Truly.

The current state of our streets, protected bikelanes and sidewalks is proof of what happens when we fund municipal clearing vs leave snow clearing to property owners.

In a city w/ mode shift & climate goals, we *must* do more to ensure sidewalks are cleared of snow.

Aurin Chowdhury rebutting Michael Rainville on his "defund the police" accusation. MPD has done nothing but ramp their budget off the chart. And then overspent that budget by $20 million. "That's the opposite of defunding the police. So let's give it a break."

Sounds like a great use of $9B
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.

Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

Do you support ICE kidnapping our residents here in Minneapolis? All I’ve seen you do is vote for the Laken Riley Act and strip away due process from immigrants.

You didn’t stick up for Minnesotans. In fact, your vote is impacting our Somali and immigrant communities heavily.
I’ve got news for you, Mr. President: in Minnesota, we stick up for our neighbors. And our Somali community isn’t going anywhere.

Your dangerous attacks on immigrants in my state and across the country are putting lives and families at risk.

Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.

The white, suburban leadership of the DFL is dying to wash their hands of Ilhan and the Somali community. Ilhan and other Somali pols' turnout machine in Minneapolis has saved them over and over again and they still primary her every year. It's embarrassing.

There is a well coordinated national campaign targeting a single trans professor at Oklahoma University to get her fired. It's part of a broader campaign to push trans people out of public life entirely. It was never about sports.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.
