John Cornyn, while Allred dropped his Senate campaign to instead run for a seat in the House of Representatives shortly before Crockett announced her statewide bid. The podcaster, who goes by Morgan, claimed Talarico complained about having to face Crockett in the primary. “James Talarico told me

I run a fast casual chicken restaurant in Richfield, Minnesota, a suburb just south of Minneapolis. With ICE agents in the area, I don't know when — or if — staff will be able to come to work. We all have pretty set schedules, and we're tight-knit. There are only six of us operating this place, seven days a week. And I have concerns: Are my employees going to get stopped on their way to work? Are they going to be hassled or detained? Are they going to come back? It's a day-by-day thing. Over the past couple of weeks, we've adjusted
Plans have been launched to protest at Target stores across the country this weekend to demand the Minneapolis-based retailer takes a firm stand against federal immigration enforcement. Organizers are staging anti-ICE protests in at least nine Twin Cities locations on Saturday, including the Richfield store where two Target employees who are U.S. citizens were detained earlier this month. Local nonprofits ISAIAH and Unidos MN are leading the effort, which they say is a call for ICE to leave Minnesota and for justice following the January killings of Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal agents. Target still hasn't
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Wednesday that his time as an elected official will permanently end when he finishes his term as governor. “I will never run for an elected office again. Never again,” Walz, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, said in an interview with MS NOW. Walz had said this month that he would not seek re-election as governor — sending shock waves through state and national politics — but he did not go so far as to say he would not consider another elected position down the line. In explaining his decision Wednesday, Walz talked about the
One week after more than 10,000 people marched through the streets of downtown Minneapolis to the Target Center for a rally to demand ICE operations cease in Minnesota, a second "National Day of Action" is planned to compel people to avoid shopping, school and work in solidarity after the shooting of Alex Pretti one day after the first march. National Day of Action What we know:
A "National Days of Action in Solidarity" with Minnesota has been planned for both Jan. 30 and 31. On Friday, those who are participating are encouraged not to attend work or school, while

'Feels Real Now' After Final Date Was Announced 17 replies
The end of The Late Show is only four months away, and it's just now starting to "feel real" for host Stephen Colbert. In his Tuesday, Jan. 27, appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Colbert, 61, reflected on the forthcoming end of his own late-night talk show, air its last episode in May after 10 seasons. "It feels real now," Colbert told Seth Meyers, as seen in a clip published on Instagram before the episode airs. "It did not feel... I mean, I know it was real, but now, there's four months left." Colbert explained to Meyers that
Dozens of agitators packed the Minnesota Capitol on Tuesday, their chants echoing through the halls as tension over federal immigration enforcement boiled into a standoff just feet from Gov. Tim Walz’s office. The protest comes amid a broader wave of demonstrations following recent fatal encounters involving federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, with activists calling for accountability and changes to enforcement policies. On Tuesday afternoon, around 200 agitators gathered outside Walz’s office inside the Capitol building, shouting, "ICE out now!" and "Do your job!" Before the demonstration, organizers said they planned to slowly march toward the governor’s doors, a move that
A Minnesota sports radio personality is apologizing after he called into question the intentions of ICE protestors in Minneapolis. Paul Allen, the voice of the Minnesota Vikings football team, issued a statement on Monday, Jan. 26 following his on-air comments Friday in which he discussed the inclement weather set to hit the area, and wondered how it would affect the city’s ongoing ICE protests. "I made a comment on Friday about protesters and the weather that was insensitive and poorly timed, and I'm sorry," Allen, 60, said in a prepared statement. "It was a misguided attempt at humor and while
A mob of protesters smashed and crashed their way into a Minneapolis hotel on Sunday night as the city continued to be roiled by mob violence aimed at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Some at the scene alleged that Minneapolis police were slow in responding. The hotel’s windows were smashed and anti-ICE graffiti was painted onto windows because protesters believed federal agents were staying at the Home2 Suites by Hilton Hotel, according to the New York Post. (Snip) Although protesters were told there were only local personnel in the hotel, they used drums, strobe lights, and anything else they had
The Colorado parents of a man killed Saturday morning by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis said they told their son recently to be careful when protesting. Family members say Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, was an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in his city. He had participated in protests following the killing of Renee Good, who was originally from Colorado, by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer on Jan. 7. His parents, who live in Colorado, urged him to

The British countryside is in the midst of a diversity drive after a government-commissioned report found it was too 'white' and 'middle-class'. Officials charged with managing some of the country's best known beauty spots have laid out a series of proposals aimed at attracting minorities. In the wake of the report, officials representing National Landscapes - including the Cotswolds and Chilterns - have now published a series of management plans that detail their proposals to attract more minority communities. The Chiltern National Landscape will launch an outreach programme in Luton and High Wycombe targeted at Muslims.
Democrats in the Washington state legislature are pushing a proposal that establishes a list of demographic groups that are presumed to be “socially disadvantaged” for the purposes of state business certification. Based on the breadth of those categories, roughly 70 percent of Washington state residents would fall under the bill’s definition of “socially disadvantaged.” Under existing statute, the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE) defines a “socially disadvantaged individual” as someone who has experienced racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within American society due to group identity, stemming from circumstances beyond the individual’s control. The agency may also determine social disadvantage on a case-by-case basis.
I'm Just two years ago, Mary Barra, chief executive of General Motors, declared: “We believe in an all-electric future.” She went on to claim that the challenges her company was facing in the EV market were merely temporary bumps on the road to net zero. But as Bob Dylan famously observed, things have changed. On Jan. 8, GM announced it would take a $7.1 billion hit in charges against its earnings, of which $6 billion is due to Barra’s failed EV strategy. In a filing with the SEC, the company also warned that it would take more write-downs this year as part of a “strategic realignment of EV capacity.”

A 2020 election scandal in Fulton County, Georgia's most populous county, continues to grow with new derails revealed in a State Election Board (SEB) meeting last Wednesday -- and now, a week later, with an FBI raid seeking election documents from the county. (snip) When a ballot scanner is used to count ballots, election officials must start the process by printing and signing a "zero tape," which confirms the count started at zero. (snip) [S]tate investigators were unable to find any ["zero tapes"] from Fulton County's early voting period in the 2020 general election, SEB member Jan Johnson said during the board meeting.
Donald Trump threatened Monday to begin legal action against “loser” Trevor Noah after the comedian said the president visited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s island and needs it again to “hang out” with Bill Clinton. The South African provided no evidence for the allegation which has been dismissed outright as a lie and fabrication by Trump.
After congratulating Billie Eilish for winning the Grammy for Song of the Year for her track “Wildflower,” host Noah brought up his Trump and Epstein allegation.
“Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” he quipped, referring to the president’s efforts regarding the Arctic territory.
Maine Democrats have been calling for over a year for the release of more files related to the infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but the disclosures may have caused some collateral damage for Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, candidate for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination. The sensational allegations against Gov. Mills surfaced Friday in a trove of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice as a part of its ongoing disclosure of materials related to the investigation into Epstein's sex-trafficking and espionage ring. (snip) An anonymous tipster alleges that Mills was "instrumental" in covering up child sexual abuse and was "credibly named" in cocaine trafficking.
The Abigail Spanberger Bait-and-Switch
17 replies
During the 2025 gubernatorial election the voters of Virginia believed they were choosing between pragmatic Democrat Rep. Abigail Spanberger and lackluster Republican Lieutenant Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. The former was well funded and portrayed favorably by the corporate “news” media as a centrist, while the latter struggled to raise money and was labeled an extremist because of her strong support of gun rights. Spanberger won by double digits and most Virginians thought they were getting a slightly more liberal governor than her predecessor, Glenn Youngkin. Yet the moment she took office, it became obvious that Gov. Spanberger was no moderate.
In a brief video clip that resurfaced on Saturday and quickly went viral, Boston’s far-left Mayor Michelle Wu summed up what no doubt many of her fellow leftists take to be axiomatically true. If it even came close to being implemented, it would destroy the United States utterly, but after all, what do leftists care about preserving what they think of as a racist, imperialist entity existing on stolen land? And so as far as they’re concerned, the destruction of the nation wouldn’t be a bug, but a feature.

Washington — Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, ahead of expected votes in the House later this week on holding the pair in contempt of Congress.
In an email to the committee on Monday, the Clintons' legal team said the former president and former secretary of state "accept the terms of your letter and will appear for depositions on mutually agreeable dates." [snip] Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, who chairs the oversight panel, said[snip]"The Clintons' counsel has said they agree to terms, but those terms lack clarity yet again and they have provided no dates for their depositions.
The Trump administration has quietly decided to allow employers to import 65,000 extra H-2B visa migrants for jobs that would otherwise pay decent wages to ordinary American who vote in the midterm elections. The visa giveaway is part of President Trump’s zig-zagging between the two sides of his coalition — the voters he needs on election day, and the business donors who provide the funds for political campaigns. Meanwhile, the national media is ignoring the visa giveaway to business because it is focused on the left-wing street groups who are trying to block the deportation of criminal and wage-cutting illegal migrants from Minneapolis.
The professional networking company LinkedIn removed a conservative organization’s post that encouraged states to cooperate with federal immigration authorities on Wednesday, later saying it did so in “error.” The company initially claimed the post constituted “hateful speech.”
In its post from earlier this week, the State Freedom Caucus Network (SCFN) underscored the “essential” work the Department of Homeland Security is doing in removing the millions of illegal aliens the Biden administration allowed into the United States. The group further noted the importance of states working alongside ICE and Customs and Border Protection officials to remove such individuals — including unlawfully present criminals — from America’s streets.
Last year, more people moved out of Colorado to other states than vice versa. Interstate “net migration” was negative.
After factoring in births, the state’s overall population increased less than half a percent. That’s the lowest since the oil and gas bust of 1989 nearly a half century ago.
These figures put Colorado in the bottom half of population growth. We’re 29th of the 50 states. Neighboring Utah grew at the fifth-highest rate, so Colorado can’t blame it on the demise of the carbon-spewing, environment-wrecking, injury-causing, traffic-jamming ski industry which is mired in a record snow drought.
