DFW Airport is moving forward with Islamic foot-washing stations inside Terminal D bathrooms, and the details are out. The privately funded project registers at around $300,000 and puts dedicated Wudu ablution stations in both the men's and women's concourse restrooms. Officials say it's about keeping floors dry and sinks intact after travelers wash their feet in regular fixtures. Completion is targeted for the end of the year. Terminal D handles the bulk of international traffic. Similar stations already exist at places like Chicago O'Hare and Houston Bush, and DFW has had limited ablution facilities near its interfaith chapel for years. This expands the practice into the main restrooms. The filing calls it basic infrastructure for safety and sanitation. Plenty of Americans are asking a different question: why special plumbing for one ritual while every other traveler just uses the sinks? This isn't about private funding or wet floors alone. It's about what airports decide is worth accommodating in the middle of Texas. Watch the full conversation for the filing details, the practical defense, the cultural signal, and the commonsense pushback. Pat also covered: JD Vance calls out socialism and the fraud epidemic running through America Did Stacey Abrams fall asleep while interviewing Kamala Harris? James Talarico's girlfriend is real — and we have the footage Savannah Guthrie body-shames Chrissy Metz on national television Rosie O'Donnell deadnames her own daughter five times in one interview Would you use a special foot-washing station at the airport if it was there?

KSTP TV released new polling numbers on Tuesday. Rection to the "Snapshot In Time" from Blois Olson and Vineeta Sawkar on The WCCO Morning News.

Don't underestimate either candidate in the race for Governor. Find out more from Blois Olson on The WCCO Morning News!

Alex Plechash is the Chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota. He talked primary results and what lies ahead the next few months for candidates in a wide ranging interview on the WCCO Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the pseudo-conservative, Woke Reich isolationist, and national-conservative voices are undermining the president, abandoning traditional Reaganite principles, and pushing for greater government intervention.  We have an alarming near-$50 trillion on-budget debt (with true obligations including Social Security, Medicare, and pensions closer to $300–350 trillion against an economy producing only about $20 trillion annually). Such demands for more government play into Democrats' hands, and principles are needed most when confronting economic and security threats. The proper path is growth and wealth creation through freer markets, competition, and smarter regulation rather than new programs; critics should present concrete plans if they have any. Election success ultimately depends on doing what is necessary, such as the president's decisive action to prevent the Iranian regime from obtaining nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles which deserves immediate credit. Later, the Vice President has argued that free-market advocates should stop invoking the market system and instead develop a plan to help younger people avoid socialism. Traditional Reaganite and Friedman-style conservatives who back the President's tax and regulatory policies are questioning these remarks. With nearly a $50 trillion on-budget debt the real problem is too much government, not more of it, and that debate belongs in the primaries.  Finally, Michele Tafoya, Minnesota Senate candidate, calls in and argues that Minnesota has been racing in the wrong direction under single-party Democrat rule, with Peggy Flanagan serving as lieutenant governor under Tim Walz for two terms during which the state became a national embarrassment. Drawing on her experience as an early WNBA play-by-play announcer who watched the league grow through women's pure skill and athleticism, she criticized the idea that biological men should compete in women's sports, noting that exclusion is fundamental to athletics and that giving roster spots to biological males simply excludes actual women in an absurd, Alice-in-Wonderland distortion.

In this episode of We're Still Here, John welcomes back the insightful duo of Simon Moya Smith, an Oglala Lakota and Chicano journalist, and Julie Francella, a seasoned mental health professional specializing in Indigenous youth and families. Together, they dive into the recent political triumph of Peggy Flanagan, who has secured the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. They discuss the significance of her potential historic win as the first Native woman in the Senate and the broader implications for Indigenous representation in U.S. politics.Simon and Julie reflect on the importance of Indigenous values in governance, emphasizing the need for more Indigenous voices in leadership roles. They explore the ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous communities, particularly in relation to the construction of the border wall by federal contractors on sacred lands. The conversation highlights the tension between tribal sovereignty and federal authority, illustrating how these issues impact Indigenous peoples and their rights to their ancestral lands.As the discussion unfolds, they tackle cultural appropriation in the context of the Miss Universe Canada pageant, where contestant Ashley Colling Bull boldly confronted the pageant officials over inappropriate representations of Indigenous culture. The trio emphasizes the difference between cultural appreciation and appropriation, advocating for respectful representation and the need for Indigenous voices in all narratives surrounding their cultures.Listeners are invited to engage in this enlightening conversation, as John, Simon, and Julie take calls from the audience, addressing everything from Indigenous languages to personal experiences with nature and spirituality. This episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience of Indigenous communities and the importance of representation in all aspects of society.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The stunning momentum of the insurgent left hit a roadblock this week when democratic socialist Francesca Hong narrowly lost her primary race for Wisconsin governor to Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, a moderate who garnered significant support from establishment Democrats. “The collective power of that Democratic establishment in a state, where there is a Democratic governor and there is a real Democratic Party establishment machine, all of that power was required to eke out a 0.4 percent victory in the party's own primary against a previously unknown candidate running as a Democratic socialist,” The Lever's David Sirota tells The Intercept Briefing. This week on the podcast, host Jessica Washington speaks with Sirota, founder and editor-in-chief of The Lever, about the primaries and how the left is building power within the Democratic Party. There were bright spots for progressives on Tuesday night. In Minnesota, progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan defeated AIPAC-backed Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., in the Senate primary race. Craig had previously voted for the Laken Riley Act, which requires the federal government to detain people for certain crimes, including shoplifting and burglary. Flanagan, by contrast, told supporters on election night: “We need to rip ICE apart and stop them from terrorizing our communities.” “What you're seeing now is, and I don't want to call it a Democratic Tea Party, but it is certainly organizing and pressuring to take back power in an adversarial way from a set of forces to the left of the Democratic establishment,” says Sirota. “That is what's new, and that is what's driving the political dynamic now.” Washington and Sirota also discuss the intensifying democracy crisis unfolding in the United States. According to Sirota, it “stands on two pillars: concentrated executive power and the supremacy of money.”Sirota explores this theme and more, in the new season of his show, Master Plan: The Kingmakers. The podcast is all about how a once-fringe legal theory moved into the mainstream and transformed the power of the American presidency. Full episode transcript here.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they cover Mike Rogers leading the Michigan Senate race but "college-educated" white women overwhelmingly backing Abdul El-Sayed, Minnesota Lt. Gov. and Dem Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan blaming only Gov. Tim Walz for the massive fraud in her state, New Jersey Dems spending a ridiculous amount of taxpayer dollars on a portrait, and the WNBA still failing to define a woman.First, they welcome the only encouraging poll of a key Senate race released by Fox News yesterday. Mike Rogers leads Abdul El-Sayed by four points in Michigan. White men are overwhelmingly behind Rogers, as are women who did not go to college. But "college-educated" women back El-Sayed 60-37 percent. We dig into the numbers and why that group is so much different than the others.Next, they shake their heads as Minnesota Lt. Gov. and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan says she bears no responsibility for the fraud scandal in her state because "the buck stops" with Gov. Tim Walz. She also wishes somebody would have done something about it sooner. Jim and Greg suspect voters will not be satisfied with that answer.Then, they dig into New Jersey spending $135,000 in taxpayer dollars on a portrait of former Gov. Phil Murphy. That's $50,000 more than the price tag for Gov. Chris Christie's portrait eight years ago. Jim and Greg have a simple and very cost-effective solution.Finally, they laugh as WNBA officials meet for hours to discuss who should be eligible to play in the league and they couldn't come to any conclusions.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Mike Lindell loses and won't accept it. GOP Senator Tim Scott calls a Muslim doctor "Hamas." And the GOP's Bible-thumpers can't name a verse. In this episode: Tim Scott smears Dr. El Sayed as "Hamas" — not a sympathizer. Just Hamas. Mike Lindell loses the Minnesota primary, then refuses to accept the results Democrats reclaim Christianity from Mike Johnson and Pete Hegseth — which verse, boys? Wisconsin's "the Left hit a ceiling" story is a lie — they never wanted Hong to win Troy Jackson leads Susan Collins in Maine's first real poll since the swap Kansas: Pastor Adam Hamilton sits one point behind Roger Marshall Peggy Flanagan and Matt Little crush the centrists in Minnesota Ken Martin is about to ban dark money from Democratic presidential primaries Key figures covered: Tim Scott, Mike Lindell, Mike Johnson, Pete Hegseth, Francesca Hong, David Crowley, Susan Collins, Troy Jackson, Adam Hamilton, Roger Marshall, Peggy Flanagan, Ken Martin

Moderates cannot fail, they can only be failed... progressives on the other hand. The boys dive deep into Francesca Hong's loss in the Wisconsin Democratic Gubernatorial Primary to moderate David Crowley. POLITICO thinks the progressive left has hit its ceiling but the situation surrounding Crowley's win is more complicated and offers useful lessons for a progressive movement that is expanding its electoral ambitions.

Send us Fan MailFresh off her primary win, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michele Tafoya joined Liz Collin to discuss her campaign against Democratic nominee Peggy Flanagan, the current lieutenant governor.   “We have had a crisis of leadership in this state, and it started with Tim Walz and Flanagan's been at his side the entire time,” said Tafoya.“I just couldn't watch it anymore. We've tried it their way, the way of the Democrat establishment, this single-party rule for years. We've tried it their way. And here is where we are.

Peggy Flanagan is Tim Walz's lieutenant governor and the Democrats' new Senate nominee in Minnesota — and in her first round of national interviews she threw Walz straight under the bus over the fraud scandal, saying "the buck stops with him" and "more should have been done sooner." She was then asked twice whether there should be any age limit on gender-affirming care for a ten-year-old, refused to answer, dodged whether she wants to abolish ICE, and attacked the Laken Riley Act. Her first big fundraising email claimed no Native woman has ever served in the Senate, which is news to Elizabeth Warren, and Scott Jennings summed the whole thing up on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Crowley beat Francesca Hong by half a point. Peggy Flanagan won Minnesota by 20. Same night, opposite answers about where the party is going.Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley took the Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial primary over democratic socialist state Rep. Francesca Hong in a nail biter that broke past 2 a.m. Brian had been telling anyone who would listen that Crowley was winning while prediction markets had Hong at 96 percent, and he takes the victory lap. His read on why: no AOC, no Bernie, no Warren, no signature policy that broke through, and a cancel Thanksgiving clip nobody could unsee. Glennis brings in the other variable, Megan Romer, one of the DSA's two national chairs, whose New Yorker Radio Hour sit down with David Remnick got clipped into oblivion days before Wisconsin voted. Also: five of nine Milwaukee flash drives showed up at central count carrying audit logs instead of results, and Steve Kornacki had to fill 90 minutes of live NBC air with nothing.Then the rest of the board. Peggy Flanagan beat Angie Craig by roughly 20 points in Minnesota, and Brian argues that race teaches 2028 more than Wisconsin does. Luke Bronin ended John Larson's 28 year run in Connecticut's 1st, the seventh House incumbent to lose after actually running, five of them over 70. South Carolina's special Senate primary heads to an August 25 runoff between Rep. Ralph Norman and appointed Sen. Darline Graham. Mike Lindell lost Minnesota's Republican gubernatorial primary to House Speaker Lisa Demuth and would not concede. David Crowley is your Oath Candidate of the Week, and he is starting from zero with a general election against Rep. Tom Tiffany in November.Plus AOC telling Jonathan Karl on ABC's This Week that "Woke 1 was crazy," and the real question underneath it: can somebody who was loud during Woke 1 be the 2028 nominee? Brian says the jury is out. Glennis says yes and names her candidate. Then the economy, where July CPI landed at 3.4 percent, the July jobs report came in at negative 23,000 against expectations near 85,000 with another 103,000 knocked off May and June, and workers' share of national income sits at its lowest point since tracking began in 1947. Also this week for Clickbait or Double-Click: Trump slipping off Air Force One into an airport catering truck in Ankara while the press flew the decoy, Mamdani backing Tiffany Cabán's Delivery Protection Act to force Amazon to directly employ its delivery drivers, and the New York Times piece on Flock cameras that has liberals and conservatives mad at the same thing.Then a Good Vibe Goodbye where a guy on the Brooklyn Museum steps asks Mamdani to find him a date and the mayor's office answers with a borough by borough summer guide for anyone looking for cheap and cheerful dates in NYC.UPDATE: This episode was recorded Wednesday morning, August 12, 2026, while Wisconsin votes were still being counted. Since recording, the Associated Press and Decision Desk HQ officially called the race for David Crowley, who secured the nomination with 39.8% of the vote compared to Francesca Hong's 39.4%.New episodes of Vibes Only are available for download first thing every Thursday morning!

KSTP-TV political reporter Tom Hauser reacts to this week's Primary vote results and discusses where campaigns will move now as we head for the general election in November.

Chuck Todd unpacks David Crowley's astonishing photo-finish win over Francesca Hong in Wisconsin — a race Crowley dropped out of, re-entered with Tony Evers' backing, and then won by roughly 3,200 votes — and argues national Democrats are far more relieved than they'll ever admit. Had Hong won, she'd have become a face of the party while being forced to spend the fall answering for past statements about defunding police, abolishing prisons, and canceling Thanksgiving rather than talking about the economy, handing Republicans an absurdly easy story to tell. Chuck credits Tony Evers for refusing to fence-sit and mounting what amounted to an emergency rescue operation, while noting Crowley isn't remotely "establishment" — he came from genuinely modest roots and ran a campaign largely defined by what he wasn't. Chuck identifies Hong's central unforced error as nationalizing her race in the closing weeks, a fundraising-driven instinct in an era where media appearances increasingly function as fundraising appeals, forgetting that the national online audience and the local electorate are not the same people. Mamdani stayed disciplined and won; Hong drifted into boutique cultural debates and lost. But Chuck cautions against reading this as a repudiation of the left: Peggy Flanagan won in Minnesota, progressives are doing better this cycle than they have in years, and the 2027 House will be younger and slightly further left. The real structural lesson is that progressives struggle in higher-turnout and open primaries, still face a persistent obstacle with African American primary voters, and — most tellingly — keep getting rejected by the working-class voters they orient their entire message toward, which is more than a messaging glitch. Abdul El-Sayed emerges a quiet winner here, now much harder to lump in with the DSA, and Chuck notes that neither AOC nor Bernie ever endorsed Hong. The rest of the monologue is a run of results that keep pointing the same direction. Trump-endorsed candidates keep losing primaries: Mike Lindell was trounced in Minnesota, Darline Graham didn't clear a third of the vote and is no lock in her runoff, and Chuck's read is that Trump's grip is measurably slipping. Fourteen-term Congressman John Larson lost his primary, part of the highest incumbent-loss rate since 1970 — in a genuine wave, Chuck says, the House could see north of 25% turnover. On Iran, he echoes Chris Christie's warning that this war turns Trump into Jimmy Carter: Iran has issued a list of demands that amounts to an "F you" ransom note, is openly watching the American election calendar and timing its moves accordingly, and — just as in 1980 — the humiliation itself is the point. All of it, Chuck notes, was Trump's own choice. He closes somewhere unexpected: giving Mark Zuckerberg genuine credit. In his 6,500-word manifesto, Zuckerberg argued that the real danger of AI is the concentration of power, writing that hoping an absolute power will benevolently provide for humanity has historically never ended well — and committing Meta to a review process before models go public. Chuck notes the argument is being made by a deeply self-interested party and that the important parts got buried in what was really a debate with Sam Altman, but he singles out one thing worth emulating: Meta funneling data center tax revenue back into teacher bonuses and job training. Communities hosting this infrastructure have to win too, and he hopes more tech CEOs adopt that philosophy. Then, Ben Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair and author of the new book This Is the Plan joins the Chuck Toddcast to argue that Democrats keep making the same category error: they keep winning change elections and then failing to deliver change, because they're trying to fix policy without first fixing the system that determines who gets to make policy. Wikler's framing is memorable and a little cheeky — you have to win the ring of power and then cast it into Mount Doom — but his point is serious. When the right wins power, it immediately restructures the system to entrench itself; Democrats win and then govern as though the rules are fixed. His plan runs through the state level, where free and fair elections are actually secured, and demands ending the filibuster and reforming the Supreme Court, including term limits for justices, because campaign finance reform is impossible without a Court willing to allow it. Wikler argues America is in the greatest period of political instability in its history, that inequality now exceeds the Gilded Age, that gerrymandering has left millions of people without a meaningful vote, and that both party bases increasingly want to fight more than they want to win — while swing and non-voters have simply given up on the system itself. He rejects the tired rebuilders-versus-renovators binary: FDR's Social Security pitch was a huge swing, incrementalism was the only path to Obamacare, and the actual art of politics is starting from values and vision and then figuring out what can pass. The conversation gets specific about Wisconsin and about trust. Wikler pushes back on the idea that Francesca Hong is too "Madison" for a statewide race, notes she's spent years traveling and listening across the state, and calls Tom Tiffany an election denier who is genuinely beatable in a cycle where affordability is the central issue. He and Chuck work through the puzzle of why Tony Evers' calm, steady approach succeeded where Biden's didn't — Evers came out forcefully against Dobbs, and, more fundamentally, you have to convince a majority of voters that government can actually work, which means doing what you said you'd do and then relentlessly telling people you did it. Wikler points to pandemic relief as the cautionary tale: those programs dramatically improved life for lower-income voters, the child tax credit cut child poverty in half, and then it all expired and Democrats got punished for the loss rather than credited for the gain — with an extension that had bipartisan support dying anyway, because the filibuster exists largely to deprive the other side of a win. He credits Ken Martin for investing in state parties, argues Democrats don't need a 50-state strategy so much as fifty different state strategies since the coalition looks different everywhere, and concedes that Trump has been the most successful Republican of this era, spawning an army of mini-mes modeling themselves on him. And yes, Chuck asks the obvious question — why not run for Senate yourself? Finally, Chuck reveals his ToddCast Top 5 list of biggest non-presidential primary upsets, which David Crowley’s win taking the top spot. He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and weighs in on the highly suspicious sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to Jared Kushner’s brother.

John talks about the bizarre revelation that Donald Trump was whisked away in a catering truck to escape an assassination plot. He critiques the expendability of certain White House staff members left behind during this covert operation. He then shifts gears to discuss the recent midterm primaries, highlighting the ideological and generational divides within the Democratic Party. With a focus on the outcomes from South Carolina, Minnesota, and Connecticut, John examines how candidates like Darline Graham, Peggy Flanagan, and Luke Bronin are reshaping the political landscape.Then joining John, is Emily Cherniak, founder and executive director of New Politics. They discuss the significance of servant leadership in politics, the importance of candidate preparation, and the lessons learned from recent primary elections. Emily shares insights on how to identify political talent and the challenges that come with uniting the left and center within the Democratic Party. The conversation touches on the crucial need for leaders who prioritize community service over personal ambition, and how this philosophy can lead to more effective governance.Next, John welcomes back the esteemed Reverend Barry Lynn, a longtime civil liberties lawyer and activist, to the show. They delve into the ongoing civil war within the Democratic Party, examining the tensions between establishment Democrats and the rising influence of Democratic Socialists. They discuss the historical context of the Equal Access Act and how Reverend Lynn's activism transformed a potentially harmful statute into a vehicle for promoting inclusivity in schools. They also reflect on the irony of the religious right leveraging this legislation to establish clubs that ultimately support marginalized groups, such as gay-straight alliances.Then, John engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Nikki Porcher, a U.S. Air Force veteran and the Democratic nominee for Georgia Labor Commissioner. Nikki shares her inspiring journey from a technical trade high school to military service, and ultimately to advocating for labor rights and economic opportunities for all Georgians. She discusses her nonprofit organization, Buy From Black Women, which has empowered underserved entrepreneurs and generated over $6 million in revenue.And finally, John brings back the dynamic duo of Dillon Naber Cruz and Pastor December Rose AKA The God Squad, who bring their unique perspectives on progressive Christianity and the alarming rise of authoritarianism within the faith community. They engage in a thought-provoking conversation about the implications of recent political maneuvers, including the push for stricter abortion laws and the relationship between the Trump administration and its evangelical supporters. Dillon's latest Substack piece, "Let's Get Biblically Literal: Abortion Edition," sparks a lively debate about the biblical interpretations used to justify anti-abortion stances.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A federal watchdog says some guidelines meant to improve the response to Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) are falling short of federal requirements. That is according to an audit from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)'s Office of Inspector General. The watchdog reviewed guidelines from 49 U.S. Attorneys' districts developed under Savanna's Act. The law was passed in 2020 to improve coordination between tribal, federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies responding to MMIP cases. The Inspector General found guidelines from 10 of the 49 districts did not fully meet requirements under the law. Seven were missing at least one of six required sections, while eight were not adequately tailored to circumstances within their individual districts. The audit also found staffing shortages within the DOJ's MMIP Regional Outreach Program. As of February, four of the program's 10 positions were vacant. The Inspector General says vacancies and staff turnover have slowed the program's progress. The office made three recommendations, including addressing staffing shortages and bringing district guidelines into compliance. The Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys agreed with all three. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan addresses her supporters during her Primary Night party. (Courtesy Peggy Flanagan / Facebook) Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Nation/D-MN) has won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. The Associated Press called the race for Flanagan Tuesday night. She defeated U.S. Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) in the Democratic-Farmer-Labor primary. The win puts Flanagan one step closer to making history. If elected in November, she would become the first Native American woman to serve in the U.S. Senate. Flanagan has served as Minnesota's lieutenant governor since 2019 and is the highest-ranking Native woman elected to executive office in the U.S. During her campaign, Flanagan focused on issues including health care and affordability. She also campaigned against corporate influence in politics. Peggy Flanagan’s note to her supporters. (Courtesy Peggy Flanagan / Facebook) She is running for the seat held by U.S. Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), who is not seeking reelection. Flanagan will face Republican Michele Tafoya in the November general election. The Associated Press called that primary for the former NFL sideline reporter in a crowded Republican race. The Clean Air Act requires uranium waste storage pits at the White Mesa mill near Blanding, Utah, to be covered in water to control radon gas. (Photos: Dom Smith / EcoFlight) Congressional Democrats have opened an investigation into a uranium mining company for alleged insider trading. KNAU's Chris Clements has more. Energy Fuels Resources CEO Ross Bhappu bought 74,000 shares of stock in his own company on July 7. Chairman of the board Burce Hansen bought 4,000 shares on July 8. Five days after that, President Donald Trump announced a 90% cut to Bears Ears National Monument. That timing is suspicious, says two Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee. U.S. Reps. Jared Huffman (D-CA) and Maxine Dexter (D-OR) allege the Trump administration may have tipped the company off about the reduction before it happened. The company owns the only conventional uranium mill in the U.S., and there is a lot of uranium underneath Bears Ears – which is now free from a moratorium on new mining claims. The congressmembers say the company stood to benefit from the Bears Ears reduction, but in an emailed statement to KNAU, Energy Fuels denied the allegations and said it was unaware of any evidence supporting the representatives' claims.
