How silly! Agents hiding their faces even inside immigration courts! I think they do it out of a sense of shame or embarrassment. No?

The Supreme Court needs to assert its independence and authority. It must be the voice of reason these days! Cicero would not approve thus far!

Coffee is up 26%
Baby strollers are up 25%
Beef is up 14%
School supplies are up 7%
Electricity is up 5%

In central MN, some people will see their health insurance premiums more than double if Congressional Republicans refuse to extend the health care tax credit.

In St. Cloud, a couple in their 60s could see their monthly premiums increase from less than $800 to almost $2,000.
