The 2025 session may be over, but Pride is very much still going. 🏳️‍🌈

Next Monday, we will finish the work of the 2025 legislative session. In addition to balancing the budget, DFLers successfully protected nearly all of our 2023 accomplishments, and we will continue to fight for a future where everyone can get ahead – not just billionaires and big corporations.

Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating the holy time of Eid al-Adha!

DFL leaders are fighting for you — not for billionaires.

Happy #Pride Month, Minnesota! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ While Trump and extremists try to roll back rights and vilify LGBTQ+ kids and communities, we will continue doing the work to make Minnesota a safe, affirming place for everyone to live and love as their authentic selves.

Today we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. May we work each day to build a nation worthy of their courage and sacrifice.

George Floyd's life mattered & he should still be alive today. After George Floyd was brutally murdered, the House DFL, led by members of the People of Color & Indigenous Caucus, took action to reform policing, protect civil rights & fight for racial justice.

The plan in motion from Donald Trump & his GOP allies in Congress to slash Medicaid & SNAP would be devastating for Minnesotans. We are going to keep standing up to fight cuts that will lead to fewer people getting the care they need & more people going hungry.

Today the Minnesota House of Representatives adjourned the regular session and will return to the state Capitol for a special session soon to finalize work on a new state budget. Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman issued the following statement.

The House DFL is deeply saddened by the news of President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. We’re all keeping the Biden family in our thoughts, and we’re wishing Joe a safe and swift recovery.

NEW: All session long, Republicans and their corporate backers fought tooth and nail to roll back the popular Paid Leave Law we passed in 2023. We did not allow that to happen. Democrats defeated *every single* GOP attempt to weaken, delay, or repeal Paid Family & Medical Leave.

"This budget is a reminder that even in times of deep division, it’s still possible to come together and do the work." -Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman on today's bipartisan budget deal announcement

Thank you, @thedlcc.bsky.social! Proud to share this announcement. Looking forward to working closely with legislative leaders across the country and the rest of the Board of Directors to grow Democratic power in states across the country.

Could not agree more.

Fitting that during Teacher Appreciation Week, we learn that Minnesota’s graduation rates are at their highest level ever. There’s more work to do, but this is evidence that investing in our students, educators, and schools is working. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Thank you to Minnesota's hard-working educators!

It was great to meet Vikings Head Coach — and 2024 Coach of the Year — Kevin O'Connell this week!

Unbelievable. Now Republicans are trying to take away unemployment benefits from hardworking hourly school workers and education support professionals who help our kids learn, grow, and thrive. We're fighting back because we'll never stop fighting for workers.

BILL PASSED✅: 2025 Legacy Budget While the Trump administration pulls back funding on the things we treasure, Minnesota is making generational investments in our outdoors, our people, and our future. Our Legacy Budget Bill protects clean water, preserves natural spaces, and funds arts and culture.

BILL PASSED ✅: We just passed the 2025 Public Safety & Judiciary Budget! DFLers worked to ensure this bill will make Minnesota safer, invest in victim services and police de-escalation training, and REJECT harmful GOP proposals targeting immigrants, protesters, and violence prevention resources.

BILL PASSED ✅: The House just passed the 2025-26 Agriculture Budget Bill. We fought hard for a people-focused Ag Budget that feeds Minnesotans, safeguards workers and consumers, and supports small, emerging farmers in an economy tilted towards large corporations.

Thank you to @mccollum.house.gov, State Rep. Josiah Hill & everyone who participated in last night's town hall in Stillwater! We're bringing people together to stand up for our shared values & sound the alarm on how GOP policies at the federal level are hurting people across our state.

Tonight, I'll join Minnesota House Speaker Emirita @melissahortman.bsky.social and State Representative @josiahhill.bsky.social for a town hall in Stillwater. Tune in on YouTube at 6:30pm to watch live: www.youtube.com/live/cZEARh5...

This is the one planet we've got — House DFLers are working to protect it for future generations.

Yesterday was Mary Murphy Day in the Minnesota House of Representatives, and we took some time to honor and remember our friend and former colleague. Mary was a wonderful state representative and human being, and we miss her dearly.

Happy Easter from the House DFL!

Grateful for the ACLU’s legal work at this critical moment. We are a nation where the rule of law matters. Everyone is entitled to due process. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Gutting Medicaid would be devastating for MN seniors, children, families & people with disabilities & would create a massive hole in our state budget. Instead of GOP plans to cut Medicaid & give tax cuts to the wealthy, DFLers want to build a future where everyone has the chance to succeed.

Agree with Friedman’s analysis. Trump is damaging our country at breakneck speed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/o...

Grateful to former Rep. Ruth Richardson and all of the members who led the efforts to establish this first-in-the-nation office.

We're proud to stand alongside the thousands of Minnesotans standing up and pushing back against the Trump administration. We will continue to fight FOR Minnesotans, not for billionaires and massive corporations.

We're standing up for federal workers fired by Donald Trump with no warning. "Things are a real mess in our federal government...and these federal workers have been treated horribly...we want to make sure they can land on their feet."

Republicans are trying to roll back the progress Minnesota has made in the last few years — including dismantling universal school meals for kids. We won't let them take our state backwards.

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

Marine Le Pen has learned her lesson. by Susan Collins

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! In 2023, we passed a bill establishing Minnesota as a trans refuge state. We proudly stand alongside our trans community, and we will continue to protect their right to exist and thrive — today, tomorrow, and always. 🏳️‍⚧️

My heart goes out to those impacted by the plane crash in Brooklyn Park on Saturday. I’m so grateful to the first responders who acted so quickly.

I want to extend my warm wishes to all those marking the end of Ramadan and celebrating Eid-al-Fitr. I hope this holy time has brought comfort and joy, and I wish you peace, health, and happiness. Eid Mubarak!

Taking care of our families or ourselves should not come second to our jobs. Democrats will continue to stand against any attempts to delay or repeal paid family and medical leave.

We just got new data: Our trade partners bought nearly $27 billion in food and other products last year. That’s a massive contribution to Minnesotans who work in our agriculture, mining, and manufacturing industries, and it’s why we can’t risk trade wars with our closest allies.

Donald Trump just keeps making our economy worse. His reckless trade wars will make life more expensive for all of us, and devastate the economic well-being of people who voted for him, including retirees and farmers. www.nytimes.com/article/stoc...

1. Announce tariffs 2. Stock market plummets 3. Purchase deflated stocks 4. Announce delay in tariffs 5. Stock market rebounds 6. Profit off the chaos Repeat. This is by design.

GDP projections down, inflation up, mortgage rates rising. All directly attributable to Trump’s reckless economic actions.

As Democrats in MN pointed out yesterday, Trump’s feckless bumbling in DC is wrecking MN’s economic outlook.

President Trump said in his address to Congress that he inherited an “economic catastrophe” from Joe Biden. The U.S. had the strongest economy in the world when Trump took over, but it's shown signs of strain from Trump's federal funding cuts and tariffs. Follow live.

Did you know Medicaid covers 63% of the 1.2 million nursing home residents in the country? That and other factoids from @jennifershutt.bsky.social GOP tax cut plans may depend on savings from Medicaid. What is it and who relies on it? minnesotareformer.com/2025/03/04/r...

"The GOP sought to score political points on the backs of children already at risk of being excluded and demonized for not fitting into someone’s inflexible notion of gender and femininity," writes columnist Rochelle Olson.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

A quorum is present.
