A left-wing podcaster accused Democratic Texas State Rep. James Talarico of calling former Democratic Rep. Colin Allred a “mediocre black man” in a video posted to TikTok Sunday. Talarico is running against Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat currently held by Republican Texas Sen. 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

MINNEAPOLIS — The NBA game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors was postponed on Saturday afternoon following another fatal shooting by a federal officer in Minneapolis. The game was rescheduled for Sunday afternoon. The Timberwolves and Warriors are also scheduled to play on Monday night. The league announced the decision was made to “prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community” after 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed in a confrontation with officers on a street in a commercial district less than two miles from Target Center, the downtown arena where the Timberwolves play.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson continues to dismay. Her attendance at the rancidly partisan anti-ICE Grammy Awards on Sunday was a joke. The 55-year-old Biden DEI candidate was nominated for a Grammy for narrating the audiobook of her memoir “Lovely One,” which she unashamedly believes herself to be.
California’s already sky-high gas prices are expected to surge after Valero abruptly shuttered its Benicia refinery amid a spiraling “oil crisis,” a new report claims.
The Benicia refinery began shutting down on Saturday, four months earlier than planned, a former Valero manager told the California Globe Tuesday. Thermal imaging showed the facility went cold as the Crimson Pipeline – which transports crude oil from Southern to Northern California – was also taken offline.
“We are in an unprecedented oil crisis,” oil expert Mike Ariza told the publication.
Valero Energy Corp. announced its plans last spring to pull the plug on its 145,000-barrel-per-day refinery by April,

Former Vice President Mike Pence really wants you to think he is a principled man. He really goes on and on about how he, seemingly alone, stands for those bedrock conservative values that made this country great. His foundation, Advancing American Freedom, even boasts “The Conservative Movement Lives Here.”
He’s a constitutional conservative to his core. Until he isn’t.Let’s take election reform. The SAVE Act, the main provision of which is so overwhelmingly popular with normal Americans that it’s only natural that the denizens of the Washington swamp oppose it with near-religious fervor, has stalled in the Senate. The bill would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require
Hillary Clinton attacked House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Thursday as she pushed for a public hearing after she and her husband agreed to testify before the committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “If you want this fight,” she told Comer, “Let’s have it — in public.”
Former President Bill Clinton and his wife are set to testify on their relationship with the disgraced financier before the House Oversight Committee later this month. The plan was put in place after Comer rejected requests for a closed-door deposition and written testimony.
On Thursday, the former Secretary of State accused Comer of “moving the goalposts,”

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has made a move to secure the deliberations, private discussions, and working drafts of the court. According to the New York Times, Roberts is requiring all clerks and permanent staff to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The writer writes about this in a hushed tone, as though she is laying out the plot of a murder mystery. But there is nothing mysterious about the erosion of the court's integrity, which points directly to publications like the NYT and POLITICO happily disseminating what is leaked to them. The chief justice acted after a series of unusual leaks
A rural Illinois bar owner was gunned down by a convicted murderer in an “execution-style” shooting shortly before opening her business for the day Monday.
Courtney Drysdale, 30, was fatally shot by suspected gunman Julius E. Burkes Jr. just after 11 a.m. as she was going about her normal routine, according to the Kankakee County Sheriff’s Office.{snip] Burkes has multiple arrests in previous years, including for battery and alleged stalking.
In 1994, when he was 15, Burkes pleaded guilty to two counts of murder stemming from a killing near Chicago, the outlet reported.
He was sentenced to 37 years in prison but served less than half that, according to the outlet.
Armenian-speakers in Los Angeles County utilize California's In-Home Supportive Services program at a rate roughly 700% higher than their proportion of the county's population, an analysis by The Center Square found -- renewing attention to potential fraud concerns in the community amid the ongoing public dispute between CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and Gov. Gavin Newsom. A top fraud expert said that The Center Square's data analysis likely reveals organized fraud networks are operating in Los Angeles County's Armenian-speaking community -- with participants allegedly getting kickbacks and funneling large amounts of cash out of the country through cash-based hawala networks.
An in-depth investigation by City Journal is raising questions about whether a Minneapolis-based anti-ICE network is pushing civilians into dangerous confrontations with federal immigration agents after the shooting deaths of two activists in less than a month. (snip) According to City Journal, one group sits at the center of Minneapolis' anti-ICE movement: Defend the 612. The organization oversees a large network of Signal chats that monitor immigration enforcement, coordinate protests, and mobilize rapid-response actions across Minneapolis neighborhoods. (snip) [City Journal's] investigation found that members and "related officials have encouraged protesters to impede law enforcement; pushed civilians toward legally and physically risky confrontations; and helped mobilize a counter-protest that turned violent."

Ever since the 2020 fiasco, Americans have been told to stop asking questions about elections.(snip) If you ask for clarity or an investigation, it’s treated like some kind of traitorous sabotage. And yet, the doubts haven’t gone away. In fact, they’ve only grown since 2020, and nowadays, talking about it is encouraged.President Trump has been openly signaling that major developments related to the 2020 election are coming, particularly out of Georgia. (snip)Sen. Tommy Tuberville is claiming that six current members of Congress did not actually win their elections. And he’s not talking about candidates or “former” officials. These are sitting lawmakers, right here, right now.
With nothing else to run on, Democrats appear to think that demonizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers will be enough to win them control of Congress come November.
“In their campaigns, Democrats across the country are responding to the anger felt by many communities over the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations,” reports CBS News. If they can sustain today’s anger, the argument goes, voters will turn out in droves to clip the Trump administration’s wings in his last two years in office.
But there are a multitude of reasons why this strategy isn’t likely to work.
First, November is a long way off.
When your enemy is down, that's a really good time to kick him in the head. And right now, the Iranian mullahs are down. Israel took out their air and cyber defense systems. We took out their nuke program. Their economy is collapsing thanks to President Trump's sanctions; there are no more pallets of cash coming with a nice note from Ben Rhodes. The Persian people are rising up. All our forces are finally in place. It's time to kick them in the head.
Let's take these bastards out of the picture for good – and hopefully, as you read this, that's what is happening.We can't let this opportunity slip away.
Traditionally, New York City mayors are supposed to visit injured police officers in the hospital, but Mamdani being such a historical figure is instead visiting a man who tried to stab a police officer in the hospital.
Video shows Jabez Chakraborty lunging with a knife at police officers before an officer shoots him.
Mamdani visited the attempted stabber in the hospital using him as the poster stabber for his police defunding campaign.
“This situation underscores just how urgently we need a different and more effective mental health response system,” Mamdani argued. “Jabez needs mental health treatment, not criminal prosecution by a district attorney.”
