Delta & Sun Country's battle at @mspairport is heating up in unusual way - and it's part of the reason why loyal Delta flyers are balking at their flight prices lately.
Why? Delta is wielding basic economy as a weapon.

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.

How can you see a judiciary as legitimate when the primary way they show up is on yachts with wealthy friend/litigants holding fish and then in court to keep Americans poorer, less educated, and structurally disadvantaged on the basis of what was once a protected class?

I have long believed forcing gun owners to carry liability insurance is the most pragmatic way to reduce gun violence.

Four years of Martha Holton Dimick as county attorney won’t make us any safer. With her judgment and temperament, it will be a series of poor choices and own goals that will further diminish the county attorney’s office in the eyes of the community.
Vote for Mary Moriarty.

So it seems like a lot of folks have seen the @MNReformer article about Martha Holton Dimick attaching an expired bar card to her candidate affidavit in May. That's the lede, as it should be. Also mentioned in the article is that she's finally authorized to practice law again.
