NEW: I've published a new post on Substack about the targeted explosion and fire outside my home. At the suggestion of a friend, I'm sharing a one-minute raw video of the fire. This was arson. This is why I haven't slept. This is why I'm furious. 🔗 -> mbrdkrb.com/3GYuAbO

BUZZ: I spoke with #MNGOP sources who said there has been an uptick in major donor contributions since the departure of Jennifer DeJournett as the Executive Director of the #MNGOP. Morale amongst staff and volunteers has also gone up. Her exit from the #MNGOP has been positive.

NEW: @LimitlessProdG on explosion outside my home -> "Eagan Police are investigating a dangerous act of arson that occurred early Friday morning in the Country Hollow neighborhood, after someone detonated a mortar-style firework inside a residential trash can."

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.   Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and…

Ozzy Osbourne has died. He was 76 and surrounded by his loved ones, per a statement from his family.

The Minneapolis DFL convention process left out the votes of hundreds of delegates and does not represent the city of Minneapolis as a whole. A deeply flawed process and tiny fraction of the Minneapolis electorate should not determine the future of our city.

JUST IN: @Jacob_Frey's campaign formally asked @MinnesotaDFL to throw out Saturday's @MinneapolisDFL endorsement of @OmarFatehMN. Their protest centers on the assertion that some delegates' ballots almost certainly weren't counted at Saturday's convention.

750+ delegates & upgraded alternates were there (probably more) at the time of the vote. Even several hours later at 9:20, there were still 699 dels/upgraded alts. It's ridiculous to claim that only 578 people tried to vote for the mayor's race.

NOW -> I'll be on @AM950Radio with @MattMcNeilShow to talk about the incident at my home. Listen now!

Fmr. @MinnesotaDFL Chair challenges the Minneapolis DFL convention Mayor's endorsement result for DSA member @OmarFatehMN

INBOX: Candidate Conrad Zbikowski has challenged last night's Minneapolis Park Board endorsements w/ @MinnesotaDFL He alleges @MinneapolisDFL tellers co-mingled paper ballots while counting them, making it impossible to verify a quorum from each Park Board district

Reposting @whstancil’s Bluesky post about today’s Minneapolis DFL Convention. I was there as a delegate and have similar concerns.

🗳️ Take: I've seen some poorly run conventions, but the Minneapolis DFL convention might take the crown. Many delegates couldn't vote or their votes weren't counted on the first ballot, resulting in a total breakdown that undermined the democratic process.

You can’t get endorsed by a badge count in a competitive race where there are 800 delegates. If anyone says they’re DFL endorsed then everyone should.

Seems legit.

UPDATE: Enhanced video of the explosion outside my home shows more details about the suspect, including that they flicked off the camera before lighting the device. - Gray hooded sweatshirt - Dark pants - White tennis shoes If you recognize anything, contact the @EaganPolice.

NEW: According to sources, the electronic voting system at the Minneapolis DFL Convention is malfunctioning and breaking down. They may have to use paper ballots soon.
