You did the green tile in the shower?? It’s incredible. One of my favorite little details. Thank you!

Damn we skipped right over the 10 year anniversary. Tough looking back on this and thinking, “Wow, the DNC has even less juice than at peak Fight Song.” youtu.be/YttscNOoAjA?...

It's not fair to say I am taking the city hostage. All they have to do is give me what I want and no one will get hurt. [Kidding — I'm one of three potential swing votes, so not sure why this is the framing. MPRB + City talked more to each other than to me and couldn't agree so here we are.]

A joint letter from @olsenforparks.bsky.social, @brandtmplsp.bsky.social, and myself asking for accountability on MPD overspending ahead of our levy vote this Wednesday. Please read, share, and reach out to your council members if you agree.

This is an extremely important point for the Twin Cities and Minnesota in general — unused urban space and suburban sprawl are extremely costly to maintain and add substantially to the property tax burden.

When asked what would make a sweet New Year, the little kid to Zohran’s left says “Moshiach” which means Messiah in Hebrew. He’s pulling for the rapture in 5787 and brother, we are with you.

Sorry to my friend Regina but complaining about crowds at the state fair is NIMBY behavior. The crowds are the point.

Tough to see people I like and respect having such bad opinions. The lines look long but they move fast. You're sounding like one of the teens who don't want to wait for a seat at Al's!

Maryland's digital advertising tax was struck down by MD Tax Court. It was a good concept but was deemed illegal because it was too narrowly targeted. This is a common problem with goldilocks revenue raisers that emerge from an inherently anti-tax politics. taxfoundation.org/blog/marylan...

Maryland Court Strikes Down Digital Ad Tax
Maryland's digital ad tax has been struck down, with refunds to be paid to taxpayers for five and a half years’ worth of collections.

Yes, I just did the crude math on that. But holding positions vacant on top of that is like a separate phantom cut.

Well that’s why it’s a good thing we don’t have Levy limits. This Hennepin County taxpayer would gladly pay an extra ~0.4% to maintain library service services, or even more to improve them!

This is an awful idea! I understand we’re facing major county cost pressures due to HR1, but cutting from our popular and heavily utilized library system to save 0.4% on the tax levy is bad strategy. Weakens a popular service and doesn’t nearly plug the hole. www.startribune.com/hennepin-cou...

Hennepin County libraries to limit hours and staffing
Rising health costs and uncertain federal funding pushed Hennepin County libraries to propose limiting services.

Dems becoming the party of the status quo is a risky play when the one thing everyone agrees on is that the status quo is irreparably fucked.

A note to every Democrat who thinks they should run on tax cuts to signal economic populism: On Tuesday, 83% of Missouri quietly voted down a proposal to end their income tax.

The tide of authoritarianism is rising all around us. Americans are increasingly desperate and turning on one another while billionaires at the top profit off of our pain. The least they could do is save us a few bucks at the pump.

Because it is my lot in life (and because I love Brad), I knock about 500 doors in Shakopee every election cycle. His annual sweet corn and BLT fundraiser is a good time, and this year I will be donating another classic from Dave the Pie Guy.

My beloved little campaign trailer was lifted off my bike in Standish (in broad daylight!) yesterday. Not a tragedy, but an excuse to post some pictures of the fond memories. She was a key part of the campaign 🫡🫡🫡

Extremely proud of my friend @aishaforward10.com for taking this step to prioritize her mental health. Aisha has given so much to all of us and deserves our full support as she takes time to heal. I know she will return an even stronger champion for the people of this city. We are with you, Aisha!

New York has gotten a taste of principled, effective leadership and they do not want to go back. The rest of the country should take note.
