@JessRMyers Amen.

Joining MPR and @CathyWurzer at 8:20 this morning. Minnesota and Davos have dominated the political headlines, but I wonder if these little beauties may also be a topic

[Todd Rapp @toddrapp]

@adamwren @dkanninen @kenmartin73 He had unprecedented success in MN keeping the party operation focused on winning. Seems to be an underappreciated skill.

Wow, a guy mentions Charles Weed in a tweet, and look what shows up! https://t.co/QOLSBMiwOS

Hi, Xworld. I missed you. Currently at the Alexandria MN @culvers with 13 other cars that have drivers who have paid and are waiting for their orders. Another 16 people inside with the same problem. To use my friend Charles Weed’s line, it’s #agonizinglyslowfood

@shannonkwatson @LisaDemuthMN @melissahortman @ChasAnderson Really fun event. The informal one-on-one discussions afterwards were also enjoyable. You created a good format for analyzing a unique political era.

Nothing makes a day go by quicker than responding to messages from people I know who received a fake DropBox email from me. I’m sure it is improving their days also. Do hackers receive bonuses from their bosses for particularly annoying acts of treachery?

@duluthnews An extraordinarily kind person. Her legislative districts were fertile ground for the ongoing tension between how the DFL was becoming more progressive and much of rural Minnesota was not. Which made talking politics with Mary very instructive.

Longtime legislator, teacher Mary Murphy dies following stroke https://t.co/3d6oKYaKqb

@ActorAaronBooth Always a possibility. Maybe more likely when summer special sessions become a threat.

@DanPollockLGN The busts in this Hall of Fame likely include “Tom Rukavina” and “Pat Garofalo.”

In 1978, when the MN House was last 67-67, members could look across the partisan aisle and see others who shared geographies, social ideologies and economic philosophies with them. Today, that is more rare. How will the breakthroughs occur? #mnpolitics

Required reading for anyone following the 2024 legislative elections in MN.

[Chas Anderson @ChasAnderson]

Just getting started with @toddrapp @TomCrann @Stowydad on @MPRnews talking all things election 2024! Tune in to https://t.co/gp55hX3vv9

[Todd Rapp @toddrapp]

About to jump on MPR! All the comforts of home here in the studio.

[Todd Rapp @toddrapp]

Just a little over 10 hours left for voting in Minnesota today. Afterwards, join @ChasAnderson @TomCrann @Stowydad and me on @MPRnews for live analysis of the vote totals as they are being reported. The boss says we should expect to be on duty ‘til at least 2 AM.

[Todd Rapp @toddrapp]

Just 24 hours until … @ChasAnderson and I report for duty with @TomCrann @Stowydad and the great team at @MPRpolitics for Election Night coverage. A few predictions, lots of analysis, probably too much coffee.

[Todd Rapp @toddrapp]

Many thanks to @MNUtilityInvest for inviting me to share thoughts about #politics24 at its Annual Meeting. As always, the questions were the most fun: AI, national popular vote and the breadth of election fraud were high on the list of topics of interest to the members.

[Todd Rapp @toddrapp]

Definitely bucket-listing tonight with Meaghan.
