Democrats denounced a report issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence as politically motivated and error-ridden. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Friday issued the latest in a series of reports from the Trump administration attempting to undermine the eight-year-old assessment that Russia favored the election of Donald J. Trump in 2016. Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, said the information she was releasing showed a “treasonous conspiracy in 2016” by top Obama administration officials to harm Mr. Trump. Democrats denounced the effort as politically motivated, error-ridden and in contradiction with previous reviews...

Democrat Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh laid out his vision on Sunday to freeze rent, rapidly raise the minimum wage and refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. Fateh, who is currently a Minnesota state senator, posted a video to his X account calling to “protect” Minneapolis from a “hostile White House,” increase the minimum wage by $20 by 2028 and prohibit the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) from “interacting” with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The mayoral candidate, who announced his candidacy in December, has a platform that strongly resembles Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s. “Protecting all...

CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert because it was losing $40 million a year, it was claimed. Puck journalist Matthew Belloni revealed Colbert's astonishing lack of profitability Friday, hours after CNN first broke the news that the show was canceled because it was in the red. Belloni outlined how The Late Show - whose cancelation was announced Thursday - costs $100m a year to produce, with Colbert, 61, getting paid between $15 million and $20 million a year to host.

Three members of Jane's Addiction — Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins — have sued singer Perry Farrell following a fight that occurred onstage during one of the band's concerts on Sept. 13, 2024. At that show, Navarro and Farrell got into an altercation in front of the audience, and Farrell could be seen pushing and then punching Navarro. The concert was cut short, and the band issued a statement not long afterward. "We want to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night," it said. "As a result, we will be cancelling...

Longtime President Donald Trump political foe Democrat California Sen. Adam Schiff was referred to the Department of Justice to face criminal prosecution over alleged mortgage fraud that reportedly stretches back years. Schiff, who was elected to the Senate in the 2024 election cycle following decades as a House lawmaker, is under scrutiny after the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sent a letter to the Department of Justice in May sounding the alarm that in "multiple instances," Schiff allegedly "falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, impacting payments from 2003-2019 for a Potomac, Maryland-based property."...

This is for us ole timers that like John Wayne, Dean Martin Ricky Nelson, and Gabby Hayes. This is meant to be a funny video about a dancing dove, with a musical piece that I always think is very appropriate for cowboy western movies about Mexico. I hope you enjoy it.

President Donald Trump on Friday officially sued the Wall Street Journal, its owner Rupert Murdoch and some of its staff for publishing its story on the president and Jeffrey Epstein, fulfilling a promise he made Thursday night. Trump made the promise in an angry social media post, where he claimed the story was "fake" and that the birthday card the outlet claimed he had sent to Epstein for his 50th birthday did not even sound like him. The text of the libel lawsuit, which was filed in federal court for the Southern District of Florida, was not immediately available, per...

After meeting with leading New York City mayoral contender Zohran Mamdani, Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., issued a lukewarm statement through a spokesperson about the meeting and did not endorse his party's nominee. Mamdani, a New York state assemblyman and self-proclaimed socialist who has promised to overhaul New York City and launch massive new government programs, has been endorsed by progressive politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. Despite winning the Democratic Party’s nomination over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo by a wide margin, Mamdani has yet to be endorsed by the party’s top...

FIRST ON FOX: A $250 million fraud scheme that exploited a federally funded children's nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic has been described by FBI Director Kash Patel as "one of the worst" in Minnesota history. The FBI director told Fox News in a statement that 70 people in Minnesota have been indicted for their role in the sprawling "Feeding our Future" fraud scheme during the COVID-19 pandemic, which exploited a federal program designed to reimburse states for the cost of feeding children. Conspirators falsely claimed to have served millions of meals during the pandemic, but instead used the money...

Clashes erupted between riot police and migrants early this morning in northern France, with projectiles thrown and fires lit in the street. Dramatic pictures and video show a group throwing rocks in the direction of the officers early on Friday, while fires blazed in the road near a park in Gravelines. The confrontation is said to have been triggered when police arrived to stop the launch of a small boat, likely bound for Britain, from a canal in the town. A number of men who faced off with police were wearing life jackets, according to reporters at the scene. The...

It is clear we are being watched. Authorities have already stopped our car twice as we approach the heavily fortified border, via back roads. As one guard reminds us while inspecting our IDs, we are a long way off the tourist trail. Tensions are high here, where Poland and Russia intersect. It is — literally — a clash of worlds. To one side, democracy, NATO and the European Union. On the other? Vladimir Putin’s increasingly aggressive and expansionist regime. Some people are concerned this remote region could be the Russian president’s next target, perhaps after the conclusion of his war...

President Donald Trump abruptly reversed course earlier this month when he decided to send Patriot missiles, along with other possibly offensive weaponry, to Ukraine, provided that European nations pay the United States for them. Trump also announced that he would place 100 per cent tariffs on Russia if, after 50 days, Russian President Vladimir Putin had failed to move to a ceasefire. The shift irritated some on the American Right, who wish to see Europe do more on a war which directly affects them, but it pleased the Ukrainian government and pro-Ukrainian voices in the United States. But for some...

The convictions will have major ramifications for the Minnesota Senate and the state's political landscape. Sen. Nicole Mitchell, DFL-Woodbury, was found guilty of first-degree burglary in a stunning conclusion to a legal saga that began more than a year ago. In April 2024, Mitchell was arrested and charged with first-degree burglary after allegedly breaking into her stepmother’s Detroit Lakes home with the intent to take items that once belonged to her late father. A second felony charge, possession of burglary or theft tools, was later added by prosecutors. Mitchell’s trial began on Monday and featured body-camera footage, several witnesses, and...
