Democrats create atmospheres where the American dream is unattainable due to their shitty policies. But they'll tell you to your face that they are for small business.

Minnesota unions call Walz a 'bad boss' after he orders partial return to the office.
Walz announced Tuesday that most agency employees will be required to work in-person for at least 50% of scheduled workdays beginning June 1. His office said roughly 60% of state employees already work in-person and did so throughout the pandemic.
“This approach balances the flexibility of telework with the workplace advantages of being in office,” Walz said in a statement. “Having more state employees in the office means that collaboration can happen more quickly and state agencies can build strong organizational cultures more easily.”
The move comes as many businesses as possible and workplaces pull back from remote work, which became a widespread practice during the pandemic. President Donald Trump, for instance, ordered government employees to return to in-person work on his first day back in office.
The changes to Minnesota’s telework policy will provide exemptions for employees who live more than 75 miles away from their primary work location.
The Minnesota Association of Professional Employees (MAPE) and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which together represent nearly 40,000 state workers across Minnesota, were not pleased with the governor’s announcement.
“This is a unilateral move by a bad boss without consultation or consideration of the very staff he claims to care deeply about investing in. I never thought the same public worker attacks and micromanaging mannerisms of our federal administration would be mirrored in Minnesota,” said MAPE President Megan Dayton.

State legislators give Fani Willis a final deadline to comply with court-ordered subpoena over Trump RICO investigation.
Subpoena enforcement and compliance are the words of the day for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as the embattled Democrat is set to finally provide documents and appear for testimony under oath about her prosecution of President Donald Trump.
Peach State Sen. Bill Cowsert, a Republican who represents the college town of Athens, is the chair of the Senate Special Committee on Investigations. That committee has been looking into Willis for years. Since the summer of 2024, Cowsert has been intent on getting Willis to talk under oath about her long-frustrated Trump crusade.

Taxpayers Spent Billions Covering the Same Medicaid Patients Twice.
Health insurers got double paid by the Medicaid system for the coverage of hundreds of thousands of patients across the country, costing taxpayers billions of dollars in extra payments.
The insurers, which are paid by state and federal governments to cover low-income Medicaid recipients, collected at least $4.3 billion over three years for patients who were enrolled—and paid for—in other states, a Wall Street Journal analysis of Medicaid data found.
The patients were signed up for Medicaid in two states at once, in many cases following a move from one to the other. Most were getting all their healthcare services through one insurer in one state, even though Medicaid was paying insurers in both states to cover them.
Private insurers oversee Medicaid benefits for more than 70% of the about 72 million low-income and disabled people in the program. The companies get paid each month for each person they cover. They aren’t supposed to get paid if a patient leaves for another state.

NPR’s President Claimed With A Straight Face Her Outlet Wasn’t Biased. Here’s 5 Times NPR Was Shamelessly Political.
Despite years of flip flopping on their own reports, National Public Radio (NPR) CEO Katherine Maher told Congressional lawmakers Wednesday — without hesitation — that the outlet is a “nonpartisan organization” free from political bias.
Maher testified before the House Oversight Subcommittee regarding NPR’s government funding, working alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to address wasteful spending. When pressed by Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan on whether she believed the outlet was biased, Maher denied ever seeing political bias influence editorial decisions, insisting NPR has remained “nonpartisan.”
