AOC: Tim Walz’s Non-Weird Masculinity Is Driving Trump, Vance “Nuts”

Vance “nuts.” “I think that Trump and Vance, they think they have some kind of like, monopoly over masculinity,” Ocasio-Cortez said on The Late Show.

Debate about the Northfield City Taxes Continues; Northfield Area Fire & Rescue Working to Keep Costs Low; FEMA State Disaster Recover Center Closing Saturday
On Tuesday night during the Northfield City Council meeting, Councilor Davin Sokup made an impassioned plea to the rest of his colleagues and the city staff members in attendance. Looking at a preliminary tax levy increase of 15.8%, Sokup asked if there was anything in the budget that could wait until the tax base is, as he put it, “in better shape.” Sokup said the increase is too much for lower earning families and those on a fixed income, and he was looking for ways to mitigate the increase until Northfield’s commercial tax base has grown.
