🚨NEW POLL: Most Americans Believe Trump Launched Iran War to Cover Up Epstein Scandal

An exclusive Drop Site/Zeteo/Data For Progress survey also finds likely American voters are split on whether Trump is more responsive to the American people or to Israel.

Dumbest news of the week so far, and that’s saying something

Not really breaking any news here.

Thanks to Trump's attacks on federal research funding, the National Cancer Institute hasn't made a single grant this fiscal year.

Just last month, Trump issued an EO to increase production of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer.

MN fraud response: Gov. Walz announces major plan to centralize, modernize DHS Gov. Walz announced a massive plan Tuesday to overhaul Minnesota's Dept. of Human Services to combat Medicaid fraud. See his plan here.

Minnesota ranks as a top state to live because of the services we provide to make life easier for families.

But we need to strengthen program integrity and meet today’s challenges. I’m proposing a major overhaul to the way we deliver those services.

After detainments and deportations, the lives left behind in Minnesota From abandoned possessions to unpaid rent, many Minnesotans had to lean on family, friends and community organizations for help with their unfinished business.

Given the scale and speed of detentions and deportations during the past few months, it’s often a scramble to figure out where someone is being held, much less how to contact their landlord or renew their vehicle tabs.

Gov. Tim Walz says he’ll play active role in midterms as he mulls his political future Walz said he’ll travel the country during this year’s election to campaign for Democratic governor candidates.

With 36 gubernatorial races on the ballot, Walz said he expects to travel the country after Minnesota’s legislative session ends in May, raising money and campaigning for Democratic candidates.

Survey: Minnesota winter tourism hurt by ICE, Trump's tariff feuds An Explore Minnesota survey shows cancellations, fewer visitors and lingering fear and uncertainty tied to federal immigration enforcement.

One in five businesses surveyed by Explore Minnesota said they had canceled, postponed or reduced the size of an event this winter because of federal actions. www.minnpost.com/economy/2026...

The grift goes on… and on..

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

"In his second term, Trump knew exactly what he wanted and who could give it to him. In many cases, that meant not just a weak choice but literally the worst possible choice, the person guaranteed to do maximal harm. In short, we have never seen quite this collection of clowns, cranks, and crooks."

Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say The White House said President Donald Trump is not ruling out any options in the war with Iran, including the possibility of ground troops. About 140 US service members have been injured since the beg...

NEW: Iran has begun laying mines in the strait of Hormuz. Would Trump like to send Brain Kilmeade to "show some guts" and captain a tanker through there now? www.cnn.com/world/live-n...

The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.

I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...

...maybe there wasn't much planning?

The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Damn… I won’t let you!

Money doesn’t buy class… or dignity…

Money doesn’t buy class…

Quick reminder: Epstein.

For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.

In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.

The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.

✔️ Fact Check: TRUE

Brilliant 👏👏👏

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:
