I would love to read a long piece about the influence of the Godfather movies on public figures.

The person arrested for this plot is a member of the Kahanist Jewish Defense League. As a Jewish person, I denounce the violent terrorists in the JDL.

No one should take at face value the Trump Admin's claims it just wants to reduce #Medicaid fraud. Actual goals: (1) punishing politically disfavored states (2) justifying the largest Medicaid cuts in history in H.R. 1 and (3) justifying further Medicaid cuts including capping federal funding.

We have good research demonstrating that less access to mental health specialists in the VA leads to more deaths for veterans. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Okay but just hear me out:

Had to be done.

[Don Draper takes a drag from his cigarette, turns to face the UMN Advancement team. His eyes red from 4 days of no sleep.] "You see, every school has a slogan that inspires you. It's boring. Your university's slogan will confuse everyone. It means nothing, because in the end we are all nothing."

I suppose I’m happy that they had the judgment to not use “Feeding our future”

This is so much better:

For the alumni association, the tagline is “Leave a tip.”

Me: “Everything is awful. I need to vent on here about something that is stupid and uncontroversial.” UMN: “We got you.”

Whoa. This is a huge deal and could really change health care delivery in MSP.

Truly one of the worst human beings serving in Congress today. And that is really saying something.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Great to see!

Imagine Emeril doing the live play-by-play for this game

Ordered it, excited to read.

I would so much rather live in a community with Muslims in the US than with hateful bigots like this: www.huffpost.com/entry/andy-o...

When Dems win back the House there will be many things that will require investigative hearings. I hope this is #1 on the list.

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside." Read every word.

The job market is weakening as work requirements are poised to go into effect for Medicaid and ACA premium assistance is decreasing.

Elianna is one of the most inspiring folks I know , just boundless energy for making life better for neighbors *across the city*

The way sitting politicians can say this stuff about Muslims while facing zero consequences is an indication of just how entrenched Islamophobia still is in our institutions and culture.

AG Keith Ellison is gonna have such an amazing record in court against this administration that the Timberwolves will be jealous.

This has nothing to do with fraud. The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

I don't know why the federal government has declared war on my state, but this is clearly because their attempt to conduct an invasion was thwarted. So they're now retaliating economically.

Aside from being nonsensical, is this also part of the attack on MN? MN companies are huge players in the medical device industry.

a) I don't see any way this is legal, and it will likely get shot down when our AG sues. b) I have yet to see any evidence that MN is a particular outlier in Medicaid program integrity, recent scandal notwithstanding. c) Rhetorical Q: what problem does this administration have with MN???

Pretty jarring to have two big humvees filled with personnel in tactical gear this morning drive right past us. Another reminder that nothing has ended in MN.

Gotten really into pineapple lately. Averaging like two a week in our house. Pretty exciting stuff.

Mishenichnas Otter, marbim b'simcha! (This is funny for a very small group of people, but that small group will really like it.)

My kids got a poloroid style camera and now my cat has to make a Taylor Swift album.

This answer - from one of the president’s key economic advisors - is disgraceful. And, fwiw, the number for tariff pass through is closer to 94-96 percent

He should absolutely resign, and then spend his time in his private life working to amend for his horrible behavior. (I don't think either of those things are likely, sadly.)

So far it looks like Trump, Noem, and operation metro surge drained Minneapolis alone—not yet counting St. Paul, Bloomington, etc.— $203 million. This was a MAGA Trump assault on an American blue city. Nothing more. Start seeing it. www.fox9.com/news/operati...

This is one of the most racist members of Congress out there, bar none, and the fact that he is Jewish just makes me ashamed.

It’s happening.

Trying to think through the implication: "I am afraid of vaccines. And I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats."

The rejection of Moderna's flu shot application is the latest example of Vinay Prasad overruling career FDA scientists to place vaccines under harsher scrutiny. www.statnews.com/2026/02/11/m...

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding. There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

Lot's of people dunking on the obvious thing here. But what in the world is with "Wall St has to adjust..."? This isn't the S&P 500 index. It's federal data about what actual employers and workers are doing all over the country. This is nonsense.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Weird that I don’t remember a reaction like this to the Paul McCartney, The Who, Coldplay, or even The Weeknd’s halftime shows.

An additional implication is it further erodes the effectiveness of state insurance regulation in overall commercial insurance markets.

a bit late, but why did a rapist tell me I should eat apples

This is cool. But Prince was better (obligatory).

Great thread walking through these complicated details with clarity.
