Imallin4Joe's JournalRep. Jen Schultz of Duluth challenges Stauber for Congress
ST. PAUL Minn. (AP) — Democratic state Rep. Jen Schultz, of Duluth, entered the race for Congress in northeastern Minnesota on Monday, giving her party a credible challenger to Republican incumbent Pete Stauber in a district that's been trending toward the GOP.
After making the announcement in Virginia and Duluth, Schultz headed for the State Capitol, where around 20 Democratic lawmakers joined her in a show of support, including from House Speaker Melissa Hortman, of Brooklyn Park, who touted her record of getting things done.
“Unfortunately, Pete Stauber, our current congressman in the 8th, has done nothing good for Minnesota or the 8th Congressional District,” Schultz told reporters. She specifically faulted him for voting against President Joe Biden's infrastructure bill and supporting an unsuccessful Texas lawsuit to invalidate Biden's election victory.
And while Stauber has long depicted himself as a champion of northeastern Minnesota's mining industry, Schultz charged that it's just been “lip service.” She said she supports miners and the mining industry, adding: "I support good union jobs and believe that we can have both mining and the environmental protections that we need to protect the area for future generations.”

Out of Context...
is the speech of racists.
Whenever right-wing GQP'ers get caught regurgitating racist speech, they always resort to the same old lame-ass argument..
"My words were taken out-of-context."
Democrats, put context on it. That is their defense for their racist language.
"Taken out of context" is their defense for the GQP's racist hate speech.
Out-of-context, my ass. They meant every fucking word of their racist speech. They just want to try walk it back for damage control.
Democrats, DEMAND racist Sen Mike Braun-Ind's resignation.
His comments about his racist opposition to interracial marriage are unforgivable.
Congress needs to censure his racist ass.
He CANNOT continue to "serve".
Pope Francis condemns 'inhuman and sacrilegious' war against Ukraine
Source: Yahoo News
Pope Francis on Sunday sharpened his rhetoric against Russia's shelling of Ukrainian civilians in its increasingly brutal invasion.
“All this is inhuman!" Francis said, according to a translation published by Vatican News, the Holy See's media portal.
"Indeed, it is also sacrilegious," he continued, "because it goes against the sacredness of human life, especially against defenseless human life, which must be respected and protected, not eliminated, and which comes before any strategy! Let us not forget: It is a cruelty, inhuman and sacrilegious.”
The pope’s condemnation of Russia's war against Ukraine represents a continuation of his activism on the issue. In the opening days of Russia's assault, Francis visited the Russian embassy to lobby for peace. On Ash Wednesday, earlier this month, Francis used his address to the world's 1.3 billion Catholics to call for public prayer to "appeal to the conscience of all those who have power over war and peace." And on Friday, Francis spoke at a gathering of European Catholic representatives, calling Russia's war against its smaller neighbor a "perverse abuse of power."

Start IDENTIFYING Republicans who are Pro-Putin.
Voters FUCKING HATE Putin.
The World FUCKING HATES Putin.
Democrats running for office in the midterms,
EXPOSING, IDENTIFYING, AND THUS CONDEMNING your GQP political opponents with campaign ads is a winning strategy.
Nail their Putin-loving reputations to the wall.
Marjorie Taylor-Greene-Booger is a Putin loving fangirl. Just an easy example.
Let's go fishing for some Putin-loving RethuQs and expose them.
Often,
Our Dem candidates will have an easy message to destroy their GQP opponents in the upcoming midterms.
So far, only a few GOPers have condemned Putin. Sen. Lyndsey Graham basically called for Putin's assassination.
Most of the remaining GOP is silent. What are they hiding?
Expose them and win swing districts.

Senate passes bill to avert shutdown, extend $14 billion in Ukraine aid
Source: WaPo
Congressional Democrats and Republicans took the final step Thursday night to approve roughly $14 billion in humanitarian, military and economic assistance to Ukraine, part of a sweeping spending package that funds the federal government and staves off a looming shutdown that would have occurred at the end of the week.
The overwhelmingly bipartisan Senate vote now sends the measure to President Biden for his signature, capping off a fierce, urgent push in the nation’s capital to respond to the geopolitical unrest roiling Europe as a result of Russia’s invasion.
The aid includes money to shore up Ukraine and its defenses, including investments meant to help protect against cyberattacks and bolster regional allies against any further Kremlin-led aggression. It also features new support for federal programs that allow the U.S. government to respond to food insecurity, assist in refugee resettlement and address other humanitarian needs.
And the emergency package further empowers Washington to enforce the significant, crippling sanctions it has levied on Russia and its political elite in recent weeks. The money underscores a broader, global strategy to maximize economic pressure on the country and its leader, President Vladimir Putin, in a bid to force him to rethink the war.

There may be a new COVID variant, Deltacron. Here's what we know about it.
Source: USA Today
A potential new COVID-19 variant, a combination of the delta and omicron variants – you can call it "deltacron" – has been identified.
The World Health Organization said Wednesday that the new COVID-19 combination has been detected in France, the Netherlands and Denmark. It's also been found in the U.S., according to a new report soon to be published on research site MedRxiv, and viewed by USA TODAY.

Experts say it's too soon to worry about deltacron. Compared with earlier variants, such as delta and omicron, this new variation – researchers have not adopted the "deltacron" name officially – appears unlikely to spread as easily, said William Lee, the chief science officer at Helix.
