Some Dems want to stay here to fight, but if Elon is giving $45 million a month to Trump, staying helps fund that.
Facebook: BlueSky: Threads: Mastodon:
This is by far the worst candidate I've ever seen. Twenty years ago, this guy's social media would've gotten him kicked out of the party. Today, they endorsed him because hate and anger are virtues for the GOP.
It's amazing how far the
@mngop
has fallen.
Putting aside what many have already pointed out, that guns are strictly forbidden in airports/Federal courthouses, one armed guard in every public school in the US (84,000 schools) (at a 50K per year salary) that alone would be a $4.2 billion cost.
Or you could pass gun laws.
1) Didn't you take last weekend off?
2) 500 Billion dollar slush fund; we can never know who gets the money?
3) You're going to gut Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare to give socialism to the corporations and wealthy.
4) Stop playing politics Joni, and help ALL Americans!
It’s unacceptable that my Dem colleagues are holding up immediate relief for workers, families, seniors, & businesses across US. This is a bipartisan package – many sections of the bill were written by/with Dems. This isn’t a time for politics; it’s a time for leadership & action
Nice shout-out to

To the MAGA fools who are mocking and degrading
@KamalaHarris
telling
@JoeBiden
"I love you,"
This tells us EVERYTHING about you. It tells us how you were raised, your morality, and what scares you.
You guys are WEIRD!
Dear
@MinnesotaDFL
,
You need a list of all the things you've passed this session. Not a list with generic entries like "The Infrastructure Bill," but rather a running list of specific things that the people can relate to.
You've helped the people, now let them know it!
WOW!!! You rarely see any US city break the top 50 of happiest world cities, but look at Minneapolis!!!
Number
#18
! IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!! GOLD STATUS!!!
DO NOT BELIEVE THE HATERS! This city kicks ass and is AWESOME!!!
WAIT A SEC!
This can't be right! We just had an ENTIRE year (up to 11/8) where the MN news media parroted the GOP talking points on Minneapolis, labeling it a 'No Go War Zone!"
Instead, they could've just counted the crimes themselves, but they didn't.
Only 9K showed up, on a Saturday, with all of Red Minnesota on his doorstep, in a fairly evenly split city of 71K, in a state of 5.7 million.
Unless something catastrophic happens, he will not win Minnesota. That is a MAGA self gratification fantasy.
An outstanding commentary from
@JohnFugelsang
!
He's right. The media deserves a lot of blame for allowing the least Christian people to be portrayed as the most Christian.
MN MAGA Twitter: "Sure
@Tim_Walz
and the
@MinnesotaDFL
are popular at the state fair, but that's in the Twin Cities, where TWO THIRDS OF THE STATE'S POPULATION LIVES! Outside of the Twin Cities metro (not including Duluth and other towns), he's unpopular, so...THERE! GOTCHA!"
I can't wait for
#Sinclair
to explain why a story about Trump being unfit for office not only doesn't get the same "all stations must report it" treatment, but refuses to let even ONE station report on it.
#LiberalMediaBiasMyAss
@atrupar
OUTSTANDING info.
Minneapolis isn't top 3 as far as worst crime cities in Minnesota. Neither is St. Paul.
Bemidji, Brainerd, Waite Park.
If you combine Minneapolis and St. Paul, they actually are 5th worst, with Mankato in 4th.
Right Wing media will not cover this!
Twin Cities Journalists:
If your coverage of the end of the Legislative session only bad-mouths Democrats, AND AT NO POINT YOU BRING UP THE INTENTIONAL 3-WEEK DERAILING CAMPAIGN OF THE GOP, then you are intentionally leaving out the cause of the problem.
Stop doing mngop PR!
On Twitter the far right/gun kook response to the Burnsville shooting is:
1) Gov. Walz was the actual shooter
2) Arrest/kill all Black people
3) We can’t pass any gun laws ever. Shooting deaths of police are an unfortunate but acceptable side effect of the 2nd Amendment. 1/6
Please, sweet LORD do this. It will be a hoot when your counties take an immediate hit because the Twin Cities metro is no longer subsidizing you (it'll be a boon for us), and wait until South Dakota's cuts the budget even further! By the way, Mankato and St. Cloud want to stay.

@IronRangeRepub
Now that you have seen what tyranny looks like in this legislative session do you think you might support Greater Minnesota breaking away from that tyranny? One party rule is and will destroy Minnesota without a second thought.
@MinnesotaMiners
It’s the rural MN Republican 2-step!
Step 1: ‘How dare the DFL try to regulate fertilizer! You’re trying to ruin our way of life!’
Step 2: ‘How dare the DFL allow my water supply to be poisoned with fertilizer! You’re trying to ruin our way of life!’
After my truthful post about how the Right has failed Rural MN, I've had a few Rightos insist their counties fund/subsidize the Twin Cities metro.
Nothing could be further from the truth. From December:
Any person who thinks Jesus and/or the Founding Fathers would look at the near-hourly gun slaughters in America and say "this is what we wanted" is a complete and total idiot.
You shouldn't be in control of a spoon, let alone the Supreme Court.
#RepublicanAmericaSucks
!
Republicans: "How DARE the DNC use the new Minnesota flag to disgrace Minnesota! This couldn't get any worse!"
Republicans, 30 seconds later: "...AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
If a person wants to have an affair or get frisky with their partner, fine.
Just don't throw your Christian/family values hollowness at us, implying you're something you're clearly not.
Also don't demand a Democrat resign for the same EXACT behavior!
First thing today, help me identify THIS man. He apparently was the one who started to break windows. He doesn't seem to be with the protestors and he attacks the guy filming him.
WOW! You really have no clue, do you?
Almost all of the rural counties in MN are dependent on the metro area's tax dollars to subsidize their budgets. The rural counties ARE the welfare counties.
MSP would be SO much better if we just kept all of our tax dollars here! BYE!
Looking at MN School Board results:
The Minnesota Parents Alliance DID NOT have a good night. Their numbers:
8 wins, 31 losses
2 of those wins were only because there were the same number of candidates as open seats.
2 races are Too Close to call. Nothing from St. Peter. 1/
Tell me you wrote the articles without watching the speech without saying "I wrote the articles without watching the speech."
Trump was anything but "healing" or "unifying."
We're
#5
!
And as the
@mngop
tells people to leave/don't come here, note our worst ranking (out of 50) is 21.
If you Rightos hate it here so much, LEAVE!
Hey, good news everyone! He's leaving!
My guess is Johnny Crybaby will be back in MN for healthcare when he realizes what a freaking nightmare it is in the States he is going to.
The Rapture is a creation of John Darby from the 1830s. It's not divine. It didn't come from Jesus. It came from a man with an agenda, and it is still used today by people with agendas.
It'd be like me insisting Jesus wanted us to eat Beef N' Cheddars every day, for piety!

The damage Draz did to the
@mngop
with his petty little speech...
Minneapolis/St. Paul has the lowest inflation of any major city in the nation.
Prepare for Republicans to start screaming "NO IT DOESN'T!!!" Reality is hard for them.
Republicans - "I hate living in Minnesota! It's horrible. I want to rip my side of the state off and join the Dakotas!"
SAME EXACT REPUBLICANS WHEN YOU POINT OUT MAYBE THEY SHOULD MOVE - "How dare you suggest I abandon the state I love! YOU'RE the person full of hate!"
Okay...
Another MN political observation:
Heard from 4 people in the last week that Republican candidates for the MN House in the Twin Cities have come to their door and presented themselves as Independents. No mention whatsoever they're running under the GOP banner.
They're lying!
Little Roos MN is a local kid’s clothing company in Chaska and they’re currently undergoing constant harassment for having a drag story time event on their calendar. Show they some love by attending the event Saturday or send a message of support on the socials!
I know 3 people who have family members in red states who are moving here and one who has a daughter who is transferring to the U of M.
Welcome to Minnesota! Come on in! The water (for three months of the year) is fine!
I would cut him today. Dead serious. Anyone who pretends to be a leader, but who is so stupid and selfish in their actions, will never actually be one.
The narrative I've heard from outstate Republicans is that "NO ONE IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS WAS OUT TRICK OR TREATING BECAUSE IT'S A WARZONE!"
Said by people who think going to Waconia is visiting the Cities. The most delicious war zone ever!
@DCSOSheriff
In 10 months, 9 law enforcement officers have been killed in the upper Midwest by guns and your biggest concern on a day two officers and a first responder were killed is to attack

Wow.
Yesterday, over 125K fewer Republicans voted than Democrats in the MN Senate Primary.
Royce White won the endorsement with ONLY 38% of Republicans.
Klobuchar has some of the best coattails in politics.
White winning was a disaster for the
@mngop
.
I'll add the FACT people who wanted to overthrow the government (Flynn, Powell, Giuliani) were pursuing off-the-record meetings with Trump, away from White House counsel, to go over their ultimate goal.
Flynn should be arrested immediately.
If this murder happened in Minneapolis, the outrage would be intense.
But a road-raging white guy murders a veteran in rural MN and you probably never even heard of the story.
Outrage should not be dictated solely by where the crime happened.
Those flags aren't even close. And did you notice the star on the Somali flag is actually a copy of the star on the US flag? Are you saying you hate the US flag? Traitor!
Thank you for posting this because it points out how insane/bigoted you have to be to make this comparison.
Thanks to all the MAGA losers who exploded this weekend over a flag, proving my prediction correct.
I've heard from conservatives in 3 red states who all say they like it. It stands out from most states. Utah and SC both have really good ones too.
FOR GOD'S SAKE DEMOCRATS!
Biden's been in office of 14 months, got a pandemic under control, passed a Infrastructure Bill which is SO GOOD Republicans are trying to take credit for it, jump started the economy, and brought back NATO...
Act like you're winning, because you ARE!
Trump's coming to MN. In other news, kneepads are sold out in the metro...
WAIT A SECOND! May 17th? Isn't that the day
#Trump
got off of his trial to go to Barron's graduation???
One post says graduation is at 7 PM FL time. Did he lie to the judge?
Nothing would make me happier than Kyle Rittenhouse living a long life, alone, in a trailer, in a desolate part of the country, immersed in paranoia and fear, scared to death of the world outside. He deserves that.
Comment from a former conservative who moved to MN 4 years ago:
"I was scared because I'd heard this state was horrible: high taxes, long winters, no opportunities, not family-friendly. I was wrong. The quality of life here is amazing (outside of winter). We're never leaving!"
A lot of people have already said it, but it's so true:
@therealroseanne
Barr wanted to put forward a realistic portrayal of a
#Trump
supporter. In the end, she absolutely nailed it.
Republicans in Minnesota:
"How dare the
@MinnesotaDFL
, who were just elected into total power in the state, pass the bills they said they would pass while campaigning, without every Republican voting along in unison. THIS IS CLASSIC OVERREACH!!!"
Hey
@GregAbbott_TX
and the defenders of the failed free market power grid in Texas.
Look at this map!
Minnesota is WAY UP on the northern tier. MN was FAR colder than you, by 30-40 degrees! We have wind and solar power, but we don't have the power outages! That's on YOU!
This is a political stunt.
The majority of schools with SROs still have them in place. They're working under the new rules.
Politically motivated school districts and PDs are the ones CHOOSING to remove their SROs. That's on them, not anyone else.
Does anyone else ever remember consistently seeing wildfire smoke impacting us prior to about 5 years ago?
Are climate change deniers at the point where the plug their nose, close their eyes, and scream “it’s perfect!”?
Birk's kids go to private school (they'll be immune to the draconian cuts Jensen wants to make to public schools). AND he'd directly benefit from the GOP's plan to shift Public Ed dollars to wealthy private schools. His kids will be rolling in taxpayer cash at everyone's expense!
Ads against
@drscottjensen
comically say he would cut taxes at the expense of kids. His running mate,
@BirkMatt
, has 8 kids. Do we really think Birk would support a candidate who thought so little of children? Come on. Be intellectually honest about this.
#TheThursdayThink
The company that published the 2000 Mules film/book now admits the whole thing was made up, and they've removed the product. They all lied.
You probably missed the earlier story where True the Vote admitted they had ZERO proof of their allegations.
I've always said the Republican party never wanted to outlaw abortion, but rather make it illegal for everyone but themselves.
And these fake Christians, who have worn abortion on their sleeves for 50 years, will all vote for him!
"Crime in Minnesota continued to recede from the high-water mark set in 2021, a fact that many people were upset by because it undermined certain political narratives they had spent a long time putting in motion."
An observation as of 9:19 AM this morning.
So far neither the
@mngop
Twitter or Facebook page has acknowledged Royce White as their MN Senate Primary winner, the biggest race in the state this year.
It's Thursday, 2 days since the Primary.
That tells you everything.
I look forward to mocking the fragile weakness that will be on display when the sad and empty Right spends all weekend bellowing about the "woke flag!"
You guys don't see how pathetic and sad you are.
Hey

I want to thank everyone at
@MHealthFairview
Southdale who have been wonderful during this ordeal. People in the medical industry are wonderful, and should get the compensation and respect they deserve (including physical therapy!). Thank you for taking care of me.
Hard truths
1) A big box store within 25 miles wipes out every grocery, pharmacy, hardware, bakery, and clothing store. Only ones left: a diner, grain elevator, implement store, gas station.
2) Some rural Minnesotans are just MEAN. Hate is not welcoming.
@atrupar
The population of St. Cloud itself is 65,000, not including the adjacent cities and other communities within a 30 minute drive.
That's like 200 people. 250 tops.
Please, PLEASE vote!
By the way, Republican social media is furious people are on the lookout to avoid the Minnesota Parent Alliance School board candidates. Do your due diligence before you vote to avoid a far-right, anti-teacher agenda.
Reposting this article as it's exceptional. Minneapolis/St. Paul is the 14th safest metro area in the country.
It is FAR more dangerous to live in rural America than it is to live in urban America.
IT JUST IS!
HOLY CRAP! Someone green lit this!
"People don't want to live here, you'll have to pay for the state and government services we don't offer, and we'll roll your body into a parking lot at the hospital! South Dakota!"
“Let’s get some help in here — STAT!”
South Dakota has close to 20,000 open jobs, including for nurses. 🩺
And visit start your move to South Dakota today.
Trump is not going to win in MN,
AND he's now a felon,
AND Amy Klobuchar is popular statewide and has fantastic coattails for DFL'ers further down the ticket,
AND Republicans still are NOT TRUSTED on Abortion/Women's Rights/Contraception issues...
Good luck with Royce!

This is a handout to the Republicans, 80% of what they wanted, things the Right never dreamed of getting. Biden is showing us who they are. He knows he could give them 100% and they'd still vote it down. It was never about fixing a problem.
