You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

RFK Jr. has said previous dietary guidelines were untrustworthy because advisers had ties to food-industry groups. But so do several advisers on his dietary guidelines — just different parts of the industry, including red meat and dairy.

Top Aide to Rep. Mike Collins Was Reimbursed for More Than $170,000 in Office Expenses
Most of the money that was reimbursed went to franking -- which is permissible under House rules. But Brandon Phillips' travel reimbursements are already the subject of an Office of Congressional Conduct report.
