@zacharywefel Maybe forcing an election in 90 days with the seat vacant would be better. The parties may help mitigate if they lose a vote for a while.

Agreed. We could set it up so that they’re replaced by a member of the same party, so maintaining the integrity of the Legislature is an easy choice without partisan valence. But it should be done either way.

I wish the MN Legislature cared about drunk and distracted driving. I think the rule should be that any legislator who drinks and drives (or commits other crimes like burglary) during their term should be ejected from the body.

@markwgilson It's pretty clear most districts with declining enrollment are banking on a taxpayer bailout either via property tax or from the state.

One of the biggest financial challenges to public schools over the next decade will be enrollment alignment. Do districts adjust to declining enrollment by closing buildings and adjusting staff levels, or do they choose to bleed money? When districts complain, look at enrollment first.

Diet Coke is $9.99 for a 12 pack. Is it made from oil?

@MaplehoodUnited Maybe St Paul could have a big endowment if it weren't for Maplewood strangling it from all sides.

The tax-exempt St Thomas University has 10k students and staff & an annual budget of $290M ($29k per person). That is 36% of Saint Paul's budget of $800M for 300k residents ($2.6k/ea). They also a $800M+ endowment to support these projects. Must be nice.

The University of St. Thomas has done a fair amount of construction on its St. Paul campus since 1997. And here it is — all of it, everything, everywhere all at once: twincities.com/2026/03/22/uni…

A rapper just defended the Bill of Rights better than most politicians ever have. The police raided his house. Destroyed his door. Found nothing. And then sued him for making songs about it. The jury took less than a day. 🧵

@GovPressOffice He is exposing fraud and this is your response? If anything, you should be supporting him and probably paying him.

To lower gas prices, Trump will issue 30-day waivers for the Jones Act, allowing foreign tankers to supply refiners on the East Coast with fuel from the Gulf Coast & other U.S. locations. Since this is an admission that the Jones Act raises gas prices, why not repeal it entirely?

If suspending the Jones Act lowers oil prices, that tells you everything you need to know about the damage it causes when it is in force. Don't just suspend it. End it.

The Jones Act has 4 requirements: Vessels must be U.S. built. Vessels must be U.S. owned. Vessels must be U.S. crewed. Vessels must be U.S. flagged. The crippling part of the Jones Act is that U.S.-built U.S. shipyards, for a variety of reasons, are incredibly inefficient. We don't have that many of them, and they cost about five times what a ship from South Korea would cost. As a person who actually believes in trade, I fully would love for South Korea to become our US shipyard. We just buy ships from them because they're good at making them. Coastal water transport in the U.S. could be 60% cheaper. Because of the Jones Act, it's actually cheaper to ship goods from the U.S. to a foreign country and back to the U.S. than between two ports, which is completely bonkers insane! As a byproduct, we have killed all of the growth within the Mississippi, which should be the most powerful inland economic advantage in the world. Maintaining the requirement of U.S.-owned, U.S.-crewed, and U.S.-flagged is perfectly fine and in line with my general national security concerns, but U.S.-built has destroyed our shipping industry. There's tens of billions of GDP lying on the table here, and a direct step in reducing our dependency on foreign suppliers. It's also how you kickstart rebuilding an American shipyard industry. If you 10x the number of U.S. ships working in ports, you start building all of the maintenance businesses at U.S. ports, and the demand increases. The U.S. bill requirement of the Jones Act is horrifically destructive to America and, in particular, horrifically destructive to middle America, and it should be destroyed.

@seconds_0 @MarysRoommate you want foreign vessels in our inland waterways?

It's a twofer. It's hard on rich folks and a godsend for kids with high academic potential from the most socioeconomically disadvantaged homes. We have a documented, workable way of identifying them: just follow @dilanesper's prescription. Fixing the SAT is easy. Just return the SAT to its pre-1994 structure (e.g., put analogies back in) and toughen the math material. The policy should be adopted by competitive public universities as well as elite private schools.
Dilan Esper@dilanesper

Fun fact: if you make the SAT really tough and make it the primary criterion for admission to elite colleges, it's harder for rich folks to game the admissions system.
