On my way to serve as an election judge. We are an elite squad of democracy defending commandos, so don't worry. Everything is going to turn out fine. Polls open at 7 am. Yard signs don't vote. Get in line stay in line.

COMMENTARY: "I'm the kind of reporter who plays it down the middle. Every election I vote for all candidates. Poll worker usually says 'sir would you like to redo your ballot' and I say 'No thanks kid I'm a professional. Not a single thought running through this beautiful mind.'"

i wonder how long it takes until the media picks up that fine associates owes nearly $800k to the city of minneapolis for 2 buildings because i have been trying to get more attention to this issue for more than one year now since before last year's elections

Election eve is when all the campaign pros tell you to go negative, but I'm going positive. Here are the best moments for Hennepin County Attorney candidates Rep. Cedrick Frazier and Anders Folk at last week's bar association candidate forum.

Best moment for Anders Folk was his compelling pitch for why he's the best choice to take on prosecution of federal agents, despite the fact that his yard signs don't mention it. piped.video/watch?v=fvnLEL2n…

I'm so ready to put the election behind us because the endless stream of person on the street interviews with the premise "I'm voting for candidate X because" has convinced me this is a country full of dangerous maniacs and we deserve what we get.

Someone in Linden Hills posted to Reddit their Halloween candy bowl was stolen. Reply suggested putting the candy in foil baking pans instead — bc with the sick sad state of the world, we just accept the criminality. We've all internalized the fact that Moriarty won't prosecute.

Hayley Stevens is getting all this attention for being a lifelong Democrat with a nonsense explanation for why she's teaming up with Trumpers, but nobody's talking about yesterday's bombshell in Minnesota, which could likewise tip the balance of the US senate.

Citing Aisha Chughtai as the reason you, a lifelong Democrat, have decided to turn the whole country over to the dumbest crew of thieving fascists is such a funny lie.

The pro-Folk PAC "All of Mpls" deprived of the chance to run a campaign against the demon lady, running ads against her anyway.

The Wedge LIVE Truth Detectors rate this ad from Pro-Frazier Working Families Party as very mean. It's not unusual for Democrats and Republicans to work in the DOJ under presidents of either party.

Anders Folk campaign and aligned PACs are having to spend a lot of energy down the stretch convincing voters that someone with such a deeply unsettling first and last name could actually be a Democrat. Last thing they need is for it to come out that his middle name is Mohammed.

I was gonna spend Halloween night doing a marathon viewing of every single movie in the Purge series, but then I realized the Purge has been every second of our lives for four years under Mary Moriarty. It's no longer entertainment for me.

The quote is from Margie Simon, who kicked me out of a press conference held by council candidate Nasri Warsame a few days after his campaign forced the evacuation of the 2023 Ward 10 DFL convention by having their supporters storm the stage. The next year he endorsed Trump.

COMMENTARY: "My building just got washers and dryers with electronic payment. All my quarters are useless. I had organized my entire existence around securing access to large quantities of quarters. Now that I can pay for laundry with an app, my life feels like it has no purpose"

Intoxicated, bald, ghostly white Nosferatu character giggling and walking the streets of Uptown carrying a case of beer. Wish I could say it's because of proximity to Halloween but this has been our lives every day of the Moriarty era.

If we're really saying goodbye to the office of community safety, I choose to remember the good times, such as: -proposed contract for violence prevention to a Frey-aligned pastor who threatened the council with violence -contract for an ex boyfriend of a dept director
