When Washington won't lead, Minnesota will.
Thanks to our state's new Paid Family & Medical Leave Program that DFLers passed into law, workers will no longer have to choose between a paycheck from work and taking time to care for a newborn baby, a loved one, or themselves.

This morning, House DFLers proudly stood with thousands of Minnesotans to protest the unlawful, immoral, and inhumane actions of ICE.

It is shameful that Republicans are failing to extend ACA health care subsidies.
Trump and the GOP are raising costs for everyone and leaving Minnesotans behind.
DFlers are fighting for a better system; Republicans are trying to make a broken system even worse.

It's been six months since we lost Mark and Melissa Hortman. We miss them both so much. This is a lovely tribute to our leader, our Speaker, and our dear friend.
Melissa devoted her life to making Minnesota a better place for anyone and everyone. We will never stop working to honor her legacy.

Minnesotans are asking us to do something about gun violence. We're proud to stand with Governor Walz as he signs executive actions to protect our communities. Now it's time for Republicans to listen to Minnesotans and work with us to pass commonsense gun safety legislation.

Donald Trump has brought his lawlessness to Minnesota, sending ICE agents here to divide and terrorize our communities.
But House DFLers will always stand with our neighbors.

The pure lack of action from the new House Fraud Committee has proven Republicans are unserious about tackling the problem of fraud. Rather than using the issue solely for political theater, Republicans should join us in working to deliver real solutions.
Minnesota House fraud committee so far more spotlight than stoplight
Over the course of 14 meetings the Republican-controlled House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee successfully focused attention on fraud that seems to pervade several state agencies. However, there’s no evidence the committee has stopped any fraud since its first meeting in February of 2025.

ICE is arresting American citizens based on the color of their skin.
This isn’t about public safety — ICE is making us less safe. This is chaos. It is cruelty. And it is has to end.

Groceries, healthcare, electricity, and now property taxes. Donald Trump is making everything more expensive; his Big Ugly Bill is causing *every single county* in MN to raise property taxes.

Federal SNAP, Medicaid changes force Minnesota counties to raise property taxes
The Blue Earth County Board votes next week on a proposed property tax increase that officials say is needed to pay for the rising costs of administering SNAP, Medicaid and other federal programs that federal legislation shifts onto local governments.

Yesterday's state budget forecast highlights the clear theme of Donald Trump's economy: everything that should be going up is going down, and everything that should be going down is going up.
Wage growth for working families is slipping, but it's never been a better time to be a billionaire.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening in Minnesota: Donald Trump is overwhelmingly unpopular, his disastrous agenda is raising prices, and he has no plan or solution to make life better. So he's trying to distract us by shifting the blame *yet again*, this time to our Somali neighbors. (1/2)

The GOP's war on affordable health care is causing already high costs to skyrocket. If Congress lets ACA tax credits expire, Minnesotans in the private market will see an average premium hike of $3,396 — and up to $25,000 in the worst cases. That's unacceptable.
