Too many Minnesotans have lost money to subscriptions they thought they canceled or didn’t realize they signed up for in the first place, and that’s unacceptable. I’m suing Uber to stop these predatory business practices and force them to do right by the people of Minnesota.

America will never ban all guns, but everyone can agree that assault-rifles have no place in civilian hands. Start there. It's hard to kill dozens of people with a handgun, or shotgun, it's a difficult, tedious process, and some brave soul will probably tackle you before long.

About half of current ACA enrollees who are registered to vote said that if their overall health care expenses — copays, deductibles, & premiums — increased by $1,000 next year, it would have a "major impact" on whether they vote in next year's midterm elections or which party they support.
ACA shoppers face sticker shock as Congress dithers on health care

Australia didn’t ‘confiscate all guns’. That’s just a simplification for people who don’t read.
They reduced access, bought back weapons, tightened licensing… and mass shootings basically vanished.
