Dylan was born Robert Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1941. He and his family lived on the upper floor of a duplex at 519 North 3rd Avenue East. "It's on the banks of Lake Superior, built on granite rock. Lot of fog horns, sailors, loggers, storms, blizzards," the musician reflected on his hometown in 2017. "My mom says there were food shortages, food rationing, hardly any gas, electricity cutting off-everything metal in your house you gave to the war effort. It was a dark place, even in the light of day-curfews, gloomy, lonely, all that sort of stuff-we lived there till I was about five, till the end of the war."

The fraud scandal in Minnesota had actually been going on for years, and the Biden DOJ had made dozens of arrests and secured key convictions in the years prior.

The bipartisan Starter Homes Act would loosen local mandates on minimum lot sizes, parking and design requirements, and require cities to allow duplexes, triplexes, and accessory dwelling units in more neighborhoods.

The Eighth Circuit said the group's claims were not likely to succeed. Writing for the panel, Judge Raymond Gruender said Title IX does not provide a private right of action for the kind of disparate-impact claims FAU brought here.

The bill describes a 'prediction market' as 'a system that allows consumers to place a wager on the future outcome of a specified event that is not determined or affected by the performance of the parties to the contract.'

"Offering science- and research-based health care to transgender and gender diverse youth is part of Children's Minnesota's vision of being every family's essential partner in raising healthier children."

The success of mass protests can be notoriously hard to evaluate. Even groups with focused messages, such as the antiabortion March for Life, can go decades before they achieve a tangible win.

The beauty and tragedy of taking part in a great crowd pop is that you had to be there. The TV sound mixers will not do it justice, nor will that guy who filmed the whole thing on his busted iPhone.

Driving the news: Musk took to X on Friday to celebrate the release of Medicaid data on claims, medical procedures and payments from January 2018 through December 2024. "Medicaid data has been open sourced, so the level of fraud is easy to identify," Musk wrote. "DOGE is not a department, it's a state of mind." The Department of Health and Human Services collects Medicaid claims data from states that administer the program. Until now, much of the information has been fragmented and difficult to access.

America has never seen a moment in modern history like the federal occupation of Minneapolis. Thousands of masked federal officers with uncertain authority are rampaging through the region, assaulting protesters and innocent people, abusing constitutional safeguards, staking out daycares and schools, snatching people off the streets in unmarked vans based on the color of their skin or their accent, and recklessly, relentlessly provoking violent confrontations with civilians-all against the loud, repeatedly expressed wishes of local and state officials.
