Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.
She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
Raskin tears Kristi Noem a new one: "Apparently when your blankie was left on one of the govt jets and not transported to the new one, your special govt employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fight the pilot -- mid air!"
We have learned - the hard way - how launching a reckless war of choice with no clear endgame can put Americans in greater danger.
Jasmine Crockett is a class act. π
If every person who has attempted or plans to attend a No Kings March votes Blue in the midterm election Congress can be retaken. Think about what this simple act can accomplish. Be sure you double check that you are registered to vote well in advance. This is a very patriotic act .
The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".
David Ellison will soon control CNN. In response, I wrote to Democracy Docket subscribers today about the importance and urgency of building a strong independent media ecosystem.
Whether it is Democracy Docket or another independent news outlet, please support one today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Hey GOP why not make Hillary and bills deposition on Epstein public, as the request?
Former Fox Host @gretchencarlson0.bsky.social pointing out we are not alarmed enough πΊπΈ π¨
Just reupping this image from my newsletter last week, that I hope people will feel free to save and liberally spred around the interwebs. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.
Hillary Clinton just posted her opening statement to the Comer Committee which she is testifying before today. It's part of the Save Donald from Epstein Investigation. The committee has essentially taken over the town of Chappaqua for the purpose. @hillaryclinton.bsky.social
Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right.
Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on.
The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...
Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."
U.S. Reps Ilhan Omar (D-MN) (R) and Angie Craig (D-MN) speak to press after conducting oversight at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in St Paul, Minnesota. The two congressional representatives from Minnesota were touring the facility after being denied access last month. (Photo by David Berding/Getty Images)
Angie Craig: "They removed everyone from the ICE facility 30 minutes before we arrived β this is not the intent of the law. DHS is violating the law"
Ilhan Omar: "What happened today is a blatant attempt to obstruct members of Congress from doing their oversight duties"
If this is an impression, it's the best I've ever heard.
The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didnβt care.
Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.
He never returned to her that day.

I just want to live in a country where the leader canβt enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.
You know, like a democracy.
"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

A tariff βrefundβ mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. Thatβs not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.
Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.
