If Minnesota governor Tim Walz became vice president, it would make history, but in a way people might not be thinking about. Lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan would become the first Native woman to hold the office of governor in the history of the United States.

Tim Walz ran a 4-4. In Minnesota. IN THE 90s. You think being Vice President is hard? Try coaching up 16-years olds to fit properly against those commie wishbone teams in 30 degree weather.

Tampon Tim is such an on-brand attempt at a slur for these nut jobs. It’s perfect.

Walz: you guys are weird MAGA: oh yeah? TAMPONS!!

a politician who helps feed thousands of children is far more like jesus than a politician that wants to make america a christian nation

🎉🧵 We are very excited that VP Kamala Harris has selected Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. He has an incredible ability to connect with everyday Minnesotans and holds a remarkable track record ensuring our government delivers to working families across race and place. (1/4)

Lmao at the ‘Minneapolis is Scary’ crowd resurfacing this week 😂

Lord of the Rings is on Max. As a short man, I resent how useless Gimli the dwarf is. Almost as useless as merri and pippen are. Fellowship should’ve been six at most.

"Can my husband find out who I am voting for in the Presidential Election?" 🗳️ We've been getting this question a lot, so we rounded up some helpful facts. Please share this 🧵

Laura Ingraham: If you know Minnesota well, and I know it well -- especially Milwaukee -- it's changed.

A Twitter plea #RetweetItForward It’s clear the algorithms have changed on here. We’re all seeing more paid accounts/more ads. Engagement is down. So, if you see something you like, a book, a story, a bookshop, a writing account (they’re my bag), retweet it! For visibility!
