We'll have my friend Ryan (U.S. Citizen) on today to update us after spending 8 hours in ICE detention for following an ICE agent. youtu.be/ebNRus4x7I8

Warning: this video shows the incident.

Who do Minnesota DFL'ers want to see run for Governor now that Tim Walz has dropped out of the race?

I'm not giving Mike Max a goddamn thing.

Just waiting for @randballsstu.bsky.social’s Mike Max joke #GTTM

Minneapolis and Saint Paul: What's your one sentence election takeaway / hot take?

This is so good: thank you @dansuitor.bsky.social

A fair number of people who voted for Jazz Hampton and DeWayne Davis had Jacob Frey as a second choice. He got 12k second choice votes, Omar Fateh got 19k. As always - grateful for all of the people who stepped up to run to try to make our state’s largest city better!

If the Loons win tonight I can only assume the next round of the playoffs will start in January

Our conversations with candidates for Minneapolis Mayor continue today: @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social at 3:35p. As always - your questions are invited!

Talking to @jazzformayor.bsky.social on WCCO Radio at 3:35 if you have any questions let me know!

Talking to @dewayneforminneapolis.com for my WCCO Radio show today - what would you ask or like to learn?

If you love Lupulin Brewing and you love fighting hunger and you love seeing my AI-generated face above a urinal - pop on up to Big Lake today, buy a pint or a bottle and we give the money to Second Harvest Heartland

I ask Rick Kupchella what he’s up to, who’s funding him, don’t we already all know this stuff - www.audacy.com/podcast/driv...

What food would you hop in the car and drive to get in Minnesota... so cravable or so unique or so perfect?? Worth the drive?

"These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church." - Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey right now talking about the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. "I'm so deeply saddened and so sorry."

City of Minneapolis says the shooter is "contained" - sources tell @wccoradio.bsky.social the shooter is dead.

First day of school at Annunciation Catholic in South Minneapolis at 54th Street was Monday. Online schedule shows an All-school mass at 8:15am today. Pray for those kids + families.

Turn in to @wccoradio.bsky.social at 5PM to hear Jazz chat with @jasonderusha.com

And naturally, after re-skeeting this bold take, the fair announces a Monday record of 145,022 beating the 2017 record by about 500 tickets.

Tickets for 5 = $100. You’d prob spend $200 on food/rides. I think @mauratwit.bsky.social is right on. It’s an inflation story too: labor costs, food cost, insurance, it’s all up.

Not sure who to cheer for in this story - living on a small island sounds awful

Tonight’s air quality is caused by the fire burning at Twins HQ

I liked this @dbrauer.net piece on why the DFL endorsement may matter this time around - sort of counter to the prevailing pundit view. minnesotareformer.com/2025/07/24/t...

Aquatennial torchlight parade: extinguished (for tonight). Strong storms in the forecast

Josh with an absolute beauty of a pic. Minneapolis is gorgeous.

No one is surprised that Minneapolis DFL activists don’t like Jacob Frey / so the back-and-forth over the legitimacy of the convention vote doesn’t really interest me. The question will be if the challengers can motivate enough regular voters to not rank Frey in the election to get take him out.

We'll have @omarfatehmn.com on WCCO Radio at 4:35pm - you can stream it live on WCCO Radio's youtube channel or ask your smart speaker to play WCCO Radio! (AM radio works too)

Totally fair - Cuomo’s scandals and unpleasantness screamed Establishment and Old. Frey doesn’t read the same, I suspect. Also does Fateh have the charisma and magic that Mamdani has? Candidates matter for sure

Given the flopsweat Frey’s advisors already evidence (bsky.app/profile/ayan...) there’s truth to this, but only Democrats could vote in last night’s primary & in Minneapolis, everyone can in the only election we have. GOP & independent voters put Frey over here. That limits left pull.

Minneapolis isn’t that different from NYC politically, right? Zohran Mamdani’s dominating performance has to have Omar Fateh feeling good this morning. Establishment Dems taking the wrong lesson from the Presidential election run to the middle - Dems who want to win run to the left.

Just discussed the TCTPR account on my radio show... finally a critic covering what really matters.
