I notice that right away. It just makes his point hit home (and you know it is directed at his opponent...not some unnamed thing) so much better.

I wonder how nice Lisa Demuth & Michele Tafoya feel about the president inciting a pogrom on my neighbors. Will the Strib political desk look up from its civility politics and push them, noting Demuth effectively invited ICE here before or will they just accept an email from Tafoya’s human shields?

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

They have no plan outside of bluster/outrage. I don't think one of them has enough smarts to actually do real policy. There have been enough voters who love their drama. Hopefully that ends soon.

For some reason I got a text mentioning this poll from some group fundraising for tafoya. Maybe they wanted some crap poll to show its close for fundraising? Can't believe Peggy wouldn't win this race.

Remember when they kicked an entire girl’s softball team out of the championship game because a player posted a private Snapchat where she was flipping off the camera? It’s funny how they never worry about ruining girl’s futures.

Insulting the pope at times doesn’t play well where you find many Irish German catholic roots like the Midwest. That may be an anger/angle worth a look.

The district was stuck dumping so much money into the building it hindered operating the school for educating the kids. It was just inefficient and cumbersome. Merging with a neighboring district and building a new school was the best answer. It just wasn't working anymore.

The buildings in MPLS don't house nearly as many kids as they were built for. We live and raised our kids in a rural N MN town that has lost student population since the 80s. Class sizes dropped from +200 to 50-70 over that time.

Re: MPLS school mergers... I'm not sure I'm much help, or that it clarifies anything, or that it is comparable, but a decrease in enrollment = less $/ pupil. Plus, when less bodies are in a building you have empty buildings to maintain. That is expensive!

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

It's honestly so crazy to me that we're facing a technological revolution that could displace millions of jobs in the middle of a housing affordability crisis and every day we talk about whether a trans woman is playing sports or if someone has a non-Anglo name.

“Last winter, Minnesotans banded together and rejected the harm caused by ill-informed, unplanned and costly federal immigration overreach. As DHS takes steps to reopen Appleton as a federal facility, our response should remain the same: Minnesota is not the place for this.”

They know voters hate this shit. So they wait until Blanche has the votes for Collins to come out against him. So she can claim to be a moderate. So she gets reelected. So she can spend the next two years voting for more Todd Blanches.

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

One of the worst things about the Senate’s attempted Fauci show trial is how the supposed evidence against him is early in COVID he considered multiple hypotheses, then increasingly ruled some unlikely as evidence came in. The objection is he did science. Fundamentally that is what’s under attack.
