Ohne Harry Kane-Tore gewinnt die Eintracht in München 1:2 - trotz vieler Verletzter. Das veranlasst Marco dazu, den goldenen März auszurufen: 10 Punkte holt die Eintracht da in vier Spielen und kommt dem internationalen Geschäft immer näher. Wird das schön! Auf der anderen Seite der digitalen Leitung fühlt sich Stephan vom VAR abgezogen, denn ein glasklarer Elfmeter, laut Kovac ein sogenannter Feger, wurde nicht gegeben.

Jetzt oder nie. Die Schale kann doch nur ein ehemaliger Frankfurt-Trainer holen. Was wäre das für eine Geschichte?

Drei Heimspiele, drei Niederlagen. Und Eintracht Frankfurt kassiert mal wieder drei Tore. Der Absturz scheint unaufhaltbar. Doch im Südhessischen gibt es einen Fan, der hält trotzdem die Adlerfahne hoch. Der glaubt. Der ist heiß. Der ist angezündet wie eine Silvesterrakete. Es ist Marco N. der die Ankunft des Heilsbringer Albert Riera kaum erwarten kann. Die Zeitenwende bei Eintracht Frankfurt ist eingeläutet - und hält vermutlich nur zwei Niederlagen. We will see.
After much anticipation she would run, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar is now a candidate for Minnesota governor. The race was thrown up in the air after the sudden exit of Gov. Tim Walz in early January.

Der Club verliert sein Heimspiel gegen Dynamo Dresden mit 1:2, deutlich überschattet werden Begegnung und Ergebnis aber von den gewalttätigen Auseinandersetzungen hinter der Nordtribüne während der Partie. Wir sprechen sowohl darüber als auch über den sportlichen Teil und fragen uns ganz am Ende, was das jetzt wohl u.a. ganz kurzfristig alles für den Heimauftritt gegen Hannover bedeutet. Im "Sonstiges"-Segment geht es diesmal um eine neue Liga, die die DFL für U21-Teams einrichten will. Außerdem streifen wir kurz das Thema "WM-Boykott". Ausgabe 393 erscheint voraussichtlich am 4.2.2026.
Ihr fragt euch sicherlich, wer Marco aus dem Tal der Tränen holen soll. Doch euch sei gesagt: es gibt kein Tal der Tränen. Es gibt nur positive Vibes, denn die Auferstehung der erfolgreichen Diva vom Main ist nah. Mit jedem Tag der vergeht, ist Marco dem nächsten Eintracht-Sieg ein Stückchen näher. Und so reitet er mit Rückenwind durch Folge 259, vorbei an scharfen Spitzen aus der Community den Sonnenaufgang entgegen. Denn dort am Horizont steht er, der Heilsbringer. Nicht Rose. Nicht Blessin. Nicht Guardiola. Dort steht Albert Riera.
Send us a textIn publicly telling his story for the first time, former GOP candidate Paul Wikstrom spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast about how his challenge to election fraud ultimately helped shine a light on all the other kinds of fraud in Minnesota.Wikstrom explained how he was running against DFL opponent Curtis Johnson to represent District 40B in the Minnesota House. But something wasn't right. Johnson didn't actually live in the district, as required by state law. After investigating, Wikstrom challenged the election and Johnson was disqualified, which led to a special election. Wikstrom didn't win. But his investigation and challenge helped put a stop to the DFL and "their runaway spending,” he said. Wikstrom also explained how the focus on fraud at the legislature “all started with a challenge to election fraud.”Support the show

Trust in government is low. Politicians are trading personal insults on social media. And, Americans see the country as more divided than at any other time since the Civil War. What would it take to bring more dialogue, respect and effectiveness to politics? A first-of-its-kind program from the Citizen's League is starting small and personal, with an “exchange” program for pairs of state Republican and DFL legislators. The goal is to build genuine relationships across the aisle and help legislators gain firsthand insight into a region of Minnesota different from their own. MPR News guest host Catharine Richert reported on one of the first legislator pairs to participate. On Tuesday, she sat down to talk more with them and with the program's founder about what it takes to build bipartisan trust.

The conspiracy theories about everything are no more including those of us who had doubts about the election process.Just three weeks to Election Day, and voter fraud and efforts to stop it were a big topic of discussion at the State Capitol.The House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee, asking some pointed questions about the criminal case involving Ronnie Williams and Lorraine Lee Combs.Federal prosecutors say during the 2021-22 election cycle, the Nevada couple filled out hundreds of fraudulent voter registration applications in 13 Minnesota counties.“There doesn't seem to be a check when this group submitted the fraudulent applications,” noted Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, the committee chair. “So, I don't know where that breakdown comes in.”Court documents filed in June say Williams and Combs filled out the forms with fake names, addresses, dates of birth, and social security numbers, and that an unnamed foundation paid for them.Prosecutors say the foundation paid Williams for each completed application.State lawmakers passed a law in 2023 banning that kind of pay-for-play operation, where the couple was paid based on how many applications they finished. The motive, authorities say, was money. “This is not a case about fraudulent votes,” Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon told the panel. “This is also a case of the system working to detect those applications so they could be appropriately challenged and referred to law enforcement for prosecution and conviction.”He notes local elections officials noticed irregularities in the paperwork and notified authorities.Simon says his office, the elections personnel and the FBI tracked down the bad actors.We asked Robbins if the committee had found any new evidence of fraud at this point.“You know, we have not seen it,” she says. “But we are very concerned that the foundation in question gets their entire budget from federal and state grants. I want to talk to the health department and other departments that are their grantees.”Robbins says she'd like to see a process where the Secretary of State's Office would vet registration applications before they are sent out to county elections officials. But after the meeting, DFL members say they're not sure committee hearings are the best way to investigate these kinds of irregularities. “I mean, in this committee, we've had some people the press has identified. Nothing through this committee process at all,” says Rep. Dave Pinto, DFL-St. Paul. “Of course, we want to make sure our elections are secure as possible and there is access to the ballot as well. That's the belief that got discussed quite a bit.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
