Lindell, like former President Donald Trump, is a key promoter of the conspiracy theory that the last presidential election was “rigged” or “stolen” in favor of President Joe Biden. The allegation has not been substantiated by evidence, and election experts as well as cybersecurity professionals have consistently debunked the claims. During a Friday episode of right-wing political strategist Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Lindell claimed that Heartland Financial and Minnesota Bank and Trust are attempting to “de-bank” him over concerns that they could face fallout related to having him as a client....

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released on Sunday gave Harris a slight edge over Pence, with a positivity rating of 40 percent to the vice president’s 36.

Miko has been a topic of conversation ever since the Dolphins released Brent this offseason.

(I can’t say I’m surprised, because I’m a big NEWSWEEK fan.) Your article was very well done–both fair and thorough....

The expulsion means the Democrat won’t have access to DFL legislative staff or resources and will be stripped of his committee assignments. However, he will remain a state representative, as it would take a vote of the entire House to remove him, and retain salary and benefits unless he resigns or is expelled from the Legislature.
