@stuwhitney guy spent all that time kicking poor people off SNAP and no one cared.

Text from former GOP Senate Pres. Dave Osmek, who is very much not holding back right now: "Any convention that sees fit to have a Moment of Silence for Derek Chauvin should not be able to chose what flavor juice is in their sippy cup, much less the next Governor of Minnesota"

The video got millions of views and @CharlieBerens instantly became the most famous face of a burgeoning resistance movement in Wisconsin that is sounding the alarm on the expansion of hyperscale AI data centers. My @GuardianUS profile. https://t.co/KJikGFCNep

@rfhirschfeld sorry all windbreaks had to be removed so the 48 row planters could turn.

I have traveled the world and seen more than most human beings. I have never seen anything that compares to what it looks and feels like in the Boundary Waters when dawn arrives. 

You can stand on a portage trail and feel the weight of time in a way that is difficult to replicate. People have moved through this landscape for generations without fundamentally altering it.

A single vote just stripped protections from the BWCA. Nothing’s been built yet. No drills, no blasting. But the assumption that this place was off-limits? Gone.

The case for mining is real, we need it for the future we keep talking about. But the question isn’t whether we can extract. It’s whether we should do it here.

A new Soviet style five year farm plan with more chronic welfare for wealthy landowners. How conservative!

[American Conservation Coalition Action @ACCAction]

This is a big win for farmers and conservation.

The House passed the 2026 Farm Bill, and ACC Action is encouraged by key wins for conservation funding and the removal of pesticide liability protections.

ACC Action looks forward to working with our allies and Senate partners to make this bill even stronger.

I hope you're taking screen shots of all of the pro-copper mining folks talking about MN's strict standards and all of the regulations we have and how good they are for next month, when they revert to cauterwauling about how unreasonable and terrible they are.

[Don Carr @donpcarr]

@TornadoNate can still buy flat screen TVs and flights to FLA with farm subsidies.

@RepPeteStauber i am a small business owner on the north shore and this will hurt my business.

[Shea Serrano @SheaSerrano]

call me old fashioned but i just DO NOT agree with this new advanced analytics strategy the wolves have of missing all their free throws

[robert @rfhirschfeld]

I wish American Conservation Coalition promoted the Boundary Waters Wilderness half as much as they do damming rivers.

[Don Carr @donpcarr]

@Michele_Tafoya small business owner on the north shore here, no the can't and you don't care about us if this is your campaign's message.

[Don Carr @donpcarr]

@TornadoNate what time is dinner?

[Don Carr @donpcarr]

@RepPeteStauber small business owner on the north shore here, you just screwed us over for a foreign owned company.

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O

@zach_freimark hope you're digging into the 2,563 farm subsidy recipients that received $19,971,992 in federal welfare payments that live --not on the farm -- but in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Bloomington next! https://t.co/cJG7AOSYBX

This person is upset about nitrates in the water supply, yet promotes a diet high in meat and milk. Nitrates in the water supply primarily come from farmed animal manure and from growing crops to feed farmed animals. https://t.co/31HAdA8Ncz

[robert @rfhirschfeld]

Ecomodernists, radical environmentalists, fiscal conservatives, agrarian nationalists—even Matt Yglesias—all agree that ethanol & the RFS are terrible policy.

It’s a price support program for a favored class propped up by Midwest politicians & The Farm Bureau/Corn Growers Assoc.

@schuelkecorn @MidwestGolfJake only if its @ChonkHull's recipe.

[Don Carr @donpcarr]

@DanielleBFranz Good grief that's not true.
