My statement regarding the Republicans, their YouTuber, threats to childcare, kids and parents who need to work for a living.

Demuth brought this guy and his creepy tactics to MN childcare centers. To a community still reeling from a horrific school shooting. Her lack of judgement is jeopardizing childcare for countless Minnesota families.

Demuth: GOP caucus directed YouTuber to Minnesota. A professor explains why it went viral
University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley says the new viral video is flashy, but absent of facts to back up its claims — and its lack of transparency could be considered deceptive.

Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune, & Republican members of Congress left town for the holiday, their work incomplete and their health coverage intact.

Their hard working constituents get big new health care bills for 2026 and the wealthiest Americans get a big tax break.

Opinion | Trump’s anti-Somali rhetoric is repugnant. Minnesota leaders’ silence is worse.
Rep. Tom Emmer and House Speaker Lisa Demuth know the truth about their Somali constituents. But in today’s GOP, they are trading courage for political survival, Mukhtar M. Ibrahim writes.

The GOP is choosing to end the subsidies offsetting rising health insurance rates. Trump and his GOP are jacking up your rates.

No wonder Trump is mocking affordability.

When we ban weapons of war in MN it’ll be students, moms, grandparents, educators and more, organizing and building change together. Thanks to the aptly named Courageous Resistance class at St Olaf for digging into the work of change.
