On top of the terrorizing of our Somali and immigrant communities in MN, I am devastated to hear about the shooting at Brown, and the anti-semitic mass shooting in Australia on the first day of Hanukkah.

Many of my @mnhousedfl.bsky.social colleagues and I participated in this video.

The median income in MN can’t afford a median home. We need make it easier to build homes close to where people work and want to live. And prevent out of state speculators from driving up prices. btw - how about fixing healthcare - a huge drag on income! www.startribune.com/most-minneso...

I'm one of the 86. Cutting off SNAP when it is completely unnecessary is cruel. The contingency funds should be used.

It is cruel and unnecessary for #SNAP benefits to stop, even with a shutdown. Why is Trump in Asia now? Why does Speaker Johnson NOT have the House in session to negotiate an end to the shutdown? dcyf.mn.gov/federal-shut...

The U.S. was primed to develop “clean energy economies of scale more than three decades ago,” writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. Instead, it “doubled down as a petrostate after its fossil fuel industry fraudulently polarized a substantial portion of its population against climate action.”

Fantastic Energy Innovation Summit yesterday! The amount of job-generating #CleanEnergy innovation happening in MN is so exciting. Great job Grid Catalyst!

Big oil should pay for making life more expensive in Minnesota. My op-ed in @minnpost.bsky.social today. www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

“It is time to be bold and brave…” on climate change and clean energy. @freshenergy.bsky.social CEO Margaret Cherne-Hendrick. Couldn’t agree more!

Thrilled to be recognized my MN Housing Partnership for housing policy leadership. There is so much more work to do so that all Minnesotans can have a home they can afford in a place where they want to live.

Just tagged along for an hour with @metrotransitmn.bsky.social TRIP agents, who are doing fantastic work improving safety and the overall experience for transit customers. They check fares, answer questions, check stations, and help people get where they want to go.

I signed onto this statement in solidarity with Teamsters Local 320 and Farm Aid because the farm and labor movements are inseparable. We’re calling on the Univ of MN to return to the bargaining table in good faith. Let’s come together and reach a result that respects our workers and our farmers.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Such a hard thing to do, but we have to move forward and I’m so excited to be doing it with Zack’s leadership.

On Labor Day, I’m proud to stand with working families, not the ultrawealthy. The richest 1% of Minnesotans own nearly a THIRD of the state’s wealth. And they just got a massive tax cut from Trump and the GOP. We need an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthiest few.

I am so deeply saddened by the horrific act of violence today in Minneapolis. My heart goes out to all those impacted. I am posting the statement from the Minneapolis delegation - we stand with you.

I'm attending Peggy Flanagan for Minnesota's event, “Rally in Minneapolis with Elizabeth Warren & Peggy Flanagan” - sign up now to join www.mobilize.us/peggyflanaga...

Gerrymandering mid-decade as is being tried in TX to bias an election is blatantly wrong. Rs would hate it if Ds were doing it. Can't we all agree that this kind of thing should be stopped? TX should stop & Congress should ban partisan #gerrymandering.

Powerful piece. It’s beyond time for Republicans to “choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.” #ReinstateErika McEntarfer The America We Knew Is Rapidly Slipping Away www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/o...

Health care is a human right. Today, on the 60th anniv of the creation of #Medicaid & #Medicare, Trump & Republicans are taking us in the wrong direction. We should be expanding access, not kicking people off healthcare. Everyone should have access to the care & coverage they deserve.

Making a decision to drive after drinking is incredibly dangerous and can lead to so much heartbreak. My heart goes out to the victims and their families & friends. Please don't ever drive after drinking. Even a short distance. www.startribune.com/park-tavern-...

This would be like the FDA stopping the inspection of eggs right after a nationwide outbreak of salmonella from eggs. US EPA to withdraw foundation of greenhouse gas rules, sources say www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Fantastic, inspiring #GoodTrouble protest today organized by the seniors at Parkshore in St. Louis Park and @indivistwincities.bsky.social. Must have been close to 200 folks! Favorite words overheard: "Never too old to organize"

Trump Is Gutting Weather Science and Reducing Disaster Response “The Trump administration is leaving communities naked, without the necessary tools that could help them assess risks or reduce those risks,” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/13/c...

Trump’s playbook: - Overpromise - Underdeliver - Change the subject The Pointless Triumph of a Hapless President www.nytimes.com/2025/07/04/o...

The Trump Reconciliation Bill is HORRIFIC. Should be called the EXPLODING DEBT for our kids bill. ☑️ National debt up by $3.5 Trillion ☑️ Climate debt up by 1B metric tons of greenhouse gases per year by 2035 All for our kids and grandkids to pay back #unforgivable

Melissa, Mark, and their Golden Retriever Gilbert will lie in state on Friday, June 27 from 12-5pm. The Capitol will be open for members of the public to pay their respects. A private funeral for Melissa and Mark will be held on Saturday, June 28 at 10:30am.

We need 1,000 Melissa Hortmans now minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/20/w...

“Every heatwave that is occurring today is hotter than it would have been without human-induced climate change,” www.cnn.com/2025/06/23/c...

Please tell me this is an AI fake.

What a relief that the killer has been caught. I'm enormously thankful for all the law enforcement personnel that came together to make it happen as quickly as it did.

This morning our DFL leader in the MN House of Representatives & my friend, Speaker Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark were assassinated. I am absolutely devastated and am having trouble believing this is real, but it is. I'm so sorry for their kids and family.

Yes - the (ice) cream rose to the top for the event for sure!

Bad MN air quality today from #wildfires. Welcome (again) to #climatechange which makes hot & dry conditions worse - which makes wildfires worse. Forest fires are burning more than 2X the tree cover today as 2 decades ago (@worldresources.bsky.social) Photo: Kari Greer, US Forest Service

Team House DFL Energy at the Heliene ribbon cutting for their new solar module manufacturing line in Rogers MN. 220 jobs, over 500MW per year. I loved Senator @amyklobuchar.com’s comment that she “loved the sound of MN jobs” @pattyacomb.bsky.social @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social

Many emotions today. With this situation, my thoughts are always with the families, partners, and friends that have been impacted. It is good to see him taking responsibility for the terrible decision he made.

We need this loud, clear, voice to be our next Senator for MN. I couldn't be more excited to support @peggyflanagan.bsky.social.

Excellent story by @wcconews.bsky.social on new charges in the Park Tavern tragedy and my #DWI bill that just passed the #MNHouse. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Simple question - what would Republicans have said if President Obama or President Biden had done this? @barackobama.bsky.social

I started working on this bill shortly after the tragedy at Park Tavern last summer. Very happy to have it pass today. www.house.mn.gov/SessionDaily...

We're standing up for workers. We can do it and pass a budget.

Perhaps ironic that we adopted a bipartisan resolution on National #Autism Acceptance month. I hope my MN Republican colleagues send this to @rfk-junior.bsky.social. #mnleg

ICYMI - on Monday all 67 MN House Republicans voted (successfully) against my amendment to change an absurd proposal in the House Transpo bill to increase annual reg tax on EVs by 167% to $200. This is double what reasonably fuel efficient gas vehicles pay in gas tax. #EVs #gastax

The awful House Transportation Bill passed today including unnecessary climate rollbacks. But thankfully a strong majority of Democrats (49 out of 67) voted no. That sends a strong message to the conference committee. We are determined. We won't delay climate action. #mnleg 1/2

Thank you to @larrykraft.bsky.social, the office of @keithellison.bsky.social, and everyone who came to Saint Louis Park for townhall on trans rights. It was a great turnout for an important conversation. We will never stop fighting for our communities.

Just a great town hall today in St. Louis Park on trans rights. Thank you @leighfinke.bsky.social, the office of @ag.state.mn.us and all the folks that came out for the important and timely discussion.

On Earth Day, we need to remember that climate change and physics doesn't care at all about our politics. We must do all we can to keep focus on this issue, wherever we can. Trump's disregard for climate change is an attack on our kids and grandkids. www.msn.com/en-ca/weathe...

Republicans - is there something Trump could do that would be worth standing against him and risking your political career? #mnleg #supremecourt #constitutionalcrisis #executiveorders

"The state that is leading the nation in innovative transportation policy... is Minnesota" - said Heatmap last year in talking about the policy the GOP is trying to roll back. We will continue to fight this. More info at link in bio. #mnleg #VMT #climate
