I assure you had we elected Kamala Harris we would not be sitting here witnessing the president of the United States fighting with one of the most well-known CEOs of the world, as healthcare for millions is on the line.

Last year, we became the first state to build and open three veterans homes simultaneously. I just signed a bill that fully funds the staffing and operations of these homes well into the future. I’m proud of Minnesota’s enduring commitment to better serve those who served us.

Take ten seconds this morning & look up the name NATHAN SAGE. He's running for Joni's seat in Iowa. I've met him. Will be working with him. He is very much the real deal. Will oust her next November. Yes, Joni, we're all going to die. But our Senators shouldn't be the ones KILLING US. Awful.

This is corruption we need to talk more about. Brad Smith is a billionaire, runs healthcare for DOGE, & has a side business that sells services to Medicare & Medicaid. That means he decides who gets Medicaid & Medicare AND gets a tax cut. Watch Rep. Jake Auchincloss explain:

Remember the name Rob Sand. He beat a Republican incumbent in 2018 for State Auditor & is the only Democrat serving statewide elected office in Iowa right now. He just launched his bid for governor of Iowa. He is a rising star & worth paying attention to.

A Republican tried to make a hearing that would cut Medicare about Joe Biden, and Rep. Jake Auchincloss wasn't having any of it — saying that Republicans' whataboutisms are going to get stale very fast and eventually, they will have to do town halls. More of this energy, please!

This is huge: In Omaha, Nebraska, a Democrat just beat the longest-serving incumbent Republcian mayor in the country. The largest city in Nebraska just flipped parties with a 36% swing toward our side since the last election. Can’t underscore how big a deal this is. Good, hopeful news.

JB Pritzker today: "Democrats – we may have to fix our messaging and our strategy, but our values are exactly where they ought to be. And we will never join so many Republicans in the special place in hell reserved for quislings and cowards." More of this please.

All the warnings from authoritarian and fascism experts are now fully reality today. If there was any grey line or ambiguity before about whether we're in a fascist state, it is now completely clear we are. There's not sitting back or staying silent anymore.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

I don't know a single person my age who isn't talking about massive investment losses. They are mad. They are frustrated. They are annoyed. And they are blaming Trump for this. The negative consequences of Trump's tariffs are real and young people are noticing and livid.

By the way, both women who ran for president were right. They predicted this moment would happen. Says something very disturbing about our country that many still think they’re unrealistic or dramatic, when they were and are, in fact, correct.

Reminder: it’s not normal for the stock market to free-fall thousands of points. It’s not normal for 401ks to turn into 201ks. It’s not normal to see the cost of literally everything skyrocket. None of this is normal.

Heard Rep. Jake Auchincloss say something chilling: Trump & the Trump family issued meme coins, which allow every business & country to purchase shares in Trump’s net worth. That means, with these tariffs, there will be a huge market in buying influence with Trump. Let that sink in.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

Wisconsin just elected Susan Crawford to the state Supreme Court. They want us to feel powerless and hopeless. They want us to feel defeated. But we are not. Hard to read this as anything but a massive blowback to Trump and Elon.

It shouldn’t be lost on anyone that Sen. Booker not only broke a record for the longest speech given in the Senate, but also knocked out the previous record-holder, a segregationist who opposed someone like Senator Booker from having civil rights. Huge. Thank you, Sen. Booker.
