The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion.
For $22.8 billion, we could:
• Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids
• Build 2.6 million public housing units
• Fund Head Start for 1.3 million
• Hire 240,000 teachers
• Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers
Honored to earn the support of End Citizens United. At a time when our democracy is facing unprecedented challenges, I will continue to fight to protect Minnesotans' freedom to vote and make sure we have fair and secure elections.
Americans already struggling with rising costs are now facing higher gasoline prices. Meanwhile, this Administration hasn’t made the case for this war or laid out a strategic path forward.
This is not leadership.
Alright everybody. As the dust settles, I want your honest thoughts:
What do you think about President Trump and Israel’s attack on Iran that lead to the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?
BREAKING: Please pray — Iranian missiles are currently inbound against Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and much of Israel. Millions of Israelis are in bomb shelters. But the Iranian regime and its offensive military capabilities are being systematically destroyed. @all_israel_news
ICE made cuts to its training, leaving out information on the rights of protesters and firearm safety, all while getting more and more funding. Completely unacceptable.
Jeremy’s insurance costs quadrupled, with his deductible jumping to $16,400. He’s delayed care and now worries he won’t be able to pay the bills.
No one should have to worry that the next medical bill they get will send them into bankruptcy. His story is far too common across our country.
@mattvanswol It doesn't take long to learn you need to keep track of your birth certificate, marriage license, in some cases divorce certificate and social security card. Then hang onto a bill of some sort that validates your address. Schools, doctors offices, DVM and employers require them.
If there’s ANYONE who’s going to be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act…
…it’s married men
I promise you, if you ask any married man today where his birth certificate is, he will say exactly this statement:
“I have no idea, ask my wife.”
@Apple I waited until security made me opt for the update to iOS 26. And even after fixing a bunch of settings this Liquid Glass is awful. Please give us the option to turn it off.
This is painful to write, but I need to get it out...
For years, my “news” came almost entirely from left-leaning podcasts and media outlets.
The other day I scrolled back through my podcast history from that era and it honestly made my stomach drop.
Thousands of hours of my life, just gone.
Hours I’ll never get back, the vast majority of it I know now wasn’t even information… it was just propaganda packaged as news.
I’m writing this because I want to warn you, because I wish someone had warned me.
It’s hard to explain to people who haven’t lived inside it just how insanely bubble-like the grip on your perception of reality becomes.
How it doesn’t feel AT ALL like you’re being shaped to think a certain way, it just feels like you’re being informed and in the process... you feel morally superior and smarter than "them" (the conservatives).
For me the routine was simple:
A couple minutes of CNN with my morning coffee.
A “breaking news” push notification from the NYT.
Pod Save America or The Daily on my commute.
They all said the same stuff!!!
Same framing.
Same villains.
Same moral conclusions from the news.
It's literally the right-wing meme of "the script has gone out!"
It's so so true.
Yeah the companies were different, but they all had essentially an identical script, all corroborated by experts.
In hindsight, it's a freaking miracle I ever broke out of it.
It's a near-perfectly-sealed echo chamber.
And now, as I'm scrolling through my past, it looks like a record of someone slowly being put to sleep.
Episode after episode.
Commute after commute.
Day after day.
Just thousands of hours of my life with headphones in, letting someone else narrate reality to me.
And I'm sick with regret.
Because I know that a part of me liked it.
Like I was smarter, kinder, and more evolved because I just knew so much more, and was on the team of empathy!
I was wrong.
And I can’t rewind who I was in those years.
But I’m writing this because I KNOW there are people still living in that trance.
I talk to you (yes, you know who you are) often.
And I know you think you're just “staying informed,” and I hear in your voice the moral superiority, the immediate reaction to take offense on behalf of some group or people...
Please.
Please wake up before you lose years of your life the way I did.
Because one day you’ll look back and realize the biggest thing they stole from you wasn't just your time...
They stole the truth.
@amyklobuchar She was a mother, kids lost their mom, incredibly heartbreaking. She was also trying to intervene in lawful work being done by agents, and directed disobeyed orders and ran over a law enforcement officer.
Please tell the whole story.
Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan.
Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”
This is who we lost yesterday. By refusing to coordinate with local law enforcement, ICE is not making our community safe. It is making it less safe.

A lot of people are posting that the party needs to pick a strong legitimate candidate to take on and beat Tim Walz. We wholeheartedly agree.
But the party doesn’t pick the candidate - - you do!
If you want great candidates for the legislature and statewide offices like Governor you need to attend precinct caucuses on Tuesday, February 3. Run to be a delegate to your local endorsing convention where legislative candidates are endorsed by delegates. Then move on to the state convention where delegates will endorse a governor candidate along with other statewide offices.
Follow the link below to learn how you can get involved and how the process works.

Trump finishes 2025 with his plans for marble armrests (what?), gold-plated bathroom fixtures, and massive new ballroom.
Americans? Still waiting on those lower costs he promised.
