A picture of a Nokia phone and a note. The note says, "A rose is not a good symbol for love. Roses wilt. I will not give you a rose or even flowers. Our love is forever. So here is a Nokia phone."

So the 2% party, if he tries really hard.

With few exceptions,[1] the U.S. system has two major parties which have won, on average, 98% of all state and federal seats.[2] According to Duverger's law two main political parties emerge in political systems with plurality voting in single-member districts. In this case, votes for minor parties can potentially be regarded splitting votes away from the most similar major party.[2][3]

Note: this is Scott Weiner, not Anthony Weiner.

Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress in June 2011 after it was revealed that he had sent sexually suggestive photos of himself to different women, including a minor.

CISA workforce cut by nearly one-third so far

The agency has lost roughly 1,000 staffers in the wake of the Trump administration’s workforce cuts.

Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley said that it was not a police officer.

According to this article: https://www.fox9.com/news/melissa-hortman-john-hoffman-lawmakers-shot-minnesota

Police say they are looking for a suspect in multiple targeted shootings. The suspect is armed and dangerous. The suspect is a white man with brown hair wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants, and he may be impersonating law enforcement.

It's the outfit that he is wearing (black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants) that may give the appearance of law enforcement.

The victims:

Hortman, was Democrat from Brooklyn Park, and represented District 34B. Hoffman, a Democrat from Champlin, represents Senate District 34.
