57-43

John, Today, at Mitch McConnell's recommendation, Senate Republicans voted to acquit Donald Trump on the charge of incitement of insurrection in his second impeachment trial. This stunning miscarriage of justice sets an incredibly dangerous precedent for the future of our democracy. …

BREAKING: GOP congressional delegation defends QAnon colleague

John, Moments ago, the U.S. House voted to remove GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments for embracing QAnon, endorsing political violence, harassing a Parkland school shooting survivor, and promoting a dizzying array of racist, antisemetic, Islamophobic, and dangerous cons…

Fwd: My Pillow guy....

Did you see this, John?? Why the My Pillow guy would be discussing “martial law” with anyone, let alone Donald Trump, is beyond me. But the fact that he is “90 to 95%” sure he’s challenging Governor Walz in 2022 is even worse. Did you see this, John?? Why the My Pillow guy would be d…

My Pillow guy...

John, Even after the horrific events of last week, Donald Trump’s local allies are still clinging to his baseless election denial conspiracy theories. On Friday, Mike Lindell (the My Pillow guy) was spotted at the White House with a disturbing memo urging Trump to use “martial law if necessary” in…

John, After a long, hard-fought campaign, we delivered Minnesota’s 10 electoral votes to Vice President Joe Biden. Donald Trump will be a one-term president, and that’s thanks to what we accomplished here in Minnesota. We’ll also be sending Tina Smith back to the United States Senate…

Why Mike Pence was in town yesterday

John, Republicans are acting like everything hinges on Minnesota because, frankly, it does. While the GOP is losing its grip on other swing states, the polls have tightened here. They’re more convinced than ever they can flip this state red, and they know doing so would deliver Donal…
