Sen. Amy Klobuchar spoke against the measure to open mining near the Boundary Waters.
She spoke about her grandfather, who worked underground in a mine in Ely.
Vote on house resolution 140 tonight at 6:30. Will they allow Chilean company to mine copper sulfide which will destroy the Boundary Waters and the outdoor activities and wildlife. Call your representative: 202-224-3121. 💚🌲
Leave our Boundary Waters alone!
Donald Trump cut health care for Americans so that Meta could get a $3 billion tax cut.
I asked the IRS commissioner if that was a "really good outcome for the American public."
He said yes.
Screenshot of sophiafornc from Threads: This is eleven year-old Genesis and six year-old Denis, two Durham elementary school students whose families came here to seek asylum. On Monday, they were detained by ICE and immediately sent back to Honduras without due process. Don't you dare tell me that this is making our country safer.
I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process.

Sen. @warren.senate.gov and Sen. Josh Hawley have introduced a bill to break up companies that own health insurers and medical providers.
"Love it," says @mcuban.bsky.social.
"They control everything. Literally what those companies do defines the cost of healthcare in this country."
Destroying one of the things that makes Minnesota great to seek profits for a Chilean company makes no sense. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEvDnu… #savetheboundarywaters #minnesota #bwca
Here’s what you didn’t hear from Donald Trump’s State of the Union:
This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.
Seeing stuff like this makes me miss having @alfranken.bsky.social in the Senate.

If people can’t unite over children being abused.
There’s no hope for humanity.
This is not how the United States should be treating anyone, yet this is how it’s treating citizens. Pure racism, not even hidden. And silence from Republicans is compliance. How far we have fallen from the party of Lincoln.

Can you honestly say your Senator/Representative isn't a part of the problem?

It’s not enough. Use the powers you actually have. Not just accept what you think you can get.
THOU SHALT NOT PROTECT PEDOS!!! WHY THE FUCK IS THIS SENDER’S NAME REDACTED?!?
This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.
They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.
For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.
