I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Exhibit Number 956748 that no good people support Republicans and their bizarre obsession with children’s genitals.

Yes, this City needs stronger rental housing vacancy fees and much stronger commercial rental vacancy fees. It is obviously not a hit to these developers and landlords to allow buildings to stand empty and create nuisances - make it expensive enough and maybe something changes.

Really feels like this is a conversation one wouldn’t want to have via email. The hubris of these people is just wild.

4/ To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek’s CEO, Martin Kao, sends an initial $150K to the pro-Collins super PAC (1820 PAC) using a shell company. Reed knows Kao is behind the donation. “Very smart,” he says in an email viewed by ProPublica.

Council President Payne: "we've politicized this conversation to the point that now it has become toxic to provide fiscal oversight of this department, as though you are some unhinged person detached from reality for daring to question how much money is spent on policing."

As I was standing by this gas pump filling up my truck with six dollar gas I couldn’t help but think that this was a small price to pay so that every child wanting to play sports in elementary school has to submit to mandatory genital inspections

Trump's massive surveillance state and attacks on our civil liberties wouldn't have been possible without the PATRIOT Act. Watch this prescient warning from Russ Feingold, the only Senator to vote against its passage after 9/11.

Trump took Laura Loomer, who claimed 9/11 was an inside job, to the remembrance and these people said nothing. Zohran Mamdani finally allowed New Yorkers to find out the truth about what they were exposed to after 25 years. This is ridiculous bigotry - call it what it is. Explicitly.

Anjali Dayal@anjalikdayal.bsky.social

This is somehow still going, and it’s not just a few random families now; it’s also a former mayor of NYC and governor of New York. There is, again, no way to reason to argue Mamdani shouldn’t attend this commemoration that isn’t fundamentally bigoted

We'd be able to do a lot of good in this country with the money we'd raise raffling off chances to take a swing at one of the monstrous things this administration put in place. Even just snapping off one of the letters in "Oval Office" would be so cathartic.

I keep thinking about Flanagan mentioning the fact that so many of our kids in Minnesota now have ACE (adverse childhood experiences) scores because of the things the federal government did here, and how she will work on those kids' behalf in DC. It's amazing to hear someone plainly say that.

This is possibly the strongest endorsement possible.

Trump on El-Sayed: "If he succeeds, the Dumocrats will gain 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen, many Electoral and Popular Votes, a stacked Supreme Court with 23 Justices, and I will be, sadly, despite the great job we are doing, the last Republican President!"

Sometimes I think about how careful I have always been to consider if something I do or say will in any way jeopardize my law license or the profession and then I look at what Republicans lawyers do daily out in the open and I feel somewhat stupid.

Chris Madel, former GOP candidate for governor and the attorney representing St. Paul police in their sexual harassment allegations against Mayor Kaohly Her, sent this text to Star Tribune columnist Rochelle Olsen after her column questioning the motivation of the allegations:

Northeast Minneapolis and nearby friends - do you know of Bob’s Produce Ranch? It’s in Fridley and has some of the best produce (particularly peaches) that I’ve ever had. They even tell you where in Colorado your particular peaches are from week to week!

Yes! This! I've discussed this with a number of people. You're not getting the excitement you need without someone like LG Flanagan on the ballot.

onsite public media stole one of my stories and put it in infographics on their IG, asking for donations to support “their work.” low integrity. it was founded by toussaint morrison, whose company reel house just made $25k doing ads for hennepin county safety & justice for all, the hao nguyen PAC

This is straight up perverse.

Discriminatory and dangerous: “every girl in kindergarten through 12th grade will have to have her sex assigned at birth verified by a doctor — through either genetic or hormone tests or an examination of her reproductive anatomy — to be eligible to play girls’ sports.”

more text messages have been shared between angie craig and john hoffman via dogdaysofminnesota on threads the hoffmans were hurt that craig followed up every check in about how they were doing after the attempted assassination with an ask for his endorsement for her senate run

At this point, with what we know about Angie Craig, endorsing her is saying "I don't give a shit about Operation Metro Surge and ICE, that isn't a problem for me" and "Crypto bros and the oligarchy are also fine" and "SuperPACS are great." Endorsers are "showing their ass" as my grandma used to say

There is a real choice in this race, and the stakes are sky-high. I'm running for U.S. Senate to make sure Minnesotans can afford their lives, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to explain my bold vision for our future. 🧵

My goodness. We have USI/T-Mobile Fiber internet at our house, and not only did they send a tech out on a Sunday to fix an issue that just arose Saturday, he provided the best customer service and was so quick and kind!

Besides the like 98 other things wrong here, “coastal elites” is quite the Republican scare tactic. Just like Angie here in MN, she will vote like she speaks and no one should be surprised if they elect her!

"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens

minnesota state senator john hoffman revealed tonight at the peggy flanagan rally in st. paul that angie craig asked him for his endorsement for US senate while he was still in the ICU after vance boelter shot him really appalling anecdote!

john hoffman, MN state senator who survived an assassination attempt by vance boelter, who killed mark and melissa hortman, is here supporting omar fateh. he said fateh was his first visitor when he was in hospital. gave him a note saying “we’ll get that fucker” that is still on his fridge

See Minneapolis? When you act like bike lanes are the devil you're agreeing with an idiot.

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social

Trump's Department of Transportation is systematically deleting all mentions of bike lanes from the agency's website.

I feel like softball queers need to hold a presser where they inform MN voters that despite Angie Craig’s pandering new ad, no softball queers approve of her or her message. Softball queers for Peggy Flanagan, now and forever.

Oh hey, shorter version of all this commentary about the primetime address tonight - that man is a liar. he lies about everything. he’s cornered and going to keep lying and cheating. liars will always lie. Hope that helps!

Haunted once again… A 3 year old in Bluey pyjamas watched ICE shoot her father dead Then his lifeless body dragged from the car & handcuffed He had a Social Security # He wasn’t even the man they were after Not fleeing Not undocumented Now dead America, you are so broken.

If it wasn’t clear before this week, I hope it has become crystal clear - if we can wrest power from the ghouls in this administration, there must be accountability, and we’re going to need leaders in DC who agree with that. There is no place for middle of the road Dems from MN, MI or anywhere.

Second time in just about a week when a man not targeted by ICE was killed by them
