Nice review of Sketches of Minnesota by @dangerboatpro, “the importance of conversation and power of humor to help us see each other and ourselves.” Thanks @AnnT! mostlyminnesota.com/2026/03/12/ske…

Been working on this for a couple months. First episode is out on Wednesday. We have some really great guests running some fascinating companies across Minnesota - you should tune in.

@nwlaroche @CityMinneapolis If you’re concerned about the fraud, you should be pretty dang angry about ICE actions in Minneapolis, the administration’s response to the shooting, and the president repeated claims that all Somalis are garbage.

Yes, we stand by what we said. ICE — Get the f*** out of Minneapolis. This is our moment to stand up and do the right thing.

You should read @plattMSP’s @StribOpinion piece. He is a forceful writer. It leaves me hoping I can do something in the year ahead to make Minnesotans have less cause for such anger and criticism. startribune.com/mn-social-serv…

So depressed after reading Adam Platt’s commentary in today’s Star Tribune. He highlights problems with fraud, schools, and infrastructure projects. And what good am I on any of them? Minnesotans are upset about a lot of things, and I am almost no help at all. 😔

Last night my Minneapolis neighborhood of Kingfield hosted its first “Indoor Porchfest.” A late-fall friendly spin on their popular outdoor music festival, they turned a former church into three floors of local bands with some great rockabilly, jazz, and even sea shanties. 🎤🎸⚓️

I talked about this on the City Cast Twin Cities podcast today. But the graphics make it much more comprehensible.

This is what most audiences look like at the end of a show with me.

The Minneapolis mayoral debate I hosted is online in its entirety here.

Good questions here and it sounds like @TaneDanger pressed on follow up! Good! Candidates have been getting away with platitudes. Worth the read 👇

Yesterday I moderated a Minneapolis mayoral debate with Jacob Frey, Omar Fateh, DeWayne Davis and Jazz Hampton. This article outlines some of the key differences that emerged and a video of the whole thing is here to watch. I hope you will: kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…

On Sunday, I’m running the Twin Cities Marathon. Then on Monday I’m doing something of a political marathon, moderating mayoral candidate forums in both Twin Cities. A Minneapolis mayoral forum Monday morning, then a St. Paul mayoral forum Monday evening. 🏃‍♂️😥

Kudos to @mlahammer and @bloisolson for doing the hard work of moderating today’s Minneapolis mayoral debate. We need more candidate programs like this where we empower smart moderators to ask questions and push candidates for substantive answers.

Earlier this summer, I wrote an op-ed arguing we needed a real debate in the Minneapolis mayoral race. I’m grateful that the @CitizensLeague, @MplsDowntown and @MplsChamber took the idea and ran with it this morning. You’ll hear it on @wccoradio and see it on @tptAlmanac tonight.

Tonight on Almanac at 7 pm: - Economics professor @LDJEconomics breaks down what the Fed’s interest rate cut means for jobs, inflation, and your wallet - Dr. @mtosterholm talks about his new book “The Big One” and how to prepare for the next pandemic - @kaomig travels to Grand Marais to learn how changes to Medicaid are affecting northern Minnesota - @MinnesotaDHS / @CMSGov / @NAMIMinnesota - St. Paul Public Schools Superintendent Stacie Stanley explains the November referendum and what’s at stake - @SPPS_News - @TaneDanger shares reflections from a 2,000-person community dinner in Minneapolis - Aaron Johnson-Ortiz of the Minnesota Latino Museum discusses the new alebrijes exhibit and dreams of a future permanent home for the museum - Mark DePaolis returns with a humorous essay on growing older and bad knees - @mlahammer reports on Governor Walz’s announcement of a third term run and a gun control working group that met this week - A panel of former lawmakers—@_RyanWinkler, @jeffreyhayden, @kdaudt, and @PatGarofalo—weighs in on the week’s political headlines Tune in on TPT 2 or stream live at TPT.org/Almanac.

Just finished my last ever workout at the Uptown LA Fitness. I’ve been coming here since it first opened, when there were stores, bars and improv all around it. Loved being able to ride my bike here, and the kind folks I met between sets. Sad to have to say goodbye.

Here’s my argument: startribune.com/dfl-endorsed-d…

Candidate forums are generally very poorly done: lame questions, meaningless talking points from candidates, and no follow-up from moderators. With Minneapolis facing a real mayoral contest, the candidates should have to face a real debate.
