Smokie, an 8-week-old puppy, greets House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman during the Animal Humane Society’s Puppy Day at the Capitol March 17. The event for legislators and staff is an annual stress reliever as committee deadlines approach.

Rep. David Gottfried takes the oath of office Monday in the House Chamber. With the DFLer from Shoreview now seated after winning a special election last week, the House is officially tied with a 67-67 party split.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Chair Quam has called me “Representative Freitag” a couple times in committee, so I figured I might as well just roll with it. #mnleg

This is a policy of eradication and we know it now, and you will know it, too. In time.

Thank you to all the DFL house members for rejecting this bill.

Great to be interviewed by @mprnews.org about the importance of civility and bipartisan relationships to the health of the MN Legislature. To be clear - civility isn't about compromise. It's about communicating more effectively across the political divide. #mnleg www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...
In polarized times, these Minnesota legislators want to restore civility at the state Capitol
This year’s legislative session started with a lot of vitriol between DFLers and Republicans. But a bipartisan group of legislators is trying to get both sides to be more collaborative and civil.

Yesterday, House Republicans participated in a resolution recognizing Black History Month… only a few hours after advancing a bill to remove requirements that schools teach about Black history.

Just learned that *horses* are exempt from MN sales tax. Might draft a bill to repeal that. Give members a chance to vote Aye or..........Neigh. #mnleg

MN House GOPers just passed an amendment in Tax Committee that would cut Transportation funding in the TAA account for the 7 county metro area from 36% to 0%. Zero! For an area that constitutes 55% of our population!

It also completely cuts Meals on Wheels funding from the same account!

Life has been hard lately what with the whole ~federal government in shambles~ thing, so best to celebrate the happy, hopeful moments when we get them!

I finished my first semester of law school on the Dean’s List! 🥳

I plan to venture into Con Law to be part of stopping the fascists. Cheers! 🥂

I spent a lot of my life being represented by one of these two. Tiffany used to hop aboard the family pontoon when we took it down by the dam in Minocqua. (I’m thankful my family saw the light and no longer supports him.)

Seeing my home be so recklessly represented hurts. Selfish. Hypocrites.
Sean Duffy to Tom Tiffany

Wisconsin's 7th Congressional district consistently votes for "spending cuts" that hurt people instead of demanding the uber rich kick in their fair share.

Weird.

Brad Schimel says he has to buy new knee pads every few days with how much he is having to beg extreme far-right donors for money.

So we saved him a trip to Menards & dropped some off at WisGOP.
Enjoy, Brad!
