Jimothy’s brethren in Minnesota. I visit a couple old friends who are defying the odds and living the good life.
A disabled Bloomington woman lost her main form of transportation when her wheelchair accessible van caught fire earlier this month. Nobody got hurt, but getting around has gotten a lot harder. I paid her a visit and got a firsthand view of the fire and how strangers have started to help.
Catalytic converter thefts after the law changed. I’m following up on some of the laws passed since I started the Capitol beat. Let me know if you have one where you’re curious about the impact.
Minnesota investigators are finally getting evidence from the Feds in the shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Sosa-Celis by immigration agents. And yet, the Pretti family’s attorney says a meeting with U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen was not encouraging. www.fox9.com/news/months-...

Tyus announced he’s coming in as a redshirt freshman, so unless something crazy happens, he’s a redshirt.
Dozens of Minnesota women have had innocent social media photos turned into pornography that could haunt them for the rest of their lives. Here’s the PG version of what happened to them. Tonight at 5&6 on @fox9mn.bsky.social you'll hear from 3 victims and the lawmakers trying to stop nudification.
Operation Metro Surge here in Minnesota is a big part of the reason Secretary Noem will be moving on.
…at the empty desk art installation honoring Harper and Fletcher Merkel, the students killed in a mass shooting on Aug. 27. Some of the notes left behind say so much.
A whole lot of Annunciation students came to the Capitol today. Gov. Walz joined them in a singalong in the rotunda, but what really caught my attention was Harper Moyski’s friends and classmates carefully examining all of her notes and awards, and sports equipment…
60 more empty desks outside to represent each of the Minnesota children killed by gun violence since 2021.
Lydia Kaiser, who survived a gunshot to the head on Aug. 27, says lawmakers have a duty to protect students like her from gun violence.
where Gov. Walz and DFL lawmakers are unveiling a series of proposed new gun safety laws, including a ban on “assault weapons” and high capacity magazines. Walz says Annunciation should be the final straw.
Two empty desks in the Capitol today for Fletcher Merkel and Harper Moyski, killed August 27 at Annunciation church. Harper’s parents put finishing touches on this part of an art installation here today and then walked up to a press conference…
Week 1 at the Capitol is in the books and it’s been filled with shenanigans.
Gov. Tim Walz says he’d “rather eat glass” than fill out Sen. Klobuchar’s senate term if she's elected governor.
In and out. The first sessions in each the House and Senate have adjourned. Sen. John Hoffman is now speaking about his return after an assassination attempt. The rest of the day will be spent in tribute to former Speaker Melissa Hortman.
“Minnesota never wavered.” Gov. Walz says he’s cautiously optimistic that the “federal invasion” is ending. “They left us with deep damage, generational trauma, economic ruin in some cases.”
The ICE surge is ending soon, border czar Tom Homan says. My fellow Turkey Chaser Erika Brask made a graphic in hopes of this announcement.
I’m in my 50s and haven’t lived in the same state as my parents in more than 35 years, but they sometimes watch me on TV. They liked my live shot today about the interview I did with Gov. Walz.
GOVERNOR’S RACE From a source close to Sen. Amy Klobuchar: Today, she filed paperwork with the state for a potential gubernatorial run. This is a preliminary step necessary in case she chooses to run. She’ll make an announcement of her plans in the coming days.
“It has to stop.” Twin Cities police chiefs say they won’t call to “abolish ICE”, but they’ve noticed racial profiling (of their off-duty officers) and repeated constitutional violations by ICE agents.
The law firm representing Renee Good’s wife and parents has sent a preservation of evidence letter to the federal agencies involved in the investigarion of her shooting death. Also notable: Theyre denouncing all violence…
