Regions Hospital in downtown St. Paul is seeing near-record demand for its emergency room services. In midst of $17 million upgrade, it’s asking Legislature to allow it to add 85 beds. (The state carefully regulates bed availability). Story by @imanicruzen www.twincities.com/2026/05/04/r...

Today, I hosted a community hearing and resource fair in Saratoga Springs to talk about New Yorkers' rights in manufactured homes. These New Yorkers are often victims of harassment and unsafe living conditions. We’re committed to ensuring they have the safe home they deserve.

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

We've tried to do a Waluigi game on nearly every console since his introduction, but no matter what, when it comes time to add Waluigi himself to the game, he turns to the screen and says "Not yet.", so we just replace him with an entirely new character and ship it. And that's how we made Pikmin.

Yeah @kstptv.bsky.social ?

Today, two (two!) men ran sub two-hour marathons for the first time in human history and the news is nowhere to be found on the ESPN or Sports Illustrated home pages. One of the greatest feats in sports history and it’s less important than the final round of the NFL Draft.

You heard it right, it's Boys Weekend at the hospital with two of the three guyetitians on staff. Still wild that there's only three of us in our entire hospital system 😵‍💫

If we don't defend the 180,000 Minnesotans living in the most affordable housing found in rural MN, private capital will take everything they have. We have to stand up for each other, no matter where we live. Thank you @minnesotareformer.com for the support and Ms. McDonough for your hospitality!

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

Here's a reminder: fruit and vegetables are fruit and vegetables. Canned, frozen, fresh, whatever you can afford, and whatever is easiest for you to consume is ok. Don't let the internet make nutrition complicated. ♡ #nourishyourbody

Our team has been out and about collecting signatures across Saint Paul! From Como Park to the No Kings rally, we've been talking to our neighbors about the importance of ensuring renters have timely, quality repairs for their homes.

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

Taylor is a personal friend, but I also really admire her boots-on-the-ground work as a 100% independent journalist. She pairs deep local knowledge and context with genuine curiousness in a rare way. Her report on a day in immigration court is a must read. Some of the details will floor you

Alright, my old running watch is finally dying and I can't fix it with a new battery like last time. Just lost my second long run in a week to a boot loop. #running bluesky, help me out! I need something that can pair on the back end to Strava, and collects heart rate. Whatcha think?

cities church in st paul, whose pastor david easterwood is an ICE agent, was protested again today on easter. in january, a protest led to the arrests of organizers including civil rights attorney nekima levy armstrong, and journalists like georgia fort and don lemon for covering it

Been reading the Narnia series (just finished book 4) to my daughter, my rankings: 1. Lion, Witch & the Wardrobe - I don't see the Jesus allegory? 2. Prince Caspian - gangs back for 1 more job 3. The Magician's Nephew - fabulous origin myth 4. A Horse and his Boy - Edward Said def hated this one

The idea that poor people don't deserve to have good, nutritious, and delicious food is pure classism and is a desire to deprive every last opportunity for joy from the lives of people struggling to get by.

I mean, you don't really need a translator

Few are brave enough to acknowledge the truth.

Finally, some sense coming out for #dietitian and #md alike following the USDA/MAHA MyTriangle mess. Thank you to the fine folks at @americanheart.bsky.social for giving me the latest scientific guidance for patients - this is evidence I can depend on. www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Yeah the game was chilly and, yeah we were down 8 runs first inning, but we got some pretty neat sweaters and she was pretty cute about it soooo go #stpaul saints!

Therefore, send not to know For whom the roof goose honks, It honks for thee.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

Bro what the fuck

There are a lot of cities where you can say the name of the city as a shorthand for the greater metro. And boy howdy is Minneapolis NOT one of them

To everyone from St. Paul that I saw at No Kings, thanks for signing! For everyone not from St. Paul, move here for the strongest renters rights and best night life before 730pm in MN 😁

The Midway CVS has been my worst neighbor ever since I first moved to the Midway in 2009. I've watched every step of this journey and I'm glad to share the tale for @streets.mn - the ballad of that Ghost on the Corner. streets.mn/2026/03/26/t...

I’m proud of our colleagues and neighbors in Saint Paul. This is going to help so many of our community members. Specifically, our neighbors who are impacted by the occupation and were forced back into the shadows.

An excellent history of the Midway CVS on @streets.mn by @coleinmidway.bsky.social. Question: was is a ghost pharmacy or more of a demon? 😈

Yes, it would be. And a long time coming, too.

Proud JFK Award Winner here - yeah they (ICE) are NOT sending their best to our airports and streets.

St. Paul is trying to give renters 60 days notice before eviction for nonpayment - good, necessary, direct response to Metro Surge. But the council may carve out public housing, Section 8, and Section 42 properties. So the most vulnerable renters get... less protection. Not great.

I want fully staffed public pools, and libraries that are cathedrals to public goods and a society where walling yourself off with money is viewed as sociopathic.

Teardowns of all sorts this week! This one, along my commute! #greenway #mpls

The Trump admin removed every useful nutrition ed material even referencing MyPlate from the USDA website - and didn't replace it with anything useful. What an abysmal waste of resources and time.
