First 8 days of this #mnleg session have felt like 8 weeks. SUCH an election year.

The Athletic reports that Team USA GM Bill Guerin was who invited FBI Director Kash Patel into the locker room for the celebration

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

Just a little ominous.

I think Matt Little is going to have a REALLY strong showing down here in #CD2 when all the straw poll results get added up. Go Matt! #CaucusNight #DFL

Truly my new personal political litmus test.

He wasn't a domestic terrorist. A domestic terrorist was the Oklahoma City bomber. This was a VA nurse looking out for his neighbors.

A tweet from Republican congressman Tom emmer thanking his Minnesota congressional colleagues including democratic senate candidate Angie Craig for helping to pass the Laken Riley act a year ago today.

A brutal reminder for Minnesotans.

LFG 🤘 #PatientsBeforeProfits

Wild move, even for Jacob Frey, to hold off on having MPD teargas the crowd until the press conference is ready to roll.

@angiecraigmn.bsky.social was the ONLY Minnesota Democrat to vote for the Laken Riley Act. The only one to vote to praise ICE.

Even today, with ICE in our streets, she stands by her pro-Trump votes.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.

This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

ICE brandishing, not legal fucking cowards .

Kind of feels like maybe next session is finally the time for #mnleg to talk about privatization and why Minnesota has, for so very long, decided to outsource such a plethora of services that could be administered by local or state government, with greater oversight, and by using union workers!

A reminder that CBS is owned by Paramount.

Paramount’s CEO is David Ellison.

David’s father Larry Ellison is the third-richest person on Earth and a major Trump donor.

“Now is not the time” has been the mantra of the Democratic Party elite for literally the entire time I’ve been alive - and the prominence of that mantra has coincided with Dems destroying their New Deal coalition, losing power, and handing the government over to MAGA

why is it every time I see some crypto nft ai scam fuck on tv it's because they're talking to a dumbfounded jimmy fallon going "whoaa that's crazy"

Looked it up, both United and Anthem (now called Elevance) cover more than 44m people. Have they driven down those prices by sheer might Rand? Idiot.

Won’t be crossing the Starbucks picket line for a plastic bear cup…. Cmon people 🤦‍♀️

Just gonna say it: voting yes on the Laken Riley Act but then going on to post about how you oppose what ICE is doing to refugee communities in your state is….disgusting-level pandering.

This was disgusting

Graphic of a statement from the St. Paul PD Chief, which reads: “ON NOVEMBER 25, 2025, FEDERAL AGENTS WERE WORKING A DETAIL ON THE 600 BLOCK OF ROSE AVENUE IN SAINT PAUL. WHEN THE FEDERAL PERIMETER WAS BROKEN BY PROTESTORS, SAINT PAUL POLICE OFFICERS WERE CALLED TO ASSIST. THE STREET WAS COMPROMISED WITH FOOT AND VEHICLE TRAFFIC, AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION WAS UNFOLDING. SAINT PAUL POLICE OFFICERS STOOD BETWEEN PROTESTORS AND FEDERAL AGENTS, SO PROTESTORS COULD EXPRESS THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND FEDERAL AGENTS COULD COMPLETE THEIR LEGAL OBJECTIVES.”

St. Paul Police going from “we didn’t help ICE” to “we were called to assist” the feds in less than 24 hours. Ridiculous.

Schumer may have voted no but people are tired of the DC dance.

✅ The 8 senators admit they kept him in the loop
✅ The 8 senators that voted yes are not up for reelection
✅ His No. 2 voted yes

We need a new politics with new faces for working people.

Emily Wilkins post on X: "Kaine said while only 8 D's voted with R's, more wanted to see the shutdown end. " I can tell you this, there were a lot more than 8 that were really happy that the 8 of us voted them the way we did." "But I'm not going to put words in anybody's mouth.""

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators.

If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

This capitulation to Trump is nothing short of a betrayal to the Americans who will lose their healthcare as prices skyrocket. Since we're getting nothing else out of this travesty, we sure as shit better get a new minority leader.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?
