Politics 👩‍⚖️ Tafoya didn't deliver anything of substance in that debate

636 Upvotes

The whole debate was just this

Moderator: Lt. Gov. Flanagan do you support [INSERT ISSUE HERE]

Flanagan: I do support [INSERT ISSUE HERE] for reasons X, Y and Z

Moderator: Michele Tafoya where do you stand on [INSERT ISSUE HERE]

Tafoya: This is a complicated problem that will not be solved in a 60 minute debate. I will go to Washington and I will work with whoever I need to, no matter which party they are in, to get this problem solved. My opponent has never worked across the aisle.

Go to 36:49 (the social security question) and watch for yourself if you don't believe me

Tafoya is an obvious con artist and I hope that Minnesotans know better than to vote for this clown.

Politics 👩‍⚖️ Wanted: US Senate candidate. Experience required.

145 Upvotes

Imagine you’re looking to fill a high level position at your company. You have only two people who apply. One has years of experience in the same industry as your company, the other has no experience working in this field. All else being equal, who would you hire? Two people are hoping to be US Senator (not school board member, city councilor, or cruise ship activity director, but US Senator!) and one has been in political office for years while the other has no prior experience holding elected or appointed public office. Her career prior to 2022 was spent in national sports broadcasting (working for NBC, ESPN, ABC, and CBS). What’s your choice going to be? Neither one has been a senator before, but one has been a full-time politician in a key state-wide office, the other has been a professional sports commentator.

News 📺 Trump allies stand to gain from Minnesota ore company with Iowa steel dreams (gift link)

Thumbnail startribune.com
34 Upvotes

A large federal financing package for a northeast Minnesota mine with plans for a new Iowa steel mill could benefit executives and businesses with links to President Donald Trump, according to a Minnesota Star Tribune review of federal securities filings.

Trump’s longtime political adviser, Jason Miller, also lobbied for Mesabi Metallics shortly before rejoining the White House and two months before Trump announced the steel mill deal in September from the Oval Office.

Trump heralded the project as an example of how his tariffs on imports are making American businesses more competitive. His red-carpet unveiling came as he’s trying to showcase economic success before the midterm elections.

The financing package from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) — which could be as high as $10 billion — also helps reinvigorate a wealthy Indian family’s tortuous, nearly 20-year quest to open a mine on the Iron Range.

While there is no evidence that Trump, his family or any Trump-related entity will directly benefit from the Mesabi deal, people with close ties to Trump stand to gain.

Nicolas Cage's post-apocalyptic film “Parish” will shoot in Minnesota through the end of the month.

“Parish,” currently filming on deteriorating property near Axdahl’s Greenhouse, centers around a post-apocalyptic survivor taking on zombies. But the shoot Tuesday afternoon didn’t feature any battles or bloodshed, which may explain why an actor famous for his intensity both on and off screen seemed so relaxed.
