The Thunder foul a ton defensively. That is baked into their strategy, as they are trying to create turnovers. They know the refs won't call everything, so it's worth it for the boost. That is part of the reason their net rating is so high.

Looks like soccer

In a shady deal, Amazon bought this parcel for 10x the value and now they've backed out of development? Maybe we shouldn't trust companies that hide behind shell companies and NDAs and then spike deals at the most politically fragile moment for the state in over a decade.

A perfect example of why Governor Tim Walz & the State Legislature need to eliminate legacy exclusionary local zoning practices in MN. We allow an extreme minority of incumbent home owners to veto new housing, denying others opportunity & raising costs. #MNLeg startribune.com/blaine-homeles…

Four newspapers in rural, northwest Minnesota announced they'll be sending their final papers out this week. I thought the founder's reason for the closure was interesting: grandforksherald.com/news/minnesota…

Elon fired the IGs and gutted the federal agencies investigating and regulating his companies including the SEC, NLRB, DoD, NHTSA, FDA, DoA and FAA. DOGE could only verify $5 billion in savings for this year, while potentially costing taxpayers $135 billion. There’s your fraud.

I think one of the most frustrating things about this debate is that these people seemingly have no idea how politics actually works. Popular messaging is how people win elections!

The Saint Paul Jobs Corps site provides workforce training and housing to 250 or so people, mostly young folks. fox9.com/news/job-corps…

Such a silly little rhetorical trick. The prevailing message on inflation between 2022 and 2024 could have been a populist message around corporate power and sellers inflation. Instead, the Democratic candidate listened to Vox and corporate lawyers and disowned Lina Khan.

Polis just vetoed the first statewide ban on algorithmic rent fixing in the country. Denver is the second-most impacted city in the country by rent fixing algorithms, which reduce supply, increase evictions, and hike rents by hundreds per month. This is your Abundance Governor?

The folks advancing the ideology that underwrites these vetoes from Polis today should be ashamed and embarrassed, and cast out of the Democratic Party.

NEW: Elon Musk’s massive xAI data center is poisoning Memphis. It's burning enough gas to power a small city, with no permits and no pollution controls. Residents tell us they can’t breathe and they’re getting sicker.

A bizarre fact I learned while writing my book is that this lady was known for hooking up with wounded SF soldiers at Walter Reed. I have a woman on tape, on the record, describing how SENATOR Joni Ernst ruined her marriage by fucking her husband after he lost his leg in combat.

Disingenuous schlock but it's nice to know that we live rent free in that head.

I’m tired of narratives that undermine the truth of what residents see with their own eyes. ICE was present today around Lake and Bloomington-contradicting what law enforcement agencies said earlier today. Faces covered, militarized showing, badges that say ICE- it was witnessed.

NEW: Dupont and 3M have been secretly poisoning America for decades. PFAs — also known as forever chemicals — are now in our food, water, clothes, and our blood. These companies knew its chemicals were highly toxic. But they chose to use them on everything you own.

An important piece from Pat_Garofalo on the threats to Minnesota's 2023 ban on noncompete agreements from corporate interests 👇

I agree with Derek that public housing projects shouldn’t cost $1.3 million per unit. I also agree that the government should be able to build public housing for the same (or, ideally, lower!) cost than private developers. Here’s the catch: The housing project Derek is talking

“There used to be 11 equipment dealers, now there are two. There used to be 18 feed mills and grain elevators, now there are 3. There used to be eight vet clinics, now there are two. There used to be three sale barns, now there are none. There used to be regional stockyards in

It's fine that this is your "theory of power" but it doesn't change the fact that power exists independently from your blog. More meaningless theory that doesn't align with how the world actually functions. For god sakes the President just sent the National Guard into LA for TV.
