From DFL Chair Richard Carlbom: Donald Trump is spreading sickening, dangerous disinformation about Melissa Hortman’s assassination. I’m calling on the MN GOP, their elected officials, and every GOP candidate for Governor to condemn this — now.

This evening, President Trump shared a video on his Truth Social platform, which spread lies about the assassination of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy's statement:

Donald Trump. Lisa Demuth. Nick Shirley. This is the Republican Party in 2026. A collection of unserious conspiracy theorists that will do and say anything to gain influence and power. We will defeat them all on Election Day.

While the GOP focuses on [insert distraction here], Minnesotans are dealing with their increased health premiums, conspiracy theories, ICE raids… Republicans have no way to make your life more affordable. Instead they're doing everything to make your life more chaotic.

Stealing public money is horrible enough; we don’t need YouTube “influencers” - with their political allies - stirring the pot. We need solutions not political spin. share.google/BPkTgyOs0HRG...

My mother always told me that it was vulgar for men to wear ball caps in restaurants. Apparently, she was right.

TRUMP: "I'm going to run Venezuela." Oh, honey . . . you can't even run the Kennedy Center.

“Donald Trump promised peace as President. Today, he’s started another endless war to enrich oil corporations and billionaires while Minnesotans struggle to afford their lives,” said DFL Party Chair Richard Carlbom.

No tears shed for Maduro, an illegitimate authoritarian ruler. But what comes next? Trump unilaterally sent American servicemembers to remove a foreign ruler and his plan is that the U.S. will run Venezuela? There are serious concerns about the risk this poses to American lives + national security.

Dear neighbor, We’re only a few days into 2026, and this federal administration continues to tear families apart. There’s been an uptick in ICE activity and immigration enforcement today in our neighborhoods. Including the staging of ICE at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center, … 1/

Hi Everyone! Let’s support Burritos El Patron, an immigrant owned business in Minneapolis that’s been disrupted due to ICE by helping purchasing meals for our unhoused neighbors. Venmo: @christin-crabtree Meals will be purchased and given to Minneapolis Indigenous Women’s Resource Center. 🌯❤️

There is so much to be said about what Trump did in Venezuela. I only have one question; Is this an effective distraction to stop everyone from talking about the Epstein files?

New year, new term, new council! First day in the term was picture day with my council colleagues + signing our oaths of office. The big day will be Monday, when we will be sworn in officially. ✨🏙️

Insider trading on war crimes seems like peak criminality.

Basically, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States taking the 5th on national TV to avoid answering why he did one of the most disgusting things any DOJ official has ever done in US history.

Melissa Hortman’s leadership and humanity have left a lasting impact on our state. We’re deeply grateful to her family and friends for sharing her life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Not a day goes by that I don’t miss my dear friend Melissa. An incredible piece.

Preventing crime before it happens: after car companies put profits ahead of people’s safety, Attorney General Keith Ellison led a nationwide settlement requiring the companies to fix millions of vehicles lacking basic anti-theft protections.

AI is not here to cure cancer, it's here to get specific, individualized data on us to maximize the amount of money extracted from us to make billionaires into trillionaires. Period. Right now, tech companies have a social graph of us. Like, they know I'm a millennial Minnesotan suburban mom.

Somali TPS holders are our neighbors, coworkers, and small business owners. They’ve built their lives here. I led members of Congress in demanding answers on the administration’s legally dubious and dangerous threats

MPD said in a statement that they responded to an “officer needs help” call, but confirmed that no one was being assaulted & that no life-safety conditions warranted further officer involvement. Why did MPD assist in kidnapping our neighbors with controlling the space? This was just one example.

“My most predominant emotion right now is, honestly, anger."

How is this not 99%?

On Friday, I visited a mosque in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood to stand with our Somali and Muslim neighbors. When our communities are facing fear and uncertainty, we come together, we look out for one another, and we make sure people know their rights.

LEFT: Heartfelt condolences on Rob Reiner's death from a kind, stable person who should have been president. RIGHT: Obscene gloating over Rob Reiner's death from a delusional sociopath who never should have been president.

Too many Minnesotans have lost money to subscriptions they thought they canceled or didn’t realize they signed up for in the first place, and that’s unacceptable. I’m suing Uber to stop these predatory business practices and force them to do right by the people of Minnesota.

It was not necessary for NPR hosts to read Trump’s post about Rob Reiner out loud, but they did it anyway

A Few Good Men is among my most favorite films. A Rob Reiner film. Brilliant and amazing man who used his gifts for good. Someone to be emulated. Rest in Power.

This holiday season, we ask you to take action. Shop at immigrant-owned businesses in Minneapolis: buy groceries, share a meal, purchase gifts, and spend time in our vibrant commercial corridors. Your presence matters. Your support matters. 1/

"Every single act of gun violence is 100% preventable." Brown University student Mia Tretta talks about the fear and uncertainty of living through Saturday's mass shooting on campus. It was her second school shooting after she survived being shot in the stomach at age 15.

In Gaza, "surveillance is constant," says Palestinian writer Mohammed Mhawish. This omnipresent sense of being watched and tracked — through checkpoints, social media, drones, AI and more — creates an "enormous psychological burden" on the civilian population.

President Donald Trump and his MAGA enablers are on a campaign to erase history, tearing down monuments to hard-won progress and whitewashing the past to conform to their white Christian nationalist agenda.

Baristas deserve a good and fair contract! You can support striking workers by contributing to their solidarity fund here: gofund.me/2b11dbbe5 and joining the picket line again next Saturday

I had a great time joining Starbucks workers united on the picket lines! I am proud to stand in solidarity with SBWorkersUnited in their historic unfair labor practice strike.

Here is what Trump and his enablers fail to understand: Immigrants love this country deeply. We love democracy. We cherish the rule of law, the promise of due process and the idea that our diversity is a strength, not a threat. My op-ed:

“It can feel like ICE agents are everywhere. That, presumably, is how they want it to feel. At the same time, more and more people who have never engaged in anything like these actions before are purposefully running toward the trouble.” At the outset of Week 3 of the MN 🧊 invasion, CAN CONFIRM

Miami: Early voting for the mayoral runoff has started! Today and tomorrow, you can vote early for Eileen Higgins and elect a Democrat who will get things done for Miami.

Trump’s obsession with demonizing Somali Minnesotans is creepy. We are not leaving and we will not stop fighting for a country that welcomes all of us. My full interview with NPR⬇️ www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

Affordability isn’t a con job to the millions of Americans who are busting their asses just to pay the bills every month. Democrats are fighting like hell to lower your costs.

Trump’s rhetoric toward our Somali neighbors is unacceptable. My job as your Attorney General is to protect your rights and freedoms—that means no Minnesotan gets singled out or targeted for who they are.

We call on Republican legislators to publicly repudiate President Trump’s hateful, dehumanizing statements about Minnesota’s Somali community. “Dehumanization is not abstract. It is a precursor to violence.”

Affordability isn't a “con job” like President Trump claims—it's the top issue weighing on Americans.

Trump’s attacks on Somali Minnesotans are attacks on our whole state. Here's what you need to know as ICE ramps up activity.

Meet Thomas. Thomas depends on the ACA tax credits to access preventative health care services. He and millions of Americans are facing difficult economic choices as Trump and Republicans continue to refuse to extend these tax credits.

Please make sure you have your documents with you to identify yourself. Stay safe out there and stay informed.

I am horrified by the vile attacks we have been seeing from leaders in Washington DC on our Somali neighbors, and deeply concerned by the increased ICE activity we have seen throughout Minneapolis this week.
