@JessRMyers Amen.

Not my favorite Sean Payton playoff loss. But they’re all fun in their own way.

Joining MPR and @CathyWurzer at 8:20 this morning. Minnesota and Davos have dominated the political headlines, but I wonder if these little beauties may also be a topic

@adamwren @dkanninen @kenmartin73 He had unprecedented success in MN keeping the party operation focused on winning. Seems to be an underappreciated skill.

.@kenmartin73 has not lost an election yet as DNC chair.

Wow, a guy mentions Charles Weed in a tweet, and look what shows up! startribune.com/south-minneapo…

Hi, Xworld. I missed you. Currently at the Alexandria MN @culvers with 13 other cars that have drivers who have paid and are waiting for their orders. Another 16 people inside with the same problem. To use my friend Charles Weed’s line, it’s #agonizinglyslowfood

@shannonkwatson @LisaDemuthMN @melissahortman @ChasAnderson Really fun event. The informal one-on-one discussions afterwards were also enjoyable. You created a good format for analyzing a unique political era.

@LisaDemuthMN @melissahortman Guest change! Now up @ChasAnderson and @toddrapp

Cool Member Appreciation event at @MPRnews -- a live audience for this week's Politics Friday broadcast. #mnleg @Stowydad @LisaDemuthMN @melissahortman

Nothing makes a day go by quicker than responding to messages from people I know who received a fake DropBox email from me. I’m sure it is improving their days also. Do hackers receive bonuses from their bosses for particularly annoying acts of treachery?

@duluthnews An extraordinarily kind person. Her legislative districts were fertile ground for the ongoing tension between how the DFL was becoming more progressive and much of rural Minnesota was not. Which made talking politics with Mary very instructive.

@ActorAaronBooth Always a possibility. Maybe more likely when summer special sessions become a threat.

I would maybe look at if there is a Republican or two in seats where they are on serious borrowed time. Maybe one of them decides they will be an independent caucusing with the DFL to 1. win reelection and 2. dictate all 2025-2026 legislation.

@DanPollockLGN The busts in this Hall of Fame likely include “Tom Rukavina” and “Pat Garofalo.”

@toddrapp We'll see a lot of surprising #Mnleg bipartisan allies and efforts. Ask a Member who their favorite person is on the other side of the aisle. The answers are sometimes astonishing.

In 1978, when the MN House was last 67-67, members could look across the partisan aisle and see others who shared geographies, social ideologies and economic philosophies with them. Today, that is more rare. How will the breakthroughs occur? #mnpolitics

@kdaudt @JenDeJournett

Minnesota house appears to be tied 67-67 for the first time in 46 years.

Required reading for anyone following the 2024 legislative elections in MN.

Just getting started with @toddrapp @TomCrann @Stowydad on @MPRnews talking all things election 2024! Tune in to mprnews.org

About to jump on MPR! All the comforts of home here in the studio.

Just a little over 10 hours left for voting in Minnesota today. Afterwards, join @ChasAnderson @TomCrann @Stowydad and me on @MPRnews for live analysis of the vote totals as they are being reported. The boss says we should expect to be on duty ‘til at least 2 AM.

Just 24 hours until … @ChasAnderson and I report for duty with @TomCrann @Stowydad and the great team at @MPRpolitics for Election Night coverage. A few predictions, lots of analysis, probably too much coffee.

Many thanks to @MNUtilityInvest for inviting me to share thoughts about #politics24 at its Annual Meeting. As always, the questions were the most fun: AI, national popular vote and the breadth of election fraud were high on the list of topics of interest to the members.

Definitely bucket-listing tonight with Meaghan.
