DEAD ON.

Minnesota is not a state where one faction gets everything it wants. Winning here requires persuading people, tolerating disagreement, and accepting that no candidate will perfectly reflect every preference or strategy.

But at times, it felt as though every disagreement became a morality play and every strategic difference was treated like betrayal.

Do we actually want to win?

Or are we more interested in proving who belongs?

Not every disagreement has to become a loyalty test.

Not every compromise is surrender.

Not every imperfect candidate is a fraud.

I walked into the convention hopeful, believing I was participating in something important. And I found myself wondering how many first-time delegates drove home thinking the same thing:

Nevermind.

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.

Does anyone know who got up and made this motion at the convention?

I need to know if it was a saboteur or a fool.

You should have voted to convict the scorpion in its impeachment trial, Senator Frog

[Blorida @BloridaOfficial]

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

Most important quote about politics in the last 15 years

[Marshall Cohen @MarshallCohen]

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."

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

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.

We’re so lucky to have a President who is always looking out for the American people.

It’s literally God’s oldest rule not to do this.

@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.

@thechosenberg I'm supposed to be mad at the landlord? Why?

[Ken Dilanian @KDilanianMSNOW]

“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?
