More perfect union: BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters. The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.
Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation.
For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.
January 6 was a violent assault on our democracy, and those responsible must be held accountable.
Erasing these convictions undermines the rule of law and disrespects the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line defending the Capitol.
