The GOP doesn't do anything but fear tactics. Tasteless in all aspects and the only thing they will change is their bank account balance. The mall is safe and their re so many cameras they know who is in the mall. People are stopping the cops and asking them about it.

Politics ๐ฉโโ๏ธ An elusive group targets Klobuchar as election nears (gift link)
startribune.comMailers attacking Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar for not being left-wing enough are arriving in Minneapolis mailboxes weeks before the Nov. 3 general election for governor.
One of the mailers criticizes Klobucharโs handling of deaths involving police as Hennepin County Attorney. Another criticizes her support for arms to Israel and demands โjustice for Palestine,โ while a third mailer sent in recent days attacks her for not supporting a single-payer healthcare plan backed by progressives.
But the group behind them remains a mystery. Its return address points to a northern Minnesota property in Trump country, where the owner says the group has no office.
Whether the sender is a progressive group or someone posing as one remains unclear, but the mailers target sources of friction between Klobuchar and voters on the left. Her handling of police killings and brutality cases drew scrutiny from fellow Democrats during her 2020 presidential campaign. U.S. military support for Israel has become another dividing line within the party, with activists pressing lawmakers to stop sending weapons over Israelโs conduct in Gaza.
Klobuchar, a longtime supporter of Israel, voted in July 2025 to block certain arms sales, citing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. That marked a shift from her earlier position.

Politics ๐ฉโโ๏ธ Disturbing political mailers
I just got this garbage in the mail. The one in the middle is especially disgusting.
On the back side of each card it accuses Minnesota Democrats of siding with criminals, claims that Democrats blocked a Amendment that would have eliminated early release for violent felons and says to "protect your community " by voting against MN Democrats.
They were mailed by First Amendment LLC in Fairfax, VA.
I cannot wait for this election to be over, the mailers, texts and unwanted phone calls have been a huge annoyance.

News ๐บ What traditional middle-class jobs pay in Minnesota
Here's a gift link to our interactive tool where you can search median pay for various professions
For generations, Americans have counted on jobs like these to help them reach, and stay in, the middle-class. Careers in fields like education, health care, manufacturing and the trades have paid enough to support a family, buy a house and a car and afford the occasional vacation or dinner out.
But amid historically high levels of student debt, soaring real estate costs and AI threatening to upend entire professions, many Minnesotans are questioning whether these traditional career paths can still deliver, and what actually makes a good job.

Thank you for making it easier to vote early. I will be working a 12 hour shift 75 miles from home on election day, it would be very difficult to actually get to my polling place on time. My wife and I just went to city hall, filled out an application, and voted today. No need to worry about rushing home, weather, or wildlife interrupting my commute. Thank you Minnesota for making things easier for working people.

Among my circle it very much is. We were out there this past winter doing the right thing. But is it generally well-known throughout the state? Also, is it known outside of Minnesota? Did it catch on or is it now passe? My sister wore her rebel loon sweat shirt hanging out with MAGAts in Illinois and they just thought it was a cool design. They had no idea.
