Yes! Do you remember that?

"And so the oligarchs fell in line and ceased to be a source of concern to Putin. Instead of alternative power centers, they became vassals. Which is exactly what Jeff Bezos has just taught Jamie Dimon and every other important American businessman." https://t.co/qlhL3CDPas

During disasters, it’s critical to avoid spreading false information.

🔹Rumor: FEMA will only provide $750 to #Helene survivors.
🔹Fact: $750 Serious Needs Assistance is only ONE type of assistance available to help pay for essential emergency supplies.

Everyone needs to see this!

The images we're seeing in the wake of Hurricane Helene in Virginia and elsewhere are devastating. My heart breaks for those killed, injured, or missing.

During this difficult moment, let's all do our part to help our neighbors in need.

If you receive an accidental payment through Venmo, ignore it.

Scammers are sending "accidental" payments through Venmo using stolen credit cards asking you to send the money back because it was a mistake. If you send them money, it'll come out of your bank account.

The 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry captured a blood-stained, bullet-pierced Virginia battle flag at Gettysburg on this date in 1863.

Virginia has been asking for it back for over 100 years.

When asked about it at the White House in 2000, Governor Jesse Ventura said, "Why? I mean, we won. … We took it. That makes it our heritage.”

The previous day, the 1st Minnesota had suffered 82% casualties when they heroically charged headlong into enemy forces to shore up a gap in Union lines. It is not an overstatement to say that their gallantry possibly saved not only the battle, but the war.

Of their sacrifice on July 2nd, General Winfield Scott Hancock said that "no soldiers on any field, in this or any other country ever displayed grander heroism," and insisted that "there is no more gallant deed recorded in history."

In a speech in Cannon Falls, Minnesota on the Fourth of July 1928, President Calvin Coolidge went so far as to say that these men's heroism that day entitled them to the rank of "saviors of their country."

Think about that next time you see a Confederate symbol on Minnesota soil.

The Biden Economy: May signified the 28th consecutive month with an unemployment rate below 4%, a milestone last achieved in the late 1960s.

Steady Job Growth: The U.S. economy has added an average of 245,500 jobs per month so far this year. This consistent job creation…

Four years ago today, the Dow Jones opened at 19,830.

Today the Dow closed at 39,110.

If you have a retirement account or an education savings account, your accounts are better off now than they were four years ago.

Thurman Munson should be in the goddamn Hall of Fame. Higher career WAR than obvious future HOFer Buster Posey despite his tragic death at age 32. Yankee captain, AL MVP, and looks more like a catcher should fucking look than maybe anyone ever. A travesty he’s not in. Pass it on.

Please immediately retweet this ad from Jan 6 Police Officer Harry Dunn announcing his campaign for congress. We have all seen how quickly twitter likes to bury these ads and news. Let’s make sure EVERYONE sees this:
