There is a very real possibility that the Minnesota Republican "endorsed" candidates for Governor and US Senate will end up finishing the August primary in 3rd place.
Talarico should do the opposite of 2018 Beto and just be super pro gun. He's clearly on the cusp of a winning coalition but he has to be able to convince traditional minded independents that he's spiritually Texan
Bipartisan blowback for Gov. Polis after granting clemency to 2020 election denier Tina Peters:
Colorado AG Phil Weiser (D): "Mind-boggling and wrong as a matter of basic justice."
Colorado SOS Jena Griswold (D): "An affront to democracy, the people of Colorado, and election officials across the country."
Mesa County DA Dan Rubinstein, who prosecuted Peters (R): A "misguided and misunderstood" decision that "undermined accountability and eroded confidence in the integrity of the system."
Matt Crane (R), for the Colorado election clerks association: “furious, disgusted and deeply disappointed" by the "reckless and dangerous message" this sends.
BREAKING: Trump says again that American's financial situations are less important than the Iran war: "That's right, that's a perfect statement, I'd make it again."
This is why Trump is stepping on their necks btw he does not respect people who support him, he absolutely looks down on his base and anyone who bends the knee to him because all it signifies to him is that he has dominated you. That is why the people Trump screws the hardest are his staunchest supporters who keep coming back for more.
@MichaelH_MN Which branch of government do you work for? Does Marbury v. Madison say that a state legislator can declare something unconstitutional? Look, it's fine if you want to announce you are going to violate the law. But stop pretending that your feelings make it legal.
“If the prosecutor is obliged to choose his cases, it follows that he can choose his defendants. Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks he should, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted. In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who has committed it, it is a question of picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him. It is in this realm in which the prosecutor picks some person whom he dislikes or desires to embarrass, or selects some group of unpopular persons and then looks for an offense, that the greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power lies.” —Attorney General Robert Jackson, April 1, 1940
I was just at my national wireless carrier store today and they said all the nearby car dealerships were struggling very badly. Then the cell tech said they also have no business right now. Then we went to a very popular restaurant and it was almost empty. Is anyone paying attention to this?
The following statement has been issued by Chair Alex Plechash regarding US Senate Candidate Royce White.
“The recent reports involving U.S. Senate candidate Royce White and a no-contact order issued by Hennepin County Courts are deeply troubling.
While the Republican Party of Minnesota cannot force any candidate out of a race, we are not going to pretend this is acceptable. Candidates seeking public office must demonstrate sound judgment, behavioral discipline, and respect for the law. These reports raise serious questions about all three.
Mr. White should immediately suspend his campaign, address the personal and legal matters before him, and stop putting Republican voters and activists in the position of defending the indefensible.
The path forward is clear: he should step aside.”
