I used one of those humane traps because I'm a humane guy. Did not turn out so well in the end...
Minneapolis DFL should: 1. Acknowledge convention failures. 2. Declare that the endorsement of Fateh stands because Frey abandoned the convention. (Discouraging future like-tactics.) 3. Allow full VAN access to all candidates who sought endorsement.
Still haven’t received email confirmation of my first round mayoral vote. 🥲
How much money did Minneapolis dfl spend on that ridiculous convention? How much did candidates spend organizing for it? How much did I spend on Target Center food, drinks, and ice cream? These are big numbers my wife will never find out about.
I will say, if you surrender, the other guy deserves the endorsement.
here is the text to team frey instructing delegates to leave
Minneapolis has 3 good candidates for mayor. All three should continue campaigning hard with each other til the very end. A third Frey term is unacceptable.
Anecdotally, our precinct had zero Frey delegates. The largest number of delegates: undecided but not Frey. Fateh was in second place.
Buckle up for Frey v Fateh.
Amazing turnout at our GOTV knock for our future colleague @doronclark 💙 It’s amazing to see the people powered, community centered campaign he’s built in such a short amount of time.
I support @doronclark. His deep ties & committed involvement in SD60 earns my support to represent our district. He's ready, has relevant experience, understands issues from a policy perspective & will work with others to get the job done. doronforsenate.org/about
FYI, @MayorFrey doesn’t need a consent decree to reform MPD. However, it is a useful political shield for failure and a trophy for success. I wouldn’t mind if Trump pulled it. It’d force Frey to take full ownership of his demanded power.
My platform is live! It's hard to get everything in with such little time, but I would appreciate feedback from the community to let me know what is missing our what could be improved. Email me at [email protected] doronforsenate.org/priorities
Today on my 47th birthday I officially filed to be on the ballot and represent our community at the State Capitol! Learn more about how I got here and why I’m running DoronForSenate.org/about
That Michigan/Bama game was last year's Rose Bowl purchased on Temu.
In celebration of @avax 9000, I went fishing. 🔺 🎣🔺 Shoutout to @Shimano_Fishing for being the unofficial sponsor of @SteadyNFT_!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am proud to introduce the O.H.I.O Sportsmanship Act to make flag planting at midfield a felony in the state of Ohio. Behavior that incites violent brawls and puts our law enforcement officers in danger has no place on the football field.
I lived in Jewell in elementary school. Just found out my sister graduated with him. 🤯
Brian Thompson went from Jewell, Iowa (population 1,200) to leading 140,000 employees and overseeing $280B of revenue at one of the world’s most important companies. His mom worked as a beautician, his dad at a grain elevator—they were probably really proud when he graduated…
Despite having more power than any mayor before him, @MayorFrey still blames and belittles the council. Merits of the budget itself is not even the issue. His power allows him to forgo leadership. The pettiness and disrespect at City Hall serve no one.
Everything @MayorFrey does makes more sense if you consider it part of his groundwork for running for higher statewide office.
