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.

Trump and Vance showed a level of crassness and vulgarity never seen before in the White House with a foreign leader and guest. They were the worst kind of ignorant disgusting bully. They’ve turned our nation into a global embarrassment. And a global threat.

the way that old hot dog skin of horribleness treated a genuine war hero makes me want to sign up for a modern day Abraham Lincoln Brigade and go fight in Ukraine

Trump yesterday, repeating something he’s been saying for years (re: tariffs, which he said would make the US “rich’): “it’s going to stop us from being a laughingstock all over the world because we have been taken advantage of like no country has been taken advantage of.” Let’s unpack this a bit./1

Elon Musk & other Big Tech bullies want to have their way with the Federal Govt. They also want our money through state governments. Fortunately, this is a fight we can win! Minnesota is ready to push back. #mnleg #no$4TechBros

Hats? ✅ Hand warmers? ✅ ISAIAH leaders standing up for Minnesotans’ Medicaid in -15 degree weather? ✅ Over 50 Southern Minnesotans rallied outside Congressman Brad Finstad's Rochester office this morning, meeting with his staff and calling on him to protect Medicaid! 📣

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

After over a decade of organizing, Minnesotans finally won a statewide Paid Leave program in 2023. This will ensure that no matter where we work or how much money we've got, we all can take the time we deserve to care for ourselves, our loved ones, or our newborns. 🧵

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

This is indeed the great irony of the situation. What creates the most frustration with government is actually all the extremely risk averse rules in place to defend against the waste/fraud/abuse reformer waves of the last 30yrs.

Here's what's going on. GOPers want to dig a $5 trillion hole on tax cuts that mainly benefit the rich. Some want to partially fill the hole by cutting health care, education and more. Others worry (rightly) that literally giving $$ to the top by taking from everyone else is politically toxic.
