More wasting of taxpayer resources to pursue Trump’s petty vengeance.

They’re eating the dogs, eating the cats. Same vibe.

Let Them Eat Cake

At least 1/3 of military life is ‘hurry up and wait’.

As I said in a speech recently, the DOJ lawyers involved in these abusive prosecutions "have betrayed their oaths of office and violated their professional obligations... Perhaps they tell themselves that guilt or innocence is a question for the jury. Maybe they felt relief when grand juries refused to indict, or when courts dismissed charges, but charge by charge, case by case, these lawyers injured the rule of law. They made America a country where every citizen must worry a bit more about speaking his or her mind, a bit more reluctant to engage in our politics."

I guess I'm old-fashioned, but I think it should be a bigger story that the eldest son of the President of the United States is vacationing with corrupt Russian oligarchs.

Russia is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity by intentionally attacking civilian infrastructure – including vital energy systems – in Ukraine, an independent UN investigations panel said on Monday. cnn.com/2026/10/26/europe/un…

Dangling this kind of money will bring in a flood of frivolous allegations which, of course, this White House will treat with the utmost seriousness and reason to interfere with the elections.

In this day and age of precision drones and missiles, there is no excuse for targeting of civilians. This is intentional. This is a war crime. Trump’s assistance to Putin makes the US complicit in war crimes. @RepFinstad

If Trump does manage a last minute visit to Minnesota to campaign for Tafoya, it would likely clinch the election for Flanagan.

They, in fact, came to our aid after we were attacked on 9/11. So yes.

It is not Leaving MAGA's approach to debate; this is why we avoid the question of, "why leave MAGA?" But if I had to offer an answer, it would be: because being in MAGA kills off one's empathy. When I left MAGA, I reclaimed my empathy, and became what I call a born-again human being.

Filling up a Ford F-150 truck now costs about $100, up $30 from a year ago. Mortgage rates have jumped to levels that have depressed home sales. And for the past 12 months, consumer prices have risen faster than paychecks, making the average family poorer. abcnews.link/lZflzAb

Visit the social media pages of the Republicans and Democrats, and you'll see a lot of posts telling you how awful the other party is and why you should vote against them. On our page we're making the case for the Forward Independence movement. We're talking about bringing people together, putting problem-solving ahead of partisan politics, and giving Minnesotans a real alternative to the two major parties. We don't need to convince you to hate the other side. We want to give you something worth voting FOR. And there's an opportunity to take a major step forward this November. If Jay Reeves receives at least 8% of the vote for State Auditor, Forward Independence becomes a Major Party in Minnesota.

If Congress considers TCAVA and the Major Richard Star Act separately in November, each vote will stand on its own. Supporting the clean Major Richard Star Act does not require accepting TCAVA’s disability compensation pay-for. Congress must oppose TCAVA as written and pass the clean Major Richard Star Act (H.R. 2102). Veterans are watching.

I won a @Milreporters Award for two stories I wrote about the Iranian drone that killed six Americans in Kuwait at the start of the U.S.-Iran war. @SeanParnellASW disputed the reporting. He said it was a "secured facility" because it had 6-foot walls, soldiers on the ground disagreed.

How tone deaf to say benefit cuts to future Veterans means ‘big savings’. #HonorTheContract

This is a good place to note that neither party -- not Trump's GOP and certainly not the Democrats -- are talking about reducing the power, reach, control, and even ownership of government over individuals, businesses, the economy. It's still statism run amok.
