Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) is blaming leftist groups and his own party for the ongoing government shutdown. In a social media post on Wednesday, Golden wrote, “This government shutdown is the result of hardball politics driven by the demands far-left groups are making for Democratic Party leaders to put on a show of their opposition to President Trump.” He added the shutdown is “hurting Americans and our economy, and the irony is it has only handed more power to the president.” Golden continued: This fight is ostensibly about health care, so let me be clear: I opposed the GOP’s Medicaid...

The Mamdani momentum is taking the country by storm. After his big New York City primary win shocked the Democratic establishment, socialists like Zohran Mamdani are not just gaining popularity, but are actually being recognized as serious candidates in elections across the nation. One of those key elections is the Minneapolis mayoral race, where Democratic Socialist State Senator Omar Fateh is now just 5 points behind incumbent Democratic mayor Jacob Frey, who is seeking reelection for a third term. Fateh joins Mehdi to discuss the mayoral race, the racist and Islamophobic attacks he’s received, and how he plans to stand...

Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸 @Bubblebathgirl Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) says he’s “baffled” by the hilarious memes President Trump has been putting out making fun of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. The fact Walz is talking about the memes means they’re working. His brain clearly isn’t.

The devices had destructive potential but never went off despite being reportedly planted 16 hours ahead of time set with one hour timers. And one witness told investigators that at least one of the bombs may not have been planted the night before. The unsolved case of two pipe bombs planted at the major political parties' headquarters in Washington D.C. before the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot is facing new mystery after FBI Director Kash Patel transmitted to Congress the lab analysis and interviews with a key witness who is challenging the official timeline of events.The documents obtained by...

Legendary pro-golfer Phil Mickelson went scorched earth on Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar after she doubled down on her controversial comments about Charlie Kirk. “Ilhan spews hate every time she opens her mouth, she came here fraudulently and will hopefully be sent back to Somalia soon,” the LIV Tour golfer wrote on X Saturday.

"Minnesota is drowning in fraud” Over the summer I wrote about the grand scale of the latest stage of Somali welfare fraud in Minnesota. The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning. In 2019, Feeding Our Future distributed $3.4 million in taxpayer food aid funds to the non-profits it was sponsoring, In 2020, that shot up to $42 million...

The ghost of the 2024 election continues to haunt Kamala Harris as she revisits her ill-fated decision to put Tim Walz on the ticket. Harris writes in her new memoir that the Minnesota governor was not her “first choice” for vice president, despite the enthusiasm she showed Walz in the days after he was suddenly announced. Many observers speculated that the Democrats’ No. 2 slot became a contest between Walz and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who Harris aides feared would provoke a backlash among pro-Palestinian progressive activists because he is Jewish. But in “107 Days,” the former vice president writes...

Over the past several days, wild rumors about President Trump’s supposed demise swept across social media, with leftist commentators openly salivating at the thought. The frenzy had a simple spark: Trump hadn’t appeared in public for a few days, and that absence was enough to send the online left into a rapture. ... Behind all the noise, it’s important to note one thing: Donald Trump remained present and active. The president appeared on Saturday morning as he left the White House for a round of golf in Sterling, Va., accompanied by his granddaughter, Kai. This should have ended the rumors....

On Monday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz spoke at an annual picnic in Duluth, which focused on organized labor. But he set the Internet ablaze by issuing a comment on the crazy rumors. A gloating Walz essentially told the audience to remain hopeful that Trump would soon die and their dreams would be fulfilled. Was he pandering to the crowd, or is something more nefarious at work? “You get up in the morning and you scroll through things…Although the last few days, you woke up thinking there might be news,” Walz said to laughter. “I’m just saying there will be news...

Kamala Harris settled on picking Tim Walz to be her running mate last year because she felt Americans were too racist, antisemitic and homophobic to accept her preferred option – Pete Buttigieg. In an excerpt from the former vice president’s forthcoming book, “107 Days,” obtained by The Atlantic magazine, Harris describes Buttigieg as her “first choice” but later deemed the openly gay former transportation secretary to be “too big of a risk” on the ticket. Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner —if I were a straight white man,” Harris wrote. “But we were already asking a lot of America:...

...A large swath of Democrats in Minnesota are demanding action after a recent DFL Feminist Caucus meeting reportedly saw “repeated misgendering,” disapproving eyerolls, and suggestions that some attendees “do not understand the feminist movement.” Those allegations were issued in a letter signed by more than 1,200 Democrats including state legislators, city councilors, and DFL party officials...

Fans of the Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth were furious at her publicly grieving the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk in Utah on Wednesday. The 57-year-old actress - who originated the role of Glinda on stage in Wicked - mourned Kirk's death on Wednesday on an Instagram comment on the final video he posted before he was shot in the neck by a gunman from the roof of a nearby building at Utah Valley University. The shooter is still at large as FBI Director Kash Patel traveled to Utah on Thursday amid criticism for the bureau's inability to quickly apprehend...

“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) went on a cruel rant about murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk, scoffing at the notion that his core mission was to have a civil debate on politics. “There are a lot of people who are talking about him [Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate,” Omar sneered to progressive outlet Zeteo. “These people are full of s— and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness” Omar groused that the TurningPoint USA founder downplayed George Floyd and opposed Juneteenth. “There is nothing more f—ed up than to pretend...

And of all the people in the White House, I was in the worst position to make the case that he should drop out. I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving if I advised him not to run. He would see it as naked ambition, perhaps as poisonous disloyalty, even if my only message was: Don’t let the other guy win. “It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.” We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized. Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris says that Democrats made a mistake and it was "recklessness" to allow President Joe Biden to make the decision alone on running for reelection, saying the choice should not have been "left to an individual’s ego.” In an excerpt from her forthcoming book, "107 Days," published in The Atlantic Wednesday morning, Harris, in a remarkable turnaround, said "as loyal as I am to President Biden, I am more loyal to my country," and lamented her time in Biden’s administration, saying "getting anything positive said about my work or any defense against untrue attacks was almost...

(DCNF)—U.S. job growth in the year through March was much weaker than previously reported, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revisions released on Tuesday. The U.S. economy likely added 911,000 fewer jobs in the year ending in March — or an average of almost 76,000 fewer each month — according to the BLS’ preliminary benchmark revision. The report comes after job growth slowed in August, with the U.S. economy adding just 22,000 nonfarm payroll jobs, according to data released Friday by BLS. ADVERTISEMENT The jobs report revisions were even worse than the downward adjustment of 700,000 that was previously...

For all of New York Times chief economics correspondent Ben Casselman’s fussbudgeting over President Donald Trump supposedly compromising the reliability of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a new report pointing to gross BLS ineptitude just made him look like a complete idiot. The Bidenomics simp Casselman was forced to report that the BLS overestimated jobs growth during the Biden era — AGAIN — this time by nearly 1 million (-911,000) in the 12-month period ending March 2025, the largest revision on record. Casselman conceded that it was the “latest sign that the labor market, until recently a bright spot in...

New polling released by NBC has revealed some eye-opening statistics about the gender and political divides of Generation Z. While ranking over a dozen options of scenarios on their importance to an individual's definition of personal success, male Donald Trump voters selected having children to be the most important, and female Kamala Harris voters ranked child-rearing as least important. Only six percent of female Harris voters thought that having children was most important to them, while 34 percent of male Trump supporters said the same. For female Trump supporters, having children landed in the middle of the list, being important...
