Derek Chauvin senselessly murdered George Floyd in cold blood in front of a child. Choosing to honor him is a disgusting yet unsurprising move from the Minnesota Republican Party.
Congratulations to @peggyflanagan on winning the Minnesota DFL’s endorsement for U.S. Senate by an overwhelming majority.
Minnesotans, and all Americans, are ready for leaders who will take on the billionaire class and fight for working families.
hey @RepJoshG you can condemn my opinion on israel in a public setting to my face, any time - any place (not israel) of your choosing. i think your constituents find your views on israel to be far more morally repugnant than mine!
I grew up in a dark place. I love my family and I’m grateful for the lessons I learned but I suffered a lot along the way. When I was in high school I saw a Craigslist ad of a farm looking to get rid of some puppies. I drove 2 hours in my beat up Acura and with my money saved from my retail job I bought my best friend. I named him Swift. He became a light that I never knew I could have.
I didn’t know what true love was before him. I had never had the chance to witness it. But I quickly learned the definition because of him. He held me thru breakups and hard ships. He held me when I lost my mom. He held me when I lost my identity. He held me when I couldn’t get up. Some struggles I’ve faced over the years made me wonder if I should be alive or if I should let myself go. But I always had a tether holding me. My beautiful boy who loved me unconditionally in a way that kept me here. Some days I didn’t even have it in me to get out of bed and Swift would remind me it’s time to get up. I have never loved anyone or anything the way I love Swift.
For 15 years he was the light of my life. The reason for my world. And now he’s not here. I don’t know how I’m going to survive.
For 15 years he was the first thing I saw in the morning and the last thing I saw before falling asleep.
When we would go for walks he wouldn’t watch the path he would turn back and constantly make sure I was still with him. What he didn’t know is I needed him as much as he needed me.
To say I’m heart broken is an understatement. I’m shattered down to my core. The only consistent love I’ve ever had in my life is gone. I would move mountains for Swift, and I promise I fucking tried. I’ve lost a part of my soul with him.
I wish I could do more. I wish I got more. I would give anything in the world right now to have him next to me. I’ve experienced a lot of grief in my life but this is a rare kind. I’ve loved Swift more than I loved myself on numerous occasions. I would do it all again. Every appointment, every cancelled plan, every adjustment in my schedule to make sure he got what he needed. I love that dog more than I love life itself. I hope he knows that. Thank you all for loving him too.

I am 100% behind Devin Booker here. Last night was not a good look for our league. Let me be clear, we didn’t lose because of officiating, but that doesn’t make last night any less important. If the referees are going to demand respect from the players - as they should - then the players should demand respect from the referees. When a referee is missing calls and clearly disrespecting the players, almost mocking them, they must be held accountable. Nobody who loves this game enjoyed watching that last night. They want to see the players compete at the highest level. The league needs be far more aggressive about this kind of thing. All players and all fans deserve it.
Some Democrats in Congress are SO hell-bent on violence that they won't even consider stopping the bombs being used for war crimes.
It doesn't have to be like this though!
That's why we're behind peace candidates like @OliverALarkin who's challenging this warmonger.
"How can Democrats claim to be the party of change, going into the November midterms and then 2028, if they’re led by someone who always resists it?"
My case for the Dems chucking out Chuck Schumer, especially after his recent arms-to-Israel vote:
https://t.co/apGssvRt68
Khanna: Forty Senate Democrats voted no on sending bulldozers to Israel. Schumer was just one of seven Democrats to vote yes. He’s out of touch with his caucus, with the Democratic base, with the country—he needs to step aside.
Do not lose hope. This fight is not over. We should all be so proud of the coalition we built to fight this.
Tribal Nations. Outdoorsmen. Conservationists. Public lands advocates. But most importantly, Minnesotans who deeply appreciate what these waters mean to all of us and our shared obligation to safeguard them for our kids, our grandkids, and every generation thereafter.
One day, the shoe will be on the other foot, and they will regret what they did to the Boundary Waters today — because this was a mistake. They’ve set a new precedent that no public lands are ever truly safe, including those in Montana. Utah. The Dakotas. Idaho. Republicans privately told me they knew this is wrong, and I wish they had voted their conscience.
Tonight, we take a much-needed rest. Tomorrow, we figure out what comes next.
Save the Boundary Waters.
One of our most sacred obligations is protecting beloved natural treasures for generations to come. Unfortunately, the U.S. Senate is poised to betray that responsibility, columnist Jill Burcum writes. https://t.co/7bjfHhE8BI
Chuck Schumer was one of 7 Senate Democrats to vote to send bulldozers to Israel. 40 Democratic Senators voted no.
Mr. Schumer, you are out of touch with our base and the nation.
Step aside.
