TODAY: Hundreds of thousands in Minnesota braved -10°F weather to march through downtown Minneapolis as part of the statewide general strike demanding ICE out of the Twin Cities.

#MLBCentral dives in on the @Mariners star and his all-around impact on the game.
Iceland is the world’s biggest consumer of SSRIs. They’ve had less than 10 gun homicides since 2020; in the US, there have been over 90,000.
Japan is one of the largest video game markets in the world. They have 10 gun deaths per year; the US has nearly 50,000.
It’s the guns.
The Minneapolis shooter fired dozens of rounds through a window at Annunciation Catholic School today.
Metal detectors wouldn’t have stopped him. “School safety” theater will never stop a man with an assault rifle and a country flooded with guns.
That lie — that we can “harden” schools into safe zones — is what politicians sell us so they don’t have to give up the blood money they take from gun lobbyists.
The only thing that will stop gun violence is leaders who love our kids more than they love their guns.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in America.
Today in Minneapolis, that meant stained glass blown apart by bullets and kids slaughtered in church. A parent called it evil. They’re right.
But let’s be clear: this isn’t just evil — it’s policy. It’s the direct result of people in power cashing checks from the gun industry while our kids are murdered. They know children are dying. And they choose it anyway.
We will not live in a country that executes children in schools and churches. We will not accept their cowardice. We demand action. And we will not stop until the killing ends.
Powerful words from the Mayor of Minneapolis “And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.” Action, not talk. Absolutely heartbreaking.
BREAKING BILLIONS: @realDonaldTrump has hit a record high in tariff revenue, collecting a staggering $150 billion from foreign countries since implementing the policy. In July alone, the United States hit a new milestone with $28 billion collected—highlighting the unprecedented impact of his trade agenda.
Whew. I have never seen a more brutal takedown of Trump’s cabinet than Pete Buttigieg here. No academic, high-brow rhetoric. Just simple, vivid language that everyone can understand & get behind. A masterclass from Pete. Watch this.
