Nope. With a raging El Niño, US meteorologists have been predicting more hurricanes for the Pacific and fewer for the Atlantic for months now. None of this comes as a shock, South Side River Rat. A sentence I have never written before. Thank you for that

did you know that the translation in modern latin (which I had to study) Metsa means forest.

The Midway Men’s Club is one of those State Fair institutions I’d hate to see disappear. The food is good, the prices are some of the fairest on the Fairgrounds, and it still feels like a real community gathering place in a way that’s getting harder to find. Even better, the money they raise goes right back into Ramsey County, with tens of thousands of dollars donated each year to youth programs and local initiatives. Good food. Fair prices. Real community impact. Places like this are part of what makes the @mnstatefair special.  I really hope we’re still talking about the Midway Men’s Club for years to come.

Tom Emmer has a new video on his official Facebook page where he talks about the job of House Majority Whip. In it, he never says the words “my district” or “Minnesota” — or discusses what him being the Whip has done for us here at home in the Sixth District. Because the answer is “nothing.” Tom Emmer being the Whip has been good for one person: Tom Emmer. Not us. Gas and groceries prices are rising. Health insurance is still too expensive. Tariffs are hammering farmers. The voters of the Sixth District need to see and hear more from our Member of Congress than “look how important I am!” They want someone to fight for them. To fight for something better. Aren’t you ready for better? 66 days until Election Day. #FlipThe6th #ReadyForBetter

I was grocery shopping. And Rep. Betty McCollum was right behind in the check out line. 1. She has my vote because she shopped alone (no aides) and she shopped Union (Kowalski's), and she didn't shy away from criticism (did I spell that right?)

With President Trump allowing the market to import beef, it is now time to pass COOL. COOL is simply Country Of Origin Labeling. Consumers have the right to know where the product is from. Also, chew on this, less than 2 percent of imported food is inspected by the USDA.

Replying to @MNJobsCoalition
Let me remind you who killed exports of MN corn, soy beans, wheat, turkey, pork and beef and defunded rural hospitals, nursing homes and pharmacies. It was GOP @realDonaldTrump supported by @GOPMajorityWhip, @RepFinstad, @RepPeteStauber and @RepFischbach . Your people!

#SamRules. I hope you are doing well.
Troy Jackson secured 66 of 80 delegates in the 4 counties that caucused so far, per @mikeshepherdME Cumberland votes at 4pm virtually and is by far the biggest delegate prize—Jackson won Portland in the gov primary, but was 4th in surrounding coastal towns where Shah dominated

Ramsey Commish's argument that they are only giving themselves, same raise, give the employees, is simply ludicrous. They're not 'public employees.' Elected officials I believe they are.😀

This is the same man who skipped out of his legislative duties to go day-drinking with Rep. Engen (who was later arrested for a DUI). Walter was also in his vehicle & SHOULD have been cited for not securing his gun while he was drunk. Walter= bad legislator/ bad gun owner!
Minnesota Democrats are vile hypocrites. They pretend to care about decorum when convenient, then shift to their final form - vicious, violence-seeking terrorists who express open distain for you and everything you hold dear. This is why I hold nothing back and give them no quarter.

Mechanic Arts, established 1895, closed in 1976. John Brodrick, a graduate, teacher and hockey coach, will tell you about the hockey game where they forgot to start the clock. Floyd Smaller, a nationally renowned football coach, is all smiles. We’re here at Mancini’s. – at St Paul, MN
When Mechanic Arts High School closed by the State Capitol in 1976, the senior class got to walk with pride. The freshmen, sophomore and junior lettermen never did. On Monday night, those varsity athletes will be recognized at Mancini's, 50 years later: twincities.com/2026/05/03/me…

Southern Minnesota feeds America, and our meatpacking workers do some of the toughest jobs in the country. Speeding up production lines puts our meatpacking workers at increased risk of injury, all just to fatten up the profit margins for corporate CEOs.
We know exactly what faster lines mean: more injuries, more strain, and more risk in already dangerous workplaces. Our members are skilled workers who feed this country every single day. Their safety should NEVER be traded for higher corporate profits.
