I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink. I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities? Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children? And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

This moment requires all of us to stand up for our neighbors. Sorry Kristi Noem - Minnesotans support our immigrant communities. You can’t divide us. We won’t abandon one another.

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked. Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

Kristi Noem came to Minnesota today to spread cruelty, not solutions. Her attacks on immigrant families don’t make our state safer — they just stoke more fear, confusion, and hurt. We will never be a state for that kind of politics.

The conversation doesn’t end here. Across Minnesota, folks are coming together to keep our communities safe from gun violence. Learn more about the next town hall in the Fight for Gun Violence Prevention series at dfl.org/fightforgvp.

Healthcare is a human right. Let's act like it.

I'm finished with John Fetterman. He is a maga democrat

If you pay for health insurance, you should be able to use it. Insurance companies' prior authorization practices only cheat Minnesotans out of using benefits they pay for - and care their doctor prescribed.

Today, I'm thinking of Paul, Sheila, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will. They were taken from us much too soon. We honor their memories by continuing to organize every day. Paul believed that when we all do better, we all do better. So today, stand up and keep fighting. 💚

"Since Trump’s election, Binance has been a key supporter of the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial crypto venture, a business that has driven a huge leap in the president’s personal wealth..." www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Once again, Canada shows us how it's done. Trump couldn't care less about Reagan. He's far more upset that the tight news narrative he can control with US news media falls apart across a border. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

From @theathletic.com: Over 70 elected officials, including New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, urged the commissioners of the WNBA and NBA "to bargain in good faith" to reach a fair Collective Bargaining Agreement for the women's league.

Broadview PD instructed us to go into the “free speech zone” early. Last week, they told us to go into the street and then we got beat with batons. We’ll see what happens!

The International Court of Justice has made clear that Israel should end its campaign to dismantle UNRWA and stop using starvation as a weapon of war. Palestinians will continue to suffer and die unless Israel lifts its unlawful blockade and allows access to aid.

Priorities.

Who you vote for in a primary matters and that's why I am supporting @peggyflanagan.bsky.social. We need Medicare for all, paid family leave, raising the minimum wage among other things. You don't get what you don't fight for

A D.C. man has filed a lawsuit claiming he was detained for playing Darth Vader's theme from the "Star Wars" while protesting National Guard troops patrolling the city during President Trump's crime crackdown.

Eighty years after George Morrison first walked the streets of New York City with his sketchbooks, the city gathered to celebrate him. The Minnesota-born Ojibwe painter now has an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art showing through May.

BREAKING: The Toronto Tempo are expected to hire Sandy Brondello as the franchise’s first head coach, per @benpickman.bsky.social.

Women’s pro baseball is becoming reality ⚾ ️ New York, Los Angeles, Boston and San Francisco will host the first four teams in the Women’s Pro Baseball League, debuting next spring. Former Little League World Series star Mo’ne Davis was among the hundreds who tried out this summer.

All in for @ag.state.mn.us for another term as attorney general LFG

Attorney General @keithellison.bsky.social is an organizer, a fighter, and Minnesota’s People’s Lawyer.  I’m proud to endorse Keith’s re-election campaign so he can continue the work of helping Minnesota families afford their lives.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

FYI congress just got another week of vacation! Maybe this will encourage more people to run… get paid to never go to work

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

I was honored and humbled to join HRC Minnesota last night for their annual dinner. I am so proud to be a part of a state and an administration that is clear that we will not stop fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. It’s not a political calculus, it’s a moral one.

Thank you to everyone at the #NO_KINGS rallies for making your voices heard & being part of history. The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular! So were the signs...

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

$5 BILLION is headed out the door to build new job-creating, zero-emission projects, fix roads and bridges, and improve sidewalks and bike lanes across California. We're investing in our communities, our people, and the places we drive, walk, and ride every day.

No kings No dictators No facist No nazis We will not bow to a king #nokingsday

Minneapolis is showing up and showing out. #NoKings

#A_NewHope ✊

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

🇺🇸 #Casar: What’s just so sick about it is these #right-wing politicians 'they eat food cooked by #immigrants, they get their fancy cars cleaned by immigrants, they do their corrupt deals in buildings engineered, built, and maintained by immigrants...

Abolish ice

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Happy pride month and a reminder that Jesus never condemned lgbtq folks

When we talk about health care in Kentucky, mental health must be part of the conversation. This May, we're highlighting the need to protect and expand access to therapy, medication, and crisis services for every Kentuckian, regardless of income or zip code.

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

Why do so many Americans not have empathy for anyone? Do they think this makes them look cool? It makes them look weak.

Today on Mother’s Day, let’s remember every mother deserves a livable wage, affordable child care, paid family leave, and the ability to retire with dignity. America must become a nation which treats all mothers and their kids with the respect and dignity they deserve.
