Today isn’t the day for political barbs. I know full well politics is a contact sport, but not today. There aren’t many days off in politics, but today should be one of them. (Especially after Jan 6th, 2021)

You gotta be fricken kidding! Now the Dem want Sen Nicole Mitchell gone, not because of principle, but because they don’t want to lose the seat in a special election. They each are complicit in the abuse of power.
DFL calls for resignation of Sen. Mitchell, DFL-Woodbury.

Rep Gillman is a seat mate on the house floor with me. We talked about this attack.
What Rep Finke did is simply wrong and should be condemned unqualified, by all!
Dawn Gillman is one of the kindest and most genuine people at the legislature. What we saw earlier this week was unacceptable.

What a chump! What’s the public policy difference between 30 or 33 & 25%. Not much. What the political difference? Trying to survive politically & save face. So much for ‘data driven’ and follow the ‘science’. Show me where 5% more in a church is more dangerous than 10.

this "(White) Christian Nationalist" narrative I hear in St. Paul and in national politics is BS dog whistle. Stand by your faith, regardless of political ideology.
MSNBC says that you're a "Christian nationalist" if you believe our rights come from God.
Well, here's Joe Biden back in 1987:
"My rights are not derived from any government...they're given to me and each of my fellow citizens by our Creator."

35th murder of the year, and it’s not yet June. Being soft on crime and disparaging law enforcement efforts just doesn’t work.

‘Things’ and ‘stuff’ doesn’t just magically appear on shelves and in stores. (Or your front step) Trucking and transportation are a key part of our economy.
A crucial link in the supply chain is the trucking industry. But with a severe shortage of drivers to a lack of trucks, experts say it is facing the most challenging labor picture of all.

Tom, the Gov and public should know cancelled booking for cancelled youth tournaments have cost one Lakeville hotel property about $30k just from lost youth tournaments in the area.
The governor said last week they will reassess competitive sports and other expanded openings around June 20th with the aim of Phase 4 openings possibly before July 4th. That’s the latest info I have...
