Too many Minnesotans feel like the bottom could fall out at any moment. I know what that’s like.

My hardworking single mom relied on public schools, public housing, and Medicaid to get by.

That's why I'm running for Senate - to be a loud, clear voice for families like mine.

We are in dangerous times. My boss, fmr. Rep. Mike Honda who was incarcerated in an internment camp in WWII, had the foresight to work to repeal the Alien Sedition Act way back in 2010. Oped from Mike Honda and Ilhan Omar here:

Trump is now warping the same legal mechanism that led to Japanese American incarceration
Donald Trump just invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — and he isn’t even using it as the law was intended.

RIP to an extraordinary man and leader. The Democrats could use his populist wisdom now, and early commitment to an anti-poverty and low wage earner platform. It was an honor to know him.
