

Bravery isn't holding a gun. Bravery is standing up to other people holding a gun.

Kash Patel today: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want."

Really?

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Canadian veterans are among those who want an apology from Trump for belittling NATO efforts during the war in Afghanistan. Canada saw heavy combat and suffered steep casualties during the conflict it joined to support the U.S. after the 9/11 attacks.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

The work being done by these observers of ICE to document, illuminate, and share what is being done in Minneapolis, in below freezing temperatures, given all that has transpired is so remarkably courageous. They are being killed for that courage, as ICE further reveals their cruelty and cowardice.

Democrat leaders should be in Minnesota right now, standing side by side with Walz and Frey and the community.

They need to show solidarity and a united front.

They must say Abolish ICE.

They won't but they should. Trump is going to unleash hell on that state.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Canada will do the right thing. We will defend democratic allies from the threats of gangster nations. Either the United States gets Trump in hand or this will go to the next level.
Canada - Greenland - Denmark: lands that are true, north, strong, free.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

1/ Do the caving Democrats need to see a few more children being ripped from the arms of their parents? Do they need a few more specific examples of ACA premiums forcing people to drop insurance in order to eat? Do they need some additional polling showing how unpopular Trump is?

Wolverine populations in Alberta are low enough that they could be listed as a threatened species. Instead, Minister Loewen removed the limit on trapping them.

Please contact the Minister's office to share your concerns about this: todd.loewen@assembly.ab.ca (and cc our office too!).

I just interviewed the amazing @emilyjaynef.bsky.social who was carried out of the Mike Lawler town hall. Emily is a social worker, therapist, activist & inspirational woman from my community & I was so happy to learn from her/help tell her story of truly Standing Up.

Trump: "Canada doesn't have anything the US wants."
Fact check: The US imported $421 Billion in goods from Canada in 2024, the third most of any country and more than Japan, Germany, and the UK combined.
