"In all of this emptiness — this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe — you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist in together.” — Astronaut Victor Glover Grateful for the safe return of the Artemis II crew – and for their beautiful reminder of this breathtaking oasis we get to call home. 
During these incredibly dark and challenging times, their historic mission was a reminder of the miracle of our home planet, our shared humanity, and the amazing things we can accomplish together.

I don't remember ANY other First Lady having to hold a national press conference to deny an association with Jeffrey Epstein.

I enjoyed my chat with Hank Green. Three years ago, AI leaders, including Elon Musk, warned we were moving too fast and even called for a pause. Nobody listened. @AOC and I are saying the same thing: slow it down and make sure AI works for people — not just billionaires.

Deliberately killing an elderly diplomat and his wife precisely because he was working on a peace effort is one of the greatest crimes imaginable—a killing carried out to prevent a peaceful resolution.

Katie Miller thinks it's a bad thing teenagers are having fewer babies. These people are nuts.

Shameful.

🚨ENDORSEMENT🚨 I’m proud to have the endorsement of my friend and former MPLS DFL Treasurer, Samuel Doten. Samuel has been a mentor to me as I’ve navigated the last 18 months of DFL engagement. It’s an honor to have his support and confidence in this next chapter.

Can’t trust a word they say. They’re lying about what they’re doing in Minnesota and across the country. This is exactly why I’m not voting for a single penny for ICE or CBP without massive, agency-wide changes.

.@RepRoKhanna: Melania Trump should ‘absolutely’ testify after ‘incredibly important’ Epstein claim bsky.app/profile/lastwo…

Trump posted her murder. He never said her name. Reporting by me: migrantinsider.com/p/her-name-was…

Thanks to Trump's pointless war, Iran now recognizes that it has a force more powerful than its proxy militias throughout the Middle East -- it can cripple the global economy by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. trib.al/2MDFAGM

You can’t make this stuff up. Instead of voting for a bipartisan bill banning secret NDAs that hide information from the public, the Republican Chair killed the bill and insisted that it’s on you, the citizen, “to be more diligent.” 🤨#smh #minnesota #mnleg

The SAVE Act goes beyond voter ID. It would require a passport or birth certificate to register to vote, which would block millions of American citizens from voting.

HE CASUALLY DROPS THAT ILHAN OMAR FINNA BE ON THE BROADCAST TMRW LIKE 😭 PLSSS THE GUESTS ON THE BROADCAST THIS YEAR HAVE BEEN IMMACULATE

This ballroom is a huge waste of money and the President’s time – and he’s not even supporting American companies and American workers. So much for America first.

We need Healthcare for All. I want to put an end to these health insurance corporations. They want us in pain.

The Onion is still undefeated 🧅

Tomorrow! (And every Saturday) Let’s hang out.

Neighbors, I will be holding Office Hours every third Friday of the month, 11am-1pm, at Bichota Coffee (3740 Chicago Ave) The next one will be on Friday, April 17th. Join us for questions or to chat about what you would like to see from our office. I hope to see you there!

A lot of the angst over Todd Barnette's failed reappointment is probably that the city spent time and resources making a "reappointed" hype video that they can't post.
