Minnesota has the 4th most road miles of any state, and fewer than 6 million people to pay for those roads. An incredible achievement

Governor Tim Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov · 1d

From Duluth to New Ulm, my administration is showing up before the ribbon cutting to keep our roads ranked among the best in the nation.

The newly designed Twin Ports Interchange is just one piece of a much bigger effort to make sure every Minnesotan is safe when they travel.

“We’d been hearing how good this front was all week,” Darrisaw said, “and got tired of it.”

Darrisaw said he "listened to his body" and exited the game before the fourth quarter. O'Connell commended him for playing all 76 snaps in Dublin, a workload that left him needing extra time off this week

Seeing an ad for an electric car that charges for 178 miles in 15 minutes and I’m thinking, as someone who drives cross country, that sucks & isn’t a selling point

Vikings QB Carson Wentz is questionable to return with a shoulder issue. He went into the locker room with a minute of game clock left before half.

That means the 2nd half could be Max Brosmer's. The Vikings waived Desmond Ridder yesterday; they have no third emergency QB.

@andrewkrammer.bsky.social why are Vikings running behind Skule instead of Darrisaw in important situations? Does KOC not know who is on the field?

Why don't we have more good journalism?

Mostly, because people are unwilling to pay for it.

We have, collectively, gotten the idea that information should be free for the reading.

You can't complain about lousy reporting & analysis and also gripe about paywalls.

As someone disenfranchised from the endorsing process because my legitimate delegates were not seated, I applauded the decision. I’m not even a Frey guy and I see the convention was corrupted. Incompetence? Cheating? For others to determine. The city DFL cannot be trusted

electricity prices are up right after trump and republicans in congress slashed energy subsidies in the tax bill

why isn’t it adding up to evidence of a political winner for democrats yet?

simple: lowering electricity prices is really hard to do & voters don’t really believe dems can fix it

Why Electricity Prices Might Not Be a Political Win for Democrats

Voters are mad at Trump over rising bills, but assigning blame is complicated.

Part of what this reveals is what US labor has been arguing since the late 19th C. At will employment impedes political democracy. If u can lose ur livelihood for ur (non violent & non harassing) beliefs, then being an engaged citizen is all but impossible.
