I found this in my memory box from the 1960s when i was a Bluebird ( young Campfire girl). Looking at it now, i can see that it has been my philosophy of life all these years.

A Russian energy giant secretly financed a US gas project in Alaska, while that same project was being discussed by Putin with Witkoff and Kushner as part of talks supposedly aimed at ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. The US company’s CEO resigned after discovering the Russian money.

Here is my Congresscritter, #TomEmmer, jetting around the country while not using his vacation time from Congress to be here in his own district. Who is he really working for and listening to? Thanks to @mn06watch.bsky.social for keeping track of him for us.

WELKER: You urged Congress to pass this law in Sen. Graham's memory. Do you agree with President Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russia? LANKFORD: He is choosing the American people first is what he's doing

Powerful symbol of the power of taking action!

This photo says everything about why Trump keeps hiring unqualified worshipful young women (who look like his daughter)

They think they are so smart, defying court orders. Tick, tock mfers, justice will have its way.

Some people arrested by ICE in the Twin Cities then ordered released by a federal judge are being arrested again as they try to leave detention. One man said ICE agents taking him back into custody told him the judge was wrong to order his release.

If you're completely "in line" with Donald Trump and his campaign to strip away abortion rights from millions of women, then you definitely aren't pro-choice.

Q: What are the boundaries are your right to choose? TAFOYA: Here's the deal. I'm in line with President Trump on this. So if people voted for President Trump and support him on this issue, then they should have no problem voting for me.

Trump is angrier, more erratic, and more dangerous than ever — and those closest to him know it. How close are we to his own cabinet using the 25th Amendment against him? Here's how it might go down.

The internet of things leaves us very, very vulnerable!

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

I hope there are organizations compiling lists and data to go after these folks with criminal/civil liability once this corrupt regime is taken apart. No where to hide!

This is Brenden Cuni of New Rochelle, NY, an ICE agent who was seen earlier brutalizing a pregnant woman in Minneapolis, MN. As reported by I_May_Have_Weed I hope his family is proud of him. #FuckICE #FucktRump #Pinks #ProudBlue

Protecting white American men from discrimination....... WOW Words fail me at describing just how ludicrous this is. Peak fragility on display.

FCC Chair Andrew Ferguson touts the administration's work to "protect white American men from discrimination"

I saw that the $90 bribe from Trump hit my bank account, so i just made three $30 donations to some great Dem candidates. I urge anyone financially able, to do the same. Making lemonade out of 🍋 s (or 🍊 s)!

The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly TRIPLED since 2020. Meanwhile, Amazon's profits have soared by 550% in the same time frame. Watch this before you shop for Prime Day.

Emmer pledged 56 more districts before Election Day. We're logging every stop. Next to it: what his own district gets. Since Sept. 17, open town halls: Emmer 0, Chapin 1. Local press requests answered: 0 of 3 vs. 3 of 3. mn06watch.com/articles/on-...

1. The texts came from the DOJ. 2. Grassley knew about them. 3. Grassley did not include the texts in the memo to the committee. 4. Grassley did not share the texts with the Dems on the panel.

We are all going to pay for the data aggregation this rogue and criminal administration is compiling. The power it gives them is mind-blowing.

Her takedown of this self-important windbag was *chef's kiss*. And for it to be a woman who knew her sports teams was the icing on the cake!

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!
