SPPD's intentions aside, I want a mayor who has enough awareness to not place themselves in situations that can be weaponized by an adversarial department. Rule number one is if you're the mayor, act like the fucking mayor. Maybe don't go to the cop gym and reenact a scene from Porky's.

Strib’s Rochelle Olson gives a full-throated defense of Kaohly Her, based on Olson’s suspicion of the St. Paul PD’s motivations. There’s some there there, but I wouldn’t term the Her allegations a “whisper campaign,” since a lot of the evidence is out in the open. www.startribune.com/st-paul-mayo...

Call your Senators and let them know to BLOCK BLANCHE. He's coming for your reproductive rights.

@katiephang.bsky.social lays out how nominee for AG Todd Blanche is saying the quiet part out loud: The Trump admin will use every lever they can to restrict abortion, in every state. Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on Blanche. 📞 888-380-2711 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vXNF98NXAjg

Ha - a friend just forwarded this to me. I’m shocked she would still do this given, y’know, everything…. www.stkate.edu/oshaughnessy...

Kaohly Her should still resign. On top of her being a sex pest and a bully, she believes in nothing. She did not sign an eviction extension during peak Metro Surge, she has no plan for housing, hasn’t joined any large city council efforts, and she never took a stance on anything during the campaign.

My latest story has some intrigue. FCC finally released Chairman Brendan Carr’s financial report for 2025 late Friday. The report states Paramount gave him tickets to the gala worth $12,390. But he and his wife sat in skybox seats that sold for $125,000 a piece. www.propublica.org/article/fcc-...

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

My piece in @pioneerpress.bsky.social: "A mayor without a vision doesn’t just make bad decisions — they make unpredictable ones. Six months into Kaohly Her’s term, St. Paul has learned the difference." www.twincities.com/2026/08/02/c...

Cole Hanson: St. Paul mayor’s lack of vision shows in her bad, unpredictable decisions

“She won last November not because she offered St. Paul a compelling vision but because Melvin Carter didn’t run a meaningful campaign,” Hanson writes.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

O’Neal helped purge me & all the other Black full-time staff columnists at the Post Opinion Section. I challenged his move to fire me in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. And he testified against me in June. We are expecting an arbitration ruling soon. Convenient time for him to quit.

Make no mistake here. This is Trump objectively taking the side of Iran, a nation we are currently at war with, over the Americans in Minnesota because he hates the governor and the fact that a majority of voters there did not vote for him

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d ago

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
