Today I announced my 2025 budget – a balanced, fiscally responsible plan to set Minnesota up for success.
We're making responsible cuts to spending, proposing a tax cut, and protecting the investments we've made to make Minnesota the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

This is most dramatic—and unnecessary—collapse of a vital institution I can recall. Short-term responsibility seems to lie w/ Will Lewis. Long-term it's all Bezos.

The Laken Riley Act allows for the indefinite detention of any immigrant even SUSPECTED of theft.
It also enables cops to detain citizens who look like immigrants until they can prove their citizenship.
Senate Dems need to say #NoRacialProfilingLaws and vote against this bill.

Don't be fooled: The Laken Riley Act is "Show Me Your Papers" 2.0, supercharged & nationwide. It's a blueprint for turning America into a police state where anyone can be detained on suspicion alone. This isn't just unconstitutional—it's un-American.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.
It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

RFK, Jr. claimed his anti-vax work was a labor of love that cost him friendships. He said he’d never made money from it. But now he admits he made (checks notes) $1.2 million from it. How do you “forget” about that much money?
