One of my strongest memories from a family trip to DC was my Dad being absolutely *furious* that there were statues of Confederates in the Capitol. They were traitors who should've been shamed instead of being given one of the greatest honors our country can bestow.

Today our #mnleg House Higher Ed Committee is hearing about the impacts ICE has had on campuses and in two weeks, we'll be hearing my bill to rein them in. State leaders have an obligation to protect students/staff/faculty/admins on our college campuses if the feds won't do it.

Time for him to focus on his map- and globe-making business.

Maybe you've visited the Mall of America, but Bloomington #Minnesota is a diverse community besieged by 🧊 where neighbors need to raise another $250,000 to keep 135 families housed & over 300 fed. Give today to help unlock the match and keep our neighbors housed: www.givebutter.com/bloomingtonma

Desperately thinking of how I can use that response in committee, too.

Don’t threaten me with a good time, Mike.

Many Minnesotans — too many — are going hungry. I authored two bills to do something about it.

Too many of our communities have experienced too much heartbreak. We can do something. We owe it to our kids.

Republicans are objectively pro-grown-ass men spying on children.

Aisha Gomez had a dozen wonderful moments in her floor speech last night. You should really watch the whole thing, but here are some of my favs. 1. Good riddance Bovino

In case anybody's wondering just exactly how full of shit #mnleg Republicans are about fraud. Matt's amendment would've added even more anti-fraud protections and made their top priority idea even better.

This included, until recently, my 7YO's kindergarten classmate.

We won’t ever forget Melissa, Mark, and Gilbert Hortman. Now, we honor Melissa’s legacy by building the Minnesota she believed in and fought so hard for.

This dude's first campaign had to have a do-over because one of his employees committed literal voter fraud. No one should give a single shit what this guy has to say.

Lakeville business owner: “This is not politics as usual; this is an affront to humanity. I both live and own a restaurant in a GOP district. If my Representative cares about me, my local business, my rights... he'd support these proposals [to hold ICE accountable]” @senatedfl.bsky.social

Let’s do this. #mnleg

128 years ago today, everybody be like

Please do not take your shoes off at the Capitol.

Readying my Harold Hill-esque number decrying the dangers of pickleball. Wellll, you got trouble, my friends…

Today in Symbolism: a “Sending Positive Vibes” balloon in the “Returns” cart at Cub.

Also me in the last two weeks of session. #mnleg

Been thinking a lot about this as we head back into session next week. In a lot of ways, recovering from this will be harder than the pandemic. We simply do not have the luxury of suffering fools - I know I will not. We need to name the blame and force accountability at every step. #mnleg

🗳️ DFLers on the House and Senate Elections committee called on MN's congressional delegation to vote NO on the Republican bill that would suppress the vote and voices of millions of Minnesotans. Read the letter here: senatedfl.mn/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/SAVE-Act-Senate-House-Joint-Letter.pdf

I hope to God I am never able to lie this shamelessly to literally everyone.

WINE MOMS ASSEMBLE!

Today in Everything Makes Me Cry: Watching The Little Mermaid with my headstrong daughter who occasionally makes me lose my temper, but I would give anything for without having to think about it.

4YO: OK, Mr Green Crayon, let’s do this. I don’t know what’s about to go down, but I know it’s going to be INTENSE.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Stephen Miller: Hey, great work today, everyone. But let’s see if we can outdo ourselves in being the absolutely fucking worst human beings tomorrow. Really, nothing is too ghoulish.

Men will literally join an insurrection, get pardoned, commit felony destruction, and get trespassed from a State Capitol instead of going to therapy.

But…but…they changed their TONE. ICE Out. Period.

This is the guy #mnleg Republicans are deputizing. The guy who counts footprints outside of child care centers.

WOW! #dfl #mnleg #BloomingtonMN

Two of our neighbors are dead. Thousands more have been terrorized every single day. But they call it “effective” and “great”. Get the fuck out of my state.

Absolutely THRILLED at the turnout and the energy at precinct caucuses tonight! DFLers are ready to work hard and fight back!

Tina Smith endorses Peggy Flanagan over Angie Craig in Minnesota Senate race

I was about to ask sarcastically “This is the best MN Republicans can do?!” But, like, yeah, I think it is…

Minnesota’s hospitality union, @uniteherelocal17.bsky.social, is actively supporting working people navigating untenable workplace conditions. 🖤 Please consider supporting/sharing: workingpartnerships.betterworld.org/campaigns/un...

That he clearly sees the literal American dream is a bad thing tells you everything you need to know about the moral rot at the heart of Trumpism.

I’ll see you at @dfl.org Precinct Caucuses! Tuesday February 3rd, 7pm, Kennedy High School! #mnleg #BloomingtonMN

A reader (who wished to remain anonymous for reasons of naturalization status) passed along to me their version of a Battle Hymn of Minneapolis, which I now share with you. 'Tis, as they say, a banger. justpaste.it/battle-hymn-...

Are you going to caucus? Repost if you are, let’s see some numbers.

Want to be careful about drawing lessons from just two districts, BUT... A 20-point underperformance in an already deeply blue seat, and failing to even land a candidate in the suburbs certainly makes one wonder how Republicans can even half-heartedly fight for a majority in the MN House... #mnleg

I wish I could make a video my ringtone.

I’m glad the President spoke with Governor Walz and Mayor Frey. I’m glad that more members of Congress are seeing what Minnesotans have seen every day. I’m especially glad Greg Bovino is getting the hell out of our state.

He doesn’t want to *see* it happen or he doesn’t want it to happen?

Gathered with some neighbors tonight to be the light that shines in the darkness.

🕯️ SHINE A LIGHT FOR MINNESOTA Tonight • 7:00 PM CT Step outside and light a candle — on our street corners, with our neighbors, for our communities & Alex. Together we call for #ICEOutNow. 🔁 SHARE WIDELY!

When will it be enough? How much damage? How much cruelty? How much chaos? How much death? The best thing for the safety of our communities and all of our neighbors is for ICE to get out of Minnesota. Right. Damn. Now.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
