Ok this is officially the best way to deal with Karens. Whoever’s dad this is in Seattle, please tell him he’s my hero. 😂

Deleted first tweet. Now trying it again It’s hard to be a bigger fan of Tim Walz, but this commentary in the The Minnesota Star Tribune today is really powerful. Minnesota DFL Party #harriswalz

Wow! This is the line to drop off ballots in the Villages, a historically Republican area. Florida Democrats are fired up.
