There’s such a disconnect in the formulaic way Politicians make statements and respond to critical incidents. “Raises questions” “monitoring” “we need answers”
There’s video and we all saw what happened. We don’t need to review and we don’t need answers. We just need leaders to take action.

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said he has seen videos circulating online, including footage of a woman being blasted in the face with a chemical irritant at point-blank range.
Carter said the incident raises questions about whether the city’s values of de-escalation and minimal force “were upheld.”

Denying other parts of the city fair representation so southwest can dominate the vote for 10 of 13 council seats sounds like something Scott Graham would want to do.
Fun to walk around lake of the Isles and hear one failed ward candidate loudly plotting with another extremely failed ward 7 candidate about having 4 wards and 9 at large council seats.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Aurin is an excellent CM - she’s incredibly intelligent, thoughtful; she has deep understanding of systems & governance. Aurin’s authenticity, ethics, experience, & integrity coupled with her deep commitment to serving others means W12 is well represented by her. I’m grateful for her leadership.
And another thing. I’m a damn good effective council member, I show up for my ward, I am connected to my neighbors, and I pass solid policy. I wish this could’ve been highlighted in my race by those who observed it— instead of my odd opposition. IG that’s the life of being a women of color in office

I know this is a rhetorical question and also think I know the answer.
Why the fuck is this framed as “teenager chose to prostitute herself and ruined the career of innocent congressman”
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9
