FAA looking into plane crash and near miss
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a plane crashed into a home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota on Saturday — a day after another nearly missed colliding with a military aircraft near Reagan National Airport.
The big picture: The incidents, though unrelated, happened about two months after a midair collision marked as the deadliest air carrier crash in the U.S. since November 2001. It happened January 29 near Reagan National Airport outside D.C.
By the numbers: There have been 153 aviation accidents so far this year, 23 of them fatal, per the National Transportation Safety Board which is also investigating the Saturday crash.
Last year, there were 286 accidents in the first three months of the year, with 50 of them fatal.
In the incident Friday, Delta Air Lines Flight 2983 was cleared for takeoff at Reagan airport around 3:15pm local time "while four U.S. Air Force T-38 Talons were inbound to Arlington National Cemetery for a flyover," the FAA said in a statement.
"The Delta aircraft received an onboard alert that another aircraft was nearby," the agency said. "Air traffic controllers issued corrective instructions to both aircraft."
There were two pilots, three flight attendants and 131 customers on board, and no injuries have been reported.
A Delta spokesperson said in a statement: "Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people. That's why the flight crew followed procedures to maneuver the aircraft as instructed."
In the crash Saturday, a" SOCATA TBM7 crashed in a residential area in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, around 12:20 p.m. local time" after it departed from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa, per the FAA.
A home was engulfed in flames, but local officials told media no one inside the house was injured.
It's unclear at this time how many people were on board the plane and their condition.
What they're saying: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz posted on X that his team is "in touch with local officials on the scene in Brooklyn Park and we are monitoring the situation closely. Grateful to the first responders answering the call."

Gov. Tim Walz calls for less ‘rigid' Democratic nominating calendar in future election cycles
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz answers questions during a June 5, 2025, interview with States Newsroom staff in Minneapolis. (Photo by Sherman Smith/Kansas Reflector) Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Thursday Democrats need to take a broader approach to the states they are targeting during elections — which could mean further changes to the presidential nominating calendar. Speaking with Minnesota Reformer editor Patrick Coolican at a States Newsroom conference in Minneapolis, the 2024 vice presidential candidate tackled multiple topics related to President Donald Trump's time in office. He also discussed ways for the Democratic Party to bounce back after significant Republican wins in 2024, including Trump's win over his and Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. One of the major questions leading up to the 2028 presidential election season — especially for Iowa — is the Democratic presidential nominating calendar. Following issues in the 2020 Democratic caucuses and Democratic National Committee concerns about the accessibility of the caucus system, Iowa was booted from it's longtime first-in-the-nation position in the Democratic nominating calendar in 2022, replaced by South Carolina. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX When asked by Iowa Capital Dispatch Editor-in-Chief Kathie Obradovich which state should go first, Walz immediately quipped, 'Minnesota.' But in a longer response, the Democratic governor said he believes Democrats should rotate which states kick off the nominating process each presidential election cycle — a process he said may not be popular in states that may not traditionally have held early contests, but could improve Democrats' odds in elections. He reflected on how in his 2024 run with Harris, winning the presidency came down to winning a handful of contested states. 'On the calendar, I think you can't be too rigid,' Walz said. 'And it was … I don't know if the word is depressing, but going to the seven states over and over and over again, and recognizing that you could win a presidential election or lose one doing that — I think we've got to be broader.' Iowa Democrats made changes to the caucus system, moving from in-person events to a mail-in presidential preference contest in 2024, but there is not any indication the DNC plans to reinstate Iowa as an early state in the next nominating cycle. However, Iowa and other states that were not a part of the early state lineup in 2024 will have a chance to take a top position in 2028. Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart and other Iowa officials have said the DNC plans to revisit the calendar leading up to the next presidential election. Though Iowa is still in the running, a potential blow was dealt to the state with Iowa Democrat Scott Brennan losing his longtime seat on the DNC Rules and Bylaws committee, the body overseeing the nominating calendar, the Des Moines Register reported. Walz said he is not running as a Democratic presidential candidate, he has made visits to many of the traditional early states, including a May Democratic Party event in South Carolina and March event in Des Moines. He is not the only speculated 2028 Democratic presidential candidate to visit Iowa in recent months — former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, who won the 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses, held an event in Cedar Rapids in May. Walz is also not the only person who thinks changes Democratic presidential nominating calendar would serve the party well in future elections. Chris Cillizza, a political commentator who formerly worked for CNN, said during a Potluck Podcast episode Monday with members of the Iowa Writers' Collaborative that it was 'very clear' former President Joe Biden moved South Carolina to the front of the calendar in 2024 'because South Carolina and Jim Clyburn got him elected president' in 2020. However, Biden ultimately was not the Democratic presidential candidate in 2024, Cillizza said, and recent Democratic losses for the presidency with Harris and Hillary Clinton in 2024 show states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are crucial to winning the general election. He said he believes Iowa should go first because 'if you're if you're a Democrat trying to solve your broader problems, I think Iowa going first would help, not hurt' in the fight to win Midwestern states. He said he believes this strategy has been reflected with the potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates visiting traditional early states like Iowa. When I look at travel schedules now, they're acting as though we're back to the pre-Joe Biden nominating calendar — Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina,' Cillizza said. 'And I wouldn't be surprised if it went back to that. I mean, look, I actually think there's a case to be made.' However, he said he is not sure about the DNC chair Ken Martin's strategy heading into 2028. Martin, elected in February, is from Minnesota, which Cillizza said 'probably helps a little bit in the case for the Midwest.' SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE

Tim Walz Encourages Bullying
Wannabe tough guy Tim Walz encourages Democrats to bully Trump. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. The loving and tolerant Left is back at it with their uplifting and unifying message. Just kidding. Instead, as the keynote speaker for the Democratic Party state convention in South Carolina, failed VP candidate and current Minnesota Governor Tim Walz told his fellow party members to, 'be a little meaner, a little bit more fierce.' He then went on to baselessly call President Trump a bully and encouraged his party to 'bully him back.' He added an expletive in there too, just to keep up his image of being all rough and tumble! In reality, Tim Walz is the furthest thing from intimidating, physically and politically! Even so, his message is incredibly inappropriate and reckless. President Trump has had TWO close attempts on his life. For Walz, or anyone else who considers themselves a political leader, to continue to label him an 'existential threat' or 'wannabe dictator' or worse, encourage bullying, is why we are in the political climate we are in. Political violence doesn't just spring up out of nowhere. Tim Walz should be ashamed and embarrassed of himself! I'm embarrassed just looking at him!

49 Parent-Tested Products Worth Every Penny
Helllooooo parents, my name is Heather, and at the time I'm writing this, my son is 3 and my daughter is 1 (so you know I get *it*). I pulled together some of the most beloved parenting products the moms of our team have tried out (less leg work for you newer parents or parents-to-be!). I can (and will) happily tell you *all* about what has worked for our families, but kindly wanted to note that we're aware every kid is different! So, what worked for us and our kids may not work for you and yours. But hey, it's worth a shot. Right? A Frida Baby fold-and-go potty seat that'll bring you peace of mind, knowing your toddler's tush never has to touch a grime-filled public toilet. It comes with a travel bag that'll fit easily in your diaper bag or regular tote bag if you're just running a quick errand with your toddler. And Ms. Rachel's Potty Time With Bean book — a must-have for toddler parents who are in the midst of tackling potty training. The book features a sweet, motivational story about a little bear who is learning to use the potty (with Ms. Rachel for support, of course). It has reward stickers in the back and tips/tricks for parents! A 360-degree spill-proof cup that'll seemingly defy the laws of gravity when your tot drinks from it — the water only comes out of the edges when sipped! Not to mention it'll help your mini-me learn to drink from a standard cup sooner. A Boon drying rack with a surprisingly chic design that'll provide you with the perfect spot to dry your little one's bottles and accessories without ruining the entire look of your kitchen. You might just find yourself using it to nicely dry your wine glass after a loooooong day of taking care of tiny judgment here. A Maxi Cosi Kiskadee high chair starring a 360-degree swivel feature you can use to turn your tyke as needed instead of stretching your self-proclaimed T-Rex arms to the limit in an attempt to spoon some mashed sweet potato into their hangry little gullet. Or a modern high chair from Stokke that'll transform into a perfectly sized mini chair as your child grows. They'll be able to use it right up against your kitchen table to dine alongside the family, and it'll look great alongside your other furniture. Not to mention, it'll be super easy to clean after your kiddo inevitably coats it in jelly, peanut butter, marinara sauce, and juice. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced parents will be able to rely on to help them make their baby a bottle in a flash — which is *much* appreciated when they're screaming their head off because they've decided they're hungry. I've literally told every single parent or parent-to-be in my life that THIS machine is what's keeping me going — it is the light of my life (next to my kids, of course). Plus a Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro, because anything that is going to make your life easier during the first year of being a parent is worth every penny. This magical machine washes, sterilizes, AND dries bottles, breast pump parts, and other accessories with natural steam. Take it from someone who genuinely knows — this will save you SO much time so you can do one of the other million things on your to-do list instead of hangin' out with a bottle brush. A Munchkin bottle warmer you'll pat yourself on the back for buying when your baby is happily chugging down a perfectly temperate bottle of the house white. Gone are the days of microwaving (oops) or soaking a bottle in hot water to get it nice 'n' warm for your babies. It's compatible with most brands, so no need to give up your favorite bottle. Speaking of bottles, a starter set of Chicco Duo Newborn Hybrid Baby Bottles with glass on the inside but plastic on the outside that'll ensure your baby's milk will only touch pure glass. This means no gross smells, aftertaste, or discolorations over time! Bottoms up, babes. Or a set of silicone baby bottles from Boon Nursh with a shockingly chic design (yes, I said CHIC in regards to a bottle) that'll make you feel like you're really nailing this whole parenting at least. They're easy for baby to hold on, which will give you some bonus time to do something else with YOUR hands. A toddler-size table you can fold up easily when your kiddos aren't using it to color, snack, or bang on like a drum. It'll ensure they always have somewhere to hang without it taking up too much space in your already over-flowing playroom. A playpen to contain your precious and surprisingly VERY fast beast who just learned to crawl and is suddenly everywhere all at once. Plop 'em in here with some of their favorite toys while you grab a cup of already-cold coffee and get to work baby-proofing the rest of the house. A Nanit monitor and wall mount to help you keep a watchful eye on your babe while they sleep — you can also easily see stats on how long they've been asleep or if they're standing and not-so-patiently waiting for you to come scoop 'em up. A Hatch Restore 3 to act as a night-light, a white noise machine, an alarm clock, and a sleep trainer with a design that seamlessly blends into the nursery's decor. Fingers crossed, you and your kiddo will get some sleep this decade with the help of this gadget! An iconic Sophie the Giraffe teether your little one will, for unexplained reasons, likely cherish and love chomping away on as their pearly whites start to (painfully) poke through. Aquaphor Healing Ointment — it'll be one of the most unexpected parenting holy grail items you'll use daily on your little one. It's unscented, preservative-free, and fantastic for healing sensitive skin. You know how in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Gus was always saying, "Put some Windex on it!" to fix all things? Well, that's about to be you with Aquaphor. And a baby butt spatula you'll either laugh or cringe at but will thank your lucky stars that you thought to purchase it when you see how much nicer it is to apply diaper cream to your baby's booty with it instead of your finger. It has incredible suction on the bottom, so you can keep it right next to your changing pad without fear of it being kicked over by your unruly tot. A Frida Baby The 3-Step Cradle Cap System that'll remove dry skin from baby's scalp so gently they won't even notice — it comes with a sponge, a brush, and a comb that'll all work together to get your kiddo's scalp looking good. A bottle of The Honest Company detangling spray to help post-shower hair brushing sessions go a bit more, for lack of a better term, smoothly! It's hypoallergenic, all-natural, gentle and boasts a delectable scent. A Little Big Playroom ball pit if your kiddo's nickname is The Energizer Bunny — it'll keep them contained and entertained! The edges are so soft that they can also chew on it and fall into it without harming themselves (a big parenting win). Frida Baby Natural Vapor Bath Bombs filled with eucalyptus and lavender, so when your little one inevitably does get sick, you'll be ready to go with a soothing bathtime edition that'll help clear their sinuses and relax their little body. A bottle of Tubby Todd's new micellar water for when your tyke had a blowout in the morning, resulting in an unplanned bath, but then covers themselves in marinara sauce during dinner. Sigh. No parent wants to do bathtime twice; give that kiddo a quick (but satisfying!) clean with this instead. A Newton Essential Crib Mattress that'll help provide you with some peace of mind once your tyke starts actually sleeping on top of it — it's made with a unique woven material that babies can completely breathe through (an absolute game changer) and is also fully washable. A Momcozy wearable breast pump you can count on to give you your independence back (kind of) or at the very least free up your hands so you can do other things like read a book, meal prep, clean the toilet, whatever(!!!) instead of being chained to a stationery pump. A bath toy thermometer that'll become your most reliable bathtime companion — it'll alert you to precisely what temperature the water is and if it's an appropriate one for your baby to soak in. You've got enough on your plate, let this seal take the reins on this one. An inexpensive baby gate featuring a pressure mount you'll adore because you won't have to drill holes into your walls (a big win). It's easy to install and easy for adults to open with one hand, which you'll definitely be thankful for when you're trying to carry your baby and open it simultaneously. A 3-in-1 Frida Baby Infrared thermometer with a built-in sensor that'll make taking your tyke's temperature a breeze. You can also remove the tip and use it as an inner-ear thermometer and use it to take your own as well! Perfect for any parents who err on the side of caution and find themselves checking their kiddo's temp anytime they look a bit flushed (ahem, me). A pack of spill-proof Munchkin snack catchers so your kiddo can take their fave snack with them while venturing to different areas of the playground or enjoy a lil' nibble of something while en route to a playdate. Or a snack spinner with five compartments for kids who like to diversify their palate when on the go, and by "diversify," I mean they want Goldfish, graham crackers, cereal, yogurt bites, *and* fruit all at once. Why is it so hard to satiate a toddler?! Plus a pack of hair bow ties in any color you might possibly need to transform your toddler from a terror into a tiny treasure (or, at least, their hair). It'll be a major upgrade from trying to twist minuscule rubber bands around their locks *and then* fastening a hairbow while their already-slim patience is wearing thin. A BabyBjörn Harmony Carrier, so you can do all kinds of things hands-free, like take your baby on a Target shopping trip, do chores around the house, make a salad, brush your hair, whatever! They'll likely get a nice, snuggly nap in while you get stuff done. It'll be a win for everyone! And a hip seat sling that'll be a must-buy for your back if you've got a Stage 5 clinger for a toddler (siiiiigh) but don't want to let that stop you from getting outdoors. Or a 3-in-1 baby carrier with a hip seat to combine the magic of a carrier *and* a hip seat so you can tote your tot around in a variety of ways from the infant days to the toddler years. Plus a 10-pack of colorful unisex HonestBaby tees that'll refresh your kiddo's closet with their latest size and without any extra stress for Mom or Dad. Apologies, though, I can't offer any advice on how to get them from rolling around like a feral creature when you try to get the shirt on 'em... Sink extenders so you won't need to muster up Herculean strength every time your surprisingly dense toddler wants to wash their sticky little paws. And a pack of brilliant light switch extenders that'll let tykes turn them on all on their own! Don't be surprised if you catch them humming Kelly Clarkson's "Miss Independent" soon. Tubby Todd All Over Ointment — aka parents' saving grace for any skincare issues their tyke throws their way. It's formulated with plant-based materials like Jojoba Esters and Camellia Leaf Extract that naturally moisturize skin but *without* any heavy fragrances. It's a thick, reliable cream that soaks in quickly and works wonders on everyone and everything. A Doona all-in-one travel system — a magical car seat and stroller combo that'll make getting your baby out of the house way less daunting. No need to break a sweat while trying to insert your infant's heavy car seat into a separate stroller contraption without waking them; simply lift this one out of the car, and the wheels will click into place underneath. The only explanation for this invention is an exhausted parent must've used one of their three wishes and asked a Genie to craft this. A Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller 2.0 for anyone who is currently in the baby/toddler trenches and starting to sweat thinking about trekking around the playground with both kiddos. Parenting several littles is not for the weak, but if you're in the same boat as me, you'll want a reliable double-stroller option! Or the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo bassinet and seat stroller set, so even if you're adding another little one to the mix, your toddler won't have to sacrifice their sweet ride. Once your baby outgrows the bassinet seat, you can swap in the regular seat so they can hang with their toddler sibling on outdoor adventures. A splurge-worthy new Nuna Lumn Car Seat with incredible features that'll make you want to add it to your registry — it can support kids weighing anywhere from 30 to 110 lbs, has nine different reclining options (OK, fancy), can be converted from a harness seat to a booster as your child gets bigger, *AND* is so slim it can actually fit alongside two other car seats in most mid-sized vehicles (which any parent of many will know is a big freakin' deal). Or a Babyark Smart Carseat if you're a self-proclaimed techy who is HERE for a cool gadget and the added bonus that it'll keep your kiddo super duper safe. It's made of carbon fiber and steel (okkkkkk!), has military-grade absorption (cooool!) features a machine-washable and fire-retardant material (yesss, tell me more!), and adjusts for newborns up to 6-year-olds (WOW!). A lightweight Veer All-Terrain Cruiser stroller/wagon with a ton of practical accessories and configurations that'll make it an integral part of all your family's outdoor excursions from now through the fall! Dad can load it up and hit the playground like he would have the *~clurb~* back in the 2010s. A Toniebox Audio Player Starter Set, which is essentially a tiny stereo toddlers can control all on their own just by swapping out which character magnetically sits on top of it. Each individual figure tells different stories and sings different songs — it's a great way to keep kids entertained without a screen. A Boon folding toddler tower you can stow away when your tyke isn't begging you to use it. (So, never?) It's sturdy, has grippy nonslip feet, an adjustable height, and is exactly what your dying-to-always-be-hands-on kid needs to partake in nightly cooking or daily crafting. A BabyBjörn bouncer, so your eager-to-sit little one can comfortably survey the room, indulge in a little Ms. Rachel on YouTube, or bounce to their heart's content (honestly, whatever works). An interactive routine board from Charmspring you'll squeal over how darn cute it is! It'll provide a lovely little visual of your family's day-to-day and help your kiddo learn about planning, scheduling, and overall routines. And an electric swivel nursery chair you will likely spend more time sleeping in than your actual bed (unless you have an angel baby, and in that case, I am extremely envious). This S-tier chair reclines slowly and, more importantly, quietly with the push of a button! It also has USB charging ports built in, so when you desperately need to pee at 3 a.m. and need to contact your partner to swap places with you, you won't discover a dead phone.
