No. I'm not willing to throw away our trans and LGBTQ brothers and sisters for expediency. If we deny other people's humanity, we've lost our own.

Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk. Watch here: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

Just a reminder that it's opening day for the Twins. So we'll be able to get a dose of joy and heartbreak in a more regular format for the next 7 months.

There is too much chaos for government workers right now. We should be providing stability, communication, and partnership. I hope we can bring workers and their unions to the table.

My statement on the arrest of Sen Eichorn: I am horrified by the allegations against Justin Eichorn. If these charges are true, this is not a person who should hold power over anyone or be allowed to interact with the young people who visit the Capitol every day. 1/

This is why science matters. It can save lives. It can cure diseases that cause immeasurable pain. It can make lives better. This might not get as much press because because it doesn't directly affect white people, but this is a really big deal.

I have no idea what he thinks they are doing now. Some of us are working our asses off trying to protect our states from the harm this administration is wrecking on our country. We need congressional partners who won't give away the keys to democracy.

To quote Majority Leader Murphy, "Trump and Musk have got to get their heads out of their asses and get to work for the people of this country." MN GOP should follow that advice instead of following Trump and Musk.

So excited to be a part of the International Women's Day event at the Capitol. I stay committed to making sure all Minnesotans stay safe, healthy, and keep access to the services we deserve. Thank you for showing up and making your voices heard!

Minnesota's budget outlook is $800 million dollars worse than it was in November among the chaos and uncertainty of the Trump administration. That doesn't even consider the cuts to Medicaid/Medicare being considered by Musk and the GOP Congress. They are taking a wrecking ball to our economy.

Today on the floor of the MN Senate, the GOP attempted to pull SF 916 out of the Education Committee and bring it to the floor. It's a bill that allows any child's gender to be questioned by anyone, and force them to have an internal and external reproductive exam in order to play sports.

If you asked a centrist to design a campaign, it would be the one Kamala Harris ran. Didn’t touch identity, excluded trans people, pro military, anti immigrant, pro business. And yet these people cannot stop writing op-eds about Democrats being too far left.

Chaos, cruelty, and corruption. Giant corporations are using the avian flu as an excuse to illegally conspire with their billionaire buddies to artificially raise the price of eggs to make a huge profit. They did it before and got caught. They know Trump won't do anything about it.

In the midst of chaos, cruelty, and corruption from the Trump/Musk administration, kindness and care shine through from my colleagues (amazing, hardworking, civil servants).

Trump and Elon's thoughtless cuts and broken promises are slowing progress in the SW metro and could cost Scott County taxpayers millions. We need leadership and instead they are taking from our community to line billionaire's pockets. minnesotareformer.com/2025/02/21/t...

This is not rocket science. It's medical research. The kind that treats cancer and finds cures for diseases we've suffered and died from for generations. Cutting NIH finding will mean more people die. Period.

Let's be clear what's happening. They're following the playbook they wrote, but that wasn't original. This is fascism. Plain and simple. And horrible. It will kill people. We do not have to quietly comply.

Fuck this. We have fought for even the barest hint of protection and justice for student sexual assault survivors. This EO undoes all of that work, done by brave survivors telling their stories.

This new absurd EO attempting to criminalize teachers who treat the kids in their care with respect, rewrite American history, and erase trans and nonbinary kids is going to get torn apart by lawyers. DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE. And also, hug your kids and tell them you love them just as they are.

Thank you, @governorwalz.mn.gov! This order would decimate Minnesota's budget and do irreparable harm to our communities, especially seniors, children, and people with disabilities.

Take note. Use the tools we have. In MN, we have an incredible AG who is working hard to defend against, slow down, and stop so much of what is coming. Don't comply in advance.

Mitch McConnell voting against Hegseth today does not IN ANY WAY absolve him of his complicity in putting this disaster of an administration in charge in the first place. What an absolute joke.

These EOs are so poorly written it would be a joke except for the fact that 2/3 of our supreme court has fallen all over themselves to overturn our laws when it suits their political ideology. Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool.

Here's the first of probably periodic warnings to remind yourself that the "firehose of falsehoods" disinformation tactic is about to go into full swing. You do not need to watch the news to bear witness. You do not need to watch hideous videos of violence. They will be circulated to keep you upset

A group of my colleagues and I have spent many hours since election day preparing to support Minnesotans over the next 4 years. Minnesota is for everyone. We will do everything in our power to keep it that way.
