The Minnesota Senate race between incumbent Tina Smith and right wing talk show host Jason Lewis is now a toss-up according to nearly every poll. In mid-September Smith led by 11 points, two weeks ago by 7 points and now it’s even.

Lewis is a Covid dismisser who claims masks represent “muzzles” designed to enforce “total, absolute conformity,” and called on his supporters to “rise up here pretty damn soon before it’s too late.”

We give a lot of attention here to seats we may flip. My DNC emails tell me we need to flip 4 seats, but if we lose any Democratic seats that only increases the number. Let‘s give a little love to the ones we need to keep. Donate

And remember, this was the seat Al Franken gave up.

Earlier this morning a man wearing army fatigues and reportedly carrying a gun put UTA into lockdown until police revealed the man was only armed with a camera. This individual was lucky there were no good guys with guns around to take him out. That may change come August when campus open carry law goes into effect. www.wfaa.com/...

We got our 2015 premium notice in the mail today from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. My jaw dropped when I saw our Bronze PPO plan premium will now be over $1000 a month for 2 healthy non-smokers in their mid-50's. That's a 23% increase from 2014. I found some other unhappy customers on their Facebook page with people getting similar increases. A quick google search shows BCBS of MN, TN and NC with double digit increases.

Is anyone else seeing increases this high? What is happening to the affordable part of the ACA?

I was just looking at the big weather map London Yank linked to in the current recommended diary 5 Biggest Atlantic Storms of the 21st century and noticed a storm system over where I used to live in Winona, MN, about 120 miles south of the Twin Cities along the Mississippi River.

Rob Dreher is a Dallas Morning News columnist and former senior editor at the National Review. In yesterday’s paper he wrote an amazing turn aroundcolumn about the failure of the Bush Administration in the Iraq war. Now, after years of praising the administration he realizes what a horrible mistake the war truly is.
