@spittinchiclets @BizNasty2point0 The politics. It’s everywhere.

Hockey’s become so much a rich man’s game that who knows how many natural talented kids get left behind because they can’t afford to play.

If the highways here in MN, especially in the city, were updated to 2026, there would be no need for public transportation! Take I35 to I94 into Minneapolis and tell me one lane is enough to go to U of M! Who designed the cloverleafs to enter and exit highways? Super short! Passing lanes disappear? Focus on safer roadways that do not slow down traffic! Fix that problem!

WATCH: Minnesota Rep. Jon Koznick sounds the alarm on the Blue Line light rail extension project: "If Hennepin County wants to build a $3.5 billion train, the rest of the state shouldn't have to pay to operate it or pay the $57 million to maintain it." "The cost of the project would be subsidized by Hennepin County property taxpayers in the form of increased property taxes and higher sales tax." "Minnesotans cannot afford to sink billions of dollars into rail systems that may be obsolete before they even get built."

@NHLFoley How many minutes per game did each of the players average? Did they play power play? What were the average points per game for the other players on their lines?

Gavin McKenna is 3 years younger than the average freshman He finished the season with 1.50 Points per Game That is the 17th-most from a U20 college player since 2000. The full list contains many longtime NHL players. Only one player was as young as McKenna (Macklin Celebrini)

Holy cow - it's finally beginning. The house of cards is collapsing! Here's Minnesota DHS whistleblower Faye Bernstein going public, breaking down the retaliation she faced. She was quite literally barred from DHS and investigated over accusations of racism - and it all started after she tried to address fraud seven years ago. Tim Walz’s administration tried to cover it up. REPOST this everywhere! #thinblueline #Lawenforcement

Whoever is leading these new policy decisions needs to be fired. Your company exists to serve customers. Have any of these updated policies done anything to better serve your customers? If the policy decisions do not start with this important question first, they should not be implemented.

Hi, Missi! For families traveling on Basic fares, seats will be assigned at check-in or at the gate. We will aim to seat families together. When seats are limited, we’ll work to seat children age 12 and younger next to at least one person 13 or older in your party. Feel free to DM us to chat further. - Amanda

Hey @SouthwestAir it’s been brought to my attention that families are being separated with the new seating assignments. How do I ensure that I my minor children are seated with me for their supervision and safety?

@carkerpox Leadership thinking they know what their customers need and want more than their customers. Abandoning the identity of the business to try and reinvent or compete with others who already own that identity is a risky proposition.

Southwest’s change is the death of the company. I was a top .1% user for 5 years (literally flew so much I got companion pass in 2022). The thing is, Southwest misunderstood what their actual moat was. It wasn’t cheap flights though that worked. It wasn’t no seat assignments, though that again was a positive as well. Their moat was that they were the only airline that you could book a flight in 5 clicks if you had an account. Because of the simplicity of their offering and the operation, you could avoid the confusing bullshit that you had to deal with with all other airlines—which tier, which seat, which status, which flight insurance, which bag fee…etc They, the southwest leaders, confused their win as low cost—it wasn’t it was ease of use. And it’s gone—now they’re just like everyone else, but they have no experience being like everyone else—so they’re actually not just like everyone else, they’re the worst of the rest. I have booked 6 flights since the change that would have been a no brainer southwest for me in the past—each one I’ve booked Alaska. Because now, Southwest is only competing on price and flight options. I used to be happy to pick slightly worse flights for the simple fact that I had nothing to think about to accomplish it—now, I am forced to only judge them on the same things that all other airlines compete on. And they’re gonna lose. James Dyson famously said. “Be different, for the sake of it.” We literally call it product differentiation. Southwest was the only airline that was different—and they were the only airline that was profitable for 44 straight years (until COVID). And they gave that advantage away on purpose—Herb Kelleher is rolling over in his grave. Mark my words—in 5 years this is going to go down as the greatest fumble in modern corporate history—they don’t even have the excuse of failure to adapt to a new technology like Kodak or Xerox, they intentionally did this to themselves.

@FluentInFinance Without any idea of where, what, and how the government utilizes those tax dollars! Probably don’t want to know!

Taxing unrealized gains is insane. If you own a $300k home and it appreciated in value to $500k, you would now owe $72k in taxes (at this 36% rate). Imagine having to sell the house you worked so hard for, just to pay unrealized taxes on it.

Which assay correlates with the patient’s clinical features and outcome? What each assay is measuring is different. The tumor informed assay is measuring molecular residual disease, a fingerprint of the patient’s tumor. The tumor-naive assay may be looking at methylation signatures &/or specific driver mutations targeted within the panel. These assays are not the same but, the hope is that the results would correlate, especially at LoDs above 100PPM and matching the patient’s clinical features.

It finally happened. A tumor-agnostic ctDNA assay came back positive. The tumor-informed assay was negative. Yes, both were sent. Let’s move on 😅 This is actually a useful reminder that ctDNA is not one thing. There are a variety of flavors, and discordant results are exactly where those differences start to matter. Tumor-informed assays 🧬 Built from the patient’s own tumor 🎯 Optimized for detecting very low levels of residual disease ⏳ Slower and requires tumor tissue Tumor-agnostic assays ⚡ Off-the-shelf and fast 🌍 Broader signal without needing tissue 👉 Useful when tissue isn’t available or when speed matters Why I paused is obvious: the data didn’t agree. The next step isn’t to pick sides between assays. It’s to step back, evaluate the patient, and remember that no test is perfect. When something comes back positive, the right move is to dig in. What, exactly, triggered the call? Variant type, allele fraction, reproducibility over time. Sometimes the answer is in the details. In this case, I had been actively considering de-escalation for an older patient. Given the uncertainty and the risk profile, we chose to treat (together). ctDNA doesn’t make decisions for us. It informs them. No single assay has all the answers 🧰 Each is a tool, and discordance is not failure, it’s information. The job is to use the right tool, for the right patient, at the right time. @OncoAlert @TheGutOncLab

Imposing term limits on members of the U.S. Congress requires amending the Constitution, as confirmed by the Supreme Court’s 1995 ruling in U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton, which struck down state-level attempts to add qualifications for federal office beyond those in the Constitution. There are two primary paths under Article V to achieve this, but neither is simple or guaranteed due to political resistance. The first method involves Congress itself proposing the amendment: It needs a two-thirds supermajority vote in both the House and Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths (38) of the state legislatures or conventions. In theory, this could happen quickly—potentially within weeks if there were broad support—but in practice, it’s unlikely because incumbents benefit from the status quo and have repeatedly blocked such proposals, including recent ones like Rep. Ralph Norman’s 2023 resolution, which failed in committee. The second, and arguably easiest and fastest realistic path, is through an Article V convention called by the states to bypass Congress entirely. This requires two-thirds (34) of state legislatures to pass resolutions calling for a convention specifically on term limits; the convention would then propose the amendment, which still needs ratification by 38 states. As of early 2025, at least 10 states (including Florida, Alabama, Missouri, and others) have already passed such resolutions, with momentum from groups like U.S. Term Limits pushing for more. This approach avoids D.C. gridlock and could move faster if public pressure builds through voter initiatives or state-level campaigns, though it carries risks like a runaway convention debating unrelated issues. Other ideas, like state-imposed limits via referendums, have been invalidated by the courts, and simply voting out incumbents doesn’t create enforceable term limits. Overall, the state convention route is the most viable shortcut given congressional opposition, but success depends on coordinated grassroots efforts and could still take years

I don’t get it. Our GOP has the majority in the House and Senate, and a President with a pen in his hand ready to go. Yet, Congress refuses to stop the fraud or pass basic election laws.

@Milajoy @SchepisPeterJ @ grok what was the signal chat?

Tim Walz called Trump because the Signal Chat was exposed. First, the fraud causes him to drop out, and now this. He's running scared.

@dish_answers Followed

@Bryan_Haffer Hello Bryan. We'd be more than happy to look into this for you, though please give us a follow so that we can DM you! ~FG

@megynkelly @realDonaldTrump No thank you, Megyn. There’s a large majority of Americans living in MN that do not agree with the fraud, systemic high taxation, and criminal leadership

.@realDonaldTrump should pull ICE out of MN today & announce that there will be no more immigration enforcement in MN at all. All illegals in the US are encouraged to move there. And if any illegal is found outside of MN & gets deported, they can never apply for re-entry.

Yesterday I testified in front of Congress and only TWO Democrat congressmen showed up to the hearing Not ONE question was directed towards me from the democrats about the fraud. Weird… I wonder why lol If Congressmen don’t show up to their hearings they aren’t representing their constituents, wtf are we paying them for?

@DallasAptGP What are the costs over 10 years on the maintenance and repairs? How about management costs? What percentage of units are unrented considering these are within opportunity zones?

We just built an $18.5M apartment complex in Dallas. In 10 years, we will sell it. The federal tax bill will be $0. Even better: The IRS will permanently forgive $5M in tax deductions we took along the way. This is the single most powerful deal the IRS can offer a real estate investor without dying. Here is how we did it. The strategy is called Opportunity Zone investing. It sounds complex. It is not. You follow three steps: • Take a capital gain (from stocks, a business sale, or crypto). • Invest that gain into a designated “Opportunity Zone.” • Improve the property. If you follow the rules and hold for 10 years, the federal government grants you tax immunity on the backend. But the real magic happens when you combine this with a Cost Segregation Study. This is the “Super Move.” Let’s look at the numbers on our Dallas project. We raised $8M from investors. We borrowed $10.5M from a local bank. We built 75 units. Total cost: $18.5M. Now we depreciate the asset. In a standard deal, you depreciate the building over 27.5 years. You get a small tax deduction every year. It is slow. It is boring. We don’t do slow. We hire an engineering firm to perform a Cost Segregation Study. They walk the building. They identify components that do not last 27.5 years. Flooring. Lighting. Cabinets. Landscaping. The tax code allows us to write these items off immediately. On this project, the engineering study unlocks about $5M in “bonus depreciation.” That is a $5M paper loss this year. Our investors use this loss to offset other passive income. It crushes their tax bill today. In a normal real estate deal, this comes back to bite you. It is called “Depreciation Recapture.” When you sell a standard building, the IRS looks at all those deductions you took. They say, “You wrote this off, but you made money.” They tax that $5M at up to 25%. Unless you are in an Opportunity Zone. The OZ rules change the math. If you hold an OZ asset for 10 years, your cost basis steps up to fair market value when you sell. That means two things: • You pay $0 Capital Gains Tax on the profit. • You pay $0 Depreciation Recapture tax. That $5M in deductions? It was a gift. You never pay it back. You got the tax break upfront. You kept the cash flow in the middle. You keep all the profit at the end. This is not a loophole. It is a congressional incentive. The government wants housing built in these zones. They offer tax-free profits to get it. We take the deal every time.

@BernieSanders Denmark/Greenland must have politicians that use collected taxes to benefit their citizens versus fraudulently stealing this money to pad their own pockets. No more taxes!

If Trump seizes Greenland from Denmark, does that mean that all Americans will be entitled to: Free healthcare with no deductibles? A free college education? 52 weeks of paid parental leave? 5 weeks of paid vacation? Because that’s what everyone in Denmark and Greenland has.

The current ownership group, Guggenheim Baseball Management (which includes Mark Walter, Magic Johnson, and others), purchased the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012 for a total of $2.15 billion. This included $2 billion for the team itself and an additional $150 million for a joint venture involving the surrounding land and parking lots at Dodger Stadium.   According to Forbes’ annual MLB team valuations, the Dodgers’ franchise value has seen significant growth over the past decade, driven by factors like on-field success (including multiple World Series appearances and wins), lucrative media deals, stadium upgrades, and overall league revenue increases. Here’s the year-by-year breakdown from 2016 to 2025 (values in billions of USD):  • 2016: $2.5 • 2017: $2.8 (12% increase from prior year) • 2018: $3.0 (7% increase) • 2019: $3.3 (10% increase) • 2020: $3.4 (3% increase; impacted by the COVID-19 shortened season) • 2021: $3.6 (6% increase) • 2022: $4.1 (14% increase) • 2023: $4.8 (17% increase) • 2024: $5.5 (15% increase) • 2025: $6.9 (25% increase; boosted by high-profile player signings like Shohei Ohtani and a World Series win) Over the past 10 years (2016–2025), the value has increased by $4.4 billion, or 176%. Over the past 5 years (2021–2025), it’s up by $3.3 billion, or 92%. These figures position the Dodgers as the second-most valuable MLB franchise (behind the New York Yankees) and reflect one of the strongest appreciations in professional sports during this period.

The Dodgers aren't "RUINING" baseball, they are RUNNING baseball. Everything they're doing is within the rules. TV Ratings are up, attendance is up. Baseball is more relevant now than it's been in decades, and it's mostly thanks to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

@espn If the @Bills do not go out and get this guy a true #1 WR and #2WR, it’s a crime.

"Feel like I let my teammates down tonight." Josh Allen is visibly upset after Buffalo's season ended

The level of hypocrisy by the MN governor (and implicitly the police) to be okay with Minnesotans to defy federal laws and obstruct from the apprehension of illegal criminals when legal Minnesotans (and American taxpayers) cannot even negotiate a simple speeding ticket! You must plead guilty, over pay the insurance companies, and waste hard working Americans time.

What a time to be alive. We're watching the governor of a major American state have a nervous breakdown in real time. The level of irresponsibility and recklessness is off the chart. And the media is apparently totally cool with it. Live reaction. 👇
