@SingeltaryTerry Thank you. That is the type of stuff people need to see more of. All they hear is "the DNR is killing healthy deer", instead of seeing actual effects on population outside of culling and harvests.

@mntatonka CWD has now been documented in members of the deer family in most of Wyoming’s deer hunting areas, with 20% to 40% percent of mule deer affected in some herds. A 2017 study estimated a 21% annual population decline as a result of the fatal disease. freerangeamerican.us/chronic-wastin….

Wyoming As of December 31, 2025, CWD had been detected in 35 of 37 (95%) of mule deer herds and 111 of 127 (87 %) of mule deer hunt areas. For elk, CWD had been detected in 24 of 34 (71%) designated elk herd units and 50 of 105 (48%) of elk hunt areas. wgfd.wyo.gov/sites/default/…

@lastpatriotFR @WhiteHouse No, definitely not. Coming from a small farmer who pretty consistently operates at or near a loss. We gambled and didn't buy fertilizer or fuel at the beginning of the year...clearly lost that gamble unless things really change in the next month.

@mntatonka @WhiteHouse Oh sorry I thought you were arguing in favor of farmers growing crops at a loss. Yes, farmers need to make money and deserve to make money as the backbone of America.

🚜 Curious how American farmers are benefiting right now — or exactly how much each state has saved? 👀📲 ONLYFARMS.GOV

@lastpatriotFR @WhiteHouse No, but it would certainly be nice to be able to make a profit once in a while farming, especially as a small farmer. Input costs like fuel and fertilizer have killed any chance of that this year

@mntatonka @WhiteHouse And do you expect them to grow crops for free?

@lastpatriotFR @WhiteHouse Farmers can't AFFORD fertilizer (whole still making a profit), they can certainly buy it.

@WhiteHouse Farmers can't buy fertilizer to feed America right now and you post this

@bryanstrawser @Highway_30 The only thing that would look better is a cardigan

@Highway_30 Fucking amazing suit.

Pat actually won his elections.

@duane2020a @PatGarofalo Nearly every time I've voted.

@PatGarofalo When was the last time you split a ticket? Use details.

@PatGarofalo I wish they'd remove party affiliation from the ballots.

@PatGarofalo So naturally the feds are going to stop everyone's funds, instead of doing the investigation and punishing those who stole. Kind of like going after every gun owner for something a criminal did with a gun....

The Feeding our Future scandal is going to be peanuts compared to the Medicaid fraud exposed in Minnesota. Just like with FOF and daycare fraud, there has been some MN reporting on this - but only mild public awareness. That is about to change. Dramatically change.

@mnhouseDFL judging by the ratio of opposition testimony to support testimony in the public safety committee on those bills, Minnesotans are NOT asking you do do this crap.

Minnesotans are asking us to do something about gun violence. GOP legislators can’t bury their heads in the sand forever. We have a bill to ban assault weapons. The question is: will our Republican colleagues stand with Minnesotans, or with the gun lobby?

@ExhaustedLib @mnguncaucus @emmagreenman and yet you can get a lot more people to speak up if it directly affects their hunting passion.

@mnguncaucus @emmagreenman FFS 2A IS NOT ABOUT HUNTING

Rep Emma Greenman (@emmagreenman ) told Minnesota Public Radio yesterday this about her bill HF 3433. “And so this does not affect your hunting rifle.” She's either deliberately lying or doesn't know what she's talking about. HER BILL, HF 3433, bans the possession of AR-platform rifles — the most popular deer rifle in Minnesota. That’s not a “misunderstanding.” That’s misleading the public about what’s in the bill. Minnesotans deserve the truth. Get in the fight: 👉 gunowners.mn/ban

@ThePeac0ck @gunpolicy Which costs taxpayers and gun owners millions of dollars. Let's not let it get anywhere near that far

@gunpolicy There’s Zero chance this will pass without going to SCOTUS.

Let us take a look into the nightmare that is HF3433, don't worry we will get to HF3402 next.

@GrumpyFox9 @mnguncaucus except it can take months to years, and millions of dollars to get the bill overturned by the court system. In that time, everyone that doesn't follow that law is a felon. Does that sound good to you? Block it before it gets to the floor.

@mnguncaucus DOA as violations of the 2nd and 4th amendments

🚨 If Rep. Emma Greenman’s gun ban (HF 3433) passes, millions of Minnesotans instantly become felons. Almost every semi-auto rifle? Banned from possession, sale, or transfer. Want to keep what you already own? ➡️ Let police inspect your home without a warrant ➡️ Beg the government for a special certificate (at an unknown cost) ➡️ Keep it locked at home or at a range — NO HUNTING Or turn it in to be destroyed. Violation? Up to 5 years in prison. This isn’t about crime. It’s about banning commonly owned firearms and criminalizing ordinary Minnesotans. Under Heller and Bruen, arms in common use are protected. Politicians don’t get to erase that with a press conference. 🔥 Take action now: gunowners.mn/ban Tell lawmakers: Minnesota will not criminalize the exercise of a constitutional right.

@jeremyrmiller make sure you guys stop every one of the unconstitutional dfl gun bills. Save the state some money in lawsuits they will lose, and keep law abiding citizens from becoming criminals overnight

I’m off to St. Paul for my last first day of session. I’m looking forward to my 16th year as a member of the Minnesota Senate! #mnleg

@Thomaswill0823 @RussoHockey Most of the Finland team has norovirus

@RussoHockey Any idea why?

Canada-Finland prelim game has been postponed until Feb. 12 at 2:30 pm Milan time

@RevTChristopher @RogueZebraTMR Because that's how long the process takes when you do it by the book.

@mntatonka @RogueZebraTMR Why is it taken so long?

If a family with 7 kids said all 7 had autism, that’s a pretty good check coming in at the end of the month.

@RogueZebraTMR @RevTChristopher Apparently. I'm a year or more in trying to get any kind of assistance for my daughter who is actually autistic...

@mntatonka @RevTChristopher Not if network is structured like Somalis did. Everyone supports everyone -doctor for SMRT, PHN assessment for MA, neuropsychiatric exam for autism-all Somali or sympathizers.

@lb_412 @KelseyTuoc So for the last 20 years they've been pulling people out of their cars because of the color of their skin? And you don't see how that's a problem?

@mntatonka @KelseyTuoc Born in the US? I can't find any examples of that happening. Also, ICE protocol has not changed. Has been the same for 20+ years. Y'all just haven't been paying attention.

they dragged her away in chains and shipped her to Texas and only then checked, determined she was in fact here legally, and released her in Texas to figure out how to get back to Minnesota herself. and people wonder why her neighbors would protest!!!
