The Washington Post printed a love letter to Michele Tafoya today. The only pushback came from me. Any woman who shames another by doubting how “devastating” her miscarriage was, does not have the character to be a public servant. I think Minnesotans care about character, which Tafoya clearly lacks.

Hey @wsmv.com we found your answer — instead of debating at MTSU about real issues @MarshaBlackburn was doing an event with transphobic clout-chaser Enes Kanter to gin up fear about a fake one. There have been ZERO trans athletes in Tennessee.

A week before the midterms, Democratic senators are demanding that Dr. Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, disclose any communications with far-right groups promoting a baseless conspiracy theory that left-wing groups are stealing nursing home residents’ votes.

​With the midterms coming up & everything that has happened the last 9 months, I felt like I needed to post something. Ignorantly, in the past, I only voted in presidential elections. Now I am voting in any election I can. Alex stood up for his community so now it is time we stand up & fight back.

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trump’s cabinet — by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obama’s joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Pretty simple: Every legal voter should be able to vote. The government's only role should be to make that as easy as possible.

Nothing and no one should stand between New Yorkers and their right to vote — least of all the government.
 Early voting is happening now through November 1. Election Day is November 3. See you at the polls!

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.
