Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.

Days before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

Edmonton’s broad upzoning has (so far) added $15 million to the city’s yearly property tax revenue.

Jacob Loo Dawang@jacobdawang.com · yesterday

🧵 NEW POST: Edmonton’s $15M infill property tax dividend Matching permits to assessment data shows that small-scale infill from just 2024-26 will grow the tax base by $1.8B, and revenues by $15M. That's equivalent to a 0.7% property tax rate increase! #yegcc www.jacobdawang.com/blog/2026/pr...

Whoa. Yep, confirmed. I'll have to remove him from both my Senate page *and* my #BlackJobs26 page.

It was good to meet my congressman for the first time today! We had a productive, civil dialogue at Farmfest about our views on important farm policy issues and I appreciated the chance to highlight why I believe I'd be able to deliver more for our rural communities in Congress.

Got a chance to meet up with Will Westmoreland at #Farmfest today! Thanks to Ellen Perrault for the pic. #MN07 #WeCanDoBetter #RuralRevival

DFL CD7 candidate Erik Osberg called for systemic shifts to bring young people back to farming at Farmfest: "We need to incentivize young farmers." Farmers over 65 "should be retired, not working." He praised teaching farming in public schools.

"Far too many members of Congress... seem to be content to stay in Washington, away from their constituents." MN DFL CD6 candidate Doug Chapin called out U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer (R) at #Farmfest for skipping the event and dodging rural voters in his district.

DFL CD8 candidate Trina Swanson called out Republicans at Farmfest for prioritizing corporate profits and tech data centers over working families facing soaring energy bills: "Follow the money ... Google paid $0 in federal taxes last year."

After U.S. Rep. Stauber (R) claimed Trump holds fraudsters accountable, Swanson fired back, saying Trump: "... Pardoned a man that committed $1.3 billion worth of Medicaid fraud... Meanwhile, we (MN) have one of the lowest Medicaid fraud rates in the entire country." #Farmfest

DFL CD2 candidate Matt Little disagrees with telehealth as a fix for rural farmers' mental health crises: "I can't envision my grandpa hopping on a Zoom... Let's pass Medicare for All so everybody can get the care they need." #Farmfest

DFL candidate Erik Osberg called out US Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN) at Farmfest for defending status quo farm policy: "We need to make sure that we're leveling the playing field so that family farms have just as much opportunity as the big corporate farm." #Farmfest

Rep. Tom Emmer (R) is a no-show for today's #farmfest Congressional candidate forum. His CD 6 DFL opponent Doug Chapin is there.

DFL CD8 candidate Trina Swanson took aim at Republican trade policies at Farmfest, calling out the shift away from domestic agriculture: "We are now a net importer of food. That needs to change so that we can support our farmers and... sell their goods." #Farmfest

DFL CD6 candidate Doug Chapin blasted federal policy at Farmfest for putting unnecessary burdens on family farmers: He slammed "nonsensical tariffs" and "engaging in wars of adventure that drive up input costs." #Farmfest

"I wouldn't run my farm the way we're running this country right now." DFL CD7 candidate Erik Osberg blasted Trump's trade policies at Farmfest, warning that volatile foreign relations are destroying overseas business for American agriculture. #Farmfest

🔴Emmer skipped MN FarmFest “Jake Sherman/Punchbowl News spoken w/ Emmer since Stauber’s comment ❌”he is not gravely ill, ❌nor did he sound like it.” Emmer had leg surgery in April ♿️seen moving around Washington in a wheelchair. did Fox Biz remote interview on Mon…no indication of distress”

Rob Pollard@robpollard45.bsky.social · 23h ago

www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0... "Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News posted on social media that he had spoken with Emmer since Stauber’s comment and said “he is not gravely ill, nor did he sound like it.”" What a bunch of goons.

Minnesota will stand as a firewall against any and all attacks on reproductive freedom. We were the first state to establish an ironclad right to abortion after the Dobbs decision and we will remain an island of freedom for those seeking to make their own healthcare decisions.

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · yesterday

Acting AG Todd Blanche plans to outlaw abortion nationwide: We're working to get solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state. We're putting policies in place so that states can't do things like mail abortion drugs. We will have victory, and it will be permanent.
