Sand in the machine. Lessons from Norwegian Resistance

‪Thread by @TorEkelandPC: "My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance.

What is with CD-06?

For 20 years I’ve wanted to flip this seat. Patty Wetterling, El Tinklinberg, Jim Graves all lost to GOP Bachman or Emmer. Does GOP run stealth candidates as DFL to keep it red? Am I being paranoid?

I wish Al Franken would run, but that’s a fantasy.
Frustrating, with the right candidate it could be blue again.

Klobuchar wants to release names of Senate harrassment payoffs

But Shelby is the holdout. Put pressure on him to release the names. I suspect some BIG Republican names are in the data. Shelby is covering for someone. Tim Kaine requested the list of names but was told it was already released to Senate Rules & Administration, Shelby’s Committee.
