‘Trojan horse’: So-called Equal Rights Amendment appears poised for passage next year with new DFL majorities
According to the Minnesota Family Council, the ERA would likely allow judges to "interpret the state constitution to protect the forcing of females to share private spaces such as restrooms, locker rooms," dorms, prisons, and athletic opportunities.
Hey, @MPRnews your listeners might be interested in some details you left out.
Moving out of Minnesota…
“There wasn’t necessarily a final straw. It was just looking at the fact that we were just repeating mistakes. We keep repeating things and our leaders don’t seem to acknowledge them and want change,” Ashley Thoma said.
In a recent social media post, she wrote: “I don’t understand how anyone can look at Minnesota and think, ‘Yep, this is working and let’s keep it the same.'”
MORE: This past summer, DFL State Rep. Dan Wolgamott lost the endorsement for state auditor.
Some of our prior reporting on his problems:
NEW only on Crime Watch: DFL State Rep Dan Wolgamott is in the pokey again. More to come tomorrow with Crime Watch and @AlphaNews. Stay tuned.
This daycare owner didn’t win his race in Somalia but he did in St. Cloud…
EXCLUSIVE: Newly-elected Minnesota lawmaker Abdi Daisane ran for seat in Somalia's parliament
St. Cloud daycare owner Abdi Daisane made history earlier this month by winning a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives, becoming the first Somali lawmaker to represent central Minnesota.
But Alpha News has learned that just five years earlier, he was pursuing a seat in another nation's legislature — more than 8,000 miles away in his East African homeland.
"I am a candidate for Member of Parliament in the House of the People of the Federal Republic of Somalia," Daisane says in an English translation of a 2021 campaign video.
Will Minnesota journalists show up to support @JamesOKeefeIII on Monday?
As a reminder, the corporate media in town honored this “journalist” for her connection to the invasion of a church during a Sunday service.
Submitted: A Minneapolis business owner says she’s called 911 10 times in the last few months, including yesterday for a naked man talking to a phone pole for over an hour. Her personal car has also been broken into while she’s been at work three times in the past few years.
The Fall of Minneapolis
Submitted: The teen section at the Shoreview library includes zines (small booklets to take home) that include gay animals, two-spirit people at a glance, voter suppression, etc.
“I am concerned that this type of propaganda is being printed by the library staff as it says on the back ‘Ramsey County Library staff picks’ for reading suggestions around the subject,” the tipster said.
Stay tuned 💥
BREAKING: Prominent Twin Cities attorney Chris Madel has been retained to represent journalist James O'Keefe.
O'Keefe is facing felony charges of identity theft and unlawful voting in Hennepin County in connection to a viral video he filmed in August.
"James O’Keefe is innocent. These charges are Mary Moriarty's disgraceful attempt to turn her warped politics into a criminal conviction, and we will not be intimidated by the seriousness of the accusations or the politics surrounding them. The evidence will ultimately and completely exonerate James," Madel said.
Another DFL trifecta on the horizon in Minnesota at the state capitol:
“Socialism’s on the ticket… raising taxes, raising unfunded mandates, raising the fees, whether it be tab fees or just any of your government fees,” Republican state Sen. Michael Holmstrom said.
On gun control legislation:
“If you look at those gun bills, they had no idea what their own legislation would do. They just wrote it down, copied and pasted, asked AI. They had no idea what they were writing… They just don’t understand what they’re legislating.
“That’s going to continue to happen… our job in the legislature as Republicans is going to be to throw up that red flag and say, hey, this doesn’t make sense.”
Thank you for joining us, @MichaelH_MN.
Voters 'need us to stand up and fight for them,' says Republican Minnesota state senator
From raising taxes to passing sweeping gun control legislation, Republican Sen. Michael Holmstrom expects to "see it all" with another DFL trifecta on the horizon.
"I'm going to fight twice as hard as I did last year against these bills. They are not going to pass any of this quietly," he said.
"We just need you to let us know and be honest with us about what you need the Republican Party to be, because we’re in rebuild mode and you’re in charge.”

🚨NEW: The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a petition to hear a civil lawsuit filed against Minnesota State Trooper Ryan Londregan, officially ending the case.
The lawsuit was filed by the estate of Ricky Cobb II, who was shot and killed by Londregan during a traffic stop in 2023.
"Ryan has spent years fighting to clear his name. Today is the end of that road. It is time to acknowledge what should have been acknowledged long ago: Ryan Londregan is a goddamned hero," said Chris Madel, Londregan's attorney.
