I remember finishing this interview thinking she's nice, she's fun, I can see why she's had success in life, but how can you get away with pretending to have zero opinions on how streets should be built when you're running for mayor?
Watch my bike ride conversation with Rep. Kaohly Her, candidate for mayor of Saint Paul. Audio podcast posts tomorrow morning.

If I was a Republican member of Congress watching the results tonight, I’d ask myself if I really wanted my legacy to be: Guy who helped an aging pedophile suspend the constitution so he could enrich himself and his friends.

Minneapolis at least built its cool bike lane (Hennepin) through its rich neighborhood before haters could defeat its progressive champion (Cashman). No such luck for St. Paul & Summit.

this is genuinely wild
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

social media right now is kind of like CABARET:
fascism encroaching but in fact it’s really here, TikTok emcees distracting us from the horrors, everyone’s at least a little bit gay, and Liza Minnelli’s talent is celebrated on a regular basis

Hello Lyndale Ave South community. Opponents of a safer design for Lyndale are generating a ton of emails (via action network), many from outside Minneapolis, to city council members in support of the no bike lane option. You may want to get busy contacting your council members.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.
His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.
Now he is tweeting in support of me.
