Minneapolis and Saint Paul: What's your one sentence election takeaway / hot take?
This is so good: thank you @dansuitor.bsky.social
I put it in a reply, but I want to pull it out: even if Jazz voters broke for Fateh at the same rate as Davis voters, Fateh still loses
My math shows that would've pulled Fateh to a 1,463 deficit, making it Frey 47.9% to Fateh 47%
Not calling out the original poster. It's a genuinely interesting

A fair number of people who voted for Jazz Hampton and DeWayne Davis had Jacob Frey as a second choice. He got 12k second choice votes, Omar Fateh got 19k.
As always - grateful for all of the people who stepped up to run to try to make our state’s largest city better!

"These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church." - Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey right now talking about the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. "I'm so deeply saddened and so sorry."

City of Minneapolis says the shooter is "contained" - sources tell @wccoradio.bsky.social the shooter is dead.
First day of school at Annunciation Catholic in South Minneapolis at 54th Street was Monday. Online schedule shows an All-school mass at 8:15am today. Pray for those kids + families.
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.

And naturally, after re-skeeting this bold take, the fair announces a Monday record of 145,022 beating the 2017 record by about 500 tickets.
Tickets for 5 = $100. You’d prob spend $200 on food/rides. I think @mauratwit.bsky.social is right on.
It’s an inflation story too: labor costs, food cost, insurance, it’s all up.

I think the fact that we’ve had the most gorgeous perfect days and the state fair attendance is no where near breaking records…is a recession indicator.

Not sure who to cheer for in this story - living on a small island sounds awful
Kathy Cargill shifts course on Park Point, puts several properties up for sale
For more than a year, little has been done with the dozen or so properties Cargill bought in the Duluth neighborhood on the fragile sandbar.

I liked this @dbrauer.net piece on why the DFL endorsement may matter this time around - sort of counter to the prevailing pundit view. minnesotareformer.com/2025/07/24/t...
The DFL mayoral endorsement might just matter after all — and it should • Minnesota Reformer
Conventions have foretold incumbent fortunes.

No one is surprised that Minneapolis DFL activists don’t like Jacob Frey / so the back-and-forth over the legitimacy of the convention vote doesn’t really interest me. The question will be if the challengers can motivate enough regular voters to not rank Frey in the election to get take him out.
