This state and its “leadership” is pathetic, culpable and possibly/probably complicit. And our journalism has become tribal to not even want to dig or cover brazen stories like this

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

@MatthewHLeach Congrats on the new gig up here. As a STL transplant living in Minneapolis, I’ve followed your work since the Cards beat days. Twins fans are lucky… they got a great one!

@baseball_ref Is there a “Total WAR by Birth Day” chart? Totally not scientific but it’d be interesting to see if there were any trends

@MLBcathedrals @ScottLauber And if it’s like last year, we were there in the stands watching the ball bounce off the outfield turf like on a trampoline. They literally were hopping over outfielders during BP

@NerdsOnTheBat All 4 are outside the LA / NY media bubbles and not named Acuña Jr.

ESPN is currently on in the airport, they’ve had 50:1 coverage of Draymond Green getting ejected for the 1 bajillionth time over MLB Opening Day. Feel bad for Tim Kurkjian.

No marketing, no name recognition

A brilliant retired lawyer from Minnesota, Albert T. Goins, has given me permission to quote this excerpt from his latest observations about Mr. Trump’s willingness to to give aid and support to those who would attack our allies:

“Perhaps, Mr. Trump forgot (if he ever knew) that our international obligations and treaties—such as those we undertook as members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization—are themselves the supreme law of the land as recognized at Article VI of our Constitution. 

As the so-called supremacy clause states in relevant part: 

“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land….” Article VI, Clause 2 of the U. S. Constitution.

Now, Mr. Trump’s inane remarks are likely well with the zone of protected political speech under our First Amendment rights, but his South Carolina statement evinces Trump’s fundamental unfitness to serve as President—and reveals his willingness to turn our treaty obligations into a seamy political ‘protection racket.’

And, Trump’s claims that he would encourage an adversary to attack an ally based on his personal view that they were ‘delinquent’ in making financial contributions to that alliance raise more serious concerns. 

Donald Trump’s statements in South Carolina may not themselves rise to the level of an insurrection, but they clearly reveal the fact that if he regains office Mr. Trump is poised to unravel the binding obligations which the Constitution has imposed upon every  president from Washington to Biden.”

Trump and Biden are terrible choices. There's another candidate still running, still sharp and not insurrectionist @nikkihaley
