It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

FWIW, this is sec. 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution:

Lots of activity at Whipple this morning, more than usual. Supposed early morning activity in Saint Paul as well. Head on a swivel.

We're riding a public health ship that absolutely has no rudder.

Shams: Kyle Anderson has agreed to a buyout with the Grizzlies; plans to sign with the Wolves.

Meet the Annunciation parents mobilizing to end gun violence in Minnesota The parents’ advocacy group — Annunciation Light Alliance — is prepared to push for gun violence prevention at the Minnesota Legislature and beyond.

Inside the Minnesota Capitol sit two desks with the belongings of 8‑year‑old Fletcher Merkel and 10‑year‑old Harper Moyski, killed in a mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. The installation is part of events by the Annunciation Light Alliance, a parent-led advocacy group.

Jackie Flavin has experienced the unspeakable, yet Minnesota Republicans continue to look away while she begs for common-sense solutions to spare other families this same devastation.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

This has nothing to do with fraud.

The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

Embracing Putin while withholding critical support for Ukraine makes us look like a feckless friend and partner.

And making allies purchase weapons just to reroute them to Ukraine? That isn’t leadership—it’s immoral.

Harry Kaiser’s daughter, Lydia, was shot in the head and wounded with an AR-15 at Annunciation Catholic School. Nearly six months later, Minnesota lawmakers have still done nothing.

“This time, we are not just moving on.”

Jaden McDaniels has arrived for the Wolves. Jamal Crawford saw it coming first (Gift Article) In his sixth season, McDaniels has developed from a defensive specialist to a true two-way player. Crawford knew he was destined for more.

In 2021, I got a call from Jamal Crawford proclaiming that the Wolves found a third star.

So it was fitting that, 5 years later, Crawford was on the TV call for one of the best games of Jaden McDaniels’ career.

This time, it was my turn to call him.

Today I’m proposing a ban on assault rifles, high-capacity magazines, binary triggers, firearms without serial numbers, and more.

Today marks four years since Russia invaded Ukraine. These are some thoughts (recorded yesterday) on what Ukrainians have done for all of us and what we can learn from them.

As Europe's most brutal war reaches its 4th year, we're launching Sky Defense — a lasting fundraiser for air defenses to protect Ukraine from terrorist russia.

Join in — help Ukraine withstand this war:

Well done, Lydia ❤️

Lydia Kaiser, an eighth-grade student at Annunciation Catholic School, shared her harrowing experience of surviving a mass shooting, calling on lawmakers to take action on gun violence.

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an ‘unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

Absolutely enraging. ICE kidnapped a 16 year old child in Mpls, refused to let him go home, sent him to a youth shelter in Michigan and LOST TRACK OF HIM. The family’s lawyer used an investigator to trace a phone call and locate him. (🎁 link)
