Families are paying too much. Early educators are being paid too little. Minnesota deserves a childcare system that works for everyone. It's time for #ChildcareForAllMN. 💛 www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The President’s cabinet member oversees a federal law enforcement agency. He threatens literal bloodshed if the opposition party refuses to suspend using their first amendment speech rights. He’s threatening state violence in response to opposition free speech.

Everyone in the legacy media knows Trump's history and knows that he will spread dangerous lies on Thursday night. They know that they have a choice about whether to cover the speech. Most importantly, they know the danger and the stakes. newsletters.democracydocket.com/-the-media-h...

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

The right to repair is about more than fixing a tractor. It’s about giving power back to farmers, not giant corporations. I'm proud to be the only candidate in this race fighting for the right to repair.

Yet another heartbreaking and unfortunately foreseeable tragedy. This doesn't need to happen. How many more lives will be destroyed before Congress takes action to address the problem they've abundantly funded? The evidence is clear: ICE's continued presence is a threat to all of our safety.

Bob Fletcher has done nothing to earn your vote, so don’t vote for him. I’m Charlie “Chuck” St. Dennis, and I am an 18 year old organizer from St. Paul who stood up for my neighbors while Bob Fletcher sat down. I ask that you write my name in this November. Let’s send a message.

“If America is to celebrate its 250th anniversary, let it be by reinterpreting our founding documents in light of Reconstruction’s unfinished mission. Let it be by expanding our understanding of who is among “the people” and what “we the people” are due.”

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

Peggy is the real deal who will fight for us against Trump and for a better future for all of us. Vote early for her in the August Primary.

I am totally biased to be sure but this is gold medaling in Race Class Narrative: Speak to our shared values across division, narrate the dog whistle - how right divides to conquer - w/o repeating their lies, present a desirable vision that recasts "Americanness" in progressive terms.

They are arresting U.S. Air Force Officers for free speech and U.S. Olympians for curiosity—but not rich men for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.

Want to feel a little bit of the same joy our friends in NYC have right now? Vote for Peggy Flanagan in the Senate primary on August 11th.

Hell yes, Ohio! Governor DeWine just vetoed HB 472, the voter suppression bill rammed through by corrupt Republicans This is a huge victory for voting rights! Thanks to everybody who wrote, called and spoke out against this bill 🤩 Suck on that MAGA!

This👇🏻👇🏻💯

www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/... The feds knew the database they’ve asked states to use to verify voters’ citizenship had inaccurate data and would prevent some citizens from voting. All part of the MAGA plan to suppress the vote and interfere with the midterms to get their desired outcome.

There's a big difference between Congresswoman Craig and me. She does the bidding of corporations and crypto bros. I don't.

The grift of MAGA politicians and hellbent quest to profit at the public’s expense knows no bounds.

Strongest argument for Democrats packing the Supreme Court is that we have never, in the whole history of the republic, had a Court that votes on almost all major decisions on a straight party line the way the Roberts Court does now. /1 nathannewman.substack.com/p/weve-never...

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. AND He paid $0 in Federal Taxes Last Year Tax the shit out of billionaires and this trillionaire!!

The ruling regime knows it's losing, so it's following the same old playbook: lie and lash out. A political party tries to court votes. An authoritarian regime tries to keep people from voting, keep votes from counting and attack voting rights orgs who ensure our freedoms. www.handsoffohio.org

yesterday, trump goons raided the offices of the ohio organizing collaborative, a group that’s been doing voter registration for over 20 years. they even showed up at people’s homes. we have to watch out for this shit. it is an outright attack on Black voters, and on all of our freedom to vote

Report finds higher denial rates from for profit insurance companies — who would have guessed?!?! Corporations and their billionaire investors should not be profiting from denying care. We need single payer healthcare. A good baby step would be to get for profit insurers out of the market.

🚨BREAKING: The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed Thursday to hear an appeal seeking to strike down the state’s Republican gerrymandered congressional map, reviving a major fight for fairer maps that could reshape Wisconsin’s U.S. House delegation for 2028. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, America Samoa, and the Northern Marianas should all be made full-fledged states and given representation in Congress. America revolted because of a lack of representation yet here we are.

A few things to know about Jay Clayton’s DNI nomination: - he’s spent the last 7 months investigating Trump’s political foes at Trump’s insistence - he doesn’t meet statutory requirements for the job - he recently defended the slush fund and California conspiracy theories www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump loves inflation because billionaires win when workers lose. #TrumpLovesTheInflation

@klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com Can we count on you to Vote No on this Trump appointee to the 8th circuit?

America isn’t in financial trouble because we have to help the poor. We’re in financial trouble because we can’t satisfy the rich. youtube.com/shorts/qQNc4...

Challenge their assertions at every turn. Demand evidence. Sue them for defamation when they lie about people. Shout loudly that this is the cry of sore losers. Make that label -- sore losers -- stick to them NOW.

This👇🏻. Trump won’t cancel the election—authoritarians love them. Instead they undermine their legitimacy with claims of fraud, suppress the vote to rig the results, and delay elections seating winners they don’t like. It will take an organized, multiracial coalition of We the People to stop this.

Stacey Abrams spoke at the Women Winning lunch today about the need to organize those with shared values to elect candidates who will enact a bold agenda that will improve all of our lives, regardless of what we look like, where we come from, or the language we speak.

I’m with Peggy. Tina has it right: “I believe that this election will be won by people and not money,” said Sen. Smith. app.startribune.com/story/601851...

Trump is continuing to undermine our elections and is practicing for Nov.: claim fraud, start investigations, sow doubt and create chaos. Answer: Vote early and get everyone you know to join you. Overwhelming victories that cannot be denied are how we’ll win.

state should have bought and demo'd it when we had the chance. An empty prison always begs to be filled.

Faith in Minnesota leaders are proud to endorse @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social for Henn. Co. Attorney! We believe he is ready to defend our democracy, fight for workers’ rights, and ensure residents have equal access to justice no matter what neighborhood we live in or what our background is.

We don’t often get NYT column reprints, but I was very glad to see this from @jamellebouie.net in today’s print StarTribune. Really strong piece warning of the dangers of Dems just trying to go back to “normal” after Trump. It’s among Bouie’s best (which is saying something)

Trump and his cronies are starting with the most vulnerable (immigrants and Trans folks), but will come for all of us eventually. Our liberation is bound together. We all hang together or we all hang separately. 👇🏻👇🏻

This will not end w/ voting rights. The fundamental premises of these SCOTUS opinions are: 1) Anti-discrimination is actually unconstitutional discrimination; 2) Intentional discrimination isn't actionable if any alternative rationale is presented. It's the beginning of the end of civil rights law.

It's never a bad time for Minnesotans to check that their voter registration is up to date. But given that local elections offices will be sending ballots to some voters' home addresses in late June, I'd say early June is a particularly appropriate time. mnvotes.sos.mn.gov/voterstatusc...

This👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Trump and allies are laying the groundwork to ignore election results. But, We the People will prevail.

The avalanche of MPD news following Chief O'Hara's departure is strange. It's like the Star Tribune was holding back these stories, and now the embargo has been lifted. If all of this was going on behind the scenes, why did Frey move to reappoint him just weeks ago? Fishy all around.

among all the resolutions passed at the state DFL convention this weekend to become part of the party's platform, the highest approval came in for ending citizens united, with 78.22% of delegates voting in favor

I find it totally bizarre that no twin cities outlets even mentioned this in passing. People were fired from jobs for criticizing Charlie Kirk, but praising a convicted murderer isn’t a scandal?

Wtf?!?! Minnesota GOP had a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin. That’s the cop who murdered George Floyd. ___________[fill in the blank] if it walks like a duck…

The Senate DFL passed a bill this session to limit private equity firms from owning more than 100 single-family homes. This was a commonsense bill and House Republicans still killed it. #mnleg www.startribune.com/investor-own...
