How long until a reporter asks Trump about this and we get a soundbyte of him “oh it’s not that bad! Very fine people!”

They really do love saying the quiet part out loud.

Mamdani points out the amount of tax credits Cuomo has given to Musk. $957 million.

MacCallum immediately “well what would you cut?” They don’t even see tax credits to billionaires as something you might not do. There has to be some other cut.

MacCALLUM: Margaret Thatcher said socialism is great until you run out of other people's money

MAMDANI: Well, what Andrew Cuomo said is that if you have $957m you give it to Elon Musk in tax credits

Going to keep beating this drum because it’s also a great example of the “urban playground” philosophy vs catering your business to people that live and work in the city. Instead of everything as a drive in destination for suburbanites.

When the writing is this bad, why aren’t we naming names? Sharyn Jackson, please do a better job. This is sloppy.

Yes. A lot of restaurant coverage these days feels more like PR for ownership/management than anything else.

Are restaurant writers so ensconced in the warm bosom of restaurateurs that they don’t realize broad parts of the public have less disposable income so incumbent places are adjusting *no matter where they are.* Jfc

Also reveals why establishment dems seem to love republicans so much. They view negotiating within their “big tent” as a hassle or a “purity test”. They dont think Rs do that (they do and are worse). Rs will lie to their voters and do whatever they want in congress. The establishment Dem dream!

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

There was an entire list! Emmer doesn’t seem to remember. Convenient.
elitalksmpls.bsky.social
Emmer is from MN. Where a man murdered Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their dog. As well as wounding John Hoffman.

The man had fliers for the “No Kings” rally that day and a car full of weapons. Emmer does know better. But he’s a horrible crank. This type of language encourages violence.
atrupar.com
Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Council President @elliottpayne.org is a dedicated public servant, he knows first hand what kind of leadership is needed at City Hall. Watch his video to learn about why he supports Senator Omar Fateh as his 1st choice to be the next Mayor of Minneapolis.
elitalksmpls.bsky.social
Well he seems to be more than willing to talk about it publicly himself. So why wouldn’t they ;)

But I generally agree and they’ve given me a pretty good run-around for the last month. But they underestimate how annoying I can be.

Maybe the county will finally reply with a report on the complaint I filed a month ago.

I think the wealthy of this town are trying to rewrite history with their Precarious State circle jerk on all their corporate stations & papers

I think they don't want us to realize our PBS is telling the accurate history of Mayors & Cops in this town.

Watch Paradox next Tuesday at 7pm on TPT2!

Just got a call from someone polling for Frey (almost positive). Asking for ranking of candidates. As well as approval of Council and Frey.

The person on the other end had a good chuckle at my “-1000” response to “1-10 whats your approval of Frey” question.

It’s only attempting to influence an election if if it comes from the attempting to influence an election region of France

His hour long infomercial, paid for by undisclosed business interests, dumping all over Mayor Frey's enemies, with subjects who participated because they were told it would help the mayor, should not be interpreted as an attempt to influence next month's city election.

Minneapolis deserves a champion for working people.

This is our opportunity to build a city where every single resident can thrive. I can’t wait to cast my ballot for my friend and colleague, Omar Fateh, as my first choice for mayor by November 4th, and I hope you will join me.

The moderates of this city really want to deliver a Republican legislature next year. And corporate democrats are giving them the lay up.

It won’t hurt progressives. But it will hurt the top of the ticket next year.

I’m so excited to have my Congresswoman and friend, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, on board with my candidacy for Mayor! She fights hard for the working people of Minneapolis. As Mayor, I’ll partner with leaders like her to build an affordable city that's accountable to us. secure.actblue.com/donate/fateh...

3 words that have also never happened…..the line only goes up for them. What are they so afraid of?
elitalksmpls.bsky.social
Since then it’s been full “the socialists want to defund the police” screeching anytime someone wants to do anything remotely different around public safety. From Frey’s PACs to Strib. It’s been the narrative pushed to longtime liberals who truly believe they’re doing the work to inform themselves.
elitalksmpls.bsky.social
It’s really hard because. In my experience. When you try and approach Frey supporters and have a good faith discussion on these issues. Even if you bring facts and sources. They just don’t care. Because they just believe whatever they read in the latest All of Mpls email.
