We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.
While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

@angry-grandma612.bsky.social 2 questions. 1. Will it be enough to even fill the demand? 2. One of the reasons there's encampments is because people want their own private space. Are any of the beds in single, private rooms for a single person or couple? I doubt it.

The bill requires corporations to provide traditional pension plans for their workers or pay into the federal retirement system to ensure all workers receive retirement benefits.

At least 4,900 Minnesotans are at risk of being pushed to the streets because of Trump’s cuts to housing - children, seniors, veterans.

The Trump admin is about to cut housing grants for the formerly homeless.
HUD plans to cut aid for permanent housing by 66%, slashing over $2 billion and leaving 170,000 people at risk of homelessness again.
Everyone who would be affected is disabled, and many are 50 or older.

He wants to push us back to the 1930s, and then trap us there, by preventing us from electing another FDR.
This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.
