I am mourning the death of my friend Jeff Broberg this morning. Jeff was a champion for clean drinking water, and he died for lack of it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwOr...

As many as 8 in 10 married women have changed their surname & no longer have birth certificates or passports to match their current legal name. The SAVE Act will strip these women of voting rights. In Virginia alone 1.8 million. In 50 States??? Tell your Senators. Oppose SAVE Act now: bit.ly/4hZ7BK7

THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION: an appellate court in NC appears ready to throw out legitimate ballots from a state Supreme Court election last November where the Republican lost, flipping the outcome. This is a trial balloon for what they want to do nationally, election subversion on steroids.

I'd rather keep Canada as a cherished neighbor and stop the tarrif/trade war we've started, but every time I hear this, I wonder why 10 provinces would become only one state.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million. A thread about 18F:

As Trump looks to fund tax cuts for the wealthy by gutting health care, we’re going to save Minnesotans money by making the insurance industry pay their fair share.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

I went to a Rice County MN forum on homelessness and housing last night and came home to hear 50% of HUD staff are out. Turn around USA.

Craig Strong recently installed a new, more efficient grain dryer on his farm; it was supposed to be funded, in part, by a federal program to reduce the need for fossil fuels in rural communities. Now, he and other farmers aren't sure they'll be paid back. (via @wskg.bsky.social)

I think we can all agree that computing is not a “hard to abate” sector. Could legislation be written that would require all new data center energy consumption to be 24-7 carbon-free? Basically hold the tech companies to the policies they had already established just a few years ago.

A preliminary report the plane and helicopter collision near D.C. contradicts Trump’s favorite DEI scapegoat. The understaffing issues have not been helped by Trump’s federal hiring freeze, his gutting of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, and the FAA chief’s resignation at Elon’s behest.

So deflection was the reason for the president's long rant about all manner of disabled people having no business working in FAA. Blame game.

Some things have to be done for the public good, with public dollars. We shouldn't be selling our education, health care, disability services, transportation and more to the highest bidder. We can't let Trump privatize America.

Grateful to Shakopee constituents for coming to the Capitol today!! It is horrible that House GOP members are willing to steal power from Shakopee’s voters that they didn’t earn on Election Day, during the recount, or through the court. That’s not right, and that’s what we’re standing against.

Everyone deserves access to quality health care, no matter where they live. I worked to ensure the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services quickly redesignated Ely-Bloomenson as a Critical Access Hospital, preserving essential funding for this rural healthcare provider.

"Early claims that the outbreak would simply “burn itself out” have been proven exactly wrong. From a few herds in the spring, the outbreak has spread to a whopping 880 herds in 16 states & counting."
