Unions are a big part of why Minnesota just ranked in the top 5 states for quality of life.

That's why I’ll always stand up for their collective bargaining rights, safe working conditions, apprenticeship programs, fair wages, and affordable health care.

“The passing of our colleague Bruce Anderson is a sad loss for the Senate. Senator Anderson’s expertise gained through military service and background in agriculture made him a great champion for farmers, veterans and service members at the Capitol. We will have his family and friends in our hearts.” “I served with Bruce in both the House and Senate, and will fondly remember him for the way he approached this work and treated his colleagues,” said Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy. “He was a decent, kind colleague, and a dedicated family man, and I feel fortunate to have known and worked with him.” “I’m deeply saddened by the passing of my friend and colleague, Senator Bruce Anderson,” said Senator Aric Putnam. “As a U.S. Navy veteran and a longtime member of the Minnesota Legislature, Bruce was a steady, principled voice in our work as elected officials. I had the honor of working with him on agriculture and veterans issues, where his dedication and humility stood out. His kindness and deep commitment to service will be missed by all of us in the Senate and by the people of Minnesota.”

On behalf of the Senate DFL Caucus, Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy and Senator Aric Putnam released the following statement today on the passing of Senator Bruce Anderson.

Community bail funds face backlash from GOP lawmakers after a 2020 surge in popularity Bail Funds — where community members donate money to help others post bail — exploded in popularity after the 2020 protests against police brutality.

Colbert's cancellation is a dark warning CBS's decision marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large.

Let’s be clear: This is political censorship. Just as CBS’ parent company handed Trump $16 million to settle a spurious lawsuit, this decision is about preemptively bowing to a regime that demands obedience.

We stand with Stephen Colbert and every voice that Trump wants silenced.

Call us biased, but we wouldn't trust a Republican's promises after seeing how this year has played out. Any time a Republican wants to "restore" something, they mean make it less inclusive, accessible, or affordable for everyone but their GOP buddies.

The Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot Amir Locke during a no-knock raid in 2022 is the instructor responsible for leading the police department’s use-of-force training.

Last night, Republicans blocked the Epstein files from being released. They thought you weren’t paying attention.

Trump keeps asking why YOU still care about this. It’s deflection. Why does HE care so much about covering the files up?

The Supreme Court cut 1,000+ Ed. Dept. jobs because the President said so. As a teacher of 19 years, I know this will hurt students. We should be bringing more talented staff into education, so that students who walk our public school halls can thrive in the classroom and beyond.

Donald Trump is dismantling the Department of Education, and this Supreme Court is letting him do it. Minnesota teachers, students, and their families will feel the devastating impacts of these cuts. It's shameful and wrong.

Firing everyone who could tell you what you're doing is unethical or illegal does not make what you're doing ethical or legal.
