I stopped by cuz I’d heard all the annoying neighbors got shut out, and wow — it’s like 2013 again here. Great to catch up with a bunch of old friends!

I mailed. And I tracked. Stuff could have gone wrong. But it didn't. I was ready to switch to a Plan B. But I don't need to. https://t.co/XgrQSGtcN6

Minnesotans seem eager to vote this year. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

After one week of absentee voting, 12,322 people have already cast their ballots (8,403 in person and 3,919 by mail).

That’s an increase of 8.3% over the vote total (11,380) at the same point during the 2022 mid-term election.

@JamesWardenMN @woodburynewsnet Thanks! There are a number of nonprofit start-ups in the Twin Cities, filling in for shuttered newspapers: @CarverCoNews @EPLocalNews & Prior Lake News Compass

[Susan Kent @SusanKentMN]

Local news is critical but threatened, which is why I'm proud of what we're doing @woodburynewsnet. The Woodbury city council passed a moratorium on data centers last night, and we've got the story this morning. Support local news! https://t.co/SHK9TrCpTW

Hail -- some quarter-size -- in north Woodbury

This is a jaw-dropping, horrific surrender document complete with hundreds of billions in reparations. It is the predictable result of incompetent negotiation and the foolhardy strategic catastrophe of starting and pursuing this disastrous war. The U.S. will not soon recover from this, the biggest national security blunder in decades.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%.

Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter.

Wow. Minnesota now has 3,866,086 registered voters, an all-time high so far as I can tell. Given population growth, new records do get set repeatedly. But normally not in June of a midterm year. Normally new peaks coincide with presidential elections. This is a new phenomenon.

Minnesota’s own Rep Tom Emmer nodding along in agreement. Noted. I bet Doug @ChapinForMN6 thinks Congressional reps shouldn’t be trading stocks!

“We have to have sympathy. We need to at least let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to take care of their family.”

- House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on lawmakers trading stocks.

@lucasvaugh91298 You obviously know nothing about the bill so you might want to quit showing off your ignorance. It’s not just a “gun bill.” It includes significant mental health support and school safety aid.

[Susan Kent @SusanKentMN]

@lucasvaugh91298 That’s not how legislating works. Refusing to receive a message from the other body — just hiding in a desk drawer? — is political cowardice. It’s no big deal to receive the message. Not even a vote. Then she can just not take it up & vote down DFL procedural moves. Beyond weak.

This is GLORIOUS

David Letterman & Stephen Colbert on the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theatre bringing back the classic @Letterman routine one last time

This is how you go out, @StephenAtHome! 😂

And may @CBS implode literally the same way without you

Minnesota Rep. Nathan Coulter provided an excellent explanation yesterday on the floor of the House as to why it would be a mistake to entirely remove the record of a prior voter registration by someone who is now deceased.
