Tonight’s election results show that decades of lower taxes for wealthy, merger mania, & de-regulation of big business are unpopular and have led to an affordability crisis for everyone except the 1%. Tonight’s results show that Americans won’t fall for hate and division, but want human solidarity.

Tonight’s election results prove that Trump and Trumpism are bad politics - deeply unpopular.

Virginia’s next Governor is Abigail Spanberger! She will bring people together and get things done for Virginia. Congratulations on your victory!

It's Election Day across Minnesota! Polls are open until 8 PM! If you’re in line by then, you can still vote. Now more than ever, we must use our voices to shape a Minnesota where everyone can afford to live their life with dignity, safety, and respect. Find your polling place: mnvotes.org

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28. If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

🚨 A vote for Jason Miyares is a vote for an AG who will let Trump do whatever he wants to Virginia for the next four years.

After a 3-day trial, judge issued an injunction blocking Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Portland. Under 10 U.S.C. 12406, Trump can only deploy Guard in case of invasion, rebellion or an inability to execute the laws of the United States using regular forces. None of those applied.

Millions of people — parents, seniors, and kids — rely on SNAP to put food on the table. Threatening that support isn’t tough leadership. It’s unlawful.

Mayor @melvincarter.bsky.social shows up for St. Paul — fighting for families, expanding opportunity, and making sure every neighbor has a fair shot to afford their life. I’m proud to endorse him for re-election. St. Paul, make sure you vote for Melvin by 8pm tomorrow, Nov. 4th!

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into it.

At Second Harvest Heartland today. After last week’s SNAP Court fight, where Americans who need food assistance won, and Trump and the Oligarchs lost, I wanted to be where People who care about feeding hungry People are.

A big thank you to @keithellison.bsky.social and Democratic Attorneys General who got it done.

“Operation Midway Blitz” will continue in and around Chicago through Halloween weekend.

Breaking: it's now official, the pro-EU D66 party came first in the Dutch election. Their best result ever. The National Press Agency has just announced the final vote count. It’s a narrow victory with D66 just 15,155 votes ahead of the far-right PVV of Geert Wilders.

“I struggled with it a lot because I don't want to raise prices in November. It feels like blackmailing the customer.” Small business owners across the country are feeling the impact of Trump’s tariffs. But candy makers especially are feeling the heat right now.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office. Why the delay from Mike Johnson? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

“Unjust structures need to be recognized and eradicated by the force of good, by changing mindsets but also, with the help of science and technology, by developing effective policies for societal change,” Pope Leo writes. www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/e...

I won’t let Trump use hunger as a political weapon. His Department of Agriculture has multiple ways to continue feeding hungry Minnesotans during the shutdown. And instead of using it, they tried to take food off the table of kids and families across the country.

Now the Trump administration must follow the law and feed Americans. No more games. No more cruelty.

Ruling from the bench, RI ordered restoration of SNAP benefits. Another federal judge ruled that the Trump plan not to pay out SNAP benefits was "unlawful" but stopped short of ordering the Trump administration to disperse funds immediately. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Congress put a rainy-day fund in place to continue nutrition support during a government shutdown. Trump’s USDA is refusing to tap into those funds. Using hungry children as bargaining chips isn’t just cruel, it’s unlawful. That’s why we’re taking Trump to court. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/u...

We know what’s at stake right now: our democracy, freedom, and the promise that no one—not a president, corporation, or billionaire—is above the law. I’ll always hold the line because in Minnesota, the people rule.

It is hard to be shocked by the cruelty and illegality of the Trump administration anymore, yet I am shocked that Trump is deliberately allowing 440,000 Minnesotans, to go hungry. I am taking the Trump administration to court to help feed people in need.

Local elections are happening across Minnesota in ONE WEEK! You can vote early now by mail or in-person. Head to mnvotes.org to find your polling place.

Thank you Keith E!

Trump Administration loses again re shutdown layoffs. apple.news/ABTnzu69dSGq...

I’m suing the Trump administration for illegally suspending the SNAP benefits that 440,000 Minnesotans rely on. My job is to help Minnesotans afford their lives—and today that means taking Trump to court to help feed people in need.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Without health care, Americans won’t get the screenings they need to detect cancer early and get the care they need. We should be extending the health care tax credits—not letting premiums double for tens of millions of Americans.

More than two dozen Democratic states are suing the Agriculture Department after the Trump administration said it would not use emergency funds to pay SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

First the administration cut food assistance for Americans in need. Now they’re refusing to use emergency funds for food assistance—even though their now-deleted shutdown plan said they could. They have the funding to keep families from going hungry. There’s no excuse.

Don’t be surprised re Trump suspending SNAP benefits, falsely using HIS shutdown as an excuse. Project 2025 directs moving programs like SNAP from USDA into HHS, and reducing USDA’s scope. Includes proposals to end/cut universal free school meals, summer food programs, nutrition support for kids.

With all the crazy mess flying around, take a minute to enjoy the beauty of Minnesota Fall

Great to join my friend melvincarter.bsky.social and neighbors in St. Paul today to hit the doors! Head to www.melvincarter.org to see how you can get involved—and remember to vote by Nov. 4th!

Rs talk big about the national debt when Ds are in power, but when an R holds the presidency, not so much. During Trump I, national debt increased by $7.2T, due to the 2017 tax cuts. Trump II, national debt surpassed $38T in late October 2025, due to the 2025 tax cuts. See a Pattern?

Remember that Republicans control presidency, House and Senate. This shutdown is all theirs. Should be ashamed, but I doubt the care much at all. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Feliz Dia de Los Muertos de Mankato!!

U.S. government’s gross national debt surpassed $38 trillion Wednesday, a record number that highlights the accelerating accumulation of debt on America’s balance sheet. It’s also the fastest accumulation of a trillion dollars in debt outside of the COVID-19 pandemic. apnews.com/article/trum...

Thankful to have the support of Governor Tim Walz, Lieutenant Governor @peggyflanagan.bsky.social, and State Auditor @julieblaha.bsky.social. They lead Minnesota with care and common sense, putting people first and keeping Minnesota moving forward.
