Today #mnleg Inclusive Democracy Caucus Co-chairs Sen. Liz Boldon, Rep. Cedrick Frazier and I strongly condemn Trump’s deployment of US Marines on the streets of Los Angeles and his abuses of power to silence dissent and protest. Read full statement here: www.house.mn.gov/members/prof...

Spending the evening at town hall with my state legislators @emmagreenman.bsky.social and @zaynabmmohamed.bsky.social

@emmagreenman.bsky.social answers a question about efforts to suppress free speech and suppress our voice and our votes. “Fear is contagious but so is courage. We have to have courage.”

The “SAVE Act” that passed the US House on Thursday is a 🚨five alarm fire🚨 for representative democracy. It threatens the freedoms to vote of every eligible voter. You can read our shared statement on behalf of the #mnleg Inclusive Democracy Caucus here: www.house.mn.gov/members/prof...

Stopping Claim Sharks is common sense. Don’t let predators steal veteran benefits! @emmagreenman.bsky.social speaking today at the MN Capitol:

Veterans Day on the Hill! We passed a Veterans budget, but work continues to pass one of the MDVA's key priorities this session - to address the proliferation of predatory claim sharks who usurp veterans benefits. This urgent effort is being led by the indefatigable @emmagreenman.bsky.social. #mnleg

💯 this

One of the reasons Senator Booker was so able to capture the hearts & souls of all of us in the delivery of this epic 25+ hr speech is because it was genuine and authentic. This is who this man is.

From your neighbor next door in Minnesota - Thank you Wisconsin for showing that voters are not for sale! #wis #savedemocracy

Donald Trump's unconstitutional executive order is another authoritarian power grab that attempts to strip states of the power to conduct free and fair elections and bullying them into complying with his extreme agenda. Our statement from the #mnleg Inclusive Democracy Caucus 👇

PSA: Go get your annual eye exam! 👁️😎 Or, election administration is so cool you gotta wear shades 🗳️🕶️

Don’t tell me democracy is at risk and a constitutional crisis is unfolding and the best you got is a modified ping pong paddle.

Legitimately chilling to hear the man who tried to overturn an election when he lost say he's going to return "true" democracy to America.

Hell yeah, Rep. Al Green

On the #mnleg House floor as the GOP pass off bullying trans kids as “fairness”. Their strategy of division, exclusion & hate will fail on the House floor. We will protect trans kids. I’m proud to be on the right side of history & serving with two of the best people I know 🏳️‍⚧️

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Join me, Rep. Sencer-Mura & Sen. Mohamed for a District 63 Town Hall to provide updates about our work at the Capitol to l unrig our economy, defend our democracy and protect Minnesotans against the unconstitutional actions of the Trump/Musk administration. Please join us for the conversation!

MSP Delta flight to Toronto crashes while landing. Also, Trump fired a bunch of air traffic controllers today.

Good day to bundle up and get outside!

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

1/ I’ve said before that local media will underplay the GOP trying to steal @bradtabke.bsky.social’s seat. A couple of pieces of evidence: KSTP’s own poll story doesn’t mention that a 47-29 margin favor seating Tabke (you have to click through the tiny link at the bottom). kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

There’s no going back to the Constitutional status quo as we know it. “They’ve taken steps that cannot be so easily reversed. President Trump and Elon Musk really have altered the structure of things.” Terrifying & accurate. Exceptionalism shouldn’t blind us from believing our own eyes. 🧵1/2

It was wonderful to spend some time with my @mnfarmersunion.bsky.social friends connecting on the work to level the playing field for family farmers and the Minnesota families they feed. It was my first time at their farmer-to-table Farmer’s Kitchen and Bar - but won’t be the last! #mnleg

Two South High Tigers 🐯 at a Timberwolves game!

Must read commentary by @emmagreenman.bsky.social. "House Republicans continue to abuse power and employ tactics popularized by Trump. They are threatening to steal an election..." www.startribune.com/were-fightin...

"It’s the Trumpism playbook: Ignore legal limits, break established norms, commandeer institutional resources, pressure institutional actors to accommodate and dare others to stop you." Thank you, @emmagreenman.bsky.social! House Republicans have been striking at the heart of our democracy. #mnleg

One clear lesson from my decade on the frontlines of the national fight to defend democracy: Our freedoms are only as secure as the power of people to protect them for everyone & our democratic institutions are only as strong as those who hold the line to defend them. That will take all of us #mnleg

Grateful to spend the afternoon at Ujamma Place learning more about the impact of their culturally responsive, holistic model of couching, education, and personal-growth. I was inspired and moved hearing from the men who are working hard to transform their lives and communities.

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.
 We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm. Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.

First time visiting the local @bubblypaws on 48th and Chicago - Elliot came with to help give Barkley a bath and blow dry. So fresh and so clean, clean. 🐾🧼 🫧

I just got a report that the Minneapolis VA has stopped hiring workers thanks to a hasty Trump Executive Order. They’ve rescinded offers to dozens of people who were going to fill critical roles to care for vets.

@mcpli.bsky.social Minnesota House GOP’s legislative coup is bizarre but no less brazen than the MAGA-emboldened GOP power grabs seen around the country. House Democrats are standing strong to protect the will of the voters from actions the MN Supreme Court ruled illegal & unconstitutional #mnleg

A big win for Ds in one of the more bizarre state-level power grab stories

Full day of digging into policies to protect Minnesotans and public services from misclassification fraud, strategies for tax transparency and lowering property taxes & my junk fees ban. Best part was drinking coffee and snacking at great local spots @wildgrindcoffee.bsky.social & Sunstreet Breads

Thanks to the Neighborhood Development Center the tour and discussion about their work. Proud to partner with NDC to support their work to provide financing, technical assistance, and support for local Main Street entrepreneurs that make our communities stronger.

The U.S. Constitution provides for birthright citizenship. An Executive Order cannot change the U.S. Constitution. 👇👇👇

Today is so hard. It’s heartbreaking to watch power transfer to a politician who’s guided by vengeance, motived by greed & whose MO is punching down and redistributing up. It’s on us to defend our democracy & freedoms. We can’t let them take us backwards. www.startribune.com/minnesota-ha...

That’s their plan: obtain power to make money for themselves and their friends - let everything else burn. This is not what people voted for.

The future is bright! 8th graders are designing and engineering the cities on the ocean in the Future Cities competition. I love serving as a guest judge at Justice Page Middle School and getting to watch these brilliant students in action!

Proud to launch our 2025 @mnhouseDFL agenda this morning - an agenda for the people, not the powerful. House Democrats are fighting to unrig our economy and put our democracy back in the hands of Minnesotans. Watch my comments at today’s presser here: youtu.be/JtsYgPR7ELU?...

Another great stop today at the City of Minneapolis’ parking management and sign shop. We spoke with public works staff to discuss their jobs supporting the city, making our streets safer for pedestrians, bikers, and drivers alike.

A day of meetings about strengthening misclassification fraud laws, support for small businesses & shielding MN from Trump’s “punch down, redistribute up” agenda. Best part was a constituent chat with Jackie at Sun Street Breads to connect on getting the greed out of healthcare.

For our trans fam: The MN House has been seized by the GOP without the majority or authority to do so. But this DOES NOT MEAN our work to protect trans healthcare or trans refuge will be undone. Tim Walz is still our Governor. Dems will control the Senate. This is STILL a trans refuge state.

It was great meeting with Unidos MN today to discuss the work of protecting our neighbors from the threats of the incoming Trump administration. Only standing together can we support our communities and I’m glad to be in this work with Rep. @aishagomez.bsky.social and organizations like Unidos MN.

This is a constitutional crisis that the MN House GOP fomented with their lawless and unprecedented behavior - coming from Minnesota’s wing of the MAGA Trump party with an established history of using unprecedented illegal maneuvers to overturn elections they don’t win. #mnleg x.com/HeartlandSig...
