I keep thinking about Flanagan mentioning the fact that so many of our kids in Minnesota now have ACE (adverse childhood experiences) scores because of the things the federal government did here, and how she will work on those kids' behalf in DC. It's amazing to hear someone plainly say that.

Will Kendall Qualls finally stop running for things now? Who knows, maybe he has a humiliation kink. I guess who am I to yuk his yum.

Voter 359 at W1-P7 at 11:45AM today.

remarkable that the United States has made it official policy to only accept white refugees and people still think it's up for debate whether or not they're white nationalists

This is possibly the strongest endorsement possible.

Trump on El-Sayed: "If he succeeds, the Dumocrats will gain 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen, many Electoral and Popular Votes, a stacked Supreme Court with 23 Justices, and I will be, sadly, despite the great job we are doing, the last Republican President!"

This thread. Wow. This guy is an actual psychopath that is fucking with his child's comfort and happiness. He should be in a prison never being allowed near this kid again. He's torturing her. Dems should absolutely blast this out. Every parent can relate to a situation with a kids stuffy.

NEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)

Sometimes I think about how careful I have always been to consider if something I do or say will in any way jeopardize my law license or the profession and then I look at what Republicans lawyers do daily out in the open and I feel somewhat stupid.

Chris Madel, former GOP candidate for governor and the attorney representing St. Paul police in their sexual harassment allegations against Mayor Kaohly Her, sent this text to Star Tribune columnist Rochelle Olsen after her column questioning the motivation of the allegations:

Northeast Minneapolis and nearby friends - do you know of Bob’s Produce Ranch? It’s in Fridley and has some of the best produce (particularly peaches) that I’ve ever had. They even tell you where in Colorado your particular peaches are from week to week!

Cheryl Reeve’s shirt today:

Just a reminder amidst all of the news in Minnesota this week - Mayor Her endorsed Angie Craig. So...just yet another reason to vote for Peggy Flanagan for Senate!

Yes! This! I've discussed this with a number of people. You're not getting the excitement you need without someone like LG Flanagan on the ballot.

Fancy Pants 🎩@farnaby.xyz · 2w ago

A thing I have been thinking about is that literally nobody I know, even centrists, are excited about a klob governorship. So if you don't get somebody that has people excited, like peggy, on the ballot its going to really drive down things like doorknocking, signs, etc. Craig won't drive it.

Welcome to America 2026. Where Republicans do whatever they want, laws be damned and Democrats.....write stern letters.

NEW: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is demanding in a new letter that Mitch McConnell "directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign."

onsite public media stole one of my stories and put it in infographics on their IG, asking for donations to support “their work.” low integrity. it was founded by toussaint morrison, whose company reel house just made $25k doing ads for hennepin county safety & justice for all, the hao nguyen PAC

taylr@taylordahlin.com · 2mo ago

mayor her is for hao nguyen, part of the st. paul support. like the PAC taylordahlin.com/f/new-ie-hen...

This is straight up perverse.

Discriminatory and dangerous: “every girl in kindergarten through 12th grade will have to have her sex assigned at birth verified by a doctor — through either genetic or hormone tests or an examination of her reproductive anatomy — to be eligible to play girls’ sports.”

We are here because too many Democrats have been weak. Here's my message to Minnesotans: I will never bend to Donald Trump. I will always stand with you.

Angie Craig campaign apparently doesn’t have anyone on staff who knows the first rule of holes.

more text messages have been shared between angie craig and john hoffman via dogdaysofminnesota on threads the hoffmans were hurt that craig followed up every check in about how they were doing after the attempted assassination with an ask for his endorsement for her senate run

why is Angie Craig fighting the Hoffmans harder than she ever has Donald Trump & the republicans?

ash 🏳️‍⚧️@rollingfor20.bsky.social · 3w ago

update from yvette hoffman, senator hoffman’s wife, on threads today:

At this point, with what we know about Angie Craig, endorsing her is saying "I don't give a shit about Operation Metro Surge and ICE, that isn't a problem for me" and "Crypto bros and the oligarchy are also fine" and "SuperPACS are great." Endorsers are "showing their ass" as my grandma used to say

There is a real choice in this race, and the stakes are sky-high. I'm running for U.S. Senate to make sure Minnesotans can afford their lives, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to explain my bold vision for our future. 🧵

senator hoffman has released a new statement regarding angie craig’s actions towards him, released via EMQ’s Facebook: she is so cooked

My goodness. We have USI/T-Mobile Fiber internet at our house, and not only did they send a tech out on a Sunday to fix an issue that just arose Saturday, he provided the best customer service and was so quick and kind!

Besides the like 98 other things wrong here, “coastal elites” is quite the Republican scare tactic. Just like Angie here in MN, she will vote like she speaks and no one should be surprised if they elect her!

Howard Mortman@howardmortman.bsky.social · 3w ago

"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens

I think that at this point it has become abundantly clear that Angie Craig might be the most dishonest actor in DFL politics in Minnesota.

minnesota state senator john hoffman revealed tonight at the peggy flanagan rally in st. paul that angie craig asked him for his endorsement for US senate while he was still in the ICU after vance boelter shot him really appalling anecdote!

taylr@taylordahlin.com · 5mo ago

john hoffman, MN state senator who survived an assassination attempt by vance boelter, who killed mark and melissa hortman, is here supporting omar fateh. he said fateh was his first visitor when he was in hospital. gave him a note saying “we’ll get that fucker” that is still on his fridge

See Minneapolis? When you act like bike lanes are the devil you're agreeing with an idiot.

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 3w ago

Trump's Department of Transportation is systematically deleting all mentions of bike lanes from the agency's website.

I feel like softball queers need to hold a presser where they inform MN voters that despite Angie Craig’s pandering new ad, no softball queers approve of her or her message. Softball queers for Peggy Flanagan, now and forever.

Oh hey, shorter version of all this commentary about the primetime address tonight - that man is a liar. he lies about everything. he’s cornered and going to keep lying and cheating. liars will always lie. Hope that helps!

Ahh! Just saw two cute kids wearing Olivia Miles goggles at today’s Lynx game! She’s cleaning up on the court AND making glasses cool. Legend.
