I think it's bad that my coworkers are losing their jobs.
We need everyone, including a huge chunk of our editors, to make a good, trustworthy product in a world that is increasingly slop content.
Amy Klobuchar and Lisa Demuth offered competing visions for Minnesota’s economy on Monday, debating how to lower costs, stop fraud, attract businesses and regulate the fast-growing artificial intelligence industry.

What does it mean to be a true supporter of abortion access?
Michele Tafoya is running U.S. Senate ads in Minnesota saying she's a "pro-choice Republican" and is taking heat from her own party on the issue. Peggy Flanagan says Tafoya is no moderate.

Meanwhile, Tafoya has her own critiques of Flanagan's record on abortion.
Court precedent and legislative action in MN in 2023 have made Minnesota one of the most permissive states in the nation, and Flanagan wants to add justices to SCOTUS.

New: A relentless boss, Klobuchar would bring her intense style to running Minnesota.
Former aides describe a detail-driven leader whose intense style has persisted even after public scrutiny. startribune.com/amy-klobucha…
More than 70% of Minnesotans think government should regulate the artificial intelligence industry, including 53% of Republicans. It's a rare point of bipartisan unity.
Oh, and, 68% are either very or somewhat concerned AI will destroy humanity:

Fascinating that the age group with the highest support for government regulating AI is 18-34:

Trump continues to grow more unpopular in Minnesota. His approval ratings are at an all-time low here:

The war in Iran is deeply unpopular across the state. More than 20% of Republicans oppose it, and 62% of independents oppose it.

The poll found 60% disapprove of Trump on economic issues. He's well underwater with independents. startribune.com/minnesota-po…
“I heard about that.”
That's Michele Tafoya's response to President Trump calling for Minnesotans to pick her in the U.S. Senate race. Not the warmest of embraces.
“Look this campaign is about bringing all Minnesotans together."

On the Iran war: "I would like to see this war end quickly but strategically because we can not allow this thug regime in Iran to take the world’s economy hostage whenever it feels like it.”

New Minnesota Poll: Amy Klobuchar has a commanding 50-41% lead over Lisa Demuth in the governor’s race. Slightly more voters said they trust Klobuchar, the Democrat, to tackle the state’s fraud crisis than Demuth. startribune.com/minnesota-po…
