Last year landlords had no problem finding money to bankroll PACs backing anti-renter politicians.

But now Minneapolis' biggest landlords somehow want us to believe keeping immigrant families in their homes is an existential threat to landlord profits.

You might have been surprised to see an ad this week touting my opponent’s record on ICE.

Here’s the truth:

[Josh Martin @JoshMartinMpls]

The Charter Commission is meeting Thursday, April 9 at 4 PM, in Room 350 of the Public Service Center. The meeting is being held to finalize the language of an amendment relating to government structure, including which department heads are subject to council confirmation. (1/5)

[Wedge LIVE!™ @WedgeLIVE]

Josh Martin and I are already planning to do an angry shouty podcast episode devoted to the charter commission's plan to strip the city council of power to confirm mayoral appointees. We're going to get red-faced and use bad language.

@WedgeLIVE I love how vegetarian Lyndale Ave still is but I'm also a biased foodie who lives on Eat Street & shops at the Wedge

Sad news about what the city of Minneapolis is telling sidewalk inspectors is a compliant winter sidewalk: "If sand or salt was placed down, an attempt was made and sidewalk is considered compliant."

Sprinkling salt on an otherwise untouched sidewalk: "an attempt was made"

[Robin4mpls @robin4mpls]

A hostile federal administration means that many people are losing access to Medicaid, food assistance, and other needed programs. Minnesota leaders need to be proactive. It’s time to make the rich pay their fair share.

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Call on the Minneapolis City Council to Pass the Resolution Pressuring European Financial Institutions to Divest from ICE Contractors!. Write one here: https://t.co/sfjX4mhEpJ

Many people thought switching to a strong mayor form of government was a bad idea, that people actually prefer that their council member has leverage to address their concerns. Those people were right.

🚨 UPDATE to story on Rep. Elliott Engen's DUI arrest. He went drinking after skipping out of an Education Finance Committee meeting when they were hearing a bill related to absenteeism.

WCCO investigates: "Are Minneapolis protesters paid, like the Trump administration says?"

"Nobody we talked with says they're paid. And critics will say, 'of course they won't admit it.'"

Proud of the strength @IlhanMN shows every day. Grateful she’s okay💜

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

Queen Ilhan actually charged at that fat loser.

With her grace, poise, and dignity, she shames them.

This is why she drives them crazy.
