WIRED is now on the story. The alleged assassin had "liked" several right-wing extremist orgs from his Facebook profile, including the Alliance Defending Freedom, notorious for its anti-LGTBQ+ and anti-abortion positions.

Those who commit right-wing political violence are often fascinated with police and/or the military.
Attracted to authoritarianism and "order", they'll often cosplay as cops or soldiers (think Rittenhouse). They seek out roles where they have power over others.
A trait common with serial killers.

Bula is usually a bright blue dot in most elections. But it’s gotten smaller and smaller so not sure if that’s gonna continue. The LiUNA hall there is great for doing labor to labor outreach.

Minnesota eliminated prison gerrymandering for future cycles. (Prison gerrymandering is the practice of counting incarcerated people where prisons are located for the purposes of redistricting—that skews power toward more rural areas, typically.)

Minnesota advanced a new paid family and medical plan.
See below for an article on it when it passed the Senate.
Hortman later described the bill as her "most rewarding".

DSA did membership drives by doing car light roadside free repairs. I wish this were possible but then you deal with license issues.
