Wow. What a turnout. In a town of 10,000, in a county Trump won by almost 30 points, nearly 1,000 came out in support of Abdul El-Sayed. Alpena, MI, thanks very much.

Stealing from programs meant to feed children and support vulnerable Minnesotans is an attack on our communities and our public trust. I’m using every tool available to hold fraudsters accountable and recover taxpayer dollars.

Breaking: Donald Trump was "an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s,” according to a report issued today by Dems on the House Judiciary Committee. The report includes one new rape allegation against Trump, and calls for a special investigation of the Trump administration's cover-up of Epstein's crimes.

Keith Ellison: "This guy had the nerve to go on his social media thing and say he was gonna get 'reckoning and retribution against Minnesota.' Well I can't wait until November 3 so we can get reckoning and retribution on him."

This is the best article of why Lula was able to turn it around. Populist FDR style “New Deal” policies in the country, the people of Brazil appreciate. This is the antidote to the right wing populism, oligarch/fascist fkry, consolidation of wealth and power, and use of hatred scapegoating the politically weak and marginalized people. This is to fascism what garlic is to vampires. FDR knew it and used it to beat back the rise of the Fascist NAZI movement in the USA in the 30s. It’s time for a New, New Deal. aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/…

Lula victory speech: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

Fox News is putting Nicki Minaj up telling people to vote red. Let’s break that down. Can Nicki Minaj vote? No. She’s not a U.S. citizen. Can Nicki Minaj’s husband vote? No, he’s a registered sex offender. Can Nicki Minaj’s brother vote? No, he’s serving 25 years to life for child sexual assault. She seems like the perfect spokesperson for MAGA republicans.

Pundits are saying that Latin America is destined to have a conservative wave. In a momentous election, the Brazilians have proved those pundits wrong. Congratulations Lula and congratulations Brazil!

Se ha detenido el fascismo en America Latina en Brasil. El pueblo brasileño libre logró frenar la avalancha de los bots falsos y el sistema electoral con software público y bien cuidado por la gente evitó fraudes, se salva la justicia social en Brasil y el intento extranjero de quedarse con sus recursos naturales. Muy bien Lula. Este es un triunfo para la humanidad y una derrota estratégica para las fuerzas de la oscuridad.

My daughter had surgery in a hospital in Minneapolis. I sat with her in the hospital for a week. Her care team included Somali nurses, aides, etc. They were very skilled and very kind. Every one of them had a pinky full of more humanity than this racist has in his entire body.
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

OBAMA: Some people say Abdul didn’t like some of the things you did as president. So Abdul didn't agree with some things. You know who else doesn't agree with everything I do. Michelle Obama.

We lost Paul Wellstone 24 years ago today. Paul was a tremendous leader who reminded us what it means to stand up to corporate power and stand with our fellow Minnesotans. So, when they try to divide us, remember that we all do better when we all do better.

Making life more affordable isn’t someone else’s job. It’s the Attorney General’s job to hold powerful corporations accountable, stop them from ripping off Minnesotans, and fight for working families. Because when corporations put profits ahead of people, I’m going to make them answer for it.
