Even Frey’s supporters have a tough time defending his actual governance and this type of sloppy management is standard practice in the Frey administration. It would be nice if Minneapolis had a mayor that was more professional and engaged in the job.

Do you care about the city of Minneapolis? Wondering about who is running for mayor? I hope to see April 10, at the Minneapolis Area Senior Caucus Mayoral Forum at Sabathani Community Center. Six candidates, lots to discuss.

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem, billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

The greatest challenge in the US economy is income inequality. Tariffs do nothing for that. In fact the impact of increased prices and economic slowdown will be felt disproportionately by working and middle class families.

When they come for privatizing Social Security, putting a direct target on a stable source of income and an assurance of dignity in old age, remember stock market days like yesterday and today.

Friendly reminder that x - Minnesota Frost has won two more league titles than the primary occupant of the soon-to-be-renamed Xcel Energy Center. Just like Minnesota Lynx have won four more than the primary occupant of the joint on the other side of the river. #WalterCup

I’m no political expert, but a popular Democratic former governor (Roy Cooper) running for Senate in NC & two popular Republican governors/former governors not running for Senate in GA & NH (Brian Kemp & Chris Sununu) tells a pretty clear story about the expected 2026 electorate.

If Dems want lessons from Mamdani applicable across the country “it’s less about the ideology, and more about the message discipline of focusing on what people care about and the tactical wisdom of getting out there and talking to everybody,” Pete Buttigieg says on NPR.

Mayor Frey has been busy on the campaign trail taking credit for other people’s work. And recently, Hennepin County Commissioner Irene Fernando took some time to set the record straight and to ask Mayor Frey to take meaningful action to back up his words.

🚨 Read this entire thread. This is what we’re up against in this election. They may have more money, but luckily they don’t have what it really takes to win: good policy, quality candidates and YOU! Thank you to taylr documenting and reporting this back to community 💙

This is completely disconnected from the reality of how elections work in the real world. It amplifies dangerous conspiracy theories. And the promised executive order would be an unconstitutional power-grab.
