Donald Trump has brought his lawlessness to Minnesota, sending ICE agents here to divide and terrorize our communities.

But House DFLers will always stand with our neighbors.

We are Minnesotans. And Minnesotans have each other’s backs.

Evidence that administrations that reject WFH harm efficiency.

Not Incentivized Yet Efficient: Working From Home in the Public Sector 51 Pages Posted: 21 Oct 2024 Last revised: 20 Feb 2025 Alessandra Fenizia The George Washington University Tom Kirchmaier London School of Economics - Centre for Economic Performance Date Written: January 14, 2025 Abstract This paper studies whether working from home (WFH) affects workers' performance in public sector jobs. Studying public sector initiatives allows us to establish baseline estimates on the impact of WFH net of incentives. Exploiting novel administrative data and plausibly exogenous variation in work location, we find that WFH increases productivity by 12%. These productivity gains are primarily driven by reduced distractions. They are not explained by differences in quality, shift length, or task allocation. The productivity gains more than double when tasks are assigned by the supervisor. Keywords: working from home, productivity, public sector

Guys, I figured it out. The key to downtown St. Paul revitalization is a weekly anti-Trump rally.

The few bars and restaurants that are left are all full. Everybody is friendly. The place is hoppin.

Keep this letter from @meghscase.bsky.social in your back pocket as the mayoral election gears start grinding: Mayor Jacob Frey is the one who bears responsibility for public safety in Minneapolis
As a 20-plus year resident of Minneapolis following the conversation around violence interrupters as part of the Neighborhood Safety Department, this recent article was very concern-ing. Under Mayor Jacob Frey, millions of dollars earmarked for these programs after George Floyd's murder were spent with no documentation of plans to reduce violence or results that demonstrate an effect on community violence. The article also failed to mention Mayor Frey's responsibility for the program and its massive budget. In 2021, the mayor lobbied for the strong mayor amendment that passed and gave him more authority than any other mayor in the city's history. He has sole authority over public safety in our city. This is ultimately his responsibility and he is using his staff as shields from accountability. Members of the City Council who have repeatedly asked for information were right in doing so. Their efforts were usually met with a "pass the buck" approach, giving council members no confidence that the city can deliver. That's why some members introduced getting assistance from Hennepin County, which has had success with youth violence interruption programs. Three things are clear to me: Minneapolis residents aren't getting the safety we deserve; the people charged with making us safe seem to want to operate in the dark with no transparency or accountability; it is ultimately the mayor's job to ensure the safety of its residents, but he has no vision and no plan.

My colleagues and I, Democratic AGs, are suing the Trump administration over his unlawful and abusive freeze on federal grants and loans. OMB thinks that federal grants and loans have to be “aligned with the president’s” whims. Naw. That’s ridiculous.

“People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider’s webs. It’s not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go.” -@crowsfault
