Hoffman Accuses Craig of Endorsement Push | Minneapolis News

Minnesota’s political stage just got hotter as State Senator John Hoffman accuses Congresswoman Angie Craig of asking for his endorsement while he was still recovering in the ICU after surviving a deadly shooting. Hoffman, speaking at a campaign event for Peggy Flanagan, claims Craig’s team reached out via a mutual friend during his critical recovery — a claim Craig’s campaign fiercely denies, calling it “categorically false.” They say Craig’s first contact was a heartfelt message offering prayers on the day of the shooting, and any endorsement request didn’t come until August 5th — after Hoffman had already begun endorsing other candidates. With the DFL Senate primary just weeks away, the feud adds fresh drama to an already tight race. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Pokémon Shop Robbed in Forest Lake | Minneapolis News

A smash-and-grab heist at Punch Out Gaming in Forest Lake left the store shattered and robbed of $30K–$50K in high-value Pokémon collectibles—items whose future worth far exceeds their invoice value. This is the third game shop hit in the Twin Cities in just one month, despite upgraded security. Owner Eric Johnson described the chaos, noting insurance won’t cover the appreciation lost. The store remains open under a temporary cover while they wait weeks for new glass and plan beefed-up security—maybe even a guard dog. Authorities haven’t linked this theft to others or identified suspects, leaving small businesses scrambling to recover from these brazen, targeted attacks.

Shanahan’s Injury Update | Minneapolis News

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan suffered a serious car crash last week, sustaining multiple injuries including a broken nose, three ribs, a broken hand, over 40 facial stitches, and a concussion — but thankfully, no life-threatening damage. He’ll return to team activities in a limited role as assistants step in to cover his duties. The other driver walked away unharmed, and authorities confirmed no drugs, alcohol, or citations were involved. Shanahan, entering his 10th season with the 49ers and already boasting two Super Bowl wins and an 82-67 record, is recovering well at home ahead of the Sept. 10 season opener against the Rams in Australia.
