Nope, this isn’t Republican gerrymandering. Just the Democratic Party disenfranchising its own voters.
Some background: incumbent Mnpls mayor Jacob Frey was losing the Democratic caucus for mayor so he walked out before the voting ended and then contested the results.

Spotted today in West St. Paul: Tesla Cybertruck with “TOYOTA” on the tailgate.
I guess since they can’t sell it or trade it in, then might as well brand it with a different company.

What are my options besides paying Substack $50 for the privilege of using my own domain (wtf), or spending $39 a month on Beehiiv? Can Ghost do this? Wordpress? Y'all I'm so tired, I just want to be able to write and I am so exhausted from thinking about platforms endlessly.

I don’t care how much Fox is paying Tom Brady to call games. He should be sitting on the bench learning from Greg Olsen until he’s ready to be a starter.

Dear NFL and sportswriters,
Can we please make a New Year’s resolution not to use meaningless, cherry-picked stats just for the sake of saying an athlete created a new record?
For example, “he was the first QB to have 3,600 pass yards, 22 TDs, 600 rush yards, and 215 first downs.”
Please stop.

Joe Burrow played 10 games last season and the Bengals didn’t make the playoffs this year.
Damar Hamlin had a cardiac arrest in game 5 and came back in 2024 as a starter on a Bills squad that made it to the AFC championship.
One player clearly deserved to be Comeback Player of the Year.
