In the late part of the September 11 episode,
David did a comparison for the grunts and noises of a Magapotamian, to that of the Cookie Monster.
I’m pleased to announce that it fucking sent me lol, so thank you David for making me lose my voice in the morning for something that I took way funnier than it probably should’ve been.
Big fan!

Article text: An ICE agent has been charged federally over his alleged actions tied to the shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant in north Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge.

A federal grand jury indicted the agent, Christian Castro, but the charges remain under seal, according to people familiar with the indictment. One of those people confirmed that the charges are related to Castro’s false statements to law enforcement about his shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis on Jan. 14 in north Minneapolis.

Northfield farmer Mark Legvold wants to put the “F back in DFL," he said in between greasing and changing oil on his John Deere combine.

His campaign strategy in state Senate District 58 is centered around connecting with residents who’ve felt unheard by his party, like fellow farmers. Legvold has “gravel road Wednesdays” on his weekly schedule.

Both he and incumbent Republican Sen. Bill Lieske, agree that the district is purple. But the two label themselves quite differently.

Legvold is attempting to chart a moderate Democratic course. Lieske legislates from the right wing of his party, serving as a leader in the Minnesota Freedom Caucus and suggesting the Jan. 6 riot was a hoax on a podcast last year.

I dropped off a bake-and-serve prepared meal when I heard of the loss in your family. I volunteered alongside you amidst tornado relief. I stood next to you in line at the church potluck.

We were in 4H together, or frequented the same gas station convenience store. Maybe you've received a box I helped prepare from the food bank—or maybe we shared an awkward smile of shared struggle and understanding in the line as recipients.

Lately, a lot of money is being spent to convince you that people like me are the greatest threat to our state, and that our mere existence is more pressing than the economic hardship, systemic hunger, and failing education system. They turn your neighbors into political boogeymen only so we keep looking across the fence at each other instead of demanding real solutions.

When you look at your ballot, remember the people who actually share your struggles, not the caricatures on the screen 🫂
