“Violent crime was up under Trump. That’s not even counting the crimes he committed.” -Gov Tim Walz

A story that needs more eyes is… this good news out of Minnesota, and no I’m not talking about Tim Walz news. I’m talking about the state Supreme Court upholding law restoring the right to vote for people with felony convictions in the state. Good News Bears. -Maddie

Something I can’t stop talking about is… the Republicans continuing to come for Tim Walz but it backfiring like it did with Tampon Tim. Again, like thanks y’all? -Sammy
