St. Paul was inspired by the "Denver Model" and created its own "Saint Paul Model" and brought their clearance rate from 37% in 2023 to 70.5% in 2024.

In 2025, St. Paul is now trending to have a 30% reduction in shots fired and a 70% reduction in homicides.

Who's Bankrolling 'A Precarious State,' Rick Kupchella's New Twin Cities Doomer Doc? - Racket Plus Replacements biopic in the works, enter the STOP Slumlords Ordinance, and Barn Bluff history in today's Flyover news roundup.

I watched the whole thing (huge pain tolerance for ingesting bad media), and every "solution" involves lower corporate tax rates, deregulation, and punching left. It's the same old project, nothing new here.

Residents urge St. Paul to demolish Midway’s vacant CVS Among the complications: It’s unclear who exactly owns it.

in perpetual, horrified fascination by the us system of shell companies in real estate. when i saw this in the pioneer press today i had to do a little digging, even though i knew i'd get absolutely nowhere.

Not sure you would waste your time watching that documentary when you could just read what the gang at @racketmn.com has to say about it.

That subreddit sucks ass for the most part. Sorry to see you became its main character today. And unwittingly at that.

Every time I see someone say, "this violates the Hatch Act" I think: None of this matters obviously this administration doesn't believe the law applies to them. But then I see something like this and think: Damn, we aren't just playing by different rules. We're playing entirely different games.

Day three of #WeekWithoutDriving. For me, the morning was easy: Green Line straight to downtown, very easy and completely uneventful. For the rest of my family, today is a different story.

Not to double down on the Saint Paul Scold, but I'm with Wes here. While I think it's true that Coates comes off as a deeply thoughtful intellectual (that I think outpaces Klein by miles,) I also think Klein's willingness to vulnerability is essential and refreshing. And it shouldn't be diminished.

So the other day @wesburdine.bsky.social upbraided me, as only a friend can, for celebrating Coates ”pantsing” Klein (my word). I think this piece makes Wes look better & me look worse; it’s really about finding firm footing in history’s arc to fight fascism when your gifted/talented world‘s upended

You don't have to swallow frogs Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.

Very much enjoyed this piece from @andreapitzer.bsky.social on the conversation between Ezra Klein and Ta-nehisi Coates:

Got to do a cool thing today that involved my big ass getting into a helicopter and flying over Saint Paul.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

This photo of Tony Romo walking into Arrowhead today is wild.

Feel like if this is how the law works, there’s no reason to make a budget deal because there’s no reason to believe anything that you win via Congress will actually happen anyway.

Great piece Tom. Fly the flag!

Door knocking for #YesForSPPS because I want my son to have the same amazing educational experience that I did in our public schools.

Lol, lmao even

NFL wants the home team to win international games.

Was just reading the Zone Coverage piece on the Collier no call. The WNBA league office should be absolutely embarrassed about how they dealt with that. Suspending the coach is shameful after that is a disgrace.

St Paul DSI is in proceedings to force the demolition of the blighted CVS building at Uni/Snelling. If you are cool and you live in St Paul you will email legislativehearings@ci.stpaul.mn.us and tell them that you support requiring the demo of that building

The swipe was clean, the loose ball contact after the swipe was very much a foul and should have been called. Phee got called for her 5th foul on much MUCH less contact.

After seeing the slow motion replay, and that condescending tweet from the refs, I don't think Cheryl was mad enough about that play on Phee.

Brutal finish to this one

Damn Cheryl!

Ball don't lie but why did they get a fresh shot clock on that call being overturned?

Great challenge from Reeve here

Big lefty cookin em!

Big time 3rd quarter. Cheryl has them fired up outta half. Money time.
