Hello, Minnesota. Welcome to the Twin Cities Kossacks Open Thread, a weekly post for all things Minnesotan. Join us to Connect, Unite and Act with other Minnesota Kossacks. Posting most Sundays.
OPEN THREAD — SUNDAY MORNING — Nov. 3, 2019
Enjoying that extra hour today as we fall back on a chilly November Minnesota day?
Collin Peterson’s (MN-07) vote on the impeachment inquiry, Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s rising poll numbers, and Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign rally today in Minneapolis — those and other MN-related topics are all ripe for discussion. Grab your favorite hot beverage, whatever is left of the Halloween candy, and join me beyond the page break for this week’s tricks or treats.
Anyone planning on going to today’s campaign rally for Sen. Bernie Sander’s with Rep.Ilhan Omar (MN-05) at the U of M? The rally has been moved to the larger Williams Arena to accommodate the expected crowd.
The New Power Generation, one of the bands that played with Prince, will also be performing, Doors open at 4:30 p.m, the rally starts at 6.
This is the third presidential campaign rally in Minnesota in the last four months with Sen. Elizabeth Warren here in August and Trump here in October. Sanders also was here this summer with Rep. Omar campaigning at the Minnesota State Fair, as did Sen. Klobuchar.
Speaking of Sen. Klobuchar, a post by Judeling on Klobuchar’s rising poll numbers are among several diaries reposted this week on the Twin Cities Kossacks page.
Check out the full list below, including Minnesota-specific posts by other writers from the Gopher State: FlannelGuy, Voltage Spike and SassyDemocrat.
We are less than two weeks away from our next monthly meetup of Twin Cities Kossacks, Saturday, Nov. 16, 11 a.m. at Claddagh Coffee Cafe, 459 West 7th Street St. Paul.
We’re taking a break in December, so this will be your last chance to connect with fellow Minnesota Kossacks until January. Can you make it? It always helps to know how many people are coming so we can grab enough seats. Post below to RSVP, or Kosmail me, idlemoments even if you’re a maybe. We usually meet on the third Saturday of each month, 11 a.m. at rotating locations.
