And this pathetic effort by the @GopherFootball team is not a surprise. Outcoached and not ready to play.
What a horrible start by the @GopherFootball team - down by 10 already and defense getting carved up.

It should be noted that @Xfinity still charges customers a "regional sports fee", despite currently only offering the Twins, and that is only for half the year. They saved a ton of money when FanDuel Sports Network folded, and it appears they're doing their best to keep that extra money.
Another amazing thing our great Canadian neighbors did for the U.S. Most Americans remain grateful for our wonderful ally and neighbor. God bless 🇨🇦!
On 9/11, after US airspace closed, Canada launched Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander, a town of 10,000, received 38 airliners. Residents sheltered, fed, clothed, and supported stranded passengers for days, providing this hospitality free of charge.

Thank you #ScottPelley for standing up for journalistic integrity in face of the incompetence of @bariweiss and whatever is left of @CBSNews & @60Minutes - I will not watch their programming again. Goodbye @CBS
Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
Hey @Twins another uninspiring effort against a last place team. Let’s please start the youth movement. This roster is so poorly constructed.
Hey @RandBall maybe you could talk with @Patrick_Reusse on Monday on how many leads in the 8th & 9th this @Twins bullpen has blown. Again today.
Thanks @springsteen for speaking the truth and sticking up for Americans!
“An American outrage”: Bruce Springsteen weighs in on Trump’s $1.776B “anti-weaponization fund” that could go to Jan. 6 rioters.
What a concert last night by @springsteen and the E Street Band. Electric and his messaging was on point!
Bruce Springsteen closed his concert in Minneapolis by paying tribute to Renée Good and encouraging fans to heed John Lewis's famous call to "get into good trouble."
"These are the hard times, but we'll make it through. We're the Americans. But I think — I know — for me, the hardest part about all of this is feeling the distance between your neighbors, your fellow citizens, and that distance… well, it can darken your soul. Now we have a leader who says he wishes nothing but ill upon the people he disagrees with, and who disagree with him. I don't feel that way. America, from the beginning, was born out of disagreement. It was built on disagreement. We can argue about what course we thought the country should take while recognizing our common humanity, our dignity and, yes, our unity...
"I go back to thinking about Renée Good's last words before she died, to the man who she was protesting against, the man who would take her life. She said, 'That's fine, dude, I’m not mad at you. I'm not mad.' God bless her.
"So tonight, when you go home, hold your loved ones close. And tomorrow, do as Renée did, find a way to take aggressive, peaceful action to defend our country’s ideals. And as the great civil rights leader John Lewis said, 'Go out and get into some good trouble. Say something. Do something. Help! Sing something!' If you're feeling helpless, hopeless, betrayed, frustrated, angry … I know I've been. That's why The E Street Band is here tonight. This is a tour that was not planned. We’re here tonight because we need to feel your hope, and your strength. And we want to bring some hope and some strength for you. I hope we did that. All I can say is God bless Alex Pretti, God bless Renée Good, God bless you, and God bless America."

This is absolutely despicable. @mngop will you ever starting protecting our citizens or just continue to kneel down to your leader?
Five years since one of the darkest days in the history of our country. Never forget what this was - an insurrection!
