Today’s charges send a message to those who would disrupt our elections through deceit at polling places: It’s your constitutional right to make any political point you want, but don’t break our laws to do it.

New low for the Demuth camp. They put out an op-ed by Rep. Dawn Gillman in a futile attempt to discredit Nicole Smith-Holt about INSULIN affordability. Who do you trust more- Nicole Smith-Holt, or a state rep who wasn't even in the legislature when Alec's Law was passed?

Far from the independent polling we have been seeing thus far. But if these races are breaking hard the DFL’s direction, the State Legislature results could be a nightmare for the GOP. (Also note this is the last 4-year term for the State Senate until the 2032 election as 2030 will be a 2-year term)

Documents show how the National Cattlemen’s Association launched a long-term misinformation campaign to downplay livestock’s environmental impacts.

Witkoff tried to convince Budanov of how rich he could be if he sold out his country by allowing Russian pipelines to again flow through Ukraine. Budanov ended the meeting.
Content of Tense Conversation Between Budanov and Trump's Team Revealed
Negotiations between the Ukrainian delegation and Donald Trump's special envoys in Miami, as reported by Le Monde, escalated into a conflict. According to the publication, during a three-hour meeting at the Shell Bay golf club, Steve Witkoff "with irritation" demanded that Kyrylo Budanov, head of Zelenskyy's office, cease strikes on Russian oil refineries.
Budanov, per Le Monde's information, "barely contained his anger" and felt that he was being "treated like a child, trying to teach him how to make money." The Americans presented an ambitious plan for postwar "regional prosperity," which envisioned resuming the transit of Russian oil and gas to Europe through Ukraine, with dividends paid to Kyiv.
Budanov was outraged that such a deal would tie Ukraine to Moscow, after which the negotiations broke off. When the meeting resumed, the Americans proposed accepting a deal for supplies of Russian diesel to the United States.
The publication's sources noted that they had never seen Ukrainians "so upset and alarmed." Zelenskyy's entourage described the situation as "hopeless," since Trump's envoys "think only about business."

It’s dangerous and unlawful for Pres. Trump’s State Dept. to use political donations and voting history as criteria for promotions. Our Foreign Service Officers are public servants and diplomats and should be promoted based on their abilities, not loyalty to any president.

Look, the simple truth is that on November 3rd, the Republican Party needs to be punished. The Republican Party needs to be punished BIG TIME for continuing to embrace a sociopathic madman who is a traitor to, and an enemy of, America.
VOTE.

Jesse Ventura: “What happened in Minneapolis with ICE, they’re the Gestapo. This election is the most important election maybe in my lifetime. We have a party, the Republicans, who do not honor the Constitution. You don’t just go to war unconstitutionally. You don’t attack the Capitol, January 6th, and upend the change of power of the Constitution. I view Republicans today as fascist and anti-Constitution”

Andy Beshear: I've got soybean farmers. 100% of them voted for Trump. They lost their first client in USAID. Linda McMahon canceled the farm-to-cafeteria program. Trump's tariff pushed China away. All of your farm machinery runs on diesel. And finally, a third of the world's fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz. They are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy.
