Ellison: "I've never been prouder to be a Minnesotan. I'm so proud of the people who helped their neighbors, who stood up for their First Amendment rights. I hope it's over and now it's a time to heal and put things back together again."

Congress is supposed to oversee DHS. I'll demand that Congress does its job and reins in this lawless agency.
Minnesotans deserve safety without fear.
When our communities are under attack, we donβt sit back β we organize and get to work.
Iβm ready for whatβs next and to continue serving as your Peopleβs Lawyer.
Read research by political scientists Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan which indicate that peaceful protests are most effective.

This is a tremendous relief and protects low-income families from having to choose between going to work to pay the bills and staying home to provide childcare.

Tonight at South High, caucus-goers showed theyβre pushing back against fear and division β organizing, setting priorities, and building power locally.
First stop: My neighborhood DFL caucus meeting at North High.
Caucuses are a place where everyday folks help decide what political parties stand for and who carries those values forward. Grateful to all those who showed up tonight to participate in democracy.
Iβm grateful to Judge Biery for helping to bring Liam Ramos and his father Adrian home.
But it is a sign of how far we are from the normal rule of law that a judge even had to issue a decision like this one.
Drawing on a theme offered by Abraham LincolnββWe the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitutionβ

Caucuses are one way we push back. Theyβre where neighbors come together, organize, and decide the future of our party and our state.
Talk about a split-screen moment.
Minnesotans are standing in the 9 below weather peacefully protesting for our very democracy. Trump is in a tuxedo, going to a ball, rolling around in luxury.
You tell me who the patriots are here.
Watched the live-stream. All the speeches were personal and heartwarming.
Thank you for being there and for speaking so well, Keith.
Iβm inspired by the stories of those who knew Alex and all who gathered last night at the vigil hosted by his union siblings with AFGE. Iβll carry his spirit forward by fighting for justice, compassion, and the world he believed in.
