The findings from Met Council's audit of Move Minneapolis, whose parent organization is the Mpls Chamber, are pretty damning. There was some real mismanagement and downright violation of contracts going on over there. The Chamber can not possibly be a serious voice for what Mpls needs given this.

Please court, help us not have to feed people. How anyone who believes themselves to be a Christian can support this administration is outrageous.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

I’m glad that Brian Strahan can rejoin his family in Ward 3, where he has always lived, now that @elliottpayne.org handily beat him for in Ward 1. His pretending to live in our ward was offensive and I’m glad most Ward 1 voters saw right through it. Run against Rainville if you want to serve Brian!

My baby was three months old then. In the next election he’ll be old enough to vote for the first time. Those Obama babies are coming, and they helped fight for their queer parents to have the right to marry, among other things. Give them something to vote FOR, and watch what happens next year.

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

Colorado's shock of the night if this holds, but Republican firebrand Danielle Jurinsky narrowly trails in her Aurora City Council re-elect bid. Jurinsky built a national profile on immigration via Fox News and the Trump campaign, but she trails two Dems in a pick-two race. #copolitics

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Thank you, Ward 1! This strong vote of confidence is an affirmation of the work we’ve done together these last 4 years. I can’t wait to continue serving you for the next 4 years as your City Council Member.

Minneapolis will continue to have a champion in local government because @elliottpayne.org has won reelection!

From expanding alternatives to policing & championing workers rights to unapologetically fighting authoritarianism in this moment, Elliott is the leader MLPS needs.
