Thank you @raskin.house.gov. This rhetoric needs to stop. We are still grieving the loss of Melissa, Mark and Gilbert in MN and this just makes it so much worse.
I know you’re new to Congress, Mr. Fine, but we don’t call our colleagues terrorists here. It just makes you look idiotic. At a time when MN Democrats have been targeted for assassination by a right-wing extremist, your rhetoric is seriously dangerous. Apologize now.

After a partially matched transplant, #GVHD can result. Previously, partially matched donors caused more GVHD than fully matched donors in cancer patients. A new approach, using cyclophosphamide, can prevent most GVHD. Read more: cibmtr.org/Files/Patien...

A truly moving & brave statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark:
"The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." 💔😔
