Trump has cost our state $160 million in his first 50 days in office. The DFL invested in schools, roads, public safety, cities, counties, and tax cuts for working families. The real threat to Minnesota’s budget is Trump’s reckless policies. #MNleg #TrumpChaos

Trump/Musk putting people in real danger: MN receives federal $ to fund everything from domestic violence shelters, sexual assault advocates, child abuse centers & connections to housing. Groups help victims w/ legal services, including orders of protection against their abusers.

"The impact is not abstract of what was canceled. It has real life impacts today in the classroom, for students right now and for teachers. This wasn’t waste — this was really important work to help American students and families,” WKRG.com search.app/BTHT5dghwv6F...

Really curious if all the conservatives with American flags in their bios are cool with having a king.

Today, Republicans defended a president who is threatening to eliminate 10% of MN education funding—including critical support for special ed, students with disabilities, and school meal programs. We're asking them to stand with us and fight for every dollar our kids deserve youtu.be/VvLxSjLafaw?...

Donald Trump promised your family lower prices on groceries, gas, housing, and more. These tariffs will likely make inflation worse, not better. He never has, and never will, care about anything but his own power. www.startribune.com/trumps-tarif...

If you are in line to sack Sam Darnold, stay in line. If you are in line before the end of the game, they have to let you sack him.

Sam Darnold I will always appreciate the regular season that you gave us. And I will consider the wins against the Packers to be our super bowl. #skol

First of all, as a member of the Senate, I have no involvement in the negotiations or procedures of the House, a completely separate chamber of the legislative branch. I've been working on several bipartisan bills and I look forward to continuing that work in session January 14th. #mnleg

Thanks to Blois Olson for inviting me to Sunday Take to talk more about our plan to move forward with an independent Office of Inspector General. You can listen to the episode here: #mnleg www.audacy.com/podcast/the-...

We have to do more to stop this. With two sessions under my belt, I've been able to bring fresh eyes on the ways we can protect taxpayer dollars and faith in our government. An Office of Inspector General is a practical and needed solution. #mnleg minnesotareformer.com/2024/12/13/m...

An Office of Inspector General is more than catching fraud after it happens; it’s about building on a culture of accountability & proactive oversight. We expect govt to prioritize efficient & ethical use of our tax dollars, which my proposal delivers. #mnleg kstp.com/kstp-news/lo...

62% of U.S. adults (the highest % in more than a decade) say it is the federal government’s responsibility to ensure all Americans have healthcare coverage. Public or private funded debates aside, we should all agree the current system isn't working. news.gallup.com/poll/654101/...
