Josh Kotai was downright dominant for Augustana hockey in 2024-25.

Now back for his junior season, the Abbotsford, B.C., native is ready to prove it wasn’t a fluke (cc: @ccha.bsky.social) 👇

My immediate takeaway from the Twins' trade deadline: Hopefully the fire sale is followed by the team sale

Today is a day as good as any to read my five part series about how the Pohlads financially swindled millions for decades, giving us nothing in return.

One last plug: This week I explored this history of the Pohlad Family, who are currently selling the Minnesota Twins. It became so much more than a story of money, but postwar bank fraud, public transit, airline deregulation, and more. Even if you're not a baseball fan, please take a look!

The Pohlad Empire (Part One): Banking On The Future

This week at Twins Daily, we're running a five-part series detailing the history of the business ventures of the Pohlad family. Even as they prepare to sell the Twins after a 40-year ownership, it's a...

Mental health resources are spotty at best in rural communities, and are disproportionately funded by Medicaid. This means federal cuts are likely to hit these already strained areas especially hard. minnesotareformer.com/2025/07/23/m...

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.
