This is the definition of “long shot” but I have to try.

Our dog Lucy wandered off tonight around 6 pm in northeast Rochester, MN and we haven’t been able to find her. If you or someone you know are in Rochester, please ask them to keep an eye out…DM me for contract info.

Jake Mangum spots kid in the crowd, tosses the ball, and her brother catches it and gives it to her. Dudes rock.

For U.S. medical researchers, shrinking labs and bare budgets are the new reality The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Very good (if tragic) story from the Washington Post

Donald Trump is completely unhinged. His statement threatening to eradicate an entire civilization shocks the conscience and requires a decisive congressional response. The House must come back into session immediately and vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East before Donald Trump plunges our country into World War III. For years, Republicans have enabled and excused Donald Trump’s deeply dangerous and extreme behavior. Enough is enough. Our brave men and women in uniform have been put into harm’s way in the Middle East. Over a dozen have already been killed and hundreds injured. Gas prices are skyrocketing, the cost of living in America is out of control and billions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a reckless war of choice. It’s time for House Republicans to put patriotic duty over party loyalty and join Democrats in stopping this madness.

After Trump wrote, in reference to Iran, “A whole civilization will die tonight,” the entirety of the House Democratic leadership issued this joint statement:

It has come to my attention that not all of you are aware that this exists. So, here it is. It exists. Dozens of channels of randomized music videos and bumpers. Choose your era and return to your childhood. Bookmark it for when you need to escape back.

Let Robert Mueller’s death be a reminder that the Mueller Report concluded:

1. Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win

2. Trump and allies knew Russia was helping them

3. Trump and allies obstructed Mueller’s investigation

Trump can and should still be impeached for this.

So important

It is telling of American self conception that Pearl Harbor is universally regarded as an underhanded, wicked and unjustifiable crime against the rules of war while our surprise attack on Iran is just a smart strategy we naturally employed to defeat a vile foe

Electricity Bills Are High. Trump Administration Policies are Set to Make them Soar. On average, households are paying more than 5% than they did just one year ago, and in some states, 20 to 30% or more.

"In particular, the Trump administration is increasing demand for electricity at the exact same time as it’s constraining the availability of new electricity supply, resulting in a surging—and costly—supply-demand mismatch. But that’s not all..."

Minnesota suburbs see ‘stealthier’ tactics as ICE stays active Minnesota residents and lawmakers say the promised drawdown has not materialized, and they are seeing ICE use more covert tactics to continue operations across Twin Cities suburbs.
