WATCH: Republicans just abruptly ended their own press conference on “keeping kids safe in schools” after being asked if they were going to address guns.
Families and survivors of school shootings are calling on us to do something about guns, and Republicans are just... ignoring them??
??? GOP Rep. Mary Franson says she's not worried about climate change because it's not in the Bible: "If you've read the Good Book, you know how it ends, and it's not with climate change."
How can we expect Republicans to do serious work when they're so proud about ignoring science?
While you're working harder than ever, Republican leaders are excited about new ways to replace you.
Three panel graphic featuring images of missiles being launches, President Donald Trump sitting at a table, and an image of President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and Vice President JD Vance receiving the bodies of deceased Americans from the Middle East. First panel, text reads: "$5,600,000,000+ U.S. taxpayer dollars spent in 2 days." Second panel, text reads: "140 wounded, confirmed by Pentagon." Third panel, text reads: "7 Americans dead. Trump: "That's the way it is."
The cost of Trump's war on Iran.

Thank you to @stephenrodrick.bsky.social at Rolling Stone for telling the human story of ICE in Shakopee with such compassion, integrity, and care.

The "residential protesting" bill is being sold as a response to protesters targeting the homes of specific people, despite its very broad language. But I had fun watching DFL reps gently poke at Walter Hudson for half an hour until he admitted his problem is with protesting in general.
Update on this - still running, and today I'm pleased to announce my running mate.
Deb Ford has been SD61 DFL Treasurer for the past nine years. She's been one of the driving forces behind SD61, and was the mastermind behind the "Taste the Trifecta" cookbook fundraiser. (1/3)
The ICE surge in Minnesota isn’t over — it just moved outside of the Metro.
ICE agents are still terrorizing innocent people in the suburbs. They’re targeting bus stops and hospitals and parks and being more deceptive than ever.
This isn’t over until ICE is out of the ENTIRE state.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
Let's be clear: ICE is not just causing chaos in Minnesota's metro area. From Fergus Falls to Rochester to Mankato, ICE is terrorizing communities all across the state.
Our whole state will be safer and better off once ICE gets out.
Proud to stand w/ @usprogressives.bsky.social leaders today to announce that we will oppose all funding for Trump’s DHS until there are significant reforms enacted to ensure what happened last week in Minneapolis never happens again.
We will keep fighting for truth, accountability, and justice.

Leave our breweries alone.
Many lessons to take from Tuesday. I believe one should be that neither "side" is going away and we need to find a way to come together despite very real differences.
No one is going to come and save us, it's hard work that Minneapolis DFLers are going to have to do ourselves.
Graphic kinda goes hard NGL
Celebratory graphic of Zohran Mamdani that reads "Zohran Mamdani Wins New York Mayor's Race." The background is a photo of Mamdani standing between yellow taxis.
New Yorkers have spoken and voted for change. Congrats Mayor-elect
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!
Up bright and early to vote this morning! Still feels a bit odd to fill in a bubble next to my name...
Get out and vote for me and the rest of the DFL/Labor park baord slate!
Also: voter #63 for 13-4 at 8am.
I just cast my vote – it was a run but very surreal experience to vote for myself for the first time.
If you haven’t voted yet, please get out there before polls close today at 8 pm. Today we get to choose the Minneapolis we deserve.

Unbelievable: the Trump Administration is using the government shutdown to punish Minnesotans and raise our energy bills.
The reckless cancelation of these projects is going to cost thousands of good-paying jobs and harm communities across the state.
Didn't Jacob Frey run his first mayoral race based on ending homelessness? All of us deserve better.
Kudos to the Strib’s Eric Roper for trying to make up for his own news org’s political desk by actually covering Dewayne Davis as a mayoral candidate in his own right. Davis’s positions aren’t all mine, but he has a real shot at bringing the city closer together. www.startribune.com/dewayne-davi...
I'm incredibly excited to announce that we've been endorsed by @ilhanmn.bsky.social!!! Having the support of one of our nations strongest progressive voices is deeply moving. Onward to November!

Representative Agabje has been one of the most steadfast and effective advocates for tenant's rights in the State House. Absolutely zero coincidence that's who the Mayor's allies target.
This Labor Day, I want to celebrate our city’s unions and to thank the workers that make our city run. We deserve a Mayor who will put people before profits every time.
Happy Labor Day!
Sharing some good news amidst all the bad.
Wealthy corporations tried to sue to overturn Minnesota's nation-leading PFAS ban-and they lost.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do.
Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
We are the only country on earth where children regularly get shot in school and people are shot in their place of worship. It *doesn’t* have to be this way. Gun violence in America is a policy choice and I’m ready to make a different one. Let’s end gun violence.
- Harry Truman, 1952
