And they are not mutually exclusive.

This is why I'm sad to be losing him in Minnesota, but he's going to be good for the country as a whole.

As a Minnesotan, I’m disappointed to be losing our governor. He’s done great things for our state, but I’m hopeful that the Lt. Governor who will be taking his place will be a good replacement.

Walz’s ascension to the ticket leaves questions for Minnesota. Under the state Constitution, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan would become governor if Walz resigns, but he’s not on the ballot in Minnesota this fall, meaning he could wait until after the November election to step down. Flanagan, a member of the White Earth Nation, would become Minnesota’s first woman and first Native American governor.

I was making a snarky comment along the lines of "even a broken clock is right twice a day".

Well, if you're in the Midwest, the sky turns orange or green sometimes....usually right before a tornado shows up.

I hope he has the dedication to Minnesota to turn down an offer. He's done so much for us as governor.

And sanctuary state for reproductive healthcare with privacy protections and refusal of subpoena for medical records regarding abortions or other related procedures.

I came here to say, as a Minnesotan: "NO. HE'S OURS. HECK OFF, WE'RE KEEPING HIM!"

Tell me you didn't see/read Kamala's speech without telling me you didn't see/read Kamala's speech.....

"Tachycardia" is a sign. "Palpitations" or "heart racing" are symptoms. Signs are the objective things that can be measured and recorded as hard data. Symptoms are what the patient reports feeling that are not measurable. In taking a history and physical, the symptoms tell the physician what signs to look for.

I've worked in ERs before and dealt with a lot of mental health patients in crisis. I've met some schizophrenics that have been off their meds and on street drugs for months in the middle of a complete psychotic break that still have a better grasp on reality than some of these folks.

(To be clear, they were in that situation because they lost their job, home, and health insurance, so they had no way to access the medication that had kept them stable previously, and the street drugs were an attempt at self-medication.)
