NEW 🧵: A new mailing from Republican @TomWeilerMN in #MN03 says, “Let’s Turn the Ship Around and Save America!” But the ship pictured that Weiler wants to turn “around and save America” is the Moskva, a Russian guided missile cruiser sunk during the invasion of Ukraine.
Below is a picture of the Moskva taken before sinking this past April - it’s the same ship. What makes the use of the Moskva in Weiler’s mailing even worse is that it was sunk based on intelligence assistance provided by the U.S. Read more -> mbrdkrb.com/3yfINJV
You can see the partial name on the side of the ship featured on Weiler’s mailing. His campaign used a picture of a Russian-guided missile cruiser sunk during the invasion of Ukraine. I don't believe people want the Moskva to turn around and save America.

NEW 🧵: Over the last 25 years, I've heard and seen a lot of bizarre things in Minnesota politics. The story I'm about to share is one of the strangest I've encountered in the last few years. Follow this thread for the details.
On the evening of Thursday, March 31, 2022, a debate was taking place between the #MNGOP candidates for Minnesota Attorney General at Providence Academy in Plymouth, Minnesota. At the same time, a local Republican group was conducting their meeting across town.
A surrogate for @doug_wardlow's campaign was about to address the group of gathered Republicans. The surrogate was introduced as Marisa Colby, and she gave a speech on behalf of Wardlow's campaign. After she was done speaking, it was clear Ms. Colby was angry.

UPDATE: In an e-mail to #MNGOP activists, @MNGOP Chairman David Hann pushes activists toward using electronic balloting instead of paper ballots at the upcoming @MNGOP State Convention. Padgett Communications will provide the electronic voting system, according to Hann.
According to their website, Padgett Communications does work with the Walt Disney Company. Disney has become a lightning rod for many conservative activists across the county. This decision may backfire on the @MNGOP. Read more about Padgett here -> mbrdkrb.com/385mA7t
UPDATE: According to public campaign finance records, Todd Padgett, president of Padgett Communications, is a donor to the Democratic National Committee. Source -> mbrdkrb.com/3kDVSFN

NEW 🧵: #MNGOP activists are concerned about a member of @doug_wardlow’s Big 10 Alliance - Omar Jamal. Wardlow’s campaign listed Jamal in a press release announcing the group in March. Wardlow recently tweeted a group picture after a meeting, but Jamal was not pictured.
An MPR story from 2009 noted Jamal was dishonest on his asylum application in 1998. Read backstory -> mbrdkrb.com/3P1dQQy Image
Jamal was accused in 2020 of offering a $10,000 bribe to man to falsely claim he was harvesting ballots for Congresswoman Illhan Omar. Read backstory -> mbrdkrb.com/3y7sW0T Image

NEW: I’ll be live-tweeting updates of the 1:30 PM court hearing in Ramsey County for Larvita McFarquhar, owner of @Havensgarden. This hearing could be very interesting. Read the thread below for background.
@Havensgarden The hearing has started, Judge Sara Grewing is presiding. This is a hearing on the Order to Show Cause…basically a hearing requested by @AGEllison to force compliance with the TRO granted by Judge Grewing.
Kaitrin Vohs, who works for @AGEllison’s office, announced that she is not requesting the confinement of Larvita McFarquhar for her failure to comply with the TRO issued by Judge Grewing. They want McFarquhar fined $250 per violation.

THREAD: Earlier today, The Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board (CAAPB) issued a press release which included the statement that "there is no formal CAAPB policy and process that addresses the potential removal of monuments and artwork from the Capitol grounds."
As I noted in a previous thread, the statement of "no formal CAAPB policy and process" for the removal of a statue from the grounds of the Minnesota State Capitol Complex directly contradicts the statements of numerous public officials in Minnesota. Please read below for details.
As detailed by @thauserkstp, on June 10, 2020, at 3:35 PM, @MnDPS_DPS Commissioner John Harrington said he was aware of the threat to the statue. He said the @MnDPS_MSP would meet with protesters "to explain to them the process that is already in existence" to remove a statue.
