This Minnesota county is on the verge of losing its only child care center
Officials in the town of Slayton worry about a lack of day care affecting the local workforce and economy. Itβs a stark example of a crisis playing out across rural Minnesota.
For decades, Rural MN has voted Republican.
At the same time, the following things:
Rural health care
Rural public schools
Rural housing
Rural employment
Rural Day Care options
Have become FAR WORSE THAN THEY WERE!!!
You keep voting for this... www.startribune.com/minnesota-co...

Statement from DNC Chair Ken Martin
The state under Donald Trump has amassed a chilling record of restricting speech, extorting private companies, and dropping the full weight of the government censorship hammer on First Amendment rights.
This is no exaggeration. Trumpβs attorney general has directly confirmed that theyβll come after you for your speech, and now his FCC chair has doubled down.
Itβs not the bully pulpit anymore β itβs the thought police presidency.

ICE arrests several roofers in Duluthβs Lakeside neighborhood
According to a witness, the people who were arrested were working on a roofing project at the time.
Alright White Guys who demanded the undocumented immigrants be removed. NOW you have your wish. Get up there and start roofing in Duluth in WINTER!
You demanded this job, so unless they are immediately filled, all your bellowing was only about racism. www.northernnewsnow.com/2025/02/27/i...

Banks Approve of Republicans Increasing Bank Fees
A Biden-era CFPB rule limiting overdraft fees is under challenge, and lawmakers used bank lobbyists for their testimonials.
At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees.
The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually.
The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Are you one of the 65% of tax filers that get a nice refund check every spring when you file your taxes?
Well, bad news.
Trump plans to eliminate income taxes and instead tax you at 23% on everything you buy.
Thatβs a big tax hike on working Americans.
