Star Tribune: “Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s ‘stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.’”
Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota
His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Hi, my name is [Your Name]. I’m a constituent from [Your City, ZIP]. I’m calling to insist Senator Schumer lead his caucus to refuse to vote for any appropriations bill for DHS that fails to rein in ICE. Democrats must use their power of the purse, now when they have leverage.
The killing of Renee Good wasn’t an accident—it’s a system failure. No DHS appropriations without real limits on ICE. HR trainings and body cams won’t cut it. End dragnet raids. Stop the violence. Don’t add a penny to ICE’s bloated budget. Babies are being gassed by government thugs. What will it take to get real action from our elected Democrats?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7yae6zexwxrphkd3bdsycmud/bafkreib7cy4dfkclzqvbf5bj5pbhyzdlczh2tx76bqdazap7bq55voclda@jpeg)

In 2024, the city’s greenhouse gas emissions dropped to levels not seen since 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic — a sign, environmentalists say, that new climate policies are making a difference.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Drop to Pandemic Levels in Sign of Local Climate Laws’ Impact
Phasing out fuel oil in buildings, improved energy efficiency and cleaner, greener cars contributed to a 5% decline between 2023 and 2024.
