Trump administration blocks NIH from awarding any research grants and contracts The order applies to the entirety of new and, possibly, ongoing research grant dollars that go to universities and academic medical centers.

I’m appalled…yet again…at the Trump administration’s assault on important health research.

“This isn’t something we will just – I believe the quote is, ‘They’ll get over it.’ You don’t get over watching your loved ones suffer and die in front of you,” said Rennicke. “That’s what will be happening to these families.”

Today we had another wonderful Eagan July 4th parade. It was much needed after the tragedies in MN and the troubling actions by our federal government.

Thanks to the Eagan Fun Fest team for a safe, fun, and positive experience! It was hot but, hey, it didn’t rain this year!

Taking a pause, feeling grief for the Hortman’s, gratitude that the Hoffman’s are recovering, and admiring flowers on a beautiful summer day in Melissa’s honor.

Today is a day of grief. The manhunt is over; great gratitude to law enforcement.

Now the deep reality of the atrocity and the loss is setting in. For today, remember to love your people, approach the world with kindness, and pursue the common good. I appreciate all of your thoughts and support.

Opinion | Melissa Hortman’s legacy is a ‘Minnesota Miracle’ The slain politician delivered on an astonishing number of progressive goals in a short period.

This is the Speaker Hortman I know and will miss profoundly. Thank you to @ejdionne.bsky.social for this powerful and moving column.

Health secretary RFK Jr. abruptly fires CDC vaccine advisory panel Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken the extraordinary step of firing the expert panel that advises the CDC.

Another day, another huge step backward for public health.

Perverse Federal budget priorities send a strong message about this anti-science, anti-people Trump administration.

Simply chilling.

The Trump Administration Said These Aid Programs Saved Lives. It Canceled Them Anyway. The axing of some 10,000 programs has consigned untold numbers of children and refugees to death, officials say. Documents and interviews reveal that the State Department appears to have made the cuts...

I’m grieving over this heartless act by our purported leaders. We must all use our voices and take action, including seeing how truly monstrous the Trump administration is. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

All Minnesotans should demand that their representatives—Democratic or Republican—honor the will of the voters.

Data matters! Beware those who wish to instill groundless fear.

Would @petehegseth.bsky.social also establish a Division of Copy Editing if confirmed? #CantMakeItUp

Notice where the power will reside.

Good grief. They’re telling stories all right. So done with them.

I’m calling on GOP Lead Lisa Demuth and the GOP caucus to accept this very fair offer.

@mnhousedfl.bsky.social Stop validating the GOP's unlawful House events. Sec. of State Simon adjourned session on Jan 14 after finding there was not a 68-member quorum needed to conduct House business. Their sham sessions have no legal authority and their actions have no legal effect.

What Republicans are doing is an unlawful sham with no legal authority. Sec. of State Simon adjourned session on Jan 14 after finding there was not a 68-member quorum needed to conduct House business. All that has happened since is fraudulent; don't validate by attending these hearings.

This floor session was an unlawful sham by the GOP with no legal authority. Sec. of State Simon adjourned session on Jan 14 after finding there was not a 68-member quorum needed to conduct House business. All that has happened since then and is being challenged in the Supreme Court.

Minnesota House DFL sues GOP over alleged 'unconstitutional sham session' GOP leaders said there is precedent for their actions, and look forward to "defending the House from this attack."

Democrats have filed a lawsuit with the Minnesota Supreme Court to invalidate Republicans’ unlawful, unconstitutional actions. Their sham sessions have no legal authority, and the actions they are taking have no legal effect. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Video from today's press conference. Minnesotans voted for a tied House, but Republicans are preparing to seize control through an illegitimate power grab. We need a power-sharing agreement that honors the will of the voters. #mnleg www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV_G...

That Republicans would publicly flout our state Constitution and laws on the anniversary of the January 6th attacks is particularly galling.

DFLers have worked in good faith and we expect Republicans to do likewise. If they don’t, we stand ready to use every tool at our disposal. #mnleg (3/)
