“The company is also facing an ongoing boycott for its public retreat from several diversity and inclusion initiatives.” This is more than a “by the way.” Target owes a lot of us a big apology.

Donald Trump and the GOP Congress are willing to see premiums skyrocket. In Minnesota, we did our part by passing funding to manage increases to keep costs down; now the federal government needs to do its part--today!

I’m appalled…yet again…at the Trump administration’s assault on important health research. The latest: Trump administration blocks NIH from awarding any research grants and contracts www.statnews.com/2025/07/29/t... via @statnews.com

“This isn’t something we will just – I believe the quote is, ‘They’ll get over it.’ You don’t get over watching your loved ones suffer and die in front of you,” said Rennicke. “That’s what will be happening to these families.”

Today we had another wonderful Eagan July 4th parade. It was much needed after the tragedies in MN and the troubling actions by our federal government. Thanks to the Eagan Fun Fest team for a safe, fun, and positive experience! It was hot but, hey, it didn’t rain this year!

Taking a pause, feeling grief for the Hortman’s, gratitude that the Hoffman’s are recovering, and admiring flowers on a beautiful summer day in Melissa’s honor.

Today is a day of grief. The manhunt is over; great gratitude to law enforcement. Now the deep reality of the atrocity and the loss is setting in. For today, remember to love your people, approach the world with kindness, and pursue the common good. I appreciate all of your thoughts and support.

This is the Speaker Hortman I know and will miss profoundly. Thank you to @ejdionne.bsky.social for this powerful and moving column. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Perverse Federal budget priorities send a strong message about this anti-science, anti-people Trump administration.

Simply chilling. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

I’m grieving over this heartless act by our purported leaders. We must all use our voices and take action, including seeing how truly monstrous the Trump administration is. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

All Minnesotans should demand that their representatives—Democratic or Republican—honor the will of the voters.

Would @petehegseth.bsky.social also establish a Division of Copy Editing if confirmed? #CantMakeItUp

Notice where the power will reside.

I’m calling on GOP Lead Lisa Demuth and the GOP caucus to accept this very fair offer.

@mnhousedfl.bsky.social Stop validating the GOP's unlawful House events. Sec. of State Simon adjourned session on Jan 14 after finding there was not a 68-member quorum needed to conduct House business. Their sham sessions have no legal authority and their actions have no legal effect.

What Republicans are doing is an unlawful sham with no legal authority. Sec. of State Simon adjourned session after finding there was not a 68-member quorum needed to conduct House business. All that has happened after his adjournment is fraudulent; don't validate by attending these sham hearings.

Democrats have filed a lawsuit with the Minnesota Supreme Court to invalidate Republicans’ unlawful, unconstitutional actions. Their sham sessions have no legal authority, and the actions they are taking have no legal effect. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Video from today's press conference. Minnesotans voted for a tied House, but Republicans are preparing to seize control through an illegitimate power grab. We need a power-sharing agreement that honors the will of the voters. #mnleg www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV_G...

That Republicans would publicly flout our state Constitution and laws on the anniversary of the January 6th attacks is particularly galling. DFLers have worked in good faith and we expect Republicans to do likewise. If they don’t, we stand ready to use every tool at our disposal. #mnleg (3/)

Minnesotans did not elect a Republican majority to the MN House of Representatives. Minnesotans did not elect a DFL majority either. Today, Republicans made it clear that they intend to insult Minnesota voters and seize power by taking advantage of an extraordinary and unfortunate… (1/) #mnleg

As a former trustee of Social Security, I'm worried the program is in danger of running dry. Why? As the rich have gotten richer, more of their income has escaped the cap on the SS payroll tax. We can fix this by scrapping the cap. Watch.

Release the Gaetz report. Pass it on.
