Has anybody tried linking the song so all the morally inferior bubble dwellers who don't know it can listen to it and join the apparent ranks of Real Americans Who Get It? What's that? The point was Pop Culture Superiorty Discourse all along? Cool. Cool.

My statement on the developing situation regarding Mayor Her.

Allegations are not dispositive, and there is much that we do not yet know about what occurred between Mayor Her, senior members of city leadership, Chief Henry, and other members of the Saint Paul Police Department. The report prepared by outside counsel of the workplace conduct investigation into Mayor Her’s behavior has not been made public. The City Council has only seen the Mayor’s administration’s two-page summary of that report, prepared by a department she oversees. The allegations in Chief Henry’s complaint have yet to be adjudicated in legal proceedings.

There are, however, a few things that we do know. The allegations against Mayor Her that were made public this week are deeply troubling. They must be taken seriously by the public, the legal system, and the City Council. We also know that the Mayor’s administration’s own summary of the investigation says that the Mayor engaged in “offensive and inappropriate behavior,” “created an uncomfortable work environment for City employees,” and “sent inappropriate text messages” to at least two City employees. The Mayor was engaging in this behavior while our City was occupied by federal forces last winter, a moment when we desperately needed steady, focused leadership in City Hall.

Saint Paul city employees—no matter their title—should never question whether they will be treated with professionalism and respect by their supervisors and the city’s leadership. Our taxpayers should be able to trust that their money will be spent on essential services, not on lawsuits brought on by inappropriate workplace conduct. And every single person in our City should feel confident that the highest levels of City Hall are functioning effectively and relentlessly focused on making life better for Saint Paulites.

Any person accused of wrongdoing deserves to have a fair, impartial legal process determine the facts of what happened and assess the appropriate legal consequences. I respect that process, and do not intend to comment on the merits or specific claims in any current or future litigation. However, the existence of a legal process does not mean either the public or the Council is prevented from demanding better. As both a resident of this City and a member of the Saint Paul City Council, it is clear to me that we need and deserve more from our Mayor.

That starts with transparency. The full report from Resolute Law must be released. Just as urgently, the Mayor must explain how she is currently able to lead the Saint Paul Police Department as the chief executive for Saint Paul. A police force that does not have meaningful leadership from the people’s elected representative is not a tolerable or sustainable state of affairs. We need to know—now—what has and will be done to ensure that that leadership and oversight exists.

Trans folks have every right to deny their vote to candidates who disrespect their very existence. The consequences of that may well be more power for Trump + his party for the next two years. And yes, a validation of the more anti-trans party. No matter: Their vote, their choice. I hope it's blue

Despite missing almost two months due to injury, Ryan Jeffers leads all Twins players in WAR and is tied for 3rd among MLB catchers. Not extending him the QO this offseason would be criminal in my mind and would undo a lot of goodwill that Tom Pohlad’s been trying to build.

The election in the eastern German state of Sachsen-Anhalt is overwhelmingly a turnout story. Turnout is way up from the last state parliament election, held five years ago: 78.1% vs. 60.3%. And the newly mobilized voters overwhelmingly broke for the far-right AfD, which got almost 2/3 of them.

Election participation: 78.1% (2021: 60.3%); source: Infratest dimap, as of 7:34PM

Voter switching (preliminary) from not voting to AfD, 170,000; to CDU, 32,000; to SPD, 16,000; to Linke, 16,000; to BSW, 10,000; to Grüne, 10,000; to FDP, 2,000. From infratest dimap as of 7:35 PM, September 6, 2026.

Impossible to overstate how important Dolly Parton was/is to American music. Had so many hits she couldn’t remember if she wrote “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” on the same day or the same week. The literacy project alone would make her a cultural titan. She should be on American currency.
