It’s pretty bad when the only person praising your military doctrine is Vladimir Putin.

NYU law prof and team reviewed over 400 lawsuits against the Trump administration.
“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said, what the government is providing is false information, including false sworn declarations, time and again.”

In Minnesota we’re cutting social security taxes, allowing Minnesotans to age in their homes, and investing in safe communities.
That’s what makes us the second-best state to retire. Give us a few more days above 0° and we’ll knock Florida out of #1 😎

ICE in Burnsville, MN followed a family home, broke down their door, and abducted 4 of them at gunpoint including the parents of a 7 year old and the husband of a pregnant woman. All of this occurred without a warrant for a home owned by a US citizen. (12/6/25)

Jasmine Crockett: “If the numbers are strong that I am our best shot, then it’s bigger than my district — It’s bigger than the state of Texas — This is about the country because we know if we can change the Senate map in this country, then that’s where we start to get wins”

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Europe Sounds the Alarm as the United States Sides With Putin
While Russian drones target NATO allies and Ukraine’s president, Trump’s America abandons its commitments and openly embraces a strategy that weakens Europe and empowers the Kremlin.

Rebecca Slaughter helped the FTC sue big corporations for abusing their power and ripping off customers. Then Trump fired her.
Today, a lawsuit over the legality of her firing will be argued before SCOTUS.

The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs.
They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.

Pregnant immigrants held for months in detention despite rules against it
With the immigration crackdown, more pregnant women are being detained. The ACLU alleges a woman was shackled while miscarrying and others were denied prenatal care.

I imagine my response to seeing a US bomb blow up a Jeep of combatants in Afghanistan would differ from US bombing 2 Venezuelans clinging to boat wreckage, knowing we are not at war and have never attempted to capture, search, interrogate these supposed drug terrorists. Knowing our DoD lies.

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.
