Both @SenTinaSmith and @SenAmyKlobuchar have been clean energy champions while in the Senate. As both prepare for their futures outside DC, they have the opportunity to add another meaningful plank to their legacy on climate and affordability. Let’s get this done! 🔋⚡️☢️
Today, we're proud to formally endorse @SenatorHeinrich and @SenWhitehouse's Bipartisan American Affordability & Jobs Act (BAAJA). As part of our endorsement, CNL has sent a letter signed by 45 of our United States chapters to the US Senate in support of the legislation.

So he just gets to be Agriculture Secretary for a Dem president anytime he wants until he dies right? Rest easy Tom Vilsack, your nation thanks you.

For better or for worse, the Ken Martin experience is to endure endless waves of democratic infighting only to emerge victorious while watching the Republican Party self-destruct. Nationwide total MN cultural victory.
Ken Martin has taken a lot of shit as DNC chair. But pretty hard to argue with this scoreboard.

Congrats to Senator-elect Rick Olson! The Twin Cities New Liberals were proud to endorse Rick as one of our candidates this cycle, last night he became the first DFLer to win his Senate seat in 40 years! With a 500-vote margin, every little bit was needed!

The people yearn for single stair reform
Wow. It's not just James Talarico who's a CLEAR favorite to win Texas Senate. Gina Hinojosa is absolutely smashing it, and I'd probably take her, if you forced me to pick who was favored between her and Greg Abbott in TX-GOV.

Underscored by lots of hyper local policy fights and bad faith arguments is the fact that the Minneapolis and regional bike network has improved immensely over the past 10 years. The various one-off projects are being knit together into a real network that outsiders rave about!

Great to be out knocking for Rick Olson today in Shakopee! Rick is one of our endorsed candidates this cycle trying to flip a State Senate seat. A big tent is a powerful tent!
Replying to @TCNewLibs
In the State Senate, Rick Olson is running in SD54 (Scott County), a seat that is trending blue but needs a candidate who can reach Trump voters. Rick has worked in law, economics, agriculture and education and is ready to broaden the DFL tent as a former Republican.

We are proud to support Anders Folk (@folkforhennepin) for Hennepin County Attorney. From safety on our transit systems to youth intervention, we believe an experienced prosecutor like Anders is the best choice to lead the county.

Plenty of work to do to prepare cities for driverless cars and all sorts of new transportation technology on the horizon. None of it involves mandating a person in the vehicle. Good to see the veto upheld.

A DFL candidate for Governor being ahead of the state speaker of the House on who is better to handle fraud is straight up wizardry. Klobbering will continue.
New Minnesota Poll: Amy Klobuchar has a commanding 50-41% lead over Lisa Demuth in the governor’s race. Slightly more voters said they trust Klobuchar, the Democrat, to tackle the state’s fraud crisis than Demuth. startribune.com/minnesota-po…

Twin Cities New Liberals condemn the apparent use of the DoJ to target Rep. Omar. This admin has repeatedly singled out Omar and now, weeks before an election, agents have searched her home. The DoJ must operate independently, not as a tool for intimidating political opponents.
Breaking news: Federal authorities searched the D.C. home of Rep. Ilhan Omar on Monday morning, intensifying long-standing immigration-related accusations from Republicans regarding the nation’s first Somali American lawmaker. wapo.st/4zuN9Kp

It is long past time for @MetroTransitMN to fare gate its grade separated stops. Lake Street/Midtown and both airport stations are well situated for fare gates!
Cracking down on fare evasion reduces crime on the subway significantly. If we want the subway to be safe and clean, farebeaters need to face consequences, says @emmma_camp_. Subscribe to Free Expression: on.wsj.com/4rxSOMW

Some pushback to our Waymo statement implied that we were using the safety argument as a way to oppose labor. Nobody is required to support AV’s, but the self reported numbers here on assaults from Uber/Lyft show that it’s clearly an issue for drivers/passengers alike.

There are lots of challenges to be solved from AV’s, and those should be taken seriously by cities and the state. That said, if folks want to defend the status quo and say no person would feel safer in a car by themselves, the data conflicts with that.
