Minnesota's job market outperformed the national economy last month, but as @shadib.bsky.social reports, unemployment ticked up, and some workers are feeling a slowdown.

Good reporting by @brianarola.bsky.social on the legal gray areas around Minnesota's cannabis laws that are being exposed by cities, and the growing expectations that the courts or state lawmakers will need to clarify. www.minnpost.com/greater-minn...

Back at Annunciation Church. Media swarmed a child who was at Annunciation Church this morning.

I’ve been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information. The BCA and State Patrol are on scene. I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence.

The incident began unfolding around 8:30 a.m. at Annunciation Church, 509 W. 54th St. on the city's far south side.

Dozens of squads en route to Annunciation Church, casualties reported.

At least 15 police officers outside, 10 ambulances on scene, one leaving, I heard on one police walkie talkie that the church is all clear.

Closest I can get to Annunciation

How does Minnesota's 15% tax on cannabis products compare to other states? Check out the map in this piece by @shadib.bsky.social

Congress cut the food stamp program to save the federal government money, but those changes will cost every Minnesotan who owns a home, farm or any other property in the form of higher property taxes.

Gov. Walz gave a vote of confidence to the interim cannabis director who pushed to speed up the business licensing process, @rlyrealmattblake.bsky.social writes

Uptown Minneapolis has been the focus of an endless amount of hand-wringing about its evolution over the years. But where is Uptown exactly?

Don't expect Minnesota to join the midterm gerrymandering frenzy, but with the state projected to lose a congressional seat next decade, expect a fierce fight over redistricting in 2032.

Former Brooklyn Park City Council Member Xp Lee wins the special DFL primary for District 34B, the seat previously held by Melissa Hortman.

In the wake of the OBBB, a measure barring refugees from receiving Medicaid benefits has caught advocates and health care officials off guard. @rlyrealmattblake.bsky.social explains.

In defiance of state law, the Albert Lea City Council denied a cannabis retail license by a 4-3 vote Monday. The consequences of this could be withheld state aid and lawsuits, according to the city’s manager and attorney. Council members voted against it anyway.
