Did not believe this man’s estimation could grow in my mind but

Liz lived the hell out of this life. “She is gone too damn soon. But she leaves a legion inspired by her example, and we take comfort in the fact that no one will forget her showing up to a legislative session via Zoom in a bikini.” www.inforum.com/obituaries/o...

My friend Liz is gone, which is the absolute worst thing. We worked together a few years back, then she became a legislator and I became a reporter. The last thing we did together was pressure the state to get late SNAP payments out last month. She was the best. www.inforum.com/news/fargo/n...

Got locked out on the Secretary’s balcony with him and some exec from I think the North Face once…he was showing us the view of the Mall when the wind blew the door shut. Some staffer noticed like 15 minutes later and rescued us.

My editor asks me: what was the homicide in West Fargo last year? I answer: there wasn’t one. He says: their annual report says otherwise. Which resulted in this story: www.inforum.com/news/west-fa...

I’ve been following and writing about this case since a high-profile drug raid went down in my very sleepy, super safe neighborhood nearly 4 years ago. A wild ride of a case ensued. www.inforum.com/news/fargo/n...

i feel like a lot of people are dissociating and not reacting to the threat of nuclear war with an appropriate level of alarm?

I wrote about Hussain “Daniel” Ahmadi, a former Afghan intelligence officer who has had an asylum application pending here for 2 years. He has been in ICE detention for over a month. www.inforum.com/news/west-fa...

I followed up on a heartbreaking missing persons case in Moorhead last fall. www.inforum.com/news/moorhea...

This poor woman. A massive fail for AI and the humans relying to heavily on it. www.inforum.com/news/fargo/a...

Damn, the Moorhead Spuds (small town up north, nickname due to potato farming) came from 3-0 down to beat the Minnetonka Skippers (wealthy metro suburb, nickname due to lake with lots of big fancy boats) Put another way, potatoes > yachts

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%

The folks at The Vault podcast interviewed me about the puzzling Isadora Wengel homicide case and the ongoing search for her remains. www.inforum.com/news/the-vau...

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Metro Surge might be “over” but its impact on and trauma to Minnesota’s immigrant community will be felt for months, years to come.

Wild, shocking story. We knew some of this but yowsa www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

ND judge volunteers to help MN courts out w/ deluge of habeas cases. ND judge proceeds to deny all of ‘em, until a valid DACA recipient gets arrested. My latest: www.inforum.com/news/minneso...

We haven’t had nearly the volume that MN has here but I wrote about the most recent Habeas case filed in ND. Yusuf’s attorney is Marc Prokosch, who also reporesents little Liam Ramos and his family. www.inforum.com/news/north-d...

I wrote about Minnesota’s Immigrant Defense Network and the hundreds of people who showed up for their constitutional observer training in my town last night www.inforum.com/news/moorhea...

Best accounting of what’s been happening in Minneapolis I’ve read so far.

My 1st job in the industry was as night producer for the Post’s sports section, .com side, writing stupid small stuff, mostly mid-season game summaries. Twice I took frantic calls from Wilbon asking me to hold a column. I was so proud of that gig. Working at the storied Washington Post. A dream.

I just bought a 10 pack of whistles on Amazon (I know, I know). On the confirmation page it asked me if I wanted to add a pocket copy of the Constitution like others buyers like me did. 🫠

I almost fainted.

It *felt* like an intense week at work and today’s front page is validating. 3/4 bylines. 😅

Tom Stoppard wrote my favorite play ever, Arcadia. Saw a mesmerizing and life-altering 1994 production of it in London the year after it premiered. He was a genius. RIP.

I think he’s my favorite police chief.

Enrique can't believe it

The state’s Dept of Public Instruction spokesman didn’t seem to think Trump’s H-1B visa fee would have an impact on North Dakota schools when I asked him. After talking to several superintendents it’s pretty clear it will. www.inforum.com/news/north-d...

My three October birthday boys - husband 46, son 11, and dad 80 - at their joint celebration last night. 💙

U.S. Marshals arrested this guy in the tiny North Dakota town of Ray today. I last wrote about him in May, when the state case against him was dismissed due to repeated discovery disasters. It’s a wild ride. www.inforum.com/news/north-d...

It’s been raining here the last three days. This salmon chowder recipe is the cure and the comfort. Thanks Hank. honest-food.net/salmon-chowd...

I dropped my 10yo off for his 1st day of school. He was fired up & it was a perfect fall morning. Less than an hour later, news of the Annunciation shooting broke. My heart is shattered for the families who lost their sweet 10yr old and 8yr old kids as they sat in mass …an unspeakable crime.

Interior Sec. Doug Burgum keeps showing up in photos in stories related to this deal but none of them explain what his role was…anyone know?

This whole chain is giving me life this morning🤣

I wrote this one over the course of about a week in late July but it was evergreen enough to hold whilst the bank robberies, fatal shootings, and violent attacks took center stage. A tangled web. www.inforum.com/news/fargo/a...

Being the weekend reporter is sometimes a drag, but I earned my keep today. www.inforum.com/news/fargo/s...

Automatically following basically everyone posting their favorite Tom Lehrer song today. My people. Who’s next?

Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral. This tragedy must end now. Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President: ms.spr.ly/63327sGyPt

Sheriff Jahner says he’s “hugely disappointed in…the sentence handed down from the court,” saying it was “extremely lenient, lacks responsibility, and accountability. There were several victims in this case who I feel did not receive the justice they deserved.” www.inforum.com/news/fargo/j...

Bob Ross river walk last night in Fargo.

It’s the 4th of July. Woke up feeling like it’s a day of mourning. Parades should be funeral processions. You’re a real kick in the pants, America.

What. A. Run.

Sigh. www.inforum.com/news/north-d...

If Waymos are wrong I don’t wanna be right. We loved taking these in San Francisco. 10/10 every ride. *Kylo Ren “More!” GIF*

Whither Golden Dome…Sen. Kevin Cramer wills North Dakota onto the cast list www.inforum.com/news/north-d...

My dad is in charge of planting flags at veterans graves at the rural cemeteries in his remote North Dakota county. Today we helped him put flags at graves of veterans of the Civil War to Vietnam.

Named our dog Norm and everyone shouts his name just like in the show when he shows up at gatherings, just like we drew it up. RIP to the OG.
