You had me at "going to sell “all my homies hate jacob frey” shirts," and everything after that was a pleasant bonus.

Noem is out largely due to massive public activism, especially in MN, Democrats expressing increasing interest in impeachment and investigations, and resulting media coverage.

Keep pushing. These people are not invincible or immune from public opinion.

If we can't pass a law banning fundraising texts, let's pass a law requiring candidates to read your replies to them. If they're gonna beg me for money I should at least get to swear at them a little, as a treat.

A starfield with yellow and blue letters over it that read "Star Trek LXIX: The Next Vilification" with smaller white letters below that read "Sunday March 15, 6:30pm, Strike Theater." There are six multicolored dildos in weird alien shapes turned on their sides to look like a fleet of starships surrounding the letters

Sec. 9. Retirement, removal and discipline.The legislature may provide by law for retirement of all judges and for the extension of the term of any judge who becomes eligible for retirement within three years after expiration of the term for which he is selected. The legislature may also provide for the retirement, removal or other discipline of any judge who is disabled, incompetent or guilty of conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice.

Minnesota Constitution Art. VI, Sec. 9. Going around the back of the executive and legislative branch to negotiate policy with the federal government is beyond the pale for ANY judge. Absolutely "conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice."

Chief Justice Hudson must resign, immediately.

Adaptive technology for accommodating disabilities, with increased access to things like 3D printers & with materials advancement.

Matt's secret is adding lipton's onion soup mix to their burger. That's it. People who rant about their burgers do so because they've never had seasoned meat. Everything at 5•8 tastes like heatlamp cardboard and dirty fryer oil. We usually get JLs at Blue Door; their Cease & Desist is a JL Big Mac.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

I appreciate Klepper asking Frey about things like eviction moratorium, MPD assisting ICE, & how the mayor could do more, and I'm not surprised at all that Frey dodged those questions and responded with polite fluff. He praises Minneapolitans but we have to work harder because of his lack of effort.
