iTunes updates popping up on my computer be like

When they put you on a panel with someone that you like personally and work well with, but nonetheless want to defeat next year… #mnleg

Now it’s gone too far. AI just lied to me by telling me it’s Tom Skerritt’s birthday.

Truly I did not know how much I needed @nickofferman.bsky.social in muttonchops. #DeathByLightning

THE BLUE (GREEN?) WAVE CONTINUES!

HUGE POST-ELECTION NEWS: I got today’s Wordle in two.

I will simply never get over how people think that your average Democrats are capable of massive conspiracies and coverups. Five minutes at any local party meeting would show how foolish that is.

“I’ll never bow to the radical mob…” Fucking laughable. That’s basically all she’s done since she became Minority Leader. #mnleg

The most charitable way to describe the Lisa Demuth that I’ve seen as Minority Leader/Speaker is that she’s been completely incompetent at actually leading and has been captive to the most extreme Trumpist members of her caucus from the beginning. God knows that’s how she’d be as Governor. #mnleg

Anyone who thinks you could stockpile a month of groceries on $80 a week is an idiot who hasn’t actually been grocery shopping in ages.

I commend the 86 Minnesota Legislators who are calling on President Trump to allow vital SNAP food assistance to continue for thousands of Minnesotans. Congress already provided contingency funds for this situation, but President Trump has ordered USDA not to use it.

We’ve heard the same song in MN for literal decades. “Rich people will leave the state!!!!!!!” It was crap decades ago. It’s crap now. #mnleg

But God forbid poor people get food or health care.

But did they read them?

I fucking dare this guy to say that to a soybean farmer in Sibley County, Minnesota. #mnleg

I very much doubt @nytimes.com will care that I stop following them. But if they’re curious, this idiotic, willfully ignorant bullshit (since some of us can still recognize shit when we see it) is why.

There may be no one I’d want to hear discussions about sperm count, girls starting puberty, and people having children from LESS than this man.

We don’t talk about how much of education is learning how to learn. As I’ve said before, a large part of especially higher education, is teaching people how to not be stupid. #mnleg

All right. All set to open my new business - Auntie Fa’s Bakery. Now to just take a big sip of coffee and open social media…

So I opened the bottle of rosé when it was like 90° out, and now it’s 49° and what do I do? I mean, obviously I’m going to drink the rosé but then I just feel weird about it?

More of this please.

Warm milk szn

Chuck Schumer saying “No. Fucking. Way.” is my new text tone.

I am never at my more socialist than when I’m dealing with health insurance, and shit like this is exactly why. #mnleg

Minnesotans are calling for a special session to ban assault weapons—but Republican lawmakers are refusing to let it proceed. This image perfectly encapsulates Republican’s cruel apathy toward protecting our kids from gun violence: Empty signatures, empty promises.

Came home from Trader Joe’s with only one box of cereal, one box of blueberry muffin mix, and one bottle of wine more than planned. Pretty good, right?

Well #mnleg GOP? Will you step up and do what Minnesotans are demanding?

Minnesota’s Red Flag law works. It’s saved lives right here in our city. #mnleg www.startribune.com/red-flag-gun...

I really try hard not to comment on every idiotic macho-to-those-who-don’t-know-better thing that comes from this administration, but this is particularly odious. No one who knows what actually happened - or who’d been to Wounded Knee - would think this is right.

I was glad to talk with @mprnews.org about my bipartisan work to build a child care licensing system that better supports our littles and their educators doing the most important work. We made some important progress last session, and I’m confident we can do more in 2026. #mnleg

Important thoughts from fellow Bloomington resident Thai Lloyd. Like it or not, money is power in politics. The question is who has the power - the shadowy groups and billionaires or the rest of us. #mnleg

Be it resolved that eating Totino’s pizza rolls counts as “dining local” in Minnesota.

Circus peanuts candidate. #mnleg

Tell me again how Democrats don’t talk like regular people.

CHILD CARE IS THE BIGGEST SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUE. PERIOD. #mnleg

Multiple things can be true. No one deserves to have their humanity denied - even those who denied the humanity of others. No one deserves to be the victim of violence - even those who dismissed other victims of violence.

Maybe it’s just too damn easy for people who want to hurt others to get guns? #mnleg

One thing I LOVE about being an adult is how many four- to eight-digit numbers I’m expected to have at my disposal and the dire consequences if I don’t.

@zackstephenson.bsky.social is our new @mnhousedfl.bsky.social Leader, and I'm excited to get to work with him! #mnleg

We are proud to announce Rep. Zack Stephenson as our new House DFL caucus leader!

Passion II: The Wrath of John

#mnleg House GOP: We take school safety seriously! Also GOP: We want certified quacks to be able to psychologically torture kids until they think they aren’t gay anymore.

I’m the son and husband of teachers and the grandson of a Teamster. My family is labor and labor is my family. And I’m proud as hell to live in a state where workers’ voices matter. #mnleg #BloomingtonMN #LaborDay #union

Rob Doar, blaming “accumulated grievance, crisis, and social contagion”. #mnleg

Instead of passing gun safety bills, #mnleg Rs say we need more counselors and psychologists in our schools. Our 2023 budget did exactly that, and they still hated it and all voted against it. They either don’t give a sh*t or think we’re stupid. Either way, they need to be called in their BS.

Kids and families that should be celebrating the excitement of the first week of school are scared and grieving instead. We can and should pray for comfort and help, but we cannot and should not accept that we have to live with the specter of gun violence like we do. #mnleg #Enough

Remember #mnleg primary watchers: Pushing Refresh doesn't make the results come in faster... ...unless you are pure of heart and believe in yourself.
