@FishingGodMN @rudyfunkmeyer one could hope

@rudyfunkmeyer The problem is moderates will vote republican as long as they aren’t batshit crazy like Royce White before they’ll support these super progressive candidates.

For anyone keeping track, in SD46 today Sen. Ron Latz was locked in a dead heat with progressive challenger Lynette Dumalag. The convention adjourned with no endorsement. In HD43B, Ryan Winkler lost the DFL endorsement on the first ballot to Jess Lewis, a progressive. (1/2)

@FishingGodMN @rudyfunkmeyer doubtful

@rudyfunkmeyer sad day.

That plus the fact that progressives in Minneapolis are either going unchallenged or demolishing their challengers is making this a very favorable cycle for progressive candidates across the board. Moderates should be worried.

@JamesAn60301847 @bloisolson I heard "Ain't gonna win" is running.

@bloisolson Any republicans in this race?

In Latz-Dumalog endorsement battle. Candidates agree to no endorsement After 1st Round 457 ballots 229 Latz (49.89) 225 Domalog (49.01) #mnleg

@FOX9 no! DST year round is what we want!

A proposal at the Minnesota Legislature would keep the state on standard time, doing away with springing ahead and losing an hour of sleep every spring. fox9.com/news/minnesota…

@HustleBitch_ eating better than I do!

🚨 U.S. NAVY SAILOR FILMS WHAT THEY’RE BEING FED ON A WARSHIP DURING THIS WAR — PEOPLE ARE SHOCKED A sailor aboard a U.S. Navy warship filmed the food line during deployment. The camera slides past the trays revealing: • breaded patties piled in a metal pan • thick brown gravy poured over everything • oily greens • picked-over mixed vegetables • a tray of rice nearly scraped empty • a few scattered potatoes left at the bottom Some say this is exactly what military chow has always looked like. Others say if sailors are deployed and fighting a war, their meals should look a lot better than this. If billions are spent on the military every year… why does the food look like this?

@realJustATheory @DarrigoMelanie fight it, provide receipts.

@DarrigoMelanie I keep meticulous milage and gas records for when I'm using my car for business and pleasure. The FED just kicked back my business tax return because according to them I "overspent on gas 14%". Starbucks gets a free jet. I get slapped with more taxes for $300 in gas.

The Starbucks CEO can write-off the cost of his private jet on his taxes because it’s considered a business expense. But Starbucks baristas can’t write off the clothing they have to buy to adhere to the Starbucks dress code. This is what an anti-worker tax code looks like.

@DarrigoMelanie false. They can write them off.

@joeroganhq Gavin Newsom is such a terrible liar. Does he expect people to believe that?

Throwback to when Joe Rogan texted Shawn Ryan a question for Gavin Newsom during their interview.

@deanbphillips Congress has had decades to conduct such immigration reform.

How does this common sense agenda sound? 1. punish fraudsters 2. support law enforcement 3. secure our borders 4. deport criminals 5. offer paths to citizenship to those pursuing the 🇺🇸 dream, making our food, building our homes, mowing our lawns, & caring for our loved ones.

@SenTinaSmith This is what's wrong with Mpls. Police and their training. A defect, not a feature. Letting criminals escape by not surrounding them.

MINNEAPOLIS POLICE CHIEF O’HARA: "Our policies and training are to try to do everything possible to prevent those situations from occurring in the first place... The No. 1 is you don’t place yourself in the path of the vehicle. That’s like Traffic Stop 101. You don’t do that."

@DeRushaJ @PapaTaco_12 @hlrule No, its not funny.

.@DeRushaJ with props 🧹on his latest CNN hit, on yet another evening of chaos in the state.

The Western liberal media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the world. Ideally, to cover an uprising is not just to show crowds and slogans. It requires answering a basic question: why are people risking death? In Iran, the answer is simple and unavoidable. The people are rising up because the Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades suffocating every aspect of life—speech, work, family, art, women, and economic survival—under a clerical system that treats liberty as a crime. There is no way to tell that story without confronting the nature of the regime. Western media refuses to do so because it has fundamentally misunderstood Islam. Or worse, it has chosen not to understand it. Islam, in Western progressive discourse, has been racialized. It is treated not as a belief system or a political ideology, but as a stand-in for race or ethnicity. Criticizing Islam is framed as an attack on “brown people,” Arabs, or “the Middle East,” as if Islam were a skin color rather than a doctrine. This confusion is rooted in historical illiteracy. Western liberal media routinely collapses entire civilizations into a single stereotype: “all Middle Easterners are Arabs,” “all Arabs are Muslim,” and “all Muslims are a monolithic, oppressed identity group by white European colonizers.” Iranians disappear entirely in this framework. Their language, history, and culture—Persian, not Arab; ancient, not colonial; distinct, not interchangeable—are erased. By treating Islam as a racial identity rather than an ideology, Western media strips millions of people of their ability to reject it. Iranian protesters become unintelligible. Their rebellion cannot be processed without breaking the rule that Islam must not be criticized. So instead of listening to Iranians, the media speaks over them—or ignores them entirely. There is another reason the Iranian uprising is so threatening to Western media is economic issues. As you know, Iran is not only a religious dictatorship. It is a centrally controlled, state-dominated economy where markets are strangled, private enterprise is criminalized or co-opted, and economic survival depends on proximity to political power. Decades of price controls, subsidies, nationalization, and bureaucratic micromanagement have obliterated the middle class and entrenched corruption as the only functional system. The result is not equality or justice. It is poverty, stagnation, and dependence on government’s dark void of empty promises. Covering Iran honestly would require acknowledging that these policies are harmful. They have been tried. They have failed. Catastrophically. This is deeply inconvenient for Western media institutions that routinely promote expansive state control, centralized economic planning, and technocratic governance as morally enlightened alternatives to liberal capitalism. Iran demonstrates where such systems lead when insulated from accountability and enforced by ideology. It shows that when the state controls livelihoods, non-conformity becomes existentially dangerous. That lesson cannot be acknowledged without undermining the moral authority of those who advocate similar ideas in softer language. Western liberal media prefers not to hear this. Acknowledging it would require abandoning the lazy moral categories that dominate modern discourse: oppressor and oppressed, colonizer and colonized, white and non-white. Iranian protesters do not fit. They show that authoritarianism is not a Western invention imposed from outside, but something many societies are actively trying to escape. That is what terrifies Western liberal media. And that is why the Iranian people are being ignored. So the silence continues.

@Bricktop_NAFO You can't claim self defense if you are a "willing participant." Law enforcement is not subject to the "willing partjcipant" clause. We specifically employ them to be WILLING PARTICIPANTS.

Why didn’t the citizens shoot the ICE officer driving?

@DeRushaJ No, the media has proven to be nothing but propaganda for one side of an issue or the other. None. None. Are down the middle just reporting facts in an unbiased way.

@peggyflanagan Finally something I can agree with you on.

I can't count how many hours I've spent on the phone fighting with my insurance company over my daughter's inhalers. We need to ban insurance companies' prior authorization practices - now.

@BraddrofliT Maga isn't complaining about races....you are. Maga is complaing about people on SNAP. NO MATTER WHAT NATIONALITY OR RACE THEY ARE! You are bringing race into this!

MAGA COMPLAINS ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE BUT THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE! 🤔

Health care costs skyrocketing. Flights cancelled. Children and seniors going hungry. Donald Trump:

@deanbphillips No. No national health program. Third party payer ruins everything it touches.

How can so many members of Congress happily subsidize the financially secure (myself included) while essentially stripping 4-5 million vulnerable Americans of their ability to buy insurance? It makes no sense. How about ending the shutdown by finally agreeing to a national health insurance program? Our sick-care “system” is at the precipice of total failure.
