Flanagan campaign poll, and primary is 6 months away, but look at that message testing number at the end … ICE is a millstone for Craig, no matter what she says now.

From the New York Times: Representative James Comer, Republican of Kentucky and the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said on Fox News that President Trump should consider removing ICE agents from Minneapolis and sending them to another state. If "there's a
chance of losing more innocent lives or whatever," Comer said, "then maybe go to another city and let the people of Minneapolis
decide: Do we want to continue to have all of these illegals?"

It is tough here right now in Minneapolis but Greg Bovino crying to the paper about how he’s getting his ass handed to him by plant sale moms has been a real pick me up

In the face of their violence, let us remain peaceful, calm, and united. Minnesotans will not allow Trump and his thugs to turn our communities into war zones.

ICE has committed an unspeakable act of violence today, shooting and killing a woman in South Minneapolis.

These masked agents are out of control and creating real chaos in our state. ICE must leave Minnesota immediately - before more people are hurt.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

Scum.

"Can we finally put this BS to bed that Donald Trump is the 'peace president,' he is antiwar... this man bombed 7 countries last year... the US has no authority to do what it did on Saturday. We are not the world's police force."

I asked @peggyflanagan.bsky.social how she responds to the talking point that Democrats don’t care about marginalized communities.

This is what she said.

Beef prices are at record highs, and industry experts say could stay that way into 2026 and beyond.

Ground beef averaged $6.12 a pound in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to federal data released this week.

Steak prices jumped 8% year-over-year, per the latest Consumer Price Index.

Republicans' budget bill is emblematic of more than Donald Trump's cruelty.

It's the product of a broken Washington that values blind partisanship and corporate dollars over people. Things won't change unless we change who we send there - and how we fund their campaigns.

Melissa Hortman was a leader’s leader. I watched her do the right thing over and over again.

I’m so glad people are getting a chance to know a little something about our friend Melissa.

What an absolute honor and joy to have been named Twin Cities Pride Ally of the Year! 

Right now, LGBTQ2S+ community is under attack.

We need to know that love wins - but we also need to show up to protect each other. In the Senate, I will fight everyday for our LGBTQ2S+ neighbors.
