A 3-3 split between liberals and conservatives at the state’s largest school district has led to gridlock over issues including the budget and state social studies standards. Written by @bzosiad.bsky.social

Among those who favor increasing taxes on the rich are 86 percent of Democrats, 62 percent of independents and 38 percent of Republicans. #WealthTax #DFL thehill.com/business/eco...

A clever new study "confirms that the country’s tax code is regressive, not progressive, at the very top," @annielowrey.bsky.social reports. American billionaires "pay lower tax rates than many middle-class professionals":

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar endorses Sen. Omar Fateh for Minneapolis mayor.

Dear @ag.state.mn.us, with the site down, bombed by Trump's Dept. of War, or capitulated, could you help us with what's on www.ag.state.mn.us/Election/Res...? Do you interpret www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cit... as candidate volunteers need the candidate next to them, which they don't at houses?

Sen. Warnock called Georgia’s Medicaid work requirement program “the real waste, fraud, and abuse.” “This report shows that Pathways is incredibly effective at barring working people from health coverage and making corporate consultants richer.”

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

Senator Bernie Sanders says Kennedy’s policies threaten Americans’ health and future.

It is inexcusable to overturn the DFL endorsement from Omar Fateh. A small group, a majority living outside Minneapolis, met privately to overturn the will of Minneapolis delegates who volunteered, organized, and participated in a months-long DFL process. Unacceptable www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

Not the first study to show this www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2...

Here’s last night’s story about deferred prosecution agreements, or DPAs, and how they’re helping corporations avoid prosecution for serious crimes. It’s also about things like NPAs at places like UBS, and the larger question of how many acronyms John can say in one episode. youtu.be/xNo8Ve-Ej6U

What are states doing with their tax codes this year, as a cloud of uncertainty hangs overhead? Some are smartly raising money by taxing their rich. Others are digging a deeper hole through regressive cuts to income and property taxes. itep.org/state-tax-ac...

So to my fellow future voters, my peers who are just now stepping into the political arena: This is our moment! www.commondreams.org/opinion/yout...

Wealthy people are growing their wealth at rates that far outpace those of working people. It's a failure on our tax code when the U.S. is home to the most millionaires of any country, with more than a thousand each day, for an increase of 1.5%. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/19/u...

BREAKING: The Wisconsin Supreme Court's liberal majority strikes down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban.

MOSTLY TRUE: "Undocumented immigrants paid more taxes last year than Amazon, GM, IBM & Netflix combined." Over $40 billions in past 2 years versus only $20 billion by those corporations. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2... from @politifact.bsky.social #ProgressiveWealthTax #TaxWealth #WealthTax

Yes, Trump is a threat to democracy. But the far bigger menace is the monstrous growth in wealth concentration over five decades that made a Trump presidency possible—and maybe inevitable. https://trib.al/mCpdvJH

Let’s be clear: The 2017 Trump tax cuts failed Black women—and millions of others—the first time around. They widened inequality, rewarded the wealthy, and ignored the economic realities of everyday families. www.commondreams.org/opinion/don-...

We are starting special session right now, with the shameful act of ending healthcare access for undocumented adults. It is wrong. Healthcare is a human right.

Many of our billionaires are richer than any pharaoh or king in the history of the world, while a family lifestyle that could be comfortably supported by a single income in 1980 takes two people working full-time to maintain today. https://trib.al/X9l4PzM

The Republican's policy will continue a decades-long effort to weaken a critical tool to prevent the hoarding of wealth from one generation to the next. www.commondreams.org/opinion/gop-...

Poll after poll show Americans would rather have their tax dollars spent on public services than on Pentagon contractors, and would prefer policymakers prioritize spending on healthcare, education, housing, and infrastructure—not the military. www.commondreams.org/opinion/1-tr...

I am so honored to receive the Stonewall DFL endorsement. This endorsement is not just a show of faith in me to protect their community, but it’s a promise on my end to never waver on that commitment.  Too often we see people in power barter away the rights of those most (2/3)

Trump’s youngest son just sealed a $2 BILLION crypto deal with a firm tied to the UAE royal family that'll enrich the Trump family. This is what state-sanctioned corruption looks like and every Republican in Congress who stays silent about it is betraying their constituents.

This is your Tax Day reminder of how the ultra-wealthy use death to cheat taxes.

Today is the day Minneapolis! The DFL Caucus is happening tonight at 7pm. This is an important opportunity to make your voice heard and stand up for our progressive values. Find your caucus location here: minneapolisdfl.org/2025/caucus-... Here’s who I’m supporting: ⬇️

The Pentagon has failed seven audits in a row, and Trump’s solution? Hand them a $1 trillion check like it’s Monopoly money. But sure, tell me again how we “can’t afford” universal school lunches, student debt relief, or even Medicaid. www.forbes.com/sites/willia...

Last year nearly 290,000 people in Mike Johnson’s district were enrolled in Medicaid, about 38% of the total population.

I’m deeply honored to have the endorsement of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar in my campaign for Outreach & Inclusion Officer of the Minnesota DFL.

I have been informed that Veda Kanitz, Chair Emeritus of the DFL Environmental Caucus and SD57 DFL Chair, is running for DFL First Vice Chair, making her the first challenger to incumbent Marge Hoffa. She spoke today at a candidate forum.

There is 1 Tax & Budget resolution on the DFL action platform and it needs #MNleg action @governorwalz.mn.gov @ltgovflanagan.mn.gov: Progressive Wealth Tax Supports a progressive wealth tax on incomes of $100 million or more that increases with higher levels of wealth. dfl.org/wp-content/u...

Medicare for All isn't radical. What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost. Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

If it’s our rights on the chopping block in a government shutdown fight, they won’t fight for us, and that has been made clear, writes @erininthemorning.com truthout.org/articles/wil...

Democrats "may find themselves quickly back in business if they can simply swallow their pride and follow Bernie’s lead."

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Minnesota's #HD40B results dropped and it's a slight overperformance for the Dems in this Harris+39 district: David Gottfried (D)- 70.2% Paul Wikstrom (R)- 29.8%

Minnesota will lose $18 million in funding for school meals and food banks as a result of the USDA's decision to cancel two food purchasing programs. Local farmers will also have to find new buyers for their products. minnesotareformer.com/2025/03/11/u...

I signed a letter asking for Mahmoud Khalil’s immediate release. We will not let this administration trample our constitutional rights and silence voices they don’t like. Free Mahmoud Khalil.

"God has sent us the U.S. administration, and it is clearly telling us—it's time to inherit the land," Israeli Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman said in calling for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza.

A big pile of money wasn’t enough for Democrats to hold the Minnesota House.

@amyklobuchar.com Senator, you spoke at my graduation. I’ve supported you, voted for you, listened to you and now I am absolutely disgusted by you. You are an absolute sham. 7 “YES” votes on the most unqualified and corrupt cabinet in US History. You are not a moderate you simply have no principles.

I really hope @dfl.org isn’t going to stifle discussion and debate at this moment in our history. Have a race for chair, please. We need to end the old ways of politics, stop the top down groupthink and embrace debate and openness.

👍

"To counter the tech oligarchy of Trump’s second term, Democrats need to offer a clear message: no to corporate power and economic elites, yes to more democracy and worker organizing."

Fingers crossed this is an early sign of how the 2026 midterms will go.
