Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

The short answer is that their boss, the Mayor, is too weak to hold them accountable

Hey Minneapolis. Can someone explain it to me like I’m an idiot: why is MPD allowed to just spend money they don’t have and then say “we’re over budget.” And there’s never any questions that the city has to pay?

MPD has defunded the city of Minneapolis.

Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com · yesterday

More than 100 city employees could be laid off in Minneapolis in the first major layoffs in 16 years as the city faces a $33 million budget gap.

Sure would be a shame if the City had spent decades building its entire economic development policy around Downtown commercial landlords who also happened to be the main political allies of the Mayor who got caught holding the bag when the entire paradigm of work permanently shifted 🫣

We have 11 family members sleeping at our house this week, including 4 toddlers, who came all the way from England, Utah & Detroit AND this is the week our geo-thermal air conditioning failed. There is no easy fix. We need a new system. Wait time for parts--four weeks. Pray for us!

Every other Minnesota Democrat in Congress knew better than to vote for Laken Riley. Even “Bipartisan Queen” Amy Klobuchar knew better. Minnesota deserves better than Angie Craig.

It should be noted MPD has a dismal solve rate for shootings. Prosecutors can't prosecute cases they never get.

The bullshit campaign rolls on. In Chicago, Shotspotter was so "proven" to drive racist policing (www.macarthurjustice.org/chicago-agre...) that the city settled a lawsuit and ended its contract. What happened after Chicago cancelled its contract?

To date, immigration officials have shot and killed 11 people, including two Minnesotans. Across the country, they operate with no respect for human life, the law, or consequences. There's no reforming this agency. Rip it apart.

You're supposed to represent us Californians, and this sure doesn't: most of us here will remember Graham's selling out to Trump even though he knew better and his enthusiasm for harming others at home and abroad. He was fully on board with so many lies, so much killing.

You and @warren.senate.gov and every other absolute moron lamenting the death of a monster: You are supposed to represent your constituents and not the Senator Club. You make it clear every day you shouldn't have that job because you don't take it seriously. Quit and go write your memoirs.

angie craig’s instagram story features a farmer flying the old minnesota state flag, 2 years after we adopted a new one the last thing we need in 2026 is a senator who wants to drag the DFL rightward and appeal to the regressive culture warriors who use the old flag as a symbol

Amy Klobuchar's long memorial of Lindsey Graham on Twitter is another piece of evidence that she thinks being a senator is just a fun job anybody would be lucky to have, and not an important office that requires strong principles about making people's lives better.

Amy Klobuchar voted to confirm Duffy as Sec. Of Transportation despite the fact that Duffy is an open climate-change denier, among other creepy views. But for Amy, it’s always about appearing “bi-partisan” and “centrist.”

Graham Platner, after a 20 minute conversation with Mitch McConnell, has decided to suspend his campaign.

Certain political types excuse Graham Platner as an immature young man. But Graham is 41 Fucking Years Old. If he was a woman, he'd be considered middle-aged and Not Hot Enough. And if a woman had done one tenth of what he's been credibly accused of, she'd be considered a lunatic psychopath. 1/

Imagine "pausing" reconstruction on a 90 year old street so that we can spend 5-10 more years with questions of a potential reconstruction hanging over our heads, hoping it doesn't collapse into a sinkhole. Instead of ripping the bandaid off and getting it done in 18 months (not 3 years).

Wedge LIVE!™@wedge.live · 4w ago

Uptown Association telling people to show up to city hall tomorrow to ask for a "pause" on Lyndale Ave reconstruction. Dubious list of reasons. Scaring their audience by saying it will take 3 years, when it's more like 18 months.

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.

there is a rich vein of "if we perform enough of a caricature of masculinity that's gotta make republicans stop calling us pussies" anxiety in Democratic politics that started with Truman and has not stopped for even a single election cycle since

Toxic masculinity of no responsibility: "talk about Platner being "deserving of redemption" is that Platner has never really acknowledged what he did wrong in the first place Paths to forgiveness and redemption exist But like, you have to earnestly get that you messed up" bsky.app/profile/glon...

Standard PSA: The Strib is owned by 85-year-old billionaire/and former GOP state senator Glen Taylor who said he bought the paper in 2014 to turn it in a more right-wing direction. So this op-Ed is totally on brand. In Strib world, DFLers should always be tentative, canned & cautious—just like AmyK.

A reminder that in 2024 Gallego was texting that Democrats were "not allowing men to be men and women to be hot. We used to be the party of sex [sic] drugs and rock and roll...Now Dem women look like Dem men and Dem men look like women." Sen. Gallego may have skeletons too. Bad vibe for this guy.
