Hey #minnesota friends, time to fly the New Minnesota flag... The Republicans have been fighting it for months and try to use it as a wedge issue, they want to go back to the old racist flag. Now the press is jumping on this, claiming that it is very unpopular, based on their polling...
Honestly, I have never seen the old flag flown as much as the new flag here in MN.
I just ordered a few vinyl bumper stickers from eBay, too.

#MNGov candidate Lisa Demuth (R) bombs during an interview after she's asked if she thinks Trump is "fit for service." She says yes and then later says Trump is the only person working toward "peace" in Iran — because of a war he started. #MNpolitics

Rankings reveal Minnesota as a better state in a precarious nation

Debunking myths about Minnesota takes understanding the state's strengths and the truth behind its portrayal as a failed state.

Why it matters:

County party meetings decide who represents voters at state and congressional conventions — that shapes candidate picks and policy priorities. Letting community members run the show undercuts the national noise.

Why it matters:
This bill would erase an entire category of free-to-play games and hand regulators sweeping power while ignoring how many Minnesotans already play legally. That’s lawmaking on a revenge tour, not gambling policy.
