She better. Cause if she only gets blown out by 45 points, Tafoya could win the statewide race. And having driven all over the metro area for softball tournaments this fall, you’re seeing the signs for her in the exurbs

I live in Minnesota and I see an awful lot of Tafoya lawn signs out there and surprisingly few Flanagan ones. And I don’t live in farm country.

Or that voters won’t completely swing back in another 2 years with our incredibly short memories. History is riddled with examples of this (see Philippines Duterte family)

In 30 days, we have a choice, Minnesota: Do you want a Senator who will work for you to lower costs, end the illegal war in Iran, and hold ICE accountable? Or do you want another Senator for Trump?

Absolutely! Same thing with power generation. All over the globe we see a rapid rise in renewable energy and electric vehicles, except the US. But our delays are political, not technological. And the US, no matter its size, can’t stop these advancements from taking place (albeit slower)

There used to be a time when members of congress used to hire the very best and brightest to work for them. Now they hire based solely on number of online followers, and this is the result

How can car companies cheer these moves when the world is moving toward electric and fuel efficient vehicles with or without them? Any gain is short term and comes at the expense of falling further behind in the global market.

I’ve always prided myself on being a good cook. But I’ve got to admit, there are no tougher critics than your kids, who declare after trying a meal cooked for hours (that has everything they like in it), “Well it’s not my favorite” or “It’s ok, I guess”

Having driven across the suburbs multiple weekend for softball games, I’m surprised at the number of Tafoya signs I’ve seen. More than Flanagan. The concern is despite all public discontent, people revert back to their tribal habits when it really counts.

And every salaried/hourly worker who gets a paycheck has their taxes removed, so we pay up front. Whereas the wealthy, who rely on capital gains and value added, pay an army of accountants and lawyers to come up with gimmicks and avoid paying their share in the end

Who are you kidding? If Schumer said he wasn’t willing to put aside his differences and refused to work with Trump, people here would still storm his office and demand he refuse harder!

I support the stance, but in reality it’s exactly what people like Vought want. He could care less about public perception. As far as he’s concerned less press (no matter how neutered) is less intrusion on his dismantling of the government.

Well it’s hard to break the #NFL scoring average when you only score 3 points

I’m rather impressed how far kids kitchens have come from the fake food of yore (eg plastic banana, hotdog, and fish shaped fish). What’s next, Melissa and Doug sous vide? Vacuum seal your wooden food before placing it in the child safe warm water bath

Haha, lots of Tyrod Taylor games that you’d say, “Look the score at the end was pretty close!” even though the game was done with 18 minutes left

Looks like that’s an eel under the nest, a sign of a healthy ecosystem. And it swam all the way from the Sargasso Sea to be dropped half eaten by that eagle, so that makes it the most well traveled piece of carrion you’ll see this week

NSF has reduced the research budget for all atmospheric, ocean, and earth sciences by ~80%. 80%! A lot of us will not be conducting new research or training new students for the foreseeable future.

Clarification: I read your statement as “Lying in public is bad [for Tom Emmer]” and the answer is absolutely not, as he absurdly faces zero consequences for doing so. Nor do any of the other Trump officials. But is lying to the public bad in general, of course it is, no disagreement there.

Jesse Berman @jesseberman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

How is an announcer worth anywhere close to that? Is there even a population where the deciding factor for NFL fans to tune into MNF is the presence/absence of Joe Buck?

Jesse Berman @jesseberman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Gotta disagree. I believe that one of the most harmful and lasting legacies of the Trump admin will be that not only is lying on national TV not bad, but it is normalized and accepted by the media with minimal, if any, pushback

They are supposed to be doing the jobs they are getting paid by taxpayers to do, not using their positions and government resources to fly around the country doing partisan political campaign events.

Solar panels too can provide shade, plus understory grazing and natural habitat. It’s clear that renewable energy can be integrated into modern farming, plus provide a valuable income source. Glad some folks are opening their eyes to the opportunity.

Great recap, Joe! My kid had a double header softball game that started 5 minutes before kickoff and I got home with 18 seconds left in the game, so had to listen on XM. Chris Brown doesn’t talk about cats jumping on his desk.
