I am literally begging everyone in Minnesota to flip their ballot over and vote for Paul Thissen. Michelle MacDonald is a far-right Bible-prop-using drunk-driving frivolous-lawsuit-filing disaster of a candidate.
Her past shenanigans involve a non-profit that spent years mostly appearing to exist as a PR wing for a woman who kidnapped and hid her children as part of a child custody dispute while pretending they were missing.
Here's what I wrote about her in 2014, when she got banned from the Republican Booth at the State Fair:

Here's what I wrote about her in 2018, when she got disciplined for some of her shenanigans during the Grazzini-Rucki case:

This year she's in trouble for a frivolous lawsuit against a blogger (not me, a different blogger).

MICHELLE MACDONALD SHOULD BE NOWHERE NEAR A JUDGE'S BENCH AT ANY LEVEL.

VOTE FOR PAUL THISSEN.

I forgot to add a description to the gif. It's a guy skateboarding up to a barrier, trying to jump over it to land on the skateboard again, and fucking it up.
Oh man I really should have searched for "Wile E Coyote" when I was trying to find an appropriate gif.

And here is the thread that was her LRT:

One of the weird frustrations of Twitter is what a radically different experience it becomes as your follower count rises.

The thing about steroids is that they do multiple things at once. This is true for most drugs, but it really does seem to be ESPECIALLY true of steroids.
Two of the major effects of oral steroids:

1. They reduce inflammation.
2. They suppress your immune system.

They're really good at both of these things and are in fact used for both of these clinically. Occasionally you want to do both at once!
However, if someone is sick with a virus, the "suppress the immune system" response is more likely to be a bug than a feature. (Not always, but a lot of the time.)

So: diagnosed Wednesday morning.

Wednesday afternoon, he flew into MY STATE to knowingly expose people in MY STATE who are now going to get sick.
One of his events on Wednesday was a small, intimate house party that people paid $200,000/head to attend, and I know I keep hammering on this, but. This was the VERY DEFINITION of a high-risk event even if know one there knew they were sick.
Do I care about the well-being of a bunch of Trump supporters who are so loaded they dropped $200K to spend an hour palling around with the guy? Not really. I care about their housekeepers and nannies and gardeners. I care about their kids and the people teaching their kids.

I heard a news story on NPR this afternoon about a coal mine owner who has spent years lobbying against restrictions on how much dust miners can inhale who has now developed black lung disease.
There are people who make bad decisions for themselves and pay the price. And it sucks and if it's someone I know and like, I'll be very sad.
But there are also people who make bad decisions for everyone around them. Who make it clear they don't give a flying fuck what happens to the people around them. And yes: we all have a different response to THOSE chickens coming home to roost.

I saw this headline and actually laughed out loud.

THE REST OF US KNEW WHO HE WAS, SCOTT. HE'S SHOWN US EVERY FUCKING DAY FOR FOUR YEARS.
I mean, I will note that Scott is not wrong. "Will you condemn white supremacy" isn't even a slow, easy pitch over home plate. It's putting a ball on a tee for you to swing at.
This is an invitation to look straight into the camera and say, "Of course I condemn white supremacy. I believe that all men and women are created equal. If that's not something you can get behind, you're un-American and a bad person."
