We are devastated by the targeted attack that took the lives of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also wounded. This act of political violence is a direct assault on our democracy. We stand in solidarity with the victims and their families.

We’re kicking off Pride Month at Bloomington Pride!

🚨 Legislative Lowdown

The 2025 session ended with a thud—leaving critical budget + policy work unfinished. Now, lawmakers are scrambling behind closed doors before a likely special session.

People are fleeing states like Idaho & Texas—not for jobs, but for safety. Reproductive rights, trans rights, and healthcare access are under attack. This is what internal displacement looks like in 2025.

Today, federal authorities arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan on felony charges for allegedly assisting an undocumented immigrant in evading ICE agents. This unprecedented move threatens judicial independence and due process.

Black Mamas have always been at the forefront of movements for justice, yet face some of the worst maternal mortality rates and overall health disparities.

Black Mamas deserve more than survival—they deserve to thrive.

Trump and his Republican majority are attacking people’s ability to get health care at every turn.

We need to put pressure on the Trump-Musk administration to fully fund research and treatments, NOT cut public health.

💜 #STIawareness #HIVawareness #WellnessWednesday #publichealth

In 2024:
❌ 38,000 Minnesotans accessed services through #TitleX across 13 clinics!

These services include things like cancer screenings, STI treatment, contraceptives, general wellness exams, and infertility treatments.

Freezing Title X is an attack on public health.

Let’s be clear: this is a coordinated, political attack on public health—and it will disproportionately harm women, LGBTQ+ patients, communities of color, and rural communities. Our Minnesota clinics remain open and ready to serve, but we need to fight back.

ICYMI: The Trump-Musk Administration has had a busy week gutting public health—and it’s only Wednesday.

US supreme court weighs restricting Medicaid payments to ‘defund’ Planned Parenthood In first abortion-related case since Trump win, court to consider clinics’ acceptance of low-income insurance

US supreme court weighs restricting Medicaid payments to ‘defund’ Planned Parenthood.

In first abortion-related case since Trump win, court to consider clinics’ acceptance of low-income insurance.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic (previously Kerr v. PP South Atlantic), a case that centers on South Carolina's attempt to kick Planned Parenthood out of its Medicaid program.

Arguments start at 10am ET; I'll be covering them live here.

Ending Title X funding in eight states is just the beginning—and gutting America’s family planning program is a means to an end.

The CDC Has Been Gutted Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

There is no other way to say this: Today is the day the CDC was essentially dissolved. What's left is a husk. People will die as a direct result.

FACT: You don't destroy the CDC unless you want people to die in large numbers.

38,000 Minnesotans benefitted from Title X funded healthcare services in 2024.

Let us be clear: this newest political stunt is a coordinated attack on public health.

#TransDayOfVisibility isn't just a celebration, it's a call to action for justice, compassion, and change.

We're proud to stand on the frontlines together in the fight for bodily autonomy and freedom.

Did you know that 1/3rd of our midwifes are set to retire in the next 5-10 years? Or that almost 20% of counties in Minnesota are classified as maternity deserts? We’re in the midst of a maternal health crisis, and it’s disproportionately impacting Black women and people from rural communities.

Georgia Republicans are considering a bill that would punish abortion patients as murderers—with women subject to the death penalty. But this was the headline at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

This is exactly what I mean when I talk about normalization

Minnesota Dept. of Health announces $226M in federal cuts and layoffs of around 200 employees State health officials held an all-staff meeting Wednesday to explain how the $226 million in cuts could impact the state healthcare system.

The Trump administration is taking away almost a quarter of a billion dollars of funding from the MN. Our public health infrastructure will be DECIMATED. 150 to 200 people will be laid off. As measles, TB, bird flu & other infectious diseases increase. Devastating, reprehensible & dangerous.

Great bill in the #mnleg this week: Medicaid Over Millionaires would create a new tax tier for earnings over $1million with a dynamic rate that would change based on the need to fill up the lack of federal funding for Minnesota's #Medicaid programs.
