MN-01: Rep. Hagedorn rides the right-wing crazy train on COVID-19

April 29, 2020

There’s this: On (April 20), Rep. Jim Hagedorn (R-MN) claimed that allowing members of Congress to vote on legislation from their home is a scheme to make it easier for all Americans to vote by mail in November.

Should Minnesota follow California into sovereignty?

April 20, 2020

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom’s statements were not in fact meant to be taken entirely seriously, any more than the title of this story really is.

Minnesota corporate media’s infuriating Omar/Trump double standard, Part 2

October 12, 2019

Trump actually came to Minnesota to try to prove that he’s not frightened and intimidated by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

August 28, 2019

Let’s review. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was born in Somalia and spent years with her family in a refugee camp. Since coming to the U.S. she has, by dint of intelligence, hard work, and just fundamental excellence as a human being made her way to the U.S. Congress, where she has immediately begun to make […]
