We launched an Olympics TV ad buy today, highlighting how Trump’s immigration operation has hurt MN families & demanding accountability from conservatives. Check it out abetterminnesota.org/christin-sto... #mnleg #mngov

Scott Jensen exited the race for MN governor and launched his campaign for state auditor yesterday. Jensen was endorsed by Donald Trump for governor in the 2022 election and supports policies that give tax breaks to billionaires at the expense of working families.

HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today. Rep. Joaquin Castro: "The Trump administration is trying to take him away again." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

No beds. No nurse. No answer on how many people in custody. U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison details what she saw at Whipple over the weekend:

Trump's ICE agents have abducting, abusing, & unjustly detaining Minnesotans, Trump's approval ratings are at their lowest, but that's not stopping Lisa Demuth from STILL seeking his endorsement #mngov

A 2-year-old’s detention is part of an accelerating trend of what an attorney describes as ICE agents sending children and adults with legal immigration status out of state to avoid dealing with accountability from the federal court system.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Conservative #mngov candidates Lisa Demuth, Mike Lindell, Kendall Qualls, and Scott Jensen have yet to denounce the attack against Rep. Ilhan Omar

Madel said he cannot support national GOP’s “stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.” How about every other #mngov candidate who has continued supporting Trump's unpopular ICE operation or remained silent? Are they doubling down?

Hard to convey how much you can tangibly feel the love and care for one another people are showing here in Minneapolis. Even in the few days we’ve been here more businesses have come on board with the strike and we've met people from every walk of like doing the work to keep each other safe.

Mike Lindell just made it official: he’s running for governor of Minnesota. Before the headlines start spinning, here’s what you need to know. 👇 (Thread)

Mike Lindell just announced he’s running for #mngov. And that’s bad news for Minnesotans. 🧵

Today, conservative Chris Madel launched his campaign for #mngov. He's the latest in a string of conservative gubernatorial candidates who would all be another rubber stamp on Trump’s harmful agenda in Minnesota 🧵

Where do the GOP #mngov candidates, who are all seeking Trump’s endorsement, stand on him calling for executing Democratic members of Congress?

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

CYMI: Conservative candidate for MN Governor, Kendall Qualls, was at the Stearns County Fair recently, saying he wants to defund Minnesota schools and give tax breaks to big corporations (which will come at our expense) 🤯

Yeah, let's just go back to when half a million Minnesotans lacked health insurance...

Conservative Minnesota governor candidate Lisa Demuth just announced Ryan Wilson as her running mate — and it says a lot about the agenda she plans to bring to our state. 👇🏽 #mngov

No one works harder than Trump & conservatives to stop kids & seniors from getting food assistance to give tax breaks to billionaires

Pres. Burnham joined people impacted by SNAP cuts. "President Trump is either refusing to release emergency funding that has already been appropriated to fund SNAP through the month of November or is so disconnected from working people that he doesn’t see this as a problem."

Today, Trump & conservatives in Congress suggested breaking their own law & not paying back federal workers who have been furloughed during Trump’s government shutdown 🧵

ICYMI: During a TV interview with Fox News, Donald Trump admitted he “couldn’t care less” about bringing the country back together. 🧵 www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Get you a governor who will sing all the lyrics of Closer to Fine at the state fair 😍 #mnstatefair

Imagine celebrating taking health care & food assistance away from children, seniors, & people with disabilities all to give tax breaks to billionaires & corporations

Every single MN conservative member of Congress just voted to take health care away from children, seniors, and people with disabilities

Medical Assistance — Minnesota’s version of Medicaid — covers about 1.2 million Minnesotans. State officials have predicted many people will lose health care coverage under the federal bill.

There is no limit to this man’s callousness

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

We're devastated at the news that Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in a politically motivated shooting. And that Senator John Hoffman and his wife were targeted. We're holding them and their loved ones in our hearts. This is a tragic day for Minnesota.

Find out what’s being cut, who it impacts, and why Minnesota conservatives are lining up to support it. #mngov You’ll want to read this: abetterminnesota.org/2025/05/what...

Kendall Qualls ran for Congress in 2020 and lost. In 2022, Qualls ran for Governor, and guess what? He lost. Instead of taking the hint from the Minnesotans who rejected him, he’s back and bringing the same extreme, anti-choice, conservative rhetoric. #mngov

Trump admitted that he's serious about seeking a third term in office. Everything you need to know is in our new blog.

During a speech to Congress, Donald Trump touted his plan to gut Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, slashing healthcare funding to finance trillions in tax breaks for big corporations and billionaires like Elon Musk. Our whole recap and what it means for Minnesota is on the blog.

Donald Trump has made it clear where his priorities lie—gutting programs Minnesotans rely on, like the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk and give massive tax breaks to big corporations. #TrumpAddress

Minnesota conservatives are more extreme than you might think. We tell you 5 things they don't want you to know in our newest blog. #mngov #mnleg

🧵THREAD: More than 85% of the Minnesota GOP support Trump’s plan to slash health care and funding for Medicaid. Minnesotans will pay the price while billionaires like Elon Musk get trillions in tax breaks. ⬇️

Conservatives know how unpopular Trump’s extreme agenda to take away health care for trillions in tax breaks to big corporations and billionaire friends like Elon Musk is. Since they won’t stop it, they’re just trying to hide to avoid accountability. It won’t work.

What do you think Trump's billionaire cabinet members are gifting him for Valentine's Day today? (Let's get creative)

It's clear that Trump's administration is more focused on catering to the interests of these billionaires than providing for working families.

Any reporters asking Pete Stauber & MN Republicans where they stand on Trump’s federal funding shutdown that threatens ~$40B in funding to MN for school meals, health care, Head Start, SNAP, WIC, cancer research funding, Meals on Wheels, public health & more? #mnleg

"while he was out golfing he threw the country into chaos" - @governorwalz.mn.gov www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/li...

POV: you're a conservative in the Minnesota House of Representatives, participating in an illegitimate power grab so you can pass a slate of extreme Trump-era policies and undermine our Democracy. #mnleg

Last week it got down to -35° in International Falls. Yet Donald Trump appears to have just halted the bipartisan program that keeps folks’ heat on through the winter. LIHEAP isn’t the *woke agenda.* It’s life or death for many Minnesotans.

Meals on Wheels is unsure if they should be delivering meals today. The biggest impact to our schools would be universal school meals
