Opinion | This Is Why America Needs Public Media

Public media plays a vital role in our society, from warning people in rural areas about natural disasters to teaching generations of children how to read and count with Sesame Street.

We can't cut funds for local TV and radio in retaliation for their perceived ideological leanings.

BREAKING: The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled the state's shield law protects journalists from being forced to reveal news-gathering materials, even when they are alleged to have trespassed while reporting. The case stems from the 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

This is a win for press freedom.

A win! The Senate has agreed to restore roughly $400 million in funding for PEPFAR, the landmark HIV/AIDS program launched under President Bush that’s credited with saving millions of lives around the world. Keep speaking up, it makes a difference.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Tl;dr: 250,000 more Minnesotans at risk of devastating medical bills, higher energy prices, rural hospital closures, and longer ambulance wait times.

None of this is worth a tax cut for billionaires. Congress needs to reject this bill.

Detained immigrant's pregnancy fails while in ICE custody - Nashville Banner ICE's treatment of undocumented immigrants raises concerns as a woman's experience highlights what she described as inadequate medical care while in detention.

A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care.

She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor.

This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

To the idiots whining that Zohran Mamdani lacks experience: you voted for a convicted felon over an experienced, intelligent woman last year. The hypocrisy is staggering. At least Mamdani is sane. Your cult leader is unhinged. Your bigotry is showing. Shut up.

It’s sad that we even have people considering voting for a sexual predator who is funded by billionaires over someone like Zohran Mamdani, a grassroots organizer who wants to serve the people.

There are so many great choices out there that aren’t Cuomo.

Zohran is just one of them.

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

Three years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned our constitutional right to abortion care nationwide.

No matter what, we're committed to fighting for reproductive rights, regardless of where we live.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

The blowup between Elon and Trump hasn’t ended DOGE, it’s still expanding. Russ Vought now plans to institutionalize DOGE across the federal government, and Elon’s staffers are embedded deep within key agencies.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Mayor Baraka was ARRESTED for doing what Republicans claim to care about: OVERSIGHT.

Like the true leaders they are, Rep. Coleman, @replamonica.bsky.social, & @menendez.house.gov were right there with him.

The Trump admin keeps weaponizing power against anyone who dares hold them accountable.

Let me let you in on a little secret: The GOP is trying to sneak Trump’s policy wish list, aka his “One Big Beautiful Bill,” into law through a budget gimmick.

Mohsen Mahdawi was released on bail today from his illegal detention at the hands of the Trump administration. Good.

In America, you are not supposed to end up in a jail cell for expressing your opinion.

This is a major step forward in the fight against authoritarianism.
