They allowed me inside, I should say

We went to some of the day cares Nick Shirley did. Here’s what we found. Some of the 10 day cares the YouTube content creator blasted for having “no children” invited reporters in to see for themselves.

I went to all 10 of the daycares Nick Shirley featured in his viral video. I got inside 4 and found children. Lots of children: www.startribune.com/day-care-fra...

Key source says story that prompted Trump tirade against Somalis is erroneous The writers of a City Journal story alleging a connection between Minnesota fraud and al-Shabab say they stand by their story.

In November, a conservative website published an explosive claim: Al-Shabab is largely funded by money stolen from Minnesota. But the story's only named source who connected fraud to terrorism told me the story is “bullshit": www.startribune.com/city-journal...

Republican state senator admonishes Trump for calling Somalis ‘garbage,’ invites him to Minnesota Sen. Jim Abeler of Anoka tells the president: ‘No man, woman or child is more or less in the eyes of our Lord.’

goodnight to all the dorks who make democracy possible

I do not but doubt it includes those

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara tells budget committee MPD's response time average is just under 8 1/2 min.s. The goal is to be under 7 mins., which MPD hasn't hit since 2020.

I don’t think so

Will the Minneapolis DFL endorse a democratic socialist for mayor? It could happen Saturday. The city’s DFL convention will pit democratic socialist state Sen. Omar Fateh against Mayor Jacob Frey.

The Price of Remission When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

I have written many healthcare stories, but never before have I written about my own health. I decided to do so after learning one of my drugs costs nearly $1,000 a pill and just 25 cents to make. What I found was an incredible story of discovery and exploitation. www.propublica.org/article/revl...

Chief O’Hara came to Minneapolis to rebuild trust. His relationship with the city is complicated. The police chief was heralded as a change-maker, but he ran into what he calls ‘extreme ideologies.’

Uncle! I have heard your concerns and I get your point. However, this is not an MPD program we’re talking about, it’s Neighborhood Safety. And the council does indeed have oversight, to the point where it approves the very contracts at issue here. I will endeavor to be clearer in the future!

O’Hara to New York Post: Minneapolis has a “very detached, bourgeois liberal mentality” Some City Council members said the Minneapolis police chief’s comments, posted Friday in a story about the city since George Floyd’s murder, were ‘disrespectful’ and ‘disdainful’ of residents.

Chief O’Hara at it again www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Remember this guy from
@deenawinter.bsky.social 's photo? According to a paid advertising tweet from Susan Shogren Smith, he's now been elected to the MNGOP Executive Committee.

I guess I figure most people know who the mayor is and that he’s in charge of city programs.
