This is simply one of the best overviews I’ve seen to date of the current housing debate at the Minnesota legislature and why it is so important.

i genuinely cannot process how debased our ruling class is. these guys will walk around all day in shoes that don't fit rather than tell their boss he's wrong. this whole thing where they pretend a stupid evil guy with brain damage is qualified to run every aspect of everyone's life is unacceptable

Q&A: Rep. Spencer Igo on housing policy in Greater Minnesota Rep. Spencer Igo discusses the Starter Homes Act, a Minnesota proposal aimed at lowering housing costs by easing zoning rules and encouraging entry-level home construction.

"When you have diverse types of housing, from condos, townhomes, single-family homes and multifamily units, you have that diversity in housing, you create affordability."

Hear from bill author, Rep. Igo, on why the Starter Homes Act would lower housing costs.

Housing affordability is slipping in Minnesota — state policy can help • Minnesota Reformer The cause is clear — Minnesota hasn’t built enough homes to keep up with demand.

As it turns out, the formula is quite simple: to ensure more people have access to more types of homes in more communities at better prices….you have to build those homes. And to build them cities have to be part of the solution…not just a forum for NIMBYs.

A disturbing and hypocritical ruling on so many levels. Especially the due process holding.

The court JUST said there’s no deeply rooted right for women to control their own bodies. But there is a deeply rooted right for parents to know if their kids question their gender at school? Come on.

One of the greatest bipartisan opportunities to help more Minnesotans afford a home across state is the Starter Home Act! More homes. More choices. More affordable. #YesToHomesMN #mnleg

In Bemidji, lifelong conservative county attorney surprises with social media posts about ICE Beltrami County Attorney David Hanson is one of many Minnesotans who have taken to social media to express their views on the immigration crackdown.

Today we lift up Beltrami County Attorney David Hanson. Because we're starved for any elected MN Republicans who opposed the lawless rampage through the Twin Cities by masked secret police.

Power concedes nothing without a fight. The news of the draw down this morning is a development that was won by the power of neighbors joining together to keep each other safe. We celebrate the wins.

Yet we know the threat is not over, and so our fight is not over.

Despite what people are claiming, ICE is still actively threatening the safety and well-being of Minnesotans. Their disregard for the lives of the people of the Twin Cities is evident. These agents are a threat to all of us, and they must leave Minnesota.

Trump Using A ‘Softer Touch’ With ICE In Minnesota? Residents Say Don’t Be Fooled. Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

As I note in my piece, these are ACTUAL questions that NBC News's Tom Llamas asked Donald Trump in his 'extended' interview, while not asking a single question about Epstein, or challenging him on a single lie.

Folks, please retweet this. Trump, Noem, and the rest are lying everywhere about what ICE is doing in MN. We have to do everything we can to make sure the country has a clear picture of what is going on.

Are YIMBYs winning the housing wars? Not so fast, these people say. Though the “build more” movement is chalking up wins, supply skeptics contend housing affordability calls for government policies, not just market forces.

The framing reflects a structural problem in how media engages with academic research. Within the academic literature, there's theoretical/empirical consensus that building more housing reduces costs. But one working paper disagrees, and so now it's a "debate."

Border Patrol's use of deadly force criticized in report An independent review of U.S. Border Patrol shootings criticizes the agency for 'lack of diligence' in its investigations and suggests that agents' tactics sometimes create a pretext to open fire.

I feel like this story needs to be revisited with considerably more vigor given what has happened in Minnesota.
