Say what you want about the socialism, Mamdani’s campaign focused primarily on the cost of living in NYC, which was the issue Trump used successfully in 2024. Talking about what voters care about, and offering simple (if unrealistic) solutions is not new in American politics.

Angie Craig: "Our veterans can't pay for meals with 'Support the Troops' bumper stickers and they can't eat thoughts and prayers."

The rich get richer, and the people who elected Donald J. Trump get screwed. Tax the rich. Raise the wage.

Cutting moms and kids off of healthcare in order to give tax cuts to people who don’t need them is the heart and soul of #MAGA and the GOP. This is exactly who they are. They will never care about most Americans.

This is the other thing GOP stands for: violent criminals running the administration.

Another gift to the top 10%, who already have 70% of the nation’s wealth.

Interesting how determined #MAGA world is to deny the reality that 11 million low-income Americans will lose health insurance because of Republican Donald J. Trump. He took your vote and sold you out to the same greedy gang that has run the party for a century.

Could the emerald ash borer please change their diets to cottonwood trees? 🐛 🌳

Happy Independence Day! Our families, neighbors, and communities bring out our best, and that’s the part of America I am celebrating today—plus all the patriots resisting the greed, selfishness and cruelty of the people temporarily running Washington. 🇺🇸 🎆 🎉

Yes, it’s been a great 6 months for rich Americans. Congrats to you, Clay.

That’s what will fix the smoke—a strongly written letter asking fire to stop.

How is Donald J. Trump not just Bush at this point? He’s covering for establishment on Epstein, cutting low income healthcare, serving Wall Street, joining Middle East wars, and funding Ukraine. Fine by me, but he seems like a politician who turned his back on #MAGA supporters.

Right on.

This is a sensible outcome, but this view of the intersection shows how parking lot and car dependent the city is. We need more density in an underdeveloped urban core. Taking businesses for more roadway space does the opposite.

Lost in The Minnesota Star Tribune and MinnPost stories on University of Minnesota Regents is that every single choice of Governor Tim Walz has outstanding credentials. Complaints published are only from those who did not win or get their way. #mnleg minnpost.com/state-governme…

Dysfunctional city politics, State Fair re-runs lead the news. We feel like a small town state while ignoring the reality of big metro challenges. We are letting mediocrity take hold in eduction, health and growth. DFLers need to pull together and start addressing big problems.

Funny how Pete Stauber and Tom Emmer love to take shots at Governor Tim Walz but don’t have the 🥜 to run against him. That should tell DFLers who our champion needs to be in 2026.
