Look how tired and relieved he is all at the same time. Doesn't have to dance around who the qb is 😎

John Thune seems confused about why he isn't liked in "online world."
He says being hated is a "daily experience" for him.
He said, "I don't know that they necessarily told me anything I got wrong."
Ok, I'll start.....
1) Oct. 8, 2016: he said Trump "should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately."
2) Dec. 2020: he said a challenge to the Electoral College would "go down like a shot dog."
3) 2022: he said he hoped Republicans would have "other options" besides Trump.
4) 2023: he endorsed Tim Scott, and didn't back Trump until Feb. 2024.
5) He voted for the $95 billion Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan aid package.
6) He requested $116 million in earmarks while voting to strip earmarks.
7) He used pro forma sessions to block recess appointments.
8) He refused Trump's call to end blue slips.
9) The House passed the SAVE Act. It died in the Senate 48-50, and a narrower voter ID bill died too.
10) He refused to nuke the filibuster or force a talking filibuster.
11) He waved off the SAVE Act pressure as a "paid influencer ecosystem."
12) When McConnell vanished for 3 months, Thune said it was "between Sen. McConnell and the people of Kentucky."
13) About 161 Trump nominations are still waiting, including 25 judges, and Democrats take over in January.
14) And he still feels no sense of urgency, and no realization of his own failures.
What did I leave off the list?

They walked through hell so we could live free. I live to remember and honor America’s greatest warriors. Godbless them all!

Vikings fans aren't sad, they're angry.
Since Kirk's Achilles, the team has changed quarterbacks 18 times. Insane.
They let Kirk walk.
They let Darnold walk.
They let pre-Achilles Jones walk.
They traded JJ McCarthy for nothing.
Their anger is appropriate.

What say you Steve Simon?
SUBMITTED: Poll worker wears “Problem Solved” T-shirt with red splatter near the collar resembling blood.
Speculation is that it celebrates the assassination of Charlie Kirk or other assassinations; the Halloween design has been controversial for years.
The picture was taken Saturday at the Rogers fire station community room.
In a statement to @AlphaNews, Hennepin County confirmed it forwarded the concern to the city clerk in Rogers for review.
“Hennepin County expects polling places to be welcoming and free from intimidation, harassment, or disruption for voters and election workers alike… Anyone with concerns about conduct at a polling place should bring them to the attention of the head election judge or city clerk's office,” the statement reads.

Him going for that but punting it with 3 minutes to go when our defense was gassed has kept me up at night. Spineless
I’m still trying to figure out in a game where we are down 12-7, why KOC elected to go for it on 4th & 5 rather than kicking a FG? #Skol

Once more before Election Day.
We're just going to do this here now. You're welcome.
I wish I could say something pithy. I've been stressed out all day. I think this is important, not for me but for those who literally lost everything. For those who lost their children and their lives and their livelihoods.
I will never let people forget what happened here until we fix it. Never.
If you find this work important, please like/share/follow/subscribe. I have links for donations for myself and Edwin with the business owners.
This is more than a story of slighted businesses. It is the story of what a society is willing to sacrifice to the alter of an ideology. It's time to save Minneapolis. But first we have to be honest about what we've done. #truth #Minneapolis #film
I give you "Square of Deceit" the aftermath of 38th and Chicago.

As I told someone who lives in your state, @SenRickScott, someone who predicted that I & the others who are fighting for standard time will lose this battle:
Yes, we may lose, but only because you politicians & the golf lobby have more power.
Not because we're wrong.

The judge that ordered the deletion of three conservative ads, doesn’t know us very well.
Pass it on, make it go viral.
🚨 CENSORED: A Biden-appointed judge in SDNY just ordered the Trump administration to DELETE this video of the President promising Americans $5,000 if Republicans win.
Judge Jennifer Rochon called it "purely partisan" and ordered it scrubbed from every government website and social account, days before the election.
The order covers the GOVERNMENT. It doesn't cover YOU.
Watch it. Share it. Let every voter hear it.

Ram Chhetri came to the US as a refugee, but this might be worst day of his life: It's the moment he realizes the $80k-$160k/year salary he's bilked from Medicaid for no-show work is coming to an end because @realdailywire caught the truth on camera.
We conducted months of surveillance that shows why "home care aide" is now the *most common job* in states like NY, CA, MN, and PA: Because a large part of those jobs are unambiguous Medicaid fraud.
Thanks to home care, Bhutanese refugees now make more money than actual PA families. The state doesn't just look the other way, but helps them get away with it. Converting federal health dollars into a universal basic income for certain communities relieves the financial burden they place on the state.
The scammers easily deceive the feds' woefully broken monitoring system. You'll see Ram pull into a driveway for 2 minutes in the morning, then 2 minutes in the evening. He clocks in and out of his shift from the right place, and the GPS system doesn't notice that he goes home in between.
$20 an hour doesn't sound like much, but at 77 hours a week, it's $80k–and it's easy to bill huge hours when you don't actually have to work them. And that's just for the low-level guys in this scheme.

So much damage has been done by the DFL to the state that I love. Enough is enough! Vote Republican up and down the ticket!

I remember when Upper Midwest Law Center got firebombed. A conservative law firm. Another crime in Hennepin County that just couldn't get solved or charged out by Mary Moriarity.
🚨CRIMINAL CHARGES FILED🚨
I've obtained the documents regarding the criminal charges Hennepin County is targeting @JamesOKeefeIII with.
James O'Keefe is charged with felony unlawful voting and identity theft.
He is facing 10 years in prison, if convicted.
It's important to note, O’Keefe and Cameron Higby entered multiple polling places while disguised BUT NEVER SIGNED THE OATH OR CASTED A BALLOT.
Higby is also charged.

Minnesotans are struggling because under your leadership, you…
- Burned through a $19B surplus
- Raised taxes by $9B
- Lost $9B+ to fraud
- Passed another $2B in property taxes onto local governments through unfunded mandates
You allowed our social services programs to be plundered so badly that your own administration, not Trump, had to pause them, Peggy.
You raised spending by 40% while our net migration has remained stagnant.
You’re a complete failure who deserves to be fired, not get a promotion.
