Minneapolis lost a legend. Jellybean Johnson wasn’t just a pioneer of the Minneapolis Sound — he was the sound. Every time I met him, he carried that rare mix of talent, kindness, and unmistakable swagger. We’ll honor his music, impact, and reminder to always “put some jelly on it.”

Today, we recognized several City staff who stepped up in the wake of the Annunciation shooting. From 911 dispatchers and first responders to our communications teams and those supporting from afar, hundreds—if not thousands—of people answered the call during one of our city’s darkest moments.

When Washington stalls, Minneapolis acts. I’m directing $150K to local food shelves immediately to help keep neighbors fed while SNAP benefits remain uncertain. If you can, please give to your local food shelf. We’ll keep stepping up—and keep urging the federal government to do its job.
