I love Isles Bun pecan rolls but their entryway & line set-up is absurd (and unsafe). I suppose stuff like this is good marketing, but there’s an underused space on the corner and they should grab it, be more like Turtle Bread on Chicago.

With 3 of 6 bike bridges set to be closed simultaneously this summer, + the completion of Hennepin/1st bikeways on the east side of the river, there’s never been a better time for the County to plop down some jersey barriers to protect riders in the dangerous Hennepin/1st bridge bike lanes!

A Ted Cruz alum sponsored this, of course. It’s cold comfort considering it passed, but there are a number of Republicans quoted speaking against it.

Legit beef about Stone Arch Bridge & Bridge #9 (U-area) both being closed this summer - as a biker I love them like family - but the 3rd Avenue & 10th Avenue bridges have had bike lanes dramatically upgraded in recent years & while not perfect replacements, do exist.

People underestimate the subtle roles gov workers play. How many small businesses are supported by one partner being a gov employee providing healthcare to entrepreneurs? How many coaches and scout leaders are gov workers? These jobs are so important to communities and families.

Collecting the biggest dipshits on the planet. Wild story but sobering in how effective it’s been.

You can bet he’s gonna hurt traditional Medicare to get everyone over to Medicare Advantage, where people will get a few extra benefits and then be absolutely crushed by insurance company prior authorization for narrowing provider networks. Hope my fellow olds enjoy pre-ObamaCare shittery!

Hope Capitol reporters ask Niska if he’s running for AG. State House GOP making *this* the first bill says a lot about ambition (and MAGA hopes to neutralize Ellison who is helping lead the fight against a president who claims he’s king).

Demuth: “We know that voters wanted Republicans in charge of the House.” The gaslighting is strong. Democrats earned 1000s more votes in MN House races and sent a 67-67 tie to the House of Representatives. Stop lying and start working on issues that will actually help hardworking MN families.

Devastating news. I nearly went to Northland as a freshman undergrad in the early 90's and loved their mission and vibe. I know many people who've worked tirelessly to keep it going, and I feel for them.

Another timid Strib headline, but the story is clear: DOGE cuts are worsening an already bad Lake Superior National Forest situation - including firefighting (which the administration has lied about) as we face summer after a dry winter. www.startribune.com/how-will-job...
