NEW: Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) & Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) introduce "Anti-Cash Grab Act" They say the bill "will repeal a provision — quietly added into the Senate government funding bill by U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) at the last minute — that allows senators to collect $500,000 for every phone record lawfully obtained"

NEW: The son of 'Snow White' producer Marc Platt absolutely unleashes on Rachel Zegler for ruining his father's movie. Jonah Platt is ripping the 23-year-old actress for getting political and ruining Snow White. The comment from Platt was found on Instagram after one user asked why his dad flew to New York City to talk to Zegler about tanking the movie. Platt specifically blamed Zegler and her narcissism for the film's flop. "Tens of thousands of people worked on that film and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue-collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful." "Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged."

Were they run-on sentences?
Biden announced he will no longer seek another 4 years in office after his physical and mental acuity were called into question after the debate that broadcasted him struggling to finish sentences, giving confused looks and fumbling through his answers trib.al/mebLIsA

Chuck Schumer said he will NOT force a vote on gun control because he doesn't believe Republicans will pass it. That is NOT the point of holding a vote, Chuck. Show voters that Republicans will vote NO less than 24 hours after 19 children were killed. FORCE A VOTE. FORCE IT NOW!

🧵 The @CitySiouxFalls spent 18 months crafting a sustainability and climate action plan. On March 1, the city council heard an overview. Three weeks later, the plan’s on the shelf. What happened? Pushback, pushback, and more pushback. 1/

What a difference between this statement and the one you issued for the white lady you rammed through the confirmation process just before the election.
My statement on the president’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the Supreme Court⬇️. While I look forward to meeting Judge Barrett & learning more about her experience, her resume speaks for itself. She’s an impartial jurist who doesn’t legislate from the bench.

My latest for Pigeon 605: Roller derby thriller with deep S.D. roots premieres Friday at State Theatre pigeon605.com/roller-derby-t… – at Sioux Falls, SD
We have an update from the Stampede & CU Mortgage Direct: They are providing an additional $500 to the 10 teachers who participated in the Dash for Cash, and $500 to the 21 other teachers who applied but weren't able to participate. That's an additional $15,500 to area teachers.
"No educator should have to crawl on their hands and knees to supply proper educational tools for our students," Sioux Falls Education Association president Tim Eckart said.

Hey @RepDustyJohnson, Civil Engineers give U.S. infrastructure a C- Including the following: There is a water main break every two minutes and an estimated 6 billion gallons of treated water lost each day in the U.S., enough to fill over 9,000 swimming pools.
“By all means, lets invest. But we've made $305 billion in highway funding over the last five years. The president is proposing spending seven times that,” @RepDustyJohnson told the @argusleader this morning argusleader.com/story/news/2…

I don't think the Founding Fathers had any intentions regarding South Dakota either, and yet
The Founding Fathers never intended for Washington D.C. to be a state. #DCStatehood is really about packing the Senate with Democrats in order to pass a left-wing agenda. Just look at the DC voter registration data: 🔵 76.4% Democrat 🔴 5.7% Republican
