A judge just said the Trump administration likely ran unconstitutional immigration policies in Minnesota… then let them keep going. That’s the madness: government breaks the law, court spots it, public pays for the privilege.

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.

Trump is letting huge corporations that suck up to him evade antitrust enforcement.

State attorneys general should fight back by filing their own lawsuits to break up Live Nation/Ticketmaster and block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros.

Enough of Trump's oligarchy.

(Guardian) β€” Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure.

Facebook and Instagram just bought Moltbook. It’s a social network where people watch bots interact with other bots. In other words, it’s Twitter.

WATCH β€” @jamestalarico.bsky.social : β€œEvery dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”

This is absolutely maddening.

We β€œcan’t afford” Medicaid, to help children with food insecurities or fund education but we can waste millions on these buffoons and their lavish lifestyles.

$25 mil on Surf and Turf for Kegseth
$200 mil for Kristi Noem’s mile-high-club.

The Broligarchy's First World War? AI-guided weapons, two out-of-control authoritarians, no legal authority and a toxic mess of masculinity: welcome to the manosphere's first major conflict

NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal.

At Donald's behest, the United States of America is committing crimes against humanity.

And the Republican Party is doing nothing to stop him.

Trump Puts Noem Down Like a Dog Her tenureβ€”with its illegal deportations, immigrant pain, and killings of U.S. citizensβ€”ends this month.

While Noem’s tenure is coming to an end March 31, it doesn’t mean she’s out of future possible legal trouble. With the midterm environment looking good for Democrats, a Democratic-led House would likely investigate her tenure next year.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.

SCHIFF: Are you saying it's just fortuitous that $143m went to a subcontractor that you worked w/ extensively as gov of SD?

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.
