You can disagree with Mayor Frey, you can even not love his dancing:), but all of us, even Republicans who don’t agree with him on anything - owe this man and his family respect and thanks - they go through hell to try to hold the city they love, and the economic engine of the state together against an army of absolutely clueless people determined to destroy it
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says he'll veto the ordinance requiring a human behind the wheel of autonomous robotaxis like Waymo. The council passed the ordinance 7-6, so seems unlikely they'll get the 9 votes needed to override. Background: minnesotareformer.com/2026/0…

Hey @delta, you see determined to ruin my wedding. Canceled flights, lost reservations, lost luggage. With four kids. Disaster. How are you going to fix it?

@Delta I picked up extra clothes instead of being with family, but couldn’t find replacement wedding shoes. Suggestions?

Speaker Hortman’s life was grounded in caring — for her family, her colleagues, and Minnesota. Six years ago, she expressed it better than we ever could.

Thank you, Mr. President

As I paid my respects to Speaker Hortman, her husband Mark and their dog, Gilbert, I felt the raw grief of so many Minnesotans. A political assassination is an attack on our State’s heart, no matter our politics or place. President Biden’s attendance today acknowledged that truth and demonstrated humanity over partisanship. I’m a Republican, but I’m a Minnesotan first, and I encourage President Trump and other GOP leaders to pay their respects and attend the funeral tomorrow. Our state is shattered, anxious, and in need of healing. This isn’t about votes or power, rather honoring a life dedicated to service and showing Minnesotans we can-and we must-rise above disrespect and division. Tomorrow can represent a new path forward, but it takes all of us being there.

I’m grateful that this nightmare has come to an end with the suspect captured so he can be charged, prosecuted, & punished for the horror he has wrought on MN. Thank you to the local, state, & federal officials who ensured this evil man faces justice.

There are simply no words to capture the depth of this loss—not just for our city of BP, but for the entire state of Minnesota. Speaker Emerita @melissahortman, your legacy, leadership, & unwavering love for the people will never be forgotten. But for now… we mourn. 💔😢😭

Minnesota is heartbroken. I am heartbroken. Melissa was an extraordinary leader and friend.
Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.
