I’ve worked closely with these fine legislators for many years. Archie and I are grateful for the incredible response of law enforcement and hope that everyone will be safe today.

This morning Minnesota woke up to news of a brutal act of violence targeting public servants. I am heartbroken to learn that our Speaker Melissa Hortman, Sen. John Hoffman and their spouses have been shot.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start
Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today.
And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.

Let’s call this what it is: A closed-door meeting where Republicans huddle up and find out how they can give boatloads of our money to the richest among us and leave pennies for everyone else.
They’ll pay for it by defunding Medicaid, which ~40% of kids rely on. The villains in any story book.

How far have we fallen as a country that we are siding with Russia and North Korea to vote against condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine?
Today, the US stood with Russia and North Korea — and against our allies — in voting against a UN resolution to condemn Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Let that sink in.
This is a betrayal of the Ukrainian people, our allies, our interests and those who aspire for freedom.
