Naming Stephen Miller White House Chief of Staff is Trump saying, "I heard you, America!"

If Alito or Thomas were to retire tomorrow (God forbid), Schumer better say, “We’re in a Presidential election cycle.”

My guess there won’t be any televised Cabinet meetings anytime soon.

Vance says “The reason we lost is the war.” Yeh. But also tariffs, driving up prices well before the war. Unleashing ICE & CBP in a cruel assault on immigrants who aren’t “the worst of the worst.” There’s the unprecedented corruption. Trump added $2.2 billion to his net worth & surrounded himself with billionaires. There’s disruption of the social safety net, with cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and ACA subsides. And Trump’s complete cluelessness - his ballroom, the reflecting pool, adding his name to the Kennedy Center. And finally his obsession with John Husted’s butt.

First things Dems in the House should do: vote to restore the subsidies for ACA accounts and get rid of the cuts to Medicaid & SNAP. On Day One.

Probably a bad day for Vance to announce he’s running in ‘28.

Congrats to Peggy Flanagan and Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota’s new senator and soon-to-be old senator & new governor!

Absolutely speechless. Six Senate seats flipped so far. Gonna be fun to track Trump through this.

Americans, if you haven’t been paying attention, today is Election Day, and, as these go, a pretty important one. So get out there and vote, damn it!

The @Vikings lost their first game today against the Lions, 19-15. It’s clear that Murray and the offense aren’t getting the job done. Lot of work to do before next Monday night’s game against the Bills. And our thoughts and prayers are with Lions’ linebacker, Jack Campbell, who was carted off the field.

46 years ago Tom Davis and I opened for the @GratefulDead at Radio City. They did three sets, including a beautiful and rare acoustic set. Happy Halloween, everybody!

Hey Minnesotans! Let's get out the vote and elect @peggyflanagan our next U.S. Senator!! I've known Peggy for 20 years and she'll do Minnesota proud. The polls are open. Bring your friends and neighbors! DFL.org/gotv

Our @Vikings are now the only undefeated team in the NFL. Imagine if our offense were any good! Kyler Murray had one strong outing against the Saints. But the rest of his games have been fairly non-productive. But great fun to watch the Vikes defense! Yay Flores.

Trump’s diesel deal with Russia may save Americans pennies, but will cost Ukrainian civilians their lives.

The @Vikings 5-0! Nice to see the offense find its groove against the Saints. Murray’s mobility really showed today. Hopefully, we can have Addison, Jefferson, Darrisaw, and Mason all on the field together after the bye.

Celebrating Franni’s 75th birthday today. I’ve known her since she was 17 and we've built a beautiful life together. Here’s us and the kids sometime in the early 90s. Love you, honey! Happy birthday!

The @Vikings are 4-0 despite scoring just one touchdown in the last three games. Great D! Great kicker! Will Reichard kicked 5 field goals yesterday, extending his streak to 31. Next week, the Saints. Hopefully the offense can find its stride against New Orleans and we can make it 5-0 before an early bye week.

We’re officially a month away from the midterms. Now’s the time for Trump to get out around the country & campaign for Republicans in close races. I suggest he go to TX, OH, MI, GA, NC, SC, ME, IA, AK, KS, MS, & MN. I’m sure this will give voters the boost they need to make the right decision when they cast their ballots.

Today is our 51st wedding anniversary! Franni’s been my life partner from the time we met freshman year of college to this day. We’ve grown up together. She’s the best girlfriend, wife, mother, grandma, and friend. Thanks, honey. Here’s to another 51!
