🚨 BREAKING: The @mngop State Executive Committee voted unanimously late last night that Chairman Plechash did NOT have the authority to release the gubernatorial candidates from their pledge to abide by the MN GOP endorsement.
Plechash himself voted for the motion.
@TheRealGOP The current language has been law since 2024.
But, after the party nomination, the prohibition doesn't start until early voting starts. (46 days before the election)
@sdho@JoshMartinMpls The definition of "conduct" is very broad, and would likely cover the ad.
However, if it appeared after the nomination, it's outside the timeline regulating the material.
@BrianaRoseLee@NortonMpls Right. We're in that post-nomination, pre-early voting window.
So, I guess you're free to use AI deep fakes of candidates until September 18th. 🤷🙄
@seveneyes33@barnes_law What provision of the WPR gave him authority to initiate hostilities in the first place?
Attacking civilian ships isn't one of them.
Agreeing to abide by the endorsement was a mistake from the start.
Democrats learned long ago that conventions don’t necessarily pick the strongest statewide candidates.
The MNGOP remains more committed to indulging its own sense of importance than producing a viable nominee.
🚨 BIG WIN: Judge Castro just DENIED the City of Saint Paul's motion to dismiss our preemption lawsuit. Caucus v. City of Saint Paul is moving forward in Ramsey County.
The City argued it could pass a gun ordinance as long as it delayed enforcement. The Court wasn't buying it.
NEW: Multiple ICE warehouses were sold by people in Trump's circle who were sitting on the properties and losing money.
We dug into it, and found that some properties were bought by the feds for 10x their list price.
It's a new level of corruption — and you're paying for it.

@SNienow 🤣 I started using em dashes in law school and never recovered. Before that, I was abusing ellipses to break up fragmentary thoughts—so this was less a transition than a lateral move.
As someone who has worked in emergency management for most of his professional career, this is really a dumb statement and factually wrong on how things work in this world.
And also... be better.
Bipartisan public-safety policy does not become stronger when it is stapled to divisive gun-control proposals. It becomes expendable.
6 of these 9 proposals could pass the #mnleg tomorrow. But the goal isn't to have them pass.
The goal is to make Republicans vote against gun control, then pretend they voted against safety.
Campaign mailers trump public safety... again.
Annunciation parents are urging House Republicans to allow a vote on a comprehensive gun safety bill that includes school safety funding, mental health support and bans on assault weapons after a mass shooting in August. fox9.com/news/annunciat…
🚨🚨🚨 South Carolina Supreme Court overturns murder convictions of notorious attorney Alex Murdaugh because the Clerk of the Court Rebecca Hill committed misconduct during the jury trial, including...
🚨Minnesota Republicans are literally hiding legislation in a desk drawer to prevent it coming up for a vote.
One of Speaker Demuth's deputies just admitted he was "instructed not to report" a bill banning assault weapons/high-capacity magazines that the Senate already passed.
