I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.
Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

What if it is not a civil war but just the natural evolution of a party at a moment of generational transition?
Moderate Democrats fear they’re on the verge of losing the party’s ideological civil war to progressives.
Centrist Democrats are freaking out about progressives’ winning streak
After romping in New York City, progressives are staring down more key primary tests.

I need y’all to remember this: Trump gets to keep Air Force One.
It cost taxpayers nearly $1 billion to upgrade, and before he leaves office, ownership transfers to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation, which he himself said is “most likely going to be a hotel.”

Hey, Pride month's half over! Maybe Amy will issue a strongly worded statement in support of LGBTQIA+ rights.
Or maybe just more photo ops with cops.

Klob had time to drive down to Farbault and march in their Heritage Day parade.
But she didn't have time to stand up for transgender rights.

The Minnesota Republican Party holding a moment of silence for the man who brutally murdered George Floyd might be one of the most fucked up things I’ve ever read. Evil.
At the Republican convention today they opened with a moment of silence for….
Derek Chauvin.
No, seriously.
That’s the party we’re up against. We cannot let them win any state races or take control of the House or Senate in November.
They had a moment of silence for a convicted murderer.

Sen. Murkowski voted to strip protections from the Boundary Waters. Pleas call her DC office at (202) 224-6665 and tell her to switch her vote to a No vote tomorrow on HJR 140. The vote was 51-49!!! A changed vote by Murkowski would do the trick.
THE SENATE IS VOTING ON THE BOUNDARY WATERS RIGHT NOW!
Tonight, while most people are watching TV or putting their kids to bed, the U.S. Senate is taking a vote that could permanently end protections for one of the most beloved wilderness areas in America.
