Trump is out of touch. He thinks the economy is great cause that’s what his billionaire buddies tell him. It’s time to change the system so it works well for all.
In MN, you should be able to afford your life on an average salary, but right now, it’s becoming harder than ever to make ends meet.
My response to one of my Republican colleagues today on the Energy Committee, who was suggesting we should not address climate change because Minnesota’s impact on global climate change would be very small.

Great to see this first in the country law I got passed in 2024 get going! It was initiated by a ? from constituent Jim Nicholson.

Another ICE killing of a peaceful observer in Minnesota. ICE needs to leave now. #ICEout
Yesterday, it got so bad, teachers had to close blinds so kids didn’t have to witness ICE activity directly across the street.
ICE needs to stay away from our schools.
And, how is it ok, regardless of your views on immigration policy, that this is happening in the United States?
I said a few words yesterday at a rally organized by elementary school parents. ICE has been staging all around the school in my MN community, terrorizing families and students. We’ve seen kids crying in fear as they’re getting to or leaving school. #ICEout
Patty is a friend of mine who was taken yesterday by ICE. This is her firsthand account.

Thanks @emmagreenman.bsky.social for this op-ed. We can’t forget how horrific Jan 6th was and how our representative democracy depends on us standing together.

If you thought Trump couldn’t go any lower, you would have been wrong.
Formal announcement that I'm running for re-election!

My heart goes out to all those impacted. And to all of those in our community in St. Louis Park and everywhere who are experiencing fear because of these terrible events.
On top of the terrorizing of our Somali and immigrant communities in MN, I am devastated to hear about the shooting at Brown, and the anti-semitic mass shooting in Australia on the first day of Hanukkah.
Many of my @mnhousedfl.bsky.social colleagues and I participated in this video.
DM me and I can get you connected to our SLP ICE Watchers group.
Yes - we've just created one. We have a Signal group - send folks to me and I can get them connected.
The median income in MN can’t afford a median home.
We need make it easier to build homes close to where people work and want to live. And prevent out of state speculators from driving up prices.
btw - how about fixing healthcare - a huge drag on income!

I'm one of the 86. Cutting off SNAP when it is completely unnecessary is cruel. The contingency funds should be used.
It is cruel and unnecessary for #SNAP benefits to stop, even with a shutdown.
Why is Trump in Asia now?
Why does Speaker Johnson NOT have the House in session to negotiate an end to the shutdown?

The U.S. was primed to develop “clean energy economies of scale more than three decades ago,” writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.
Instead, it “doubled down as a petrostate after its fossil fuel industry fraudulently polarized a substantial portion of its population against climate action.”
Fantastic Energy Innovation Summit yesterday! The amount of job-generating #CleanEnergy innovation happening in MN is so exciting. Great job Grid Catalyst!
Big oil should pay for making life more expensive in Minnesota. My op-ed in @minnpost.bsky.social today.

“It is time to be bold and brave…” on climate change and clean energy. @freshenergy.bsky.social CEO Margaret Cherne-Hendrick.
Couldn’t agree more!
Thrilled to be recognized my MN Housing Partnership for housing policy leadership.
There is so much more work to do so that all Minnesotans can have a home they can afford in a place where they want to live.
Just tagged along for an hour with @metrotransitmn.bsky.social TRIP agents, who are doing fantastic work improving safety and the overall experience for transit customers. They check fares, answer questions, check stations, and help people get where they want to go.
I signed onto this statement in solidarity with Teamsters Local 320 and Farm Aid because the farm and labor movements are inseparable. We’re calling on the Univ of MN to return to the bargaining table in good faith. Let’s come together and reach a result that respects our workers and our farmers.
Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
Such a hard thing to do, but we have to move forward and I’m so excited to be doing it with Zack’s leadership.
On Labor Day, I’m proud to stand with working families, not the ultrawealthy. The richest 1% of Minnesotans own nearly a THIRD of the state’s wealth. And they just got a massive tax cut from Trump and the GOP. We need an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthiest few.
I am so deeply saddened by the horrific act of violence today in Minneapolis. My heart goes out to all those impacted.
I am posting the statement from the Minneapolis delegation - we stand with you.
