Praise to the forward looking leadership of Sen Bobby Joe Champion and Rep Emma Greenman. The States run elections. Minnesota assures full, fair, equitable, and secure access to the ballot, where ever you live and whoever you are. www.startribune.com/republican-r...

Early this morning with striking hospice nurses. My family experienced the skilled caregiving of hospice when we lost our mom. A unique specialty, these nurses guide families through loss with dignity. Pay them. Pay them well. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

So much to see at HCMC. Got into a hyperbaric chamber, the emergency department, up to the helipad, and into a meeting with mission driven providers who are committed to their patients and care. This session’s work for HCMC and other distressed hospitals was critical and it’s ongoing.

Thinking of Melissa today

Hiking into the woods to celebrate and remember the radiant lives of Melissa and Mark Hortman and Gilbert. 💙

Thanks to Paul Cumings @paulcumings.bsky.social. Celebrating the lives of Melissa, Mark, and Gilbert with cake, bread, stories and each other brings comfort and rest.

The St Paul City Council and Mayor Kaohly Her proclaimed June 14th for Melissa and Mark Hortman and Gilbert. It was my honor to join them. May their memories be a blessing.

Thank you to the National Coalition of 100 Black Women for the honor of joining your national conference this morning. In a room of power, we talked policy, advocacy, and how we make change. With President Virginia W. Harris, Toni Carter, and Fatima Moore.

Democrats have filed to run in every of the 201 legislative seats on the ballot this fall. It’s historic and a big damn deal.

A weekend of work, fellowship, and hope. We are ready for the work, and the fight, for our future.

This was a challenging and productive session. Sen @erinmayequade.bsky.social with strong bipartisan support, led this effort to establish social media protections for young people under age 16. Gov Walz signed it into law today, www.startribune.com/minnesota-ad...

We moved muscular policy, leaving the talking points behind. Prevent fraud, hold proven wrongdoers accountable, strengthen the services people count on, and restore confidence in what we can accomplish together. Incredible work for our future. www.startribune.com/minnesota-la...

Personal and powerful, Ms. Demuth is a survivor of a Minnesota school shooting. We should listen, and act, for our children and their lives. www.startribune.com/mn-gun-contr...

Gorgeous morning on the St Croix River. Everyone caught fish. Thanks to Evan, our excellent guide, and @governorwalz.mn.gov who caught the biggest fish.

TELL YOUR REPS: MN needs a senate vote on #SF3699 aka "protected spaces and show us your faces" aka #STOPlawlessICE 💯 THRILLED to have 5 great #mnleg #mnsenate state senators as authors -- including Senate Leader Erin Murphy!! @epmurphymn.bsky.social

Sweaty, joyful, sub caucusing at the #Mighty64 DFL convention.

Big moments, big crowds, and hope. There is joy in our fight.

“They picked the wrong town.” -Bruce Springsteen 💙

Spirited and faithful Minnesotans gathered at the Minnesota Capitol. Feed the hungry. Heal the sick. Welcome the stranger. #PalmSunday2026

Thursday’s efforts to move forward a ban on high-capacity magazines and on semiautomatic military-style assault weapons both failed on 67-67 party-line procedural votes. Senate leaders on gun violence prevention remain committed to making our communities and Minnesota a safer place.

This, from Harper Moyski’s parents, Mike and Jackie. As the Senate takes up gun violence today, know your gut wrenching testimony, the empty desks and invitation to join in song are with me, with us, and in our work. www.startribune.com/opinion-does...

Because of Donald Trump and complicit Republicans, health care is unaffordable in Minnesota. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

It’s convention season; time to lift our voices for the future. I believe in us. #JoyFightWin

Just 6 days ago, this president said the future of Iran was in the hands of the Iranian people. Now we know that wasn’t true. And we know he doesn’t know what he’s doing or why in his $50 billion war. www.axios.com/2026/03/05/i...

This is the beginning of Kristi Noem’s accountability, not the end.

Joined colleagues and faith leaders in a message of peace and unity, breaking bread together. Thanks to Reps Samakab Hussein and Dave Baker for a meaningful evening. Ramadan Mubarak!

60 empty desks should hold the 60 Minnesota children killed by guns since 2021.

In Minnesota we care about each other. We help each other. We render aid. We follow the law. ICE should to. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Here for the joyful noise, with thousands of fellow Minnesotans.

Thank you Senator Erin Murphy @epmurphymn.bsky.social for introducing this bill

The GOP’s talking point on “state & federal cooperation” is blown apart by their own action. It’s no wonder people don’t believe them.

Yesterday I joined families on the Capitol steps. Their children passed Rep Moller and I the baton to end gun violence, to protect the lives of our kids, and issued a plea for no more broken hearts”. With faith in each other, we return to the People’s House to do the work of the people. ♥️

This president’s post is disgusting. That can’t be deleted. Trump deletes racist meme of the Obamas www.npr.org/2026/02/06/n...

The #Mighty64, showed up, ready to fight for Minnesota. We are the North Star, burning brightly for each other and our future.

Tonight we caucus. Let’s go, Minnesota!

Here and in states across fhe nation, state legislators are taking action to restrict ICE. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

A big swing In Texas. Minnesota sends congratulations, Taylor Rehmet. #LFG www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

Spoke with @ms.now about Minnesota and the fight ahead of us. #ICEOut

Persistent acts of courage in Minnesota. There’s more than one hero in this story. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Will be there in 64B for the Mighty @epmurphymn.bsky.social

Joined Julian Ocampo at his small business, closed because of ICE Occupation. The harm to people, communities, and our economy spreads like a stain, the result of the reckless, lawless federal action. Congress should strengthen legal immigration. Instead, they are destroying jobs and lives.

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.

We Minnesotans are justice-loving people and we are fighting for our freedom and yours. Our peaceful protests, our neighbors out in the cold for each other, are grounded in the fight for our people, for our State, and for our Republic. share.google/q3uDVyDutyY8...

Mr. Alex Pretti. RN. ICU nurse, cared for veterans.

It is impossible not to feel enraged in this horrible moment. The grief at the loss of another Minnesotan life is deep. But it will not deter me. Minnesota lives, freedom, and peaceful existence are being taken by a violent, federal force. I will not back down.

Bright and early start with @seiuhcmnia.bsky.social healthcare workers in the determined fight for a fair contract. On Minnesota’s Truth and Freedom Day, their fiery purpose can melt ice.

Ya, it’s slippery in the winter, Tricia.

Minnesotans deserve safety, dignity, and full protection of the law. We strongly support the AG's efforts to defend our state’s sovereignty, uphold the constitution, and put an end to illegal action. We stand with our neighbors, and state and local leaders in demanding accountability and justice.

For the safety and lives of Minnesotans. #IceOut

Yesterday, I sent a letter to US Attorney Rosen Demanding that Minnesota be part of the investigation into the ICE killing of Renee Good.
