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.
We are Minnesotans. And Minnesotans have each other’s backs.

Time to repeal Virginia's right to work law. Should be the first bill.
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Pope Francis was a true simple man of the people. He never forgot the full meaning of service to the less fortunate and the call of the gospels to love everyone. Peace upon his memory.

We just learned that Trump spent $40 million in taxpayer dollars to keep 400 migrants in Guantanamo for a month. For that amount of money you could pay more than 375 federal workers (at their average salary) for a full year.

The work of the CDC Division of HIV Prevention is essential and it is not something that can be covered by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program or by state budgets. If this funding is cut, the services it funds will not be replaced, meaning more people will contract HIV, more people will get sick, & die.

Ag committee, Republicans proposed a bill giving farmers (including the bill author) a $5 property tax credit/acre to allegedly promote water quality.
I asked the MN Ag Department if there’s any evidence in any state, anywhere, that the bill would improve water quality. His answer was one word: No.

'Unintended consequence' of free school lunch program could lose millions in funding for some districts
The issue is tied to what is called “compensatory revenue,” which is allocated to districts based on the number of low-income students enrolled there.
