Seems bad.

Janet Mills is 77 years old and Democratic leadership are eager to welcome her to the nation’s top retirement home.

A big blind spot in Minnesota campaign finance law is the ability of independent expenditure committees to take unlimited contributions with no spending limits. www.ncsl.org/elections-an...

This goes to CP Payne’s point on his recent appearance on the @wedge.live podcast. City Council are apportioning funds to be spent but the Mayor’s office is refusing to spend the money in the way it is allocated. Sound familiar?

This article from Axios Twin Cities makes it appear like Frey’s reasoning for not wanting to fund an unsheltered housing program has merit—no vouchers for the program have been issued. But it neglects to mention that the Frey administration is responsible for issuing the vouchers!

The article says no vouchers have been issued. Who is in charge of issuing the vouchers or what is the explanation for why none of have been issued?

“We went out to Denver as a group, and some representatives from Hennepin County came and we learned about the Denver model, which was to have an intense effort around those investigations.”

HCAO did go and we were excited about the Denver model. Minneapolis didn’t implement it.

There’s a coyote running around Windom Park this morning.

This is a really interesting bipartisan initiative in Montana to effectively overturn the awful Citizens United decision. Corporations are creatures of state law and Minnesota should consider taking a similar approach to get corporate $ out of elections. corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2025/08/07/t....

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...

9/ That’s right — Jacob Frey wanted a “black friend” to run cover for him. Davis refused; the mayor acted like Davis owed him something for appointing him to the committee, in a cynically transactional calculation that twisted Davis’s volunteer public service into political fealty.

8/ The part the public DOESN’T know is that in the firestorm after Locke’s killing, Frey called Davis, then on vacation in Mexico. Davis — fully expecting Frey to discuss how to better control MPD — instead found the mayor pleading with him to fly home & stand with Frey at a news conference.

THREAD. Did you know that at about 1/3 of all stranger homicides in the U.S. are perpetrated by police? But there's something hidden here that is important to understand in this authoritarian moment.

There is something unnatural about Indiana being good at football.

Loved this story from Racket about the “bones store” at MOA. racketmn.com/remember-whe...

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Downtown business folks are the most shortsighted fools in town, fouling their nest to get back at DSA & shocked when people avoid downtown. One even hallucinated a stabbing! Also, landlords can’t deny funding Kupchella’s screed even as another is shocked it was so negative. They’re just morons!

Republicans are free to run for election and vote. The criticism here is the Democrat benefiting from conservative money—a purposeful strategy.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Matthew Wasserbach, brokerage manager of Express Customs Clearance, said of the UPS backlog. “It’s totally unprecedented.”

The cyclical nature of trends: George Michael looks like your average Gen Z man.

Kingsley Bimpong should be alive. If we had public safety responses that cared for individuals instead of only looking for crimes this could have been avoided. Instead, Kingsley paid for it with his life and Dakota County taxpayers will be footing the bill for law enforcement’s indifference.

If a Republican could win in Minneapolis, then this is what their donor base would look like.
