Pushback against 👎another bad Sec of Homeland Security

Get basic competence

Not Noem; Not Mullin

Who else?

Read nonfiction, read fiction, read broadly and deeply and capriciously. Support authors who know what they’re doing and talking about.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Russia is helping Iran attack America, and Ukraine is helping America defend itself from Russia and Iran.

It is time to renew our support for Ukraine and Europe, and stop Trump's ongoing appeasement of Putin. Congress must now revive the Russia sanctions bill, get serious here.

How Stand Up For Science is trying to 'pull every lever' to win over the public Stand Up For Science has become a formal organization and adopted a new strategy that's more confrontational with grassroots tactics

Real change takes a movement that goes into the public square, and as @cdelawalla.bsky.social explains, the public square has expanded & requires moving beyond business-as-usual engagement. More on @standupforscience.bsky.social and its strategic calculus:

Bad 🔴gop federal policy
hurts local county & city

Will state #Mnleg help offset huge costs?

MN cities & counties have real costs from federal policy decisions. Police overtime, administrative expenses, stretched budgets. Communities shouldn't be financially punished for fed. decisions they don't control. Today’s bill provides limited state grants to minimize these costs to MN localities.

Folks were fired up at DFL conventions in Woodbury and Maple Grove on Saturday.

I'm so grateful to everyone who volunteered their time and effort. This process is how Minnesota makes its voice heard - and it matters.

.@andysmithmn.bsky.social is a small business owner, a cat dad, and a champion for Rochester in the State House.

Rep. Smith is always fighting to make sure working folks are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. I'm honored to have earned his endorsement.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Just because you got fired, Minnesotans won’t forget what you did to our neighbors. We will continue to fight for you to be held accountable.

Olson: Even as shooting survivors share heartbreaking testimony, the GOP remains unmoved Annunciation families have trekked repeatedly to the Capitol to lobby for gun restrictions. Their words are falling on deaf ears, columnist Rochelle Olson writes.

Minnesotans are resolved to protect our children.

It’s time for Republican legislators to step up.
