Graham Platner's definition of working class: “My definition of working class these days is essentially anybody who makes money from wages,” he said. “If you work for a living and you go out and put in hours and you pay taxes just like everyone else, I think that’s quite fair.”
Minneapolis leaders are talking about a "working-class agenda" but the infighting is slowing down any possible agenda that could improve the city's economy. https://t.co/wTPp1aL0EH

Josh Bassais wants Hennepin County to stop the political theater and do its job, housing, transit, HCMC, and public safety, and he's challenging a 12-year incumbent to make it happen.

I sat down with Hennepin County Commissioner Marion Greene to talk about why solving Minneapolis's housing crisis and public safety challenges runs through Hennepin County — not just City Hall. https://t.co/3mPCe5WTbE

Is it a coincidence that the FBI is conducting fraud raids of Somali businesses this morning and @GovTimWalz is giving his State of the State speech tonight? I do not think it is.
Minneapolis restaurants are closing at an alarming rate — and Chef David Fhima says polarization is partly to blame, with diners avoiding the city over politics. Restaurants have always been where division ends, and Minneapolis needs to remember that. https://t.co/QUvqDK3edG
I sat down with Ward 8 Council Member Soren Stevenson to talk youth crime, the Barnette nomination rejection, drug paraphernalia decriminalization, and Minneapolis's finances — full interview on the newsletter. https://t.co/UjmEhxUTDQ
When going viral matters more than governing, everybody loses. My conversation with Shannon Watson of Majority in the Middle on how social media is making it harder for Minnesota lawmakers to do their jobs, and what we can do about it. https://t.co/iQffaYOank
Unemployment above the national average, private sector jobs shrinking, and commercial property values down 28% in a decade. It's time to rebuild, and that starts with making #Minneapolis a place where people can find good jobs. https://t.co/6ttaXj389x
"Minneapolis is at an inflection point. To resuscitate this city, residents, elected officials, and business leaders must reckon with what the numbers are telling us." ~ Terry White @bttrmpls:

The Minneapolis City Council is navigating internal tension, characterized by a failed veto override on eviction policy alongside the approval of substantial funding for rental and small business assistance. https://t.co/fmmW1NfzFZ #minneapolis
@jacob_mauren@sam_schulie_1 I am planning to write about it for Wednesday. #60 on tomorrow’s Committee of the Whole agenda is about normalizing relations with Cuba.
In this interview with Kevin Norman, we discuss the changes in Uptown over the past decade and his effort to organize community action through Uptown United. #Minneapolis https://t.co/qt0ODAyE2S
