Frey often says he's got a much thicker skin than when he was first elected eight years ago, but another side of that is his increasing isolation from city, county, and state governing partners — as DeWayne Davis describes.

BIG WIN 👏 BIG PERFORMANCE 👏

Kayla McBride went off in the Lynx’s 53-PT victory over the Aces — the largest road win in WNBA history.

She knocked down 8 threes on 100% shooting in the first half, becoming the first player ever to record that stat line in a half.

One time I was talking to then-Council President Andrea Jenkins about support for people living in encampments, and Latonya interjected to ask me if some unhoused people weren't better off in jail than on the streets.

@RapidResponse47 Most transparent administration in history

Epstein files are real but also they’re not but they’re on Pam Bondi’s desk and we’re going to release them but we also can’t (even though we promised we would) and let's talk about someone else because this is really inconvenient for us and even our own supporters are furious

Minnesota’s Catholic schools are thriving with the help of a nonprofit Enrollment and literacy have risen, and many praise a foundation started by Best Buy founder Richard Schulze.

Reading this Strib story, Catholic school academic successes seem self-reported … test data available somewhere? (Not disputing enrollment gains but charters bragged about getting more kids while scores dropped … good sales don’t always equal good results) www.startribune.com/minnesotas-c...

This ruling prioritizes the discomfort and fear of some non-trans people over the health and wellbeing of trans youth. It disregards science and every major medical authority. It endorses the state controlling parents and doctors. Every resulting suicide is on the hands of these anti-trans justices.

Hey Chuck, this decision rips health care away from Americans

Didn't realize police could commandeer a home.

Well, we’ve reached the “Dean Phillips pops up on Bari Weiss’s site to #bothsides-scold everyone” part of the assassination story.

When we reviewed the 1,450+ NIH grants terminated by the Trump administration, we found that:

• More than 550 were focused on health disparities or inequities
• More than 300 were focused on LGBTQ+ health care

The Minnesota Lynx honored Seimone Augustus going into the Hall of Fame with a pregame ceremony today.

Also had a moment of silence for the tragedy, punctuated by one fan yelling “Melissa” into the silence and another following with “No Kings, motherfuckers!” and the crowd cheered.

All of Mpls - the millionaire PAC supporting Jacob Frey - is now attacking Omar Fateh & Jason Chavez for “attempting to stop” a fentanyl investigation; neither did any such thing. Both alerted community to ICE in the Feds’ raids - which even Frey called excessive. Just foul Trumpy stuff here.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?

No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.

Fascism is here.

Council Member Jason Chavez gets dinged on KARE11 for posting a true and accurate description of what he saw with own eyes. Hope he learns his lesson.

My office has received an alarming number of calls from people who are getting scam texts from someone claiming to be the DMV threatening to suspend them for unpaid fines if they aren't paid immediately. Please let people know this isn't real! The state will never contact you this way for citations.

Later Tuesday afternoon, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) called the event a "groundbreaking criminal operation," and said it was the first in Minnesota "under the Homeland Security Task Force umbrella — marking a new chapter in how we confront complex, multidimensional threats." "From drug smuggling to criminal labor trafficking, this operation showcases the breadth of our collective missions and the strength of a united front,” said ICE Homeland Security Investigations St. Paul Special Agent in Charge Jamie Holt. "... Together, we are safeguarding communities, protecting national security, and setting a new standard of joint enforcement efforts.” Holt said ICE was assisted by state and local law enforcement, as well as federal partners, including the U.S. Attorney's Office, FBI, IRS-CI, DEA, ERO, ATF, USMS, DSS, U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Coast Guard, and the TSA.

In the ongoing confusion of what happened yesterday, ICE has released a statement confirming they were there (which was already confirmed by eyewitnesses) and listing "state and local law enforcement" and a host of federal agencies as assisting ICE. (1/2)

Law enforcement action on Lake Street in Mpls. draws large crowd Immigrant rights organizers gathered outside a Lake Street business on Tuesday as armed law enforcement officers blocked off access.

ICE was present at the incident on Lake & Bloomington. Our community saw it with their eyes. Federal agencies were militarized on our streets. Community members were assaulted by them and local jurisdictions were present for it. Our community deserves answers and to be heard. 1/
