An emotionally challenging & also proud moment: The MN House unanimously voted to rename MN's community solar garden (CSG) program after Speaker Emerita Hortman. She authored the 2013 CSG bill, which caused solar to grow from 1 MW to over 3 GW today. Just one example of the good she did for MN.💔

In Minnesota, we're creating infrastructure to make people feel safe. Everyone should feel included- even baby Hans. 🥰 www.startribune.com/lawmaker-hus...

We all deserve the freedom to feel and be safe in our communities. This isn't about politics - it's about people. I hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will find the courage to do the right thing. Listen to Harper Moyski's mom, Jackie.

Did you know over 40% (!) of Minnesota’s two-year college students reported experiencing food insecurity? Grateful for the work our constituents with LEAD Minnesota are doing to address hunger on college campuses.

In Minnesota, we take care of each other. The love our neighbors have shown for each other during the unconstitutional action of the federal government is a model for the country to follow. Our bills to hold ICE accountable are rooted in that love and care.

Minnesotans deserve comprehensive, quality health care. Glad to meet w/ Minneapolis Ophthalmologists from our district to discuss state solutions to critical funding cuts causing clinic closures. Increased patient demand & the impact of immigration policies are significantly limiting access to care.

Speaker Hortman’s legacy is one of visionary leadership & lasting change. She worked tirelessly to make Minnesota a better state for everyone. Her love for MN, community, & her family ran deep. Her presence will be missed. Let's keep working together to carry on Melissa's legacy. #LFG. #mnleg

ICE actions continue to be dangerous and unconstitutional, violating free speech and civil rights. Read my op ed with @SenatorChampion and @OmarFatehMN on our plan to let Minnesotans sue for civil damages when their rights are violated. www.startribune.com/minnesota-ic...

There is no doubt that Minnesotans are helpers. Make sure you’re protected when you give or set up donation campaigns 👇

ICE agents are trampling on the civil and constitutional rights of Minnesotans every day. Enough is enough. DFL Rep. Jamie Long just announced that he’s authoring legislation that would establish a right for Minnesotans to sue federal officers for constitutional rights violations.

Last week, a constituent contacted me about a patient at HCMC w/ ICE presence in private care spaces. I got there at midnight, talked to staff, & learned ICE had no judicial warrant yet would not leave. HCMC staff could not compel them to go. This is unacceptable. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/u...

The Minneapolis Legislative Delegation, City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, & Minneapolis Public Schools will hold regular intergovernmental briefings regarding ICE in our city. The next one will be 1/21 at noon. Subscribe to this channel to stay up-to-date: www.youtube.com/@metroiceout...

MN kids' education is being disrupted across the state b/c of Operation Metro Surge. This is not inevitable. It's the result of a policy choice from the Trump's admin. ICE needs to leave. We deserve better for our kids & communities. www.startribune.com/attendance-d...

ICE is making Minnesota less safe, and Minnesotans have had enough. The greatest power is with the people. Raise your voice to demand an end to the ICE surge. www.facebook.com/events/s/ice...

Tell me how these are not the words of a wannabe Gestapo. Truth: America is a country of laws and no one has full immunity from accountability.

ICE needs to leave Minneapolis NOW.

We're building a more resilient Minneapolis together. Check out my latest column outlining legislative accomplishments, challenges, and priorities for House District 61A. hillandlakepress.org/building-res...

Trump spreading lies about Melissa Hortman’s assassination - just why? To what end? Other than to show how low he can go? There is zero validity in what he’s peddling, and it’s unacceptable for any leader to hawk such BS.

MN is short over 100,000 homes, incl. affordable housing, dignified housing, & homes that a Minnesotan earning an average wage can rent/buy. To solve this, we need multiple approaches: -supply ⬆️ -public/social housing 💰 Mpls shows a path. Now, let's go statewide. www.youtube.com/shorts/gyZ-3...

Now more than ever is the time to get your sambusa or taco fix and support our immigrant-owned businesses! Federal attacks on our immigrant community have instilled fear, reduced business traffic, and have put vibrant businesses at risk. WE have power to help keep them afloat.

This is extremely important

Taking transit impacts one's leadership of it. Just as we tour fire stations & water treatment plants, electeds should learn how transit works & FEELS in person. Otherwise it's hard to grasp what safety, the human connection, or a missed transfer means to riders. www.startribune.com/metro-transi...

Dear neighbor, This morning, ICE surrounded a construction site with Latino workers in this dangerously cold weather. One worker had to leave in an ambulance because they were forced to stay on the roof of the construction site as ICE attempted to kidnap them. 1/

Donald Trump has brought his lawlessness to Minnesota, sending ICE agents here to divide and terrorize our communities. But House DFLers will always stand with our neighbors. We are Minnesotans. And Minnesotans have each other’s backs.

US citizen and veteran detained by ICE: I’m here as a veteran, father, and ordinary person who believes in our country. I respect law enforcement, but I also believe accountability is the foundation for respect. I was arrested and detained by ICE agents.

It’s great to see New Ulm expand its housing options, but with MN short over 100k homes, we cannot afford to wait for other cities to do the same. It’s time for a regional approach: #YestoHomes legislation. www.startribune.com/faced-with-a...

Trump’s cruelty continues to know no bounds. His new HUD policies will decimate MN’s supportive housing - the most effective solutions to homelessness.  But Minnesotans care about our neighbors & are coming together to fight back. Last night I participated in “Losing Sleep, Losing Homes”. 1/

America’s Housing Crisis, in One Chart - We want a thriving community, but no one can do well w/o a home. And we simply aren’t building enough. We must tare down local barriers to build. Our Yes to Homes bill in MN will help with that. Fed support is also welcome www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/o...

Words matter. The rise in violent speech has consequences. as we painfully experienced w/ Melissa & Mark Hortmans' assassination. Trump's threats of political violence towards Dem lawmakers for criticizing his admin. are dangerous. Such words are antidemocratic, unacceptable, & must be denounced.

Climate change may seem like a distant, future issue, but it's an: - affordability - housing - homelessness issue, TODAY. The more we push off climate mitigation and resilience actions, the more expensive in $, health, & quality of life it will be for all. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Interrupting your feed with some MN pride! The Lower Sioux Indian Community is leading the WORLD in building healthy, eco-friendly hempcrete homes. I am honored to work with Danny & the proposal team to reduce barriers in the building code to make using hempcrete easier. youtu.be/pW2zRk-INCw?...

Nearly one in three kindergarteners in Minnesota relies on SNAP. We need President Trump to release the emergency contingency funds $$$ now.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies. Trump just won’t release it. 440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

I joined a coalition of Minnesota DFL legislators in sending a letter to President Donald Trump and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, strongly encouraging the Administration to release available funds so that SNAP benefits are not interrupted come November.

We stand with our immigrant community.

Gun violence is not a partisan issue; it's about keeping our communities and our children safe. Share your story and tell legislators how gun violence has impacted you and your community. www.surveymonkey.com/r/M7256Y2

Thanks to @mnseia.bsky.social for inviting @zaynebmohamed.bsky.social & me to talk about clean energy at the Gateway to Solar conference! Loved diving into clean energy funding, land use efficiency, agrivoltaics, & history of the nuclear moratorium deal with MN’s tribal nations.

The heat will soon be on at 100s of MN homes thanks to union pipefitters & members of the MN Mechanical Contractors Assn! These “Heat’s On” event volunteers are up early to provide those in need w/ furnace repairs. Thanks for letting @emmagreenman.bsky.social & I join you to kick off today!

Trump just canceled $464M in clean energy grants for Minnesota, threatening key transmission projects and driving up costs for northern Minnesota families. Sen. Hauschild is calling Rep. Stauber to demand these partisan cuts be reversed. Minnesotans shouldn’t pay the price for Washington’s games.

The Federal Dept. of Justice is suing MN for our voter roles, under the guise of rooting out non-citizen voters. But in state after state, investigations into non-citizen voting show how rare such occurrences are. Most recently from GOP Secretary of State Landry in Louisiana, said, "I want ...1/2

It's not ok to: ->Raid our communities ->Disappear ppl ->Deny due process Videos of ICE kidnapping ppl off the streets are sickening. Such tactics were used 90 years ago in Germany to instill fear & for a dictator to seize power. To stop it, we must push back. Join in on 10/18 www.nokings.org

Reminder: GOP has the majority of the: US House US Senate And they hold the White House. It is entirely within their power to listen to the American people, actually provide the services Americans want, stop giveaways to billionaires, and prevent a federal government shutdown.

🚨BIG NEWS:🚨 Minnesota Democrats just unveiled our proposal for a possible special session. Our plan would: ✅Ban assault weapons ✅Ban high-capacity magazines ✅Ban binary triggers ✅Implement 'safe storage' rules ✅Ban untraceable 'ghost guns' ✅Strengthen MN's red flag law

The DFL is ready to take real action against gun violence.

Trump doesn't care about ppl needing Medicaid. He also doesn't care to have great docs from around the world treating American patients. MN has a high % of H-1B visas, many of which go to Mayo + other hospital doctors. His proposed $100k visa fee will prevent the world's best from saving US lives.
