@PatGarofalo As you know, late-term abortions are incredibly rare and performed for serious medical issues, mostly a threat to the life of the mother. And, of course, abortions after birth would be executions and are illegal in Minnesota and everywhere else.

Some thoughts on the damage done by Donald Trump’s lies and thoughts on how to respond when family and friends repeat the false statements.

Three plays in to Fleck’s “Season 2023.5” and it seems much like Season 2023. #Gophers @GopherFootball

@aaronklemz I feel your 2010 self's amusement and/or bewilderment

The only reasonable solution to the House chaos. https://t.co/vhhNxF9w1L

@Liz_Cheney The only reasonable solution to the House chaos. https://t.co/vhhNxF9w1L

Time for reasonable members of Congress - Democrats and Republicans - to put country ahead of party and personal gain.

@PattyAcomb and @SenGustafson authoring important legislation to expand access to Math Corps so more MN learners get individualized supports. https://t.co/23GOQJoK3r @math_corps #mnleg

Gov. Walz and the DFL have an ambitious agenda. But simply adding dollars to existing programs isn’t sustainable in a state with little population growth and tax rates already among the nation’s highest. Where is the reform?

Guess the Dallas Cowboys aren’t the team some thought they were. Colts revealing the Cowboy reality. Cowboys only scored 27 points in first half and gave up 3 to Vikings. Pathetic #Vikings

@aeklund @mbrodkorb @mngop Locked out...but hope springs eternal!

[Tom Horner @T_Horner]

@mbrodkorb @mngop Birk says they lost by staying true to their anti-abortion position (even though Jensen promised not to do anything ); others blame Henn County, as if a voter there should count less than a voter in Houston County, etc. etc. The truth - bad candidates, no platform, no solutions.

@m777z Good for you. You bought stocks at a discount. Be patient. In two-three years, your $4,000 will be 2x or 3x that amount if you invested wisely and don’t let Chicken Little influence your retirement strategy.

It seems that every demon that has haunted Minnesota sports since at least 1991 is being exorcised in one season, by one team. Good thing fate owes MN sports fans A LOT #Vikingsvsbills

[Tom Horner @T_Horner]

There is not a single candidate for any office who is going to reverse inflation, improve academic scores or make communities safer. So why vote for candidates who offer phony solutions? Vote values…the ones that matter - leadership, integrity and trust. https://t.co/jpqYYubtKm

Rs running for the US Senate in 2022 would be well served to take the lead from their 1982 predecessors. GOP Senate candidates in that midterm election offered solutions, not conspiracies or blame. The 1982 elections led to major achievements.

Both Rs and Ds have had to think differently about reducing poverty. Solutions require both personal responsibility and public support. This approach has helped reduce the poverty rate among children in MN any 78% between 1990 and 2020. Read more https://t.co/lXE9WNxW3L

Debate over today’s announcement that the government will forgive some student debt will emphasize all the wrong issues. Focus on the cost of college, whether a four-year school is the right choice and how lifelong learning can become the norm.

RINOs? Public policy would be better served if we looked to the leadership of Minnesota’s last generation of Republicans Innovating, Not Obstructing.

Pols need to stop praising “common ground” and start the hard work of TRUE compromise: give up something important to me, you do the same and perhaps we can at least start the journey toward a solution. https://t.co/ycLlF01gjv
