Murry Gunty, the founder and CEO of Blackstreet Capital Holdings, used his private investment firm to buy the teams on his son’s path to NCAA Division I college hockey.

Then, he made the pathway more expensive for almost everyone else. https://t.co/HKJmzYxCxm

@SchlossmanGF Where does the depth chart stand now? With the freshman anticipated to come how many spots left to fill?

[Rep. Betty McCollum @BettyMcCollum04]

Republican Senators will soon vote to allow a Chilean company to mine in the BWCA watershed.

Who asked for this? The billionaire owner of mining conglomerate Antofagasta – who happens to be Ivanka Trump’s former landlord. https://t.co/HLUO0O7VMw

The Trump Administration tried to kill this lawsuit with a backroom sweetheart deal.

Thankfully, state AGs kept the fight going.

•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

🚨BREAKING: St. Paul police violated constitutional rights to protect ICE…

And a judge just shut it down instantly.

Anti-ICE protester, Emily Heather Phillips, was arrested for “disrupting a religious service” outside Cities Church yesterday…

Except she wasn’t inside the church, she wasn’t blocking anyone from going to church, and wasn’t doing anything illegal.

She was across the street… (as seen in the video)

Protesting a pastor, David Easterwood, who also works as an ICE field office director…

This was targeted political speech, on public property… and police still arrested her anyway.

And somehow that turned into FOUR criminal charges.

Then it went to court… and immediately collapsed.

The judge’s exact words: “she couldn’t find any probable cause.”

No probable cause means this arrest should have never happened.

You don’t get to override the First Amendment because someone with power doesn’t like being protested…

And you don’t get to arrest people for standing across the street just to protect an ICE official from criticism.

That’s using the law as a weapon… and hoping no one notices.

@JLazzy23 Plante would have had 80 points in the ECAC that’s why

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

Amazon paid $4.2 BILLION less in taxes this year than they did last year—even though they made MORE money.

Eli Lilly paid $500 MILLION less—even though they brought in $13 BILLION more in income.

That's almost $5 BILLION we could have used to boost working people. Gone.

It's been 437 days since Trump was going to lower grocery prices on day one.

[Matt Strickland @MattForVA]

This isn’t a small deal. Restaurant Depot is where most mom & pop restaurants go to buy inventory because Sysco is so expensive.

Restaurant Depot was privately owned. Sysco is owned by… you guessed it, BlackRock & Vanguard.

Now private equity can control pricing for food costs with zero competition. Just like they did with housing.

This should be an anti-trust violation, but we have politicians that work for Big Corp, not us.

[Ms. K tweets @whatMsKsaid]

yeah, i definitely feel LESS SAFE knowing this man gets drunk & carries a loaded gun around all the time.

MN GOP politician "repeatedly told police he had not been drinking" & was “sober cabbing” passengers before breathalyzer showed a BAC of 0.142%-0.13%. His passenger, another GOP state rep was carrying a gun.

Another story you won't see on Fox News.

[Lauren @cabsav456]

Trump is unilaterally redirecting $1.25 billion in taxpayer money for foreign aid to his personally controlled "Board of Peace."

This isn't even a normal U.S. government entity. It's a "public international organization" he created by executive order, naming himself as chairman for life. He gets veto power, picks the members, sets the agenda, & controls how the money flows, with no real oversight or auditing built in.

Congress is supposed to control spending & appropriations. They're the ones who can (and should) stop this.

If Republicans won't even ask questions about funneling billions of taxpayer dollars into a "board" Trump himself owns for life, I'm seriously done voting for them for a while. It's beyond ridiculous at this point.

@CRoumeliotis Lucky it’s not a pike

[Minnesota DFL @MinnesotaDFL]

1. Skip half the Education Finance committee about absenteeism.
2. Drink with fellow Republican @WalterHudson at Burger Moe's before session.
3. Vote to keep high-capacity magazines on the streets of Minnesota (after several drinks).
4. Get arrested for suspected drunk driving.
5. Smile for your picture! 🙂

Yo @nickshirleyy I found some fraud to investigate

[Natural Resources Democrats @NRDems]

Donald Trump Jr. bought into a company. 3 months later, his dad's Pentagon handed them $620 million in taxpayer dollars. Democrats forced a vote to subpoena Don Jr. today to come clean about this shady deal.

But Republicans blocked it and even shut down the hearing to protect him.
