A plausible theory for why the city council hasn't been moved back to city hall yet.

The entirety of the left/liberal friction in Democratic Party politics is summarized by how one looks at basically anything Hakeem Jeffries says and if your reaction is "Jesus fucking Christ we could do so much better than this" or "I like the way he's not Donald Trump"

That's it. That's all of it.

Trump pardons Cuellar. Hakeem Jeffries says defended the move, calling the case “very thin” and the pardon “the right outcome.”

And Jeffries complimented Trump on the border.

The higher ups of the Democratic party are putting their fingers on the scale for Craig over Peggy Flanagan for US Senate.

Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

The Somali diaspora in Minnesota didn’t begin in Minneapolis. It began in Greater Minnesota — in Willmar, St. Cloud, and other towns where meatpacking plants offered hard, essential work. Somali refugees came as workers, filling jobs that sustained local economies.

The President’s blaming Feeding Our Future, but the fraud he’s talking about was enabled by the CARES Act — a bill he signed that gutted oversight to get money out fast. It’s also the law that allowed members of Congress to pocket PPP loans for their own companies.

Derek Chauvin inflicted more harm on Minnesota in 9 minutes than the Somali-American community has in decades.

Don’t take my word for it. In 2015, Majority Whip Tom Emmer said:

“Somalis.. are some of the fastest-assimilating populations that we’ve had.” www.thisamericanlife.org/600/transcript
Trump goes on another racist rant about Somalis: "Ilhan Omar should be thrown the hell out of our country, and most of those people -- they have destroyed Minnesota. It's a hellhole right now. Those Somalians should be out of here. They have destroyed out country ... go back to your own country."

Question: How much do you spend on Patreons, Substacks, and the like? Include news sites like the Times or your local outlets, if you prefer.

I want to contribute to journalism, but it's a bottomless endeavor. What's a good budget to set?

Jeffries claims the charges against Cueller were "very thin" and says Trump's pardon was "exactly the right outcome"

I hope Aimee Bock is carrying around her passport.

One critical correction to note in this NYT story. Feeding Our Future was not a "Minneapolis nonprofit." Its headquarters were located in St. Anthony, Minnesota — a suburban office park outside the city limits of Minneapolis.

The CARES Act was $2.2 trillion economic stimulus signed into law by President Donald Trump on March 27, 2020. It was designed deliberately to distribute funds with little regard for oversight. Speed was an explicit choice by Trump.

His signature facilitated the Feeding Our Future fraud.

Great. So the Democratic Leader is praising the President for securing the border. What is this party? Is this a "strong floor and no ceiling"? So the border is the floor?
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."
December 3, 2025 at 5:05 PM
This $1b number needs a fact check. If you add up the Feeding our Future numbers and other scandals, it is a significant number. But I am not sure how it totals over $1b. The NYT also threw out this number and now it's being repeated, usually with no mention of ring leader Aimee Bock.

Reminder: Feeding Our Future was started on President Trump's watch, facilitated by legislation HE SIGNED in 2020. Shall we revisit the PPP fraud also encouraged by his hasty early pandemic legislating?

Emmer was quoted with Ellison: "We are committed to advocating on behalf of all of our constituents while ensuring that Somalia has the tools it needs to create strong democratic institutions that provide safety and economic opportunity to its people.”
So I guess he failed?

What is strange about Rep Tom Emmer joining in the Somalia hate is that he was actually decent when first elected. In 2015, Emmer and Rep. Keith Ellison created the "Somalia Caucus." emmer.house.gov/media-center...

This explicitly racist turn is relatively new and parallels the rise of MAGA.

Klobo? Walz? McCollum? Morrison? The silence from the DFL "leadership" is deafening.

Aimee Bock was the ring leader of feeding our Future.

Namcy Hylden was their lawyer / lobbyist.

Jacob Frey lobbied to continue the fraud.

White people need to own their shit.

Today the President of the United States today called me garbage.

I am proud to be friends with Ilhan Omar.

I think he just called me garbage. And many of you.
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

There is no new information here. Just the same unverified report from the same quack.
The Trump administration says it will investigate claims that public dollars in Minnesota obtained fraudulently were then redirected to a foreign terrorist organization.

I’d like to start a crimestoppers fund to incentivize the Minneapolis police to solve the 50% of homicides they allow to go completely unsolved. They point fingers at the County attorney to shift the blame off their own incompetence.
December 2, 2025 at 5:19 AM
So he held a press conference, put up $30k for the crimestoppers reward, stole the money, and the MPD still hasn't solved two of the murders, exposing it all as a PR stunt. And he stole money raised on behalf of mayor Frey before giving the Pledge at the mayors inauguration.

All ties back to Frey.
