Neighbors followed and honked as an ICE vehicle cruised the wrong way down one-way Minnehaha Parkway in Tangletown on the morning of Christmas Eve.

Gov. Walz standing with mayors from Minneapolis & St. Paul to criticize ICE “scapegoating” and racial profiling. Says they’re preparing for further influx of ICE agents and wouldn’t put it past them to target midnight masses.

ICE told us it had no body camera footage from Chicago in response to our FOIA — even though a federal judge ordered them to wear cameras and turn them on. So who is ICE lying to? Us, or the judge?

VIDEO: An American citizen taken into custody by ICE Tuesday. “He dragged me outside to the snow while I was handcuffed, restrained, helpless, and he pushed me to the ground and put me in a chokehold,” the man told me and a group of reporters. 1/3

DOJ's newest recruitment ad features Judge Dredd, the comic satire about the dangers of lawless policing and authoritarian power

I’m in the 99th percentile for YAM HAUS listeners. I like to listen local a lot, but I’d bet I’m 50th percentile for The Replacements fans. #Wrapped

#GoCoogs Officially 9-1 when unranked, 0-2 when ranked. Let’s stay unranked and win a bowl game for a 10-win season!

A statement on behalf of the Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists. www.mnspj.org/2025/11/26/m...

Leaders of a Duluth church community enabled a child abuser for years. Here are the main points from the Minnesota Star Tribune/ProPublica investigation.

Some folks say liberals push a vaccine agenda for whatever reasons, but maybe they’ll listen to Sen. Bill Cassidy, (R-Louisiana), who is a senator and a medical doctor.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says: “The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

What’s next for Houston? The Cougars aren’t finished on the recruiting trail. Expect them to add another guard soon, with five-star Caleb Holt and top-45 prospect Ikenna Alozie taking official visits in late October www.nytimes.com/athletic/682...

Five months ago today, an assassin shot Sen. John Hoffman nine times. The man also shot Yvette Hoffman and killed Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Today, this photo shows Sen. Hoffman as he was discharged after 4+ days in the hospital for his latest surgery.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

This story hit me personally pretty quickly. Friends from California aren’t able to get here tomorrow for a visit we had scheduled for months. www.fox9.com/news/faa-ord...

Mayor Jacob Frey will serve a third term in Minneapolis. Frey won on the second round of counting, closing with 50.03% after getting just shy of 42% of first ranks.

Please just keep playing until daylight saving is over. I don’t want baseball to end.

I confronted the serial squatter who knows the system pretty well and has required eviction proceedings often. I also talked to a lot of victims…. www.fox9.com/news/serial-... (1/2)

Biological truth: It’s not super common, but about 1% of all breast cancer cases are in men. That’s 2800 cases a year in the U.S.

Gophers are on the board! Kicked a field goal while down by 5 TDs, but they’re on the board.

Gophers have a lot of work to do after the half. 😬🤓

Prince and I are superfans of the runners in the Halloween Half Marathon. #RunTheRiver

Minnesota’s spookiest scene this Halloween season may be in a museum. Creepy dolls escaped from the vault at the History Center Of Olmsted County. I survived the display and found the hidden history lesson.

Purdue student journalists deliver special 'solidarity' newspaper to IU Bloomington campus! www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/l... Proud of these student journalists for pushing for the free press we all deserve. (I started in journalism at The Daily Cougar!)

FG FTW as time expired. @uh.edu is now 6-1 after consecutive 4-8 seasons to start their Big 12 tenure! #GoCoogs Props to Coach Willie for turning the team from Dana’s Dumpster into a bowl team in just his second season!

At MSP, MAC says they’re not playing the TSA video blaming Ds for the government shutdown…yet, at least. “TSA is not airing the video while the MAC is evaluating this request under applicable legal requirements.”

2025 Twins still alive in the postseason: Louis Varland & Ty France — Blue Jays Willi Castro — Cubs Brock Stewart — Dodgers (out for season)

I ran 26.2 miles to earn my first ever beer at the Capitol.

Ouch. That’s strike 3. He ended up on first three pitches later. (cc: @kentremendous.bsky.social)

WATER TOUR The chain of lakes trip was beautiful. On Minnehaha Creek, I saw a deer, then her fawn, then another fawn. Also ran into my brother and nephew on the creek. Then saw the still-roaringfalls, and finished with a #RideTheRiver

Maybe this is a new breed of @uh.edu Cougars because they very easily could’ve Coog’ed it last night and instead found a way to win. They have a lot to fix, but it’s nice to have the chance to fix an undefeated team.

I did the math on what ended up being an 82-minute Minneapolis mayoral debate. Here’s my unofficial count of how long each candidate got to speak: Jacob Frey 18:17 Omar Fateh 17:04 Dewayne Davis 10:11 Jazz Hampton 9:08 Brenda Short 7:56

All five Minneapolis mayoral candidates are on the stage for a crunch time debate now that early voting has started for the November election. You can watch LIVE here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Charlie Kirk murdered. Gun violence has no place in America. Not in schools: Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Annunciation and.... Not in public life: Hortman, Hoffman, Giffords, Scalise, now Kirk. Each one a tragedy. Each one unacceptable. We can & must stop the gun violence epidemic.

Bryan Hooper, Sr., breaks down in tears as his daughter Briana Hooper talks about 10,000 days of worrying about him while he was behind bars on a wrongful murder conviction.

Minneapolis in the morning Beautiful weather and #RunTheRiver scenery making these last few weeks of #HoggJog training fun and easy. (As easy as running for more than three hours can be.)

Bryan Hooper walks out of Stillwater Prison a free man after 27 years of serving on a false murder conviction.

Vice President JD Vance arrives at Annunciation Church with flowers and spends about a minute at the memorial, alongside Second Lady Usha Vance.

Secret Service (and some volunteers) preparing Annunciation Church for a visit from Vice President JD Vance.

Nine Minnesota mayors join in calling for a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines. They’d also like special session to include a new law allowing cities to create their own gun safety laws, especially if the state and federal ban don’t happen.

Long #HoggJog after moving day Not only is it warmer, but my body is tired. A decent 21-mile #RunTheRiver nonetheless. The marathon is just over a month away now, so it’s time for long runs and getting serious. (1/2)

I’ve always looked for the helpers in troubled times. Mr. Rogers taught me that. So many appeared over the last three days that I can’t help but see a bright light in the middle of all this darkness. And this has just been a PBS kind of week…

Chalked into the sidewalk outside Annunciation Church: They are alive as long as you remember them. Remember the names. Fletcher Harper

We now know one of the crosses at Annunciation belongs to 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel. Dad: “Please remember Fletcher for the person he was and not the act that ended his life. Give your kids an extra hug and kiss today. We love you, Fletcher. You'll always be with us.”

Mourning together. After the mass shooting at a Minneapolis church/school, second vigil tonight, this one for just the general public, has filled much of Lynnhurst Park.

Archbishop Hebda with a message from Pope Leo: He’s profoundly saddened to learn of the loss of life and injuries at Annunciation Catholic Church. He sends heartfelt condolences and assurance of spiritual closeness to all affected by this tragedy. He commends the sow of the deceased children to God.

I’ve mentioned the community here and people with the instinct to help. This young man dragged a Radio Flyer full of water, sodas, and donuts out to the scene for press and others gathered outside the crime scene tape. Says he’s lived here his entire life.

Prince stopped to smell the flowers on #NationalDogDay

This was a positive development. More than 10 weeks after the assassin’s attempt on his life, Sen. John Hoffman walked on stage for his first speech in public. He looked and sounded strong with just one nod to his physical wounds. www.fox9.com/news/dnc-hos...
