“The President’s suggestion that lawmakers should face death for upholding the rule of law is not political rhetoric — it’s an authoritarian threat that shatters every democratic norm. No leader in a functioning democracy invokes death as punishment for dissent.” Full statement: bit.ly/4icmmLn

SNAP funding expires this weekend and Minnesota steps up to partially fill in the gap. Our state's food shelves keep kids and families fed during tough times. But Bill Lieske has voted against funding for our food shelves. Who's he helping? I'm running to make sure our money is spent on our people.

It is so important for the folks who represent us to have hard conversations. Showing up matters, especially when treating others with care and respect is on the agenda! Thanks Kristi Pursell 4 MN House for being there for the people.

My grand daughter says it makes her sad when she has to stay inside when there is wildfire smoke. Those days never happened for me or my daughter when we were kids.

Will MN Tennessen law hold?
Reminder that the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Minnesota and would hear any appeal first, has only one Democrat-appointed judge. You all know about the Supreme Court. Hopefully they draw a fair trial judge.
The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon over his refusal to provide the federal government with a copy of the state’s voter registration list.

Arresting interpreters who helped our service members and were promised sanctuary is dishonorable and cruel. History will not be kind. #IceRaids
This interpreter saved lives in Afghanistan and fled when he had a target on his back from the Taliban. His brother was granted asylum a few months ago with nearly identical documentation. ICE is fulfilling quotas, humanity be damned

69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too.
Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered.
This is insane!
