I…I…um…..I’m gonna need a minute.

Joy!

And the guy who openly said he was a N*zi came in dead last.

Fair enough. But Minnesotans are legally obligated to get really excited about other Minnesotans, especially if they get famous. I call it the far-lefse movement.

Remembering the time I got a hit piece written about me b/c I tweeted “too much” about Tim Walz. In my defense, I’m from Minnesota and our last super famous resident was Prince.

Yesterday two teens trick or treating asked how much they could take from my cauldron of candy. I said “Mmm, maybe leave me half?” and they scooped candy into their pillowcases. One said “C’mon, we only have until 8 and we’re not going to get 20 pounds each at this rate. Love a kid with goals.

THEY CELEBRATE AS COMMUNITIES STARVE.

Grad school orientation taught us teaching assistants that we should apply for SNAP because we were only making $10K a year to teach classes. So. Lotta business/academic ecosystems supplement their bottom line with SNAP dollars.

I knocked in Capehart, my friends knocked in Capehart…that being said, I’m 100% behind wards & a strong mayor model.

There are so many terrible things about SNAP funding being willfully throttled, and just one of them is being an org trying to figure out how to help without being overwhelmed.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

For the first time ever, the USDA is refusing to tap emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going. Millions of families already paying too much for food, healthcare & housing now face a crisis. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Met @uaw.org president Shawn Fain at a labor event today!

Public works came to look at my street for repaving. I told them we all wanted to keep the speed bump because it worked. I added “plus, it’s damn fun to see the sparks when some asshole comes flying down the block.”

Feels like I picked a good day to open my inflatable costume dry cleaning business

I am absolute trash at estimating crowd size. Like TRASH. I looked out today at a crowd confirmed to be between 2000 and 3000 people and thought “Dang, that must be two-three dozen folks!”

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

I had a front row seat to what CBP/ICE did to someone who is in the US LEGALLY.

Happy Wednesday!

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

The nominative determinism of this specific atrocity is off the charts here.

Proud to be a member of AFT affiliate PATFA!

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

@martinheinrich.bsky.social, you spoke of Dems needing more candidates like Graham Platner. You’re right, we do. We just can’t seem to get party leaders to agree.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?
