My condolences go out to MN Rep Melissa Hortman, MN Sen John Hoffman, their families, and all those grieving this heinous act of violence. When we seek elected office, we agree to make various sacrifices. However, safety in one's own home is not a sacrifice that anyone should be required to make.
Suspect named in targeted shootings of Minnesota lawmakers
A former Minnesota House speaker and her husband were killed and a state senator and his wife were wounded in targeted shootings Saturday at their homes near Minneapolis, officials said.

BAD BILL ALERT: Senate Republicans have waited literally 'til the 11th hour to unleash HB 127, which, if passed, would ban DEI programs and initiatives in schools.
The bill initially offered teachers more sick leave days. Republicans deleted that part.

Senate Republicans have waited until the Gold Dome is virtually clear of advocates and the public... to throw the anti-DEI bill back up for a vote. 10:30 at night, after 12+ hours on the floor.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker for your incredible act last night into this morning as you stand up for all of us. Thank you for using your voice and the tools you have to make a difference.

So excited to see this bill move forward in the Senate. This issue is one I'm deeply passionate about, and the folks at @gfadp.bsky.social are one of the reasons I ran for office.
The GA Senate is set to vote on HB 123 on Monday! If it passed, the House will vote on whether to adopt the Senate version and send it to the governor’s desk for signature into law. #gapol

GOOD BILL PASSED: SB 170 from @kimforgeorgia.bsky.social requires the Department of Community Health to establish a grant program to fund rural hospitals in purchasing and installing backup generators to ensure continued operation during a state of emergency.

#GaPol senators are really on a roll today. After stripping funding for kids in poverty from the budget, they just stripped ( #HB127) which would increase accumulated leave for teachers to replace it with a broad sweeping DEI Ban #SB120 which would defund schools and universities across the state.

Senate Committee on Education & Youth.... Anti-DEI bill has been shoved in a different bill. This committee hearing is a total shame. Not letting the public talk, limiting Democrat committee members from asking questions..

While we've been fighting tooth and nail on the state level... Congressional Dems held the line today and successfully defeated an anti-trans bill. Your calls and messages TRULY matter- both before AND after a vote (as she posts later- a little thanks goes a long way).
folks, there’s good news for a change.
that anti-trans executive order sports ban won’t be a law this week; they didn’t get closer to defining trans people out of legal existence or trans women as men under the law.
this matters.
no democrats broke ranks.
thank you to everyone who called. 💜🏳️⚧️

My thoughts on today's floor vote on SB30, which bans puberty blockers for our trans youth.
We will keep fighting for the lives of ALL Georgians.

@kimforgeorgia.bsky.social “trans people will not silently disappear. In fact, there will come a day when trans folks, queer people, black and brown people, incarcerated people, all those who Republicans have deemed unworthy, will sit in the halls of power in this body and in this chamber.”
