Rep. Rashida Tlaib on effort to erase Gaza death toll: "There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don't even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all. Not when they're alive—and now, not even when they're dead."

First Minnesota State Fair assignment of 2024! It’s a big day! Dozens of fish being dunked into their new, temporary home at the DNR pond 🐟 KSTP

Longest line I’ve seen so far at the #MNStateFair this year. Those amish donuts? Nope. Sweet Martha’s? Wrong. Pickle pizza? ❌ It was this one…. (#MnWild)

No Minnesota men's pro team has reached the championship round in any sport since 1991. Since then, the Lynx have reached the WNBA Finals seven times, and they weren't even a thing until 1999. #wnba

Before delivering his Christmas greetings to the Roman Curia this morning, #PopeFrancis informed them: “Yesterday they didn’t let the Patriarch [of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pizzaballa] enter Gaza as they had promised & yesterday children were bombed. This is cruelty. This is not war.”

Let us #PrayTogether for #peace. May the international community act firmly so that humanitarian law is respected in all conflicts. Stop targeting civilians; stop targeting schools, hospitals, and workplaces! War is always a defeat!

Reporter Sam Husseini was just physically dragged from Blinken’s briefing. “Why aren’t you at The Hague?” he asked.
