You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

Richfield passed our legislative priorities last night, with the following addition from CM Walter Burk (approved 5-0).

It is regrettable that it is a "policy position" that the federal government should follow the law and decades-long norms of law enforcement. But here we are.

Got a moment to share your ideas for Penn Avenue? Richfield could use your help! (And you're welcome to share your thoughts whether you live in Richfield or not.)

Mamdani's model only works in a few places now, the most effective way for him to spread his ideas is to be a good mayor.
and that's ok!

it's ok for a socialist running against a former (Dem) governor to win without radically reshaping the electorate

it's ok to do just enough with mod-Dem base voters to win comfortably

we have a (sewer) socialist Mayor now and that rocks!

but it's not something bigger than that

Traffic laws are now photo-enforced in the City of Mpls. Five traffic safety cameras were placed on accident-prone streets and will now issue tickets for speeding - $40 or $80 depending on the speed.

This is a step towards encouraging behavior change to slow down drivers and keep our city safe.🚦

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

Beautiful transformation of a suburban collector route in Northfield — streets that formerly had one-side sidewalk and nothing for bikes, now have sidewalks on both sides and a generous, two-way protected bike lane.

This isn't just a political claim, it's an empirical one. If "the problem is not guns" then we shouldn't see any correlation between gun ownership and oh wait platform.vox.com/wp-content/u...

Looking around, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that everyone -- and I mean everyone -- should have worked much harder to prevent Donald Trump from being elected.

Again, the key fact here is that convention organizers lost 180 votes for mayor (23% of the total) and wrongfully dropped the third-place candidate. Without those errors it is difficult for there to have been a mayoral endorsement. The organizers ADMIT the errors, but argued to keep the result.

This is such a sad story but a great example of where cities (especially suburbs) go wrong in zoning rules and considering public input.

Public input is invaluable when you are *writing* the rules. Public input should not dictate whether or not to *follow* the rules you passed.

Yeah it's really insane how the right switched from "we have to ban masks everywhere because N95s are scary" to "actually, what if we made terrorist-style face masks the de facto uniform of armed federal thugs? wouldn't that be awesome and scary?" in like four days
Guess who likes masks now

Just heard that @mollycoleman.bsky.social won the Ward 4 election handily, proving (once again!) that the anti-street-safety 'tree truther' SARPA cranks have no juice. Congrats to Molly! I think she can be an excellent St. Paul City Council Member.
