Area man on road trip to Iowa:

“We're certainly going to follow the law,” he said. “But we have got to move with more speed to impact people's lives.”

To the crowd, Walz was encouraging, saying their anger is justified.

“The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting,” he said. “You’re not.”

One person we can count on here is Tina Smith.

“President Trump and House Republicans wrote this bill on their own, with no consideration for my views or any of my Democratic colleagues, and they will own the consequences. From the beginning, President Trump and the Republicans set this up as an unprecedented power grab.”

“In exchange for their tax exemption, nonprofit hospitals are supposed to give back to their communities by providing free or reduced-cost health care to folks with low incomes,” Ellison said in a statement, adding the findings uncovered evidence of “actively dissuading certain patients from seeking charity care.”

“While this is disappointing, I am heartened by the substantial improvements Mayo Clinic has made to their charity care program, and I am grateful for their cooperation with our investigation.”

Say, it just occurred to me where that "Careless People" title of Sarah Wynn-Williams's Meta book comes from!

At least I assume that this is to where it refers:

The Great Gatsby by Minnesotan F. Scott Fitzgerald. A famous denizen of St. Paul.

"I couldn’t forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

So good, were these Minnesota authors from the days of yore.

Minnesotan residents! There are hints as of •this morning• that Amy Klobuchar is about to capitulate to Republicans. Call her now — this second, like “if you're in a meeting then say you have to use the bathroom” this second — and tell her not to captiluate to the fascists. Call even if you called yesterday.

The key message: “vote NO on cloture •and• NO on the continuing resolution.” (The “cloture” part is important: some Dems are trying to weasel out by abandoning the filibuster power and then pretend they tried to stop the budget.)

Her office:
‭(202) 224-3244‬
or
‭(612) 727-5220‬

Most of our work to stop this ongoing coup attempt is not going to happen via elected politicians. But right now, today, just for this minute, it’s actually a place where we can have an impact. And it only takes a 2-minute phone call.

Enough talk.

I went ahead and tried baking these "peanut sun blossom" cookies using an Internet-informed egg substitute and they came out beautifully.

The substitute consists of one tablespoon (sorry; not an SI unit) flaxseed meal, and three tablespoons water, mixed up with a spoon in a coffee cup, and added to the mixture in the usual way.

Vegans won't be surprised, but I am delighted with the delicious outcome.

Won't forestall the larger environmental collapse but one does what one can.

Here you go, from the famous Minneapolis milling concern over in Golden Valley. Thorough!

Disturbing story out of St. Paul. A major downtown building at a crossroads of the skyway system has kicked out all its tenants.

“We are very concerned by not just what’s happening with the business, but the way that they're doing it. You can’t treat people like that,” [St. Paul mayor Melvin] Carter said on MPR News’ Morning Edition. …

"[Jeweler Paul] Hartquist said it would have been impossible for him to move in 48 hours and has started to carefully pack up items and take them home. His business has been in Alliance Bank Center for almost 36 years."
