In this episode of the American Experiment Podcast, Grace and Kathryn hit pause on Minneapolis’ own version of Mamdani. That’s right, socialism didn’t stop at NYC’s city limits; it made its way to Minneapolis too…

They also dive into Minneapolis’ latest study on how to tax the rich, plus the city’s wild idea of launching government-owned grocery stores…right here in Minnesota.

And finally, Governor Walz racks up a $430,000 taxpayer-funded tab to prep for Congress… and the line items will blow your mind. Kathryn brings the receipts, including $1,710 for “reading conservative groups’ statements.” (Shoutout to any Walz lawyers getting paid to watch this episode!)
