DEMS WIN BIG IN IOWA: Democrat Renee Hardman wins IA State Senate SD-16 with 71.5%, a 27-point Dem overperformance from 2024. Harris won the district by 16. Hardman's victory blocks a GOP supermajority and makes history as the first Black woman elected to the Iowa Senate.

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive.
One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy.
Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

What I Saw at a Maternity Ward in Kenya After the U.S. Cut Off Food and Foreign Aid

“ICE Out of Minnesota!”

When I was 10 yo, I became obsessed with R&B videos on BET. I started my love of Prince, commencing w music from 1999. I saved my paper route money thinking I could buy a bus ticket to #Minneapolis and meet Prince. 30+ years later, we did a family move here and made a home in his old neighborhood.

I hope through my husband's campaign for Mayor, our city got to see the sides of him that inspire me. I wanted you to be inspired to become the City our residents so desperately need.
I hope that in response to his vision for #Minneapolis, you step up in serve one another in a new way.

When I started this campaign, I made a commitment to myself and to the people of this city that I would run with the values we share: honesty, integrity, transparency and care. I’m proud of the campaign that we’ve run, and I’m so thankful everyone who has held me to those values.
