In the Supreme Court hearing going on right now about the special election in 40B, the lawyer for Republicans just claimed that 40B became vacant "when the House passed its resolution yesterday." Which means they think there were 134 members when they claimed quorum was 67.

First GOP claimed that a quorum is 67 because there are only 133 members (40B being vacant). But then their FIRST ACT was to declare a vacancy in 40B, which by their logic should mean that there were 134 members when the "elected" a Speaker, making quorum 68.

St. Paul is going to spend $100,000 trying to figure out if its new rent control ordinance is behind a slump in new construction. Hopefully, they can get to the bottom of this mystery.

Welcome back, Mickey's Diner! Our iconic neighbor has been closed a long time. But the "OPEN" sign got turned on this morning for a soft re-opening. Breakfast is served!

St. Paul applied for federal funding that doesn't cover fire trucks for their purchase of a $1.8 million electric rig. Unsurprisingly, they didn't get it. Also, the truck salesman has taken the fire chief to Wild games 'as a friend' minnesotareformer.com/2024/0… via @MNReformer

Marvin Haynes is now free. While he was in prison we passed a compensation law for those who were imprisoned and later exonerated. fox9.com/news/marvin-haynes-…
Marvin Haynes could get upwards of $1 million from state after being freed

Marvin Haynes could get upwards of $1 million from state after being freed

Nothing can make up for the time someone spent behind bars wrongfully, but for almost a decade, a Minnesota law has created a compensation process for cases where someone was wrongfully incarcerated.

Well folks, @DLCC has defied the odds and made history! This is the first time in a midterm year that the president’s party has not lost a single state legislative chamber since at least 1934. Here’s where things stand:🧵
