This is the key point: the American Dream is that anyone can make a better life for themselves and their children no matter their circumstances When that dream is taken from one of us it is taken from all of us

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Ending a great Sunday in Fairmont with this group of fired up Minnesotans, helping me and Jake Johnson, our candidate for the 1st district congressional seat in Southern Minnesota! Getting out and talking to people is how we win — outside money can’t beat that.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias has died at a GEO-owned for-profit concentration camp in Texas. DHS denied him life saving medication, including for heart disease after he complained of chest tightness and trouble breathing. Emiliano was a father, husband, son who deserved dignity and due process.

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

Tom Skerritt was such a natural and was so good in so many things that everyone will, rightly, associate him with different films/shows. For me, it's TOP GUN and STEEL MAGNOLIAS. He was so likable, largely because he wasn't trying to be. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Q: Why did you make no mention of the sexual allegations of sexual abuse Amy Acton made about her stepfather who stayed married to her mother? Trump: The mother said she was a dirty liar. I don't know why you are not allowed to say that. That one ad should really win. I say that she's fair game

Billionaires throw a fit at the idea of an annual wealth tax... but literally everyone else already pays one via property taxes (either directly as a homeowner or secondarily as a renter). The only reason securities aren't taxed the same is because that's where the rich keep most of their wealth.

“The borrowing let Ellison keep his stock and avoid locking in taxable gains, and highlighted how billionaires often employ a strategy called ‘buy, borrow and die’ to retain their wealth without selling assets.”

A president saying clearly and with his full chest “I am directing the Department of Justice” to do … anything, would have been a five-alarm scandal in previous years. Now? It’s just a Tuesday.

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
