It was a great event. I love living in Minneapolis.

A company that makes a no-tech, repairable tractor is having trouble keeping up with demand from farmers sick of John Deere's repair monopoly and simply want a tractor that turns on and works: www.404media.co/demand-is-bo...

Trump's economy is now worse than the low points of the COVID pandemic. One out of every 10 families is skipping meals in the USA. 16% of the population needs food donations. This is everywhere, D and R, white and minority, rural and urban. Republicans do not care. www.npr.org/2026/05/27/n...

Blatant, in-your-face racism. Call this out. Always. Where are the journalists saying, "Mr. Trump, you're saying everyone from Somalia is a 'crook' – how is this not racist?"

Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

When he’s right, he’s right.

George Floyd is often remembered for the final 9 minutes and 29 seconds of his life. But for the 46 years before that, he was a son, a father, a brother, a friend, and a neighbor. He was a man whose life mattered, and our justice system should have treated him with basic human dignity.

Six years ago today, George Floyd’s murder started a global movement for change. Let us continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals of liberty and justice for all.

Trump and Hegseth are asking for a record $1.5 trillion defense budget. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering right now.

You’ve probably had your limit at this point, please read this explanation of what happened yesterday and share it widely. It’s more important than ever to make sure people understand why we have to vote for democracy and we have to get started now if we want to be able to vote.

The Trump administration blitz that flooded Minnesota with immigration agents also dramatically slowed other federal investigations and prosecutions into an array of serious crimes, a Reuters review of federal court records found.

Add lying under oath to his list of wrongdoings and crimes.

Attorney General Todd Blanche tells Kristen Welker that people selling 86 merchandise or posting messages similar to James Comey’s seashell post will NOT be prosecuted: “Of course not. That’s posted constantly. That phrase is used constantly.” DOJ is treating Comey differently for some reason.

It really is just pay-to-play. Let’s look at the backdoor deal that got a foreign company access to mine near the Boundary Waters.

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmed—and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the “tone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolis—and not a peep about the “tone” of the right.

Norah O'Donnell's "Oh, so you think he's referring to you?" to Donald Trump's "I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody" ranks with Dan Rather's "No, sir, Mr. President. Are you?" to Richard Nixon's "Are you running for something?" as the best reporter's retort of all time.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Here you have the US Senate maga republicans acting like the little cockroaches they are, scurrying around in the middle of the night to steal from you.

At last!

The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper nearly loses his mind listening to MAGA defend Trump's Al Jesus pic and his war with the pope.

It didn’t matter to Trump voters when he promised to hurt you or me, but now that it’s hitting them, they’re changing their tune. As soon as Democrats regain power and start fixing things, they’ll revert. It’s a cycle.

The map that is in this article is incredible. It shows that clearly something is going on in a lot of these rural counties, which is killing the people there. All the red ones are high farming, high chemical use areas. www.minnpost.com/health/2026/...

Man of the people.

I’d like to see Pete Hegseth eat one of these meals for his dinner.

The drunken Fox host, Pete Kegsbreath recited a Bible verse during a speech at a Pentagon church service. The problem: it's not actually from the Bible, it's from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.

A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.

Donald Trump cut health care for Americans so that Meta could get a $3 billion tax cut. I asked the IRS commissioner if that was a "really good outcome for the American public." He said yes.

Tell that to everyone now paying the skyrocketing gas prices your boss directly caused, Karoline. Up 94 CENTS A GALLON nationally from a year ago today. Donald Trump's administration continues to live in an alternate universe. What a completely detached failure.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran. These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East. And they put Trump's ego before America. Every damn time.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

It would be a miracle if it happens. Sort of like adding oil to the Tin Man
