Couldn’t be a clearer rebuke of Trump!

Who’s ready for 2026 to do it again?

Lisa Demuth’s top priorities last session:

- Cutting paid family leave
- Cutting earned sick time
- Taking health care coverage away

She’s defended Trump’s disastrous Medicaid cuts.

Trump and Demuth will make your costs go up and your health care more expensive.

440,000 in MN rely on SNAP food benefits, including nearly 1 in 3 Kindergarteners.

Thanks to @GovTimWalz for the quick action of moving $4M to help.

But that's only a bandaid if the shutdown continues. MN needs Trump and the GOP to get back to work.

Trump tearing down the East Wing is the perfect summary of his administration.

- Ignoring the law
- Lying to the public
- All about ego
- Paid for by his oligarch buddies

The DFL special session offer includes taking meaningful action on guns.

Eliminating weapons of war and high capacity magazines will make MN safer.

Is the GOP willing to take the vote and show MN where they stand?

Democrats are ready to act and Minnesotans want action.

🚨BIG NEWS:🚨

Minnesota Democrats just unveiled our proposal for a possible special session. Our plan would:

✅Ban assault weapons
✅Ban high-capacity magazines
✅Ban binary triggers
✅Implement 'safe storage' rules
✅Ban untraceable 'ghost guns'
✅Strengthen MN's red flag law

Gun violence prevention works. MN’s red flag law is saving lives.

So will banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines. We are not powerless - we have the tools to protect Minnesotans and must.

A state law has prevented school and workplace shootings, but enforcement is inconsistent
Public records show that the state’s red flag gun law has helped law enforcement confiscate guns from people with violent plans. Some counties, though, have rarely or never used it, raising worry abou...

The leading cause of death for kids is guns.

Assault rifles are responsible for 85% of mass shooting deaths.

Today I joined community leaders to call for bans on assault weapons and high capacity magazines.

Kids lives come first.

Heartbroken for the families, teachers, and community of Annunciation School in Minneapolis.

Our country has a gun violence epidemic. We must act.

New Trump Tariffs = higher costs for Minnesotans

$2,400 more for a family each year

Minnesotans need help to bring down costs, not pointless trade wars

The Trump/GOP Medicaid cuts will kick 140,000 Minnesotans off health care.

MN GOP says this is about eligibility.

Wrong. The whole point is to drown eligible Minnesotans in paperwork so they fall through the cracks and lose care.

Why? To pay for tax cuts for the rich.

The science has been clear for decades: climate change is real, manmade, and hurts human health.

Yet Trump's EPA is attacking science and making the climate threat worse.

This will mean more Minnesotans at risk of harm from pollution, storms, and disease.
July 29, 2025 at 10:22 PM
250,000 Minnesotans kicked off health care

28% higher energy bills

More hungry kids

All for billionaire tax breaks

This ugly bill is devastating to Minnesotans just trying to get by, and a huge handout to the richest among us.
July 3, 2025 at 9:09 PM
The GOP is set to pass the largest upward wealth transfer in US history.

To funnel tax cuts to billionaires, they:

- kick 14 million off health insurance
- deny food assistance to millions
- gut clean energy investments

It's the most unethical budget I've ever seen.

This year, DFLers balanced the state budget and blocked the GOP from rolling back laws that make Minnesota a great place to live, work, and raise a family. We'll continue fighting for hardworking Minnesotans – because you deserve a fair shot to build a better life.

The shameful GOP budget bill is a huge wealth transfer to the richest among us.

Largest Medicaid cuts in history.

Decimating climate investments.

Cutting hunger assistance.

All to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

Trump is the least popular president ever at the 100 day mark - only 39% approval.

Turns out economic chaos, government mismanagement, and slashing health care are deeply unpopular. 🤷‍♂️

Powerful town hall last night with @repilhan.bsky.social Heard directly the deep concerns about cuts to Medicaid and the attack on federal workers.

Hundreds turned out in Moorhead to raise their voices about the impact federal cuts are having on veterans, mental health services, schools and more.

Folks were fired up and ready to fight back!
