As a Catholic, like Alito, I think it's so important for you to know how little—how absolutely not at all—your marriage (or your LGBTQ identity) impacts my religious liberty. In fact, refusing to acknowledge your marriage (or your LGBTQ identity) is a grave affront to your innate human dignity.

Loring has 2 ... and that total (of 9 or 10) is a tiny number for a city the size of Minneapolis. For comparison, Fridley has more than that!

The fact that many news orgs are credibly discussing the $5K "dividend" by Trump if GOP wins mid-terms is rage inducing. Of course, no mention of the promised $5K "DOGE dividend" that didn't happen, or the $2K "tariff rebate" everyone was getting. He might as well be promising fairies & pots of gold

Perry: Republicans fought ‘indoctrination.’ Now they’re telling students what to study.
The conservative attack on higher education in states like Iowa is hard to watch. But it also provides an opportunity for blue states like Minnesota.

"Last year was the seventh straight year of record overtime costs (for police); the last time the city stayed within its overtime budget was 2018." Interesting fact: 2018 was also the first year Jacob Frey took office as mayor of Minneapolis. www.startribune.com/mayor-frey-2...

Minneapolis mayor proposes millions in cuts, over 100 job cuts and 11.3% property tax increase
That would be the biggest property tax increase in Minneapolis in at least 26 years. The owner of a median-valued home of $351,400 would pay $409 more a year.

My sample may have been too short to be a good test, but straight-forward, informative writing using common language/what others have written is kind of how AI writes. Not really a surprise it would "judge" that style of writing as being done by AI.
