Signing Correa to his first Twins contract gave the fan base hope that the team would consider superstars, spend more than the bare minimum, and finally slay the big market teams. In 2023, the team finally won a playoff series. In less than two years, that hope is crushed.

Back in 2009, I drove a limo bus with AP’s family to and from a Vikings game. After the game, I dropped off the family at AP’s house in Eden Prairie and he gave me a $700 tip. I guess that’s part of how he went broke.

"[Wegovy/Ozempic/Mounjaro] doesn't work because if you stop it, the weight comes back." If you stop lisinopril your blood pressure goes up. If you stop metformin your blood sugar goes up. If you stop atorvastatin your cholesterol goes up. Reframe your thinking.

Chairman McCaul says at Emmer’s request, members who have an issue with him are going up the the mics. McCaul says he is responding. (Emmer has taken some votes that some Rs strongly disagree with)
