They started texting with a 16-year-old. After two years, they offered to sell him a gun. They consider that "stopping a terrorist attack." And they are calling it heroic. What an absolute embarrassment.

Differences in housing policy post-Surge couldn't be more stark. Both councils passed a temporary 60-day notice requirement for nonpayment evictions. Minneapolis: the mayor vetoed and council centrists refused to override. On pace for record evictions. St. Paul passed it veto-proof. Down 15% YOY

I never understood this. If you picked 10,000 people at random maybe 10 would know who Piker is. Maybe. Republicans attack like this because they are toxically online and think everyone else is too. Democrats join in because they reflexively act in fear of any Republican attack no matter how stupid.
