I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

middle school daughter informs me that kids in her school are using the word "buns" to describe things they are not good at. Like "I'm so buns at singing" and "I'm totally buns at math." Gotta say I really like this one. May it replace all the 6-7 references in the world, please?

Updated the story a little now that renewals are out. Lot of lower bowl fans reporting increases upward of 35% next year over this year. Average is lower than that, and upper bowl increases are considerably smaller. Cheapest season ticket goes from $19 a game this year to $21 a game next year.

Mine went up 37%! In this economy!?!

This is an old neighbor of mine. If you’re wondering what it feels like for someone not on the front lines, just trying to get by and not pull the covers over your head, here you go.

The Packers are the fourth team to want to talk with Daronte Jones about a defensive coordinator opening, NFLN reported this morning. As Vikings wait on Brian Flores, one of his top assistants (and internal replacement options) is at risk of leaving.

Personal musings from one of my co-workers that sums up my Minnesota experience right now.

If a prerequisite of being a "Steclers" fan is burning the left side of my head with a lit cigarette, I don't care who the coach is. Count me out.

Just hope we never find out that the Bills had a bounty on Nix

"What we are witnessing is the storming of the state by the federal government," the Editorial Board writes.

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd. 📷️: Jeff Wheeler

Gonna record a bonus pod off this Preseason ... er ... Week 18 Vikings finale. More of a season review than a game review. What exactly did we learn this year? Your thoughts, please.

I went to all 10 of the daycares Nick Shirley featured in his viral video. I got inside 4 and found children. Lots of children: www.startribune.com/day-care-fra...

Anthony Edwards’ grandfather Ben is back to see today in Atlanta. Two years ago when working on “Ant,” he told me “If you talk to my grandson, tell him the house needs paint.” It got painted this summer. Green & white as it’s always been. Why? “Green & white mean money and heaven,” he said.

Our 3 night owl kids are all still awake. The 11-year-old just asked if I would make her orange chicken. Yep, they're definitely mine.

Tom Pohlad is stepping into the lead owner role with the Twins. “It’s undeniable that we haven’t won enough baseball games, the financial health of the club has been put in jeopardy, and we’ve got a fan base that has lost trust in us as owners.” www.startribune.com/its-a-whole-...
