Steve Brandt violating the sanctity of his DFL endorsement by backing Eric Harris Bernstein for Board of Estimate and Taxation.

"I’m making a formal endorsement of Eric even though he’s not a DFL endorsee. I don’t do so lightly."

…. Moving towards at-large districts which would be a clearer minority voters dilution attempt given how ward v. citywide elections turnout

The existing at-large seats for school board and park board *could be* but the MNVRA doesn’t specifically prohibit at-large seats. Any challenge would still need to demonstrate vote dilution for minority voters.

The argument is stronger when applied to city council because it would require…

The idea has come up frequently and it hasn’t been challenged legally yet but at-large city council districts are likely unlawful under the MN Voting Rights Act passed in 2023.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC My Message to Muslim New Yorkers — and Everyone Who Calls This City Home.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Bessent says bailout for Argentina will double to boost U.S. influence in region The Trump administration is working to arrange private sector financing for Argentina that would double the total U.S. financial lifeline for the embattled Latin nation.

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?

All while the US government is shut down.

"America First," amirite?

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Here’s video of the incident

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Trump obtains another settlement as YouTube agrees to pay $24.5 million Alphabet settles with Trump instead of fighting lawsuit over January 6 suspension.

would love to hear more congressional democrats say "should we win power next year we are going to treat every one of these as bribes and act accordingly" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

fun fact that while trump v. us says that the president cannot be held criminally liable for using his core powers, this does not extend to his officers

As a former State Rep, I know that our local leaders are on the frontlines of making Minnesota safe and affordable for everyone.

What an honor to earn the endorsement of a majority of members of the House DFL Caucus!

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

This letter is now live and ready for signatories!

We are asking cisgender allies in Minnesota who consider themselves members of the DFL to sign on to show support for trans people here.

Also, to make this abundantly clear:

This isn't just minneapolis. This is all of Minnesota. So if you know allies in outstate who could sign on, please pass it along to them.

davis: wants city attorney to set up shop with the attorney general to see what can be done that the state can’t do. does minneapolis have standing to sue the feds to stop them?

davis: frey attacked us for being at lake and bloomington more forcefully than he did the president who sent the tanks in

fateh: learned a lot after lake and bloomington. separation ordinance not strong enough. mayor leaves city council members in dark, that leaves residents in the dark. this led to the chaos on 6/3.

hampton: everyone at this table was at lake & bloomington. fateh had texted him about it. was trying to deescalate. wants MPD there if ICE are pushing “feet facing the right direction” protecting us from feds

question: separation ordinance is not enough. feds abusing power. covering faces. terrorizing communities. saw it here on lake and bloomington. strong mayor gives authority over MPD. what actions do you plan to take to ensure agencies protect rights of all people regardless of immigration status

I was soooo excited to come on the @wedge.live podcast and talk city budgets! Perhaps too excited, as John points out early in this episode.

Proud to have worked with Rep. Frazier and excited to volunteer to help him win this race.

I had the privilege of staffing Rep. Frazier in 2023 when he carried the Restore the Vote bill. A legislator who is understands the work and is committed to getting it done - someone who understands that the justice system doesn't just mean punishing people.
