OK, we're going to go with the 24-hour rule on this one … and if it's true, the legacy media will memory-hole it.

It's official, then: he's been indicted for the murder of a Minnesota state lawmaker and his wife.

Have you wondered why the story of the Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter has suddenly vanished from the news? Now we have a pretty good idea why. Boelter, who murdered State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband while also shooting State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, unleashed terror that sparked a massive manhunt before his capture late Sunday. Initial media coverage was rife with speculation, with left-leaning outlets eager to cast Boelter as a MAGA Republican, hastily blaming the GOP and even President Donald Trump for inciting his shooting spree. Yet the letter found in Boelter’s abandoned vehicle tells a...

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with former state House Speaker Melissa Hortman shortly before before she was tragically gunned down in her home alongside her husband. Klobuchar (D-Minn.) was informed about the heartbreaking loss by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) around 5 a.m. Saturday. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told Politico. “I was there when she was doorknocking in the beginning. … I was in county office and she was seeking the legislative office.” Hortman, who served as state speaker from 2019 until January 2025, was killed alongside her husband, Mark, early Saturday in...

House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson (R-Penn) defended the proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), saying "SNAP was never intended to be the entitlement welfare that Democrats have turned it into. Our Bill is putting it back on course by implementing 20 hours per week work requirements for able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 64 years old, excluding candy, snacks, junk food, and soda from being eligible for SNAP purchases, booting illegal migrants from the benefit rolls and shifting 5% of the cost burden of the program from the federal government to the states." "How...

Pro Tip, Senator Klobuchar: if you want to give people the impression that Donald Trump and the Republicans are looking to starve women and children out of spite, it's better not to put that message out there by dragging out a morbidly obese public employee as the face of your cause. Senator … I … I don’t know how to put this nicely but please fire your social media team. https://t.co/U94IliEtnm— Jarvis (@jarvis_best) June 12, 2025Today, we heard from Felecia, a single mom of four who works up to three jobs at a time to make ends meet. She counts...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that President Donald Trump was “hell bent on inflaming the situation” in Los Angeles by sending the National Guard to address protests. Klobuchar said, “Every governor is going to make their own decisions based on the situation. In this case, Governor Newsom has made clear that he wants local law enforcement protecting the citizens, and he has asked the president not to inflame the situation. In Governor Walz’s case, as you pointed out in the earlier segment, he did bring in the National Guard. I would also point out...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that a federal court’s decision to halt President Donald Trump’s tariffs showed he was not a “king.” Host Lawrence O’Donnell said, “I know this is a big a big night for Minnesota with Canada as your your biggest trading partner next door. You were up in Canada last week. You have a whole new discussion now to be had with Canada. None of Donald Trump’s tariffs apply anymore.” Klobuchar said, “We do and I will say, number one, you and I have been nerding out on this over and...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that former President Joe Biden should have dropped out of the 2024 presidential race earlier so Democrats could have had a primary. Host Kristen Welker said, “Senator, would the party have had a better chance at winning in 2024 had President Biden dropped out sooner?” Klobuchar said, “You know, everything we look at in a rear-view mirror after you lose an election. Yes, we would have been served better by a primary, but we are where we are. We’re not on the History Channel right now, and I believe...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Trump administration officials should be held in contempt of court for their actions in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Klobuchar said, “What you see right now is the courts doing their jobs. This is not just the district court. There is an appeals court with an opinion that was unanimous, written by a very conservative judge who had been appointed by Ronald Reagan. They made clear when you have something you did wrong, which the government did here, they admitted they shouldn’t have deported him. It...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said that “If you believe in capitalism, like I do, if you believe that the market has given us this incredible country,” you should address healthcare costs, housing, child care, and reducing the amount of debt the U.S. has and Congress “should be reducing some of the burden on people who make less, but actually increasing some of the corporate taxes so we can bring more funds in to do something about the debt.” Klobuchar said, “If you believe in capitalism, like I do, if you believe that the...

Democratic strategist James Carville suggested the Trump administration will “collapse” within 30 days as the public reacts to the sweeping actions from the executive branch. “I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days is in the midst of a massive collapse and particularly a collapse in public opinion,” Carville said during a conversation with Mediaite’s Dan Abrams about the Trump administration’s unprecedented recent actions. Abrams asked Carville to clarify what he meant to confirm that Carville believes the administration will crumble shortly. “It’s collapsing right now. We’re in the midst of a collapse,” Carville replied. “This is the...

Democrat political genius James Carville predicted that "the Trump Administration is collapsing right now. We're in the midst of a collapse. I've never been mistaken." Fact check: Carville predicted Kamala Harris would defeat Trump for the presidency last November. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash) said "billionaire Elon Musk and President Trump are proving every single day they do not know what they are doing. They are cutting expenditures that experts have declared are vital to our national interests. They are firing employees who lifetime employment rights have been guaranteed. They will soon have a mutiny on their hands." Sen. Amy Klobuchar...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Vice President JD Vance berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during their Oval Office meeting last week. Partial transcript as follows: KLOBUCHAR: We stand with our friends, not our enemies. We go into negotiations — the great country of America goes into negotiations with strength, not surrender. And I was appalled by what happened in the Oval Office. I was with President Zelensky with a number of Republican and Democratic senators before he left for the White House. He was in great spirits. He was excited to go and sign...

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) — an anti-Trump Democrat — was seemingly unable to remember what the price of eggs was in her home state, despite continually bringing attention to the high cost of eggs. The New York Times interviewed Klobuchar about her insistence on bringing up the price of eggs, using it — seemingly — to suggest that President Trump has failed, despite his being in office just over one month after four years of rising prices and rampant inflation under the Biden administration.

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Monday on ABC’s “The View” that voters had remorse over President Donald Trump and that would keep “building.” Co-host Sunny Hostin asked, “What do you make of this shift in the electorate? Are voters having remorse, voters remorse already?” Klobuchar said, “I think so, and it’s going to keep building given what he’s doing, but chaos is up, corruption is up, and costs are up. Like you said, ask anyone in the egg aisle. Part of this is you’ve got to look at what’s going on. He and Elon Musk, they’re looking for money everywhere.”...

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) criticized President Trump’s decision to impose 25 percent tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods and a 10 percent tariff on Chinese exports. In an interview on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Klobuchar said Americans are likely to see prices continue to rise with Trump’s tariffs imposed on goods. “This is just the latest example, as you’ve detailed every day, chaos up, corruption up, and, sadly, prices of eggs up. And we’re going to see more of this if he follows through on this 25 percent tariff on Canada, Mexico, 10 percent on China,” Klobuchar told Psaki.

Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) melted down during her line of questioning at the confirmation hearing for Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of the FBI, as Patel blasted “false accusations and grotesque mischaracterizations.” An icy Klobuchar began her line of questioning by offering numerous incomplete quotes, asking Patel time and time again if he made those statements. Patel repeatedly told her he did not have the information in front of him and sometimes pointed out that she was offering what seemed to be partial or incomplete statements. At one point during the line of questioning, Klobuchar expressed...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, did not have to be rushed through the confirmation process despite the recent terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. According to the Minnesota Democrat, the FBI is “very functional.” Host Jake Tapper said, “In light of the New Orleans terrorist attack, Trump allies are urging you and your colleagues in the Senate to move quickly on confirming the president elect’s national security team. You have signaled some opposition to Kash Patel serving as leader of the...
