Congratulations to the U.S. Men’s and Women’s hockey teams, Alysa Liu, Breezy Johnson, Mikaela Shiffrin and all the amazing Olympic athletes representing Team USA.

Voters from every corner of the state & from every political background are supporting this campaign because they know I'm not focused on party politics - I just want to do what's best for Iowa families.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals. That amounts to $456,621 per hour. But how are you doing?

Every eligible citizen should be able to vote without unnecessary barriers. Voter ID laws undermine that principle by turning a right into a privilege that can be lost. And who’s bearing the brunt of that cost? Those who’ve been historically disenfranchised.

Kind of impressive that Krash Patel thinks he's been hired just to go on taxpayer-funded vacations

I wonder if that’s a women’s medium jersey.

Here's Kash Patel, Director of the Federal Bureau of Jock-Sniffing On The Taxpayer's Dime

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

While the Trump administration has cut funding for healthcare, nutrition assistance, cancer research, disaster relief & recovery, veterans care, education, public health, violence prevention, local police, school lunches and just about every other program that helps Americans, they want to spend...

This is outrageous! The very definition of fraud, waste, and abuse. An executive jet that the Department of Homeland Security says it “needs” for deportation flights and Cabinet travel isn’t some standard government aircraft.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

FBI refusing to share Alex Pretti shooting evidence with state investigators. "BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said Monday that the FBI formally notified the state on Friday that it won’t grant the access." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Today the Minnesota House gaveled into session for the first time since we lost Speaker Hortman, Mark, and Gilbert. In the spirit of Melissa, we commit to doing our work with humility, grace, and compassion.

How come a sitting president can sue an individual, but an individual cannot sue a sitting president?

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

The stock market is not the economy. 🤷

A criminal case collapses after ICE agents were caught lying under oath, as federal courts flex contempt powers and a grand jury’s refusal to indict six members of Congress — plus the deepening Epstein fallout and mounting pressure on Pam Bondi. Watch Legal AF live now!

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

Families shouldn’t have to pick between keeping the lights on and putting food on the table. The administration’s reckless tariffs and energy policies are harming our economy and the American people are paying the price.

ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face. Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called "less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.

It’s a beautiful day in Minnesota. Spring is coming, people.

Judge rules ICE likely violated Minnesota detainees' constitutional rights #ICEOUT #Whipple #FDT #Epstein #GTFO thehill.com/regulation/c...

I’m tired of the ignorance of voters saying “idk what the big deal is about requiring id to vote”🤦🏽‍♀️ ppl take a civics class & understand the 24th Amendment makes poll taxes ILLEGAL! Ah yes that word illegal. You can’t make ppl PAY for a document to vote… it violates the constitution, so no SAVE Act!

Trump Panics as Calls for Impeachment & Resignations Mount open.substack.com/pub/michaelp...

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

Over and over again, ICE has not told the truth about what they did in Minnesota, smearing people as "terrorists" or "assassins” and giving false accounts of what happened. This is just one unbelievable example of many. But this was under oath.

#PutinKILLEDNavalny Five European countries now believe Alexei Navalny was killed by Putin with dart frog poison.

Jeanine Pirro has sued her hometown of Rye because she tripped and fell while walking. Rye has third-partied into the lawsuit Franzia wine, Seagram's gin, and Cutty Sark. apnews.com/article/jean...

My faith guides me everyday - it's something Rev. Dr. Whitfield & I share. Glad to have him on Team Sand. www.thegazette.com/guest-column...

The Justice Department is investigating whether two immigration officers lied under oath about a shooting last month in Minneapolis, after federal prosecutors dropped criminal charges against two men accused of attacking them. on.wsj.com/4aBL58J

"Conway struck [an] urgent tone: 'We are facing a president who does not care about the rule of law …. He has to go. We cannot last three more years of this. It’s either him or us. It’s America or Trump.”

Donald Trump is playing politics yet again with your money. His decision to block funding rightfully coming to our state comes at a real cost to our economy. Illinois is fighting this lawless action by Trump's DOT in court.

In the early morning, ICE raided the elementary school bus stop during the pick-up time, causing panic among the 4th and 5th graders. This unfortunate event took place outside the Woodland Village Apartments in Lindenwold, New Jersey.

Don't let the governor mislead you. Gutting public education isn't going to help student outcomes, and Iowa schools have been on the decline under her watch. We need to get back to supporting our students and schools that made Iowa strong. www.thegazette.com/k/iowa-publi...

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Firing a pilot for leaving Kristi Noem's blanket behind. Berating staff when she's not on TV enough. Inside the constant chaos at DHS. on.wsj.com/4bQ8NjG

People are asking what they can do to help Minnesota. Come to our state, because it’s a beautiful place. Meet our people. Support our small businesses. Take in a concert. For months, Minnesotans showed the world that we are all neighbors. As soon as you visit, you’ll understand.

"They want to make you think twice before you and other lawmakers cut similar videos or speak out against the administration's actions. I presume you're not going to be intimidated, but do you think others might be?" "They already have been." @captmarkkelly.bsky.social joins @samsteindc.bsky.social

Sen. Peters: “Is beating someone with a spray canister, is that de-escalatory?” CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott: “What I'm seeing is a subject that's also not compliant. He's not following any guidance. He's fighting back nonstop…I don't know what's going on in this situation.”

BREAKING: A judge rules Pete Hegseth violated Sen. Mark Kelly’s First Amendment rights by moving to strip him of his retired military rank for reminding troops to refuse illegal orders. The judge called the defense secretary’s actions a threat to “the constitutional liberties of military retirees.”

Newly released body camera footage further undermines the Trump administration’s efforts to falsely portray Marimar Martinez as a domestic terrorist. Like in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, DHS might have gotten away with its false claims were it not for this video evidence.

Only a year later

Minnesotans are decent, caring neighbors — and some of the toughest damn people you’ll ever find.
