dianajerut60221: Politics is not predictions and politics is not observations. Politics is what we do. Politics is what we do, politics is what we create, by what we work for, by what we hope for and what we dare to imagine.,Paul Wellstone,Work, Politics, Dare ,
denniskaiser4: Sen. Paul Wellstone voted against the Iraq War. Dick Cheney told him; "If you vote against the war There will be severe ramifications for you." A few weeks later he died in a Plane Crash FBI agents were at the scene before the plane went down
DazyCraisy: George Soros-funded this, Soros-funded that, it looks like fascists, rednecks and trailer trash in America won't ever break the chains from the boogeyman under their bed. So far though, they haven't assassinated him like they did Paul Wellstone.
dahigginbothk: I’ve recently become obsessed reading about late Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone, a man of principle who genuinely cared about the community
1_urkingkingof: I’m not at all a conspiracy guy but 2 things are just a bit two coincidental:
1.Plum Island being so close to Old Lyme/Lyme Disease first cases
2.timing and circumstance of Paul Wellstone’s death.
Any others???

the_greeleycrat: tl idea: what if paul wellstone died in a car crash instead
IBJIYONGI: sometimes I think about what might have been if Paul Wellstone and Jack Layton had both lived
skep_observer: Quite a seismic pickup that also flew under the radar. The Iron Range now has a GOP Rep. The same Iron Range that elevated Paul Wellstone to god status. Now, Stauber is very entrenched.

HowardKushlan: Paul Wellstone was a friend and mentor to me. When the Iraq War vote came up, the GOP schedule it for October 2002 so that Dems up for re-election would feel extra pressure. I think Paul was the only Senator up for re-election that year to vote against it. Brave stance.
BicycleThing: All my homies know Paul Wellstone was assassinated

Congratulations Amy!
jazza2z: I suggest reading the late Senator Paul Wellstone’s book “The Conscious of a Liberal” or Jesse Jackson’s speech at the 1984 Democrat Convention. It will be obvious that the Democrat Party of today has in deeds, actions, and policy abandoned the needs and wants of it’s base!

mj_novitsky: SO Chuck Schumer (Schomer "Protector of Israel US Senate) who said/WARNED "Don't take on the Intelligence Community. They have six ways from Sunday to take you down." (Like Paul Wellstone or Russ Feingold?) PROVES THAT J-6 needs more than a made-for-tv BIASED Kabuki PR Stunt! MJN

Cory_Haala: ...when, as my parents like to remind me, he yelled at me (at a birthday party in a church basement) when I was 12 b/c I thought Minnesota should elect Norm Coleman, not Walter Mondale, after Paul Wellstone's fatal plane crash.
Great guy. An honor to tell his story in this book.

New_Nationalist: The Assassination of US Sen. Paul Wellstone, One of the Last Anti-War Populist Progressives
jhamby: Speaking of Walter Mondale, suspicious plane crashes, and popular sincere Democratic politicians, I remember how shocked and also suspicious everyone was in 2002 when popular progressive Democrat Paul Wellstone died in a small plane crash.
jhamby: "After his sudden death, Wellstone was replaced on the ballot by former Vice President Walter Mondale, who lost by a slim margin to [former St. Paul Mayor Norm] Coleman. Wellstone's sons, David and Mark, were not on the flight…"
Wellstone could've been the 2004 Dem candidate.
jhamby: If Paul Wellstone hadn't died in 2002, he could've easily won the Democratic primary in 2004 and been on the ballot against George W. Bush, rather than the uncharismatic but accomplished John Kerry, who lost in part due to dirty tricks (lies about his actual Vietnam War record).

ReneeEliCooper: A 14, 16 & 17-year-old were the victims of a drive-by shooting after a funeral reception for Devin Scott (15) Friday at St. Paul's Wellstone Community Center, police say.
Scott was fatally stabbed at St. Paul's Harding HS on Feb. 10. I'm told the family left before the shooting.
WDAYnews: Officers were called to the Wellstone Center on the city’s West Side at 7:42 p.m. on a report of a shooting with multiple victims.
MSVintageValues: FYI, I'm old-time Minnesota DFL; voted for Mondale in more than one election. My fam knew his; & knew Paul. There was lots of local talk about the crash. The conspiracy theories were debated and debunked. He & his staff made a mistake. So did the pilots.
EricShapiro3: What I find most absurd about calling criticism of AIPAC’s corruption “antisemitism” is the fact that Jews, from Louis D. Brandeis, to Ruth Bader Ginsburg to Paul Wellstone, to Russ Feingold to Bernie Sanders have stood AGAINST money in politics.

EricShapiro3: Paul Wellstone is a political hero of mine. He was a progressive who focused on mental health policy not as an afterthought but as a priority. He left a void when he died tragically in a plane crash. Maybe Senator Fetterman could step into it?

TimHagg74124094: I've heard and watched a lot of musicians on TikTok live. I have a hard time understanding how some can say such hurtful things when these people are just showing their talent.

edroso: Thinking back to how the Republican Party actually made a campaign issue of Democrats "politicizing" the funeral of Senator Paul Wellstone in 2002.
JimMcKayWV: Dear Policy Makers, placing restrictions on programs that help people is not courageous. It is not disciplined. It is selfish and harmful. As Paul Wellstone said, “We all do better, when we ALL do better.” Withholding support from someone who is struggling is harmful to everyone.
