Late last night, the 2025 legislative session adjourned. The end of the session was basically the same as the rest of it: Republicans relying on bad faith, Trump-style political games so they can try and seize power for themselves and big corporations at our expense. #mnleg (1/)

If you’re looking for high close of session #mnleg drama, this discussion of process, separation of powers, and government bureaucracy is……….not that.

Rep Rarick said she wanted to exchange offers publicly, so here it is. Republicans are holding our Higher Ed budget - and the 226K students who depend on it - hostage over a process issue. We have a bipartisan agreement that we could pass right now if Republicans give up on this bullshit. #mnleg

Pedantic reminder: #mnleg will not adjourn sine die today. That’s only at the end of the biennium. So all you fans of hearing Latin in House floor debate will just have to wait a year.

I would like to stake the claim now that the official #mnleg special session hashtag is #SpeshSesh2025. Thank you.

Searching for the provision in the MN Constitution, House Rules, or Mason’s where it says that one of the duties of the House of Representatives is to engage in a dick measuring contest on the House floor. #mnleg

As we enter the penultimate day of the #mnleg regular session, please remember that CCR means Conference Committee Report and not, as some might assume, Creedence Clearwater Revival.

To be clear, #mnleg recess is not the fund kind of recess.

Great to see my constituent Maria yesterday and stand with her and so many other Minnesotans in support of *everyone* getting the care they need. #mnleg

I have a lot of thoughts about things currently happening in #mnleg. But as long as I live I will remember one thing from today: cheering. We could hear House Republicans cheering kicking people off health care. Cheering the idea that people will die for lack of it.

Got done with floor session in time to make it to the Bloomington Early Learning Services end-of-the-year picnic and be reminded why we do the work we do. Plus I got this sweet tat. #mnleg #BloomingtonMN

Backs up what I’ve been seeing and hearing. It’s not that folks *don’t* care where you are on the issues. They just care more about what you’re actually doing about them. They want to know that their leaders are working hard and fighting back. #mnleg

"Child care workers want to make money." says one of these exact members. #mnleg

Child care providers do the Lord's work. Especially when they're serving our most in-need, vulnerable families. Republicans in the MN House just voted to cut bonuses for exactly those providers. #mnleg

I’m grateful to live north of the River, but I’d vote for Paul for just about anything. #mnleg

Maybe the real pope is the friends we made along the way.

Having elected a pope, the cardinals are not concluding the conclave by exchanging friendship bracelets and signing each others’ yearbooks.

Has anyone done “Sweet Pope Chicago” yet?

OK, 14 Leos, but how many Dons, Raphs, or Mikes?

Under the budget we enacted in 2023, graduation rates are up and opportunity gaps are down. Investing in education works.

Glad to join @governorwalz.mn.gov, DCYF Comm Brown, and Tamara (a SNAP recipient) at VEAP to share the importance of SNAP. Federal cuts could threaten over 400k MNans - mostly children/seniors. When hunger is already too high, these cuts are bad policy AND bad morals. #mnleg #BloomingtonMN #SNAP

Just deeply incredibly disappointed that six DFLers in the Senate (including some that I like and have worked with) voted to weaken Earned Sick/Safe Time. Ability to care for yourself and your family shouldn’t depend on how many coworkers you have or where you work. #mnleg

BREAKING NEWS: In an effort to appeal to a younger audience, the papal conclave has announced that instead of using the traditional phrase “Habemus Papam!” to announce the newly elected pope, they will instead use “Yeah Pope!”

Simply a shared pool of money so we can work together, for the benefit of us all. Don’t talk about taxes in a vacuum.
