I'd argue that Fateh's experience in the legislature and ability to collaborate sets him apart from Frey, and that he hasn't exhibited the pettiness that is Frey's m.o. That Fateh has won endorsements from a range of fellow DFLers from the expected lefties to John Hoffman is to his credit.

at the mpls for the many press conference both mayor frey's campaign spokesperson and all of mpls staffer were there, handing out pieces of paper to the media with i presume their talking points. and they aren't supposed to be coordinating, but they can do this right in front of the media

The way that Taylor has been out-reporting the Strib is both a massive credit to Taylor and an embarrassment to the state’s largest media outlet. The levels of completeness and factuality in Taylor’s reporting is truly impressive.

It would be nice if the editors at the Strib were paying attention.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to get this package.

Tracking on a USPS package. Last specific location is in St. Paul on 10/9. Last update is "moving through network"/"in transit to next facility" on 10/13. I live in Minneapolis, and it's currently 10/15.

They're fine for what they are and very useful for a certain age of small kids, but had I not had kids that age, I wouldn't have ever eaten one.

The Venn diagram of having reason to go to the Children's Museum and having reason to eat an uncrustable is nearly a circle.

I still think the funnier outcome for this election would be Davis v. Fateh. Why involve Frey at all?

If I’m reading Kyle right, Frey admits failing to issue 100 housing vouchers *that are funded this year because he wants to kill the program next year.* (This is not Stable Schools, but for single folks.) This is unallotment Trump-style, especially since county/MPHA are in.

Oh, they're sold on the idea that Frey sucks and don't plan to vote for him. I'm just trying to convert a ranking of Fateh.

Been talking to some neighbors who don't like Frey, but can't get there on ranking Fateh, citing the questions/attacks on his ethics. Other than sharing my distrust of Martha Holton Dimick (author of a recent Strib opinion on the subject), what's a good 3rd party resource for addressing this?

MSP Airport has joined a growing list of airports declining to show a new video to travelers in which Kristi Noem blames Democrats for the federal government shutdown and flight delays.

Some U.S. airports decline to show Kristi Noem video blaming Democrats for government shutdown, including MSP

Phoenix, Houston, Seattle and several other airports are eschewing the video from the Department of Homeland Security secretary, too.
