Stribbers Dave Orrick and Faiza Mahamud report, “The Minnesota DFL voted Tuesday to ban Nasri Warsame, the Minneapolis City Council candidate whose supporters stormed the stage of a convention earlier this month, from ever seeking the party endorsement.

KSTP’s Morgan Reddekopp reports a Columbia Heights cat took a ride to an Eagan Amazon facility in a semi. “I first assumed it was maybe ‘bring your cat to work day,’ but low and behold, that cat actually came in one of the inbound trailers,” Amazon Station Manager David Aldahl said. “It was very friendly. It was purring and seem to be happy to be found. We’re very happy that it made its way home.”

Frey’s veto likely means that negotiations for potential compromises will have to happen sooner rather than later if the issue has a chance to make it onto the November ballot.”
