Over 350 convictions for fraud by the AG office

Big win for MN: the Court of Appeals reversed an acquittal in a $7.2 million Medicaid Fraud case, so now the jury’s guilty verdict stands as it always should have. Another example of how my fraud-fighting team will use *every option* to hold fraudsters accountable. www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Commu...

Doing a little early-voting precinct-by-precinct # crunching. Will dump it on you tomorrow. But my early conclusion is: the lower-income south side wards, especially Ward 6 & Ward 9, are doing a bang-up job early voting. Precincts with Somali-Minnesotans already voted 2x last midterm’s early vote.

Felt like even with the Wolves shooting themselves in the foot they still had chances in OT against a likely top 3 team in the East. Good game to learn some lessons from. We move.

Just too many missed opportunities late for the Wolves at Cleveland. Gobert’s putback miss, Kuminga missed FT’s, Ayo’s rim miss, allowing an OREB on the Mitchell miss, and finally the ideal missed FT bounce not being capitalized on about sums this one up.

What a gutter racist.

I will obviously be one of those tens of people, I just really think the only winners in this are the Dream’s owners, and that seems like a bullshit outcome given they are the ones to blame. They chose gateway, they failed to get in front of this, and now they literally profit.

If the WNBA/NBA cant guarantee that the finals will be able to be played in primetime at the teams preferred location starting next season, why are we expanding the season deeper into the NBA season when it goes to 50 games?

So here's the news. I have accepted a position with the Los Angeles Sparks' front office. I am excited beyond adequate words, really. I had to say a proper goodbye to my public work, and specifically to NetsDaily, though trust that I could not say it all: www.netsdaily.com/site-news/11...

netsdaily.comFAREWELL — Lucas KaplanI have accepted a position with the Los Angeles Sparks’ front office. The only difficulty is saying goodbye to ND.

Ever since the oil spike in 2008 I have been focused on driving hybrid or EV cars. I don't give a shit how a car looks I just don't want to deal with the shock price of fuel.

Lauri Myllyvirta@laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social

The typical gasoline car driver has paid $440 more since the crisis began. US drivers that have managed to make the switch to EVs are now reaping the benefits, experiencing only an increase of $17 in charging costs since the beginning of March.

Someone should ask Adam Silver what steps are gonna be put in place so that this Schedule logistical hell for the WNBA Fiabls never happens again

The WNBA season is going to go to 50 games next year. It will stretch into the regular season of the NBA. What is gonna be done so that this shit doesn't happen again?

And I’m sick of hearing people say “she took the league to new heights, she wasn’t all bad”. She was! The players took it to new heights. Cathy did less than nothing and collected checks. #wnba

Cathy Engelbert’s swan song has been: 1. Players openly hate her 2. Sabotaged the 2026 free agency period 3. The league infiltrated by transphobes 4. Finals schedule is a disaster

Had those requests been made weeks ago, or even a week ago, we might be in a different spot.

Ramona Shelburne@ramonaespn.bsky.social

While there was a lot of pressure to move the Cavs game from Thursday night to the open date on Friday… thereby creating difficult back to backs for both… or moving that game to Cleveland … from what I understand that was considered unfair and logistically next to impossible with so little notice.

What an embarrassment to the WNBA and the Atlanta Dream. This shit has to be set and figured out before the playoffs. Yes the MNBA has issues but you need to get this figured out months and months ago.

Alexa Philippou@alexaphilippou.bsky.social

BREAKING: Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be held Thursday at 12:30pm ET at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, sources told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. It will be a double-header with the Atlanta Hawks’ game, which will be moved to 8pm.

Minneapolis: come for the world-historical crises, stay for the resulting cheaper home prices!

Thinking about that CEO who couldn’t find 3 words to describe her child and i think we need to christen the concept of Socioparchy to describe being ruled by absolutely insane sociopaths

6th straight week double digit drop in the number of Pending Sales (homes that accepted an offer and then went through contingencies) We are also now at the highest level of inventory of homes for sale since 2019.

Nate Pentz@natepentz.bsky.social

We are at the 5th straight week of double digit percentage drop in pending homes sales for the Twin Cites. You can also look at where rates have gone since end of August.

What this means for buyers and sellers: Buyers homes sitting for a 21 days + will be able to get a little bit of a discount, homes were selling for 97.7% of list price in September.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.
