omg @DrAliceMann is everything 🔥 Some administrators have asked the legislature to exclude educators from statewide Paid Family and Medical Leave. Just, like, how dare you. #mnleg

New low for the Demuth camp. They put out an op-ed by Rep. Dawn Gillman in a futile attempt to discredit Nicole Smith-Holt about INSULIN affordability. Who do you trust more- Nicole Smith-Holt, or a state rep who wasn't even in the legislature when Alec's Law was passed?

House DFLers authored a bill to require the MN BCA to investigate the killing of Alex Pretti. Every DFLer in the House voted yes. Every Republican voted no.

Please watch this powerful story. And if you agree with Tess, that we have the power and capacity for change, then reshare it. And vote!
We can’t allow for another Annunciation to happen & be left wondering, could we have done something to prevent this? Yes, it starts with voting. Minnesotans want and deserve change & we’re fighting to keep us safe. It’s extreme to do nothing while lives are at stake. Vote Nov 3.

Stoss invoked Christian nationalist imagery in rallying young people to “reconquer our state and nation”. This is the guy looking to represent you in White Bear Lake and the North Metro.

Just landed in Minnesota to rally voters and volunteers for the only pro- worker candidate in this race: Peggy Flanagan.
Working families are struggling right now because corporations call the shots and extremist billionaires benefit from the status quo. It doesn't have to be this way. I’m the only candidate in this race refusing corporate PAC money because I answer to Minnesotans — and no one else.

James Talarico: “Too many Democrats have joined Republicans in preaching the false gospel of trickle-down economics. The idea that all we gotta do to get the economy on track is to let the rich get richer and forget about everybody else. Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it’s theft. They have been stealing from working people in Texas and across the country for 50 years now”

The man was Somali. I wanted to add that since that community has become a punching bag of sorts in rightwing media. A SOMALI American rescued a busload of children.

Oops! They did it again. A fact-check on a sloppy attack ad costs a candidate credibility that no amount of money can buy back. For the second time this week, Team Demuth is learning the hard way.

Minnesotans want a home they can afford, child care that doesn’t cost as much as a mortgage, and health care that is affordable and accessible. As Governor, I will fight to lower costs for the people of Minnesota.

After endorsing Finstad in 2022 and 2024, the Post Bulletin endorsed our campaign this morning! I enjoyed reading their explanation for why: Finstad doesn't show up for us, and I actually will.

MN GOP HOUSE CANDIDATE JOSH JUNGLING: Paid family medical leave is a bumper sticker law. It sounds good on a bumper sticker DFL CANDIDATE ZACK STEPHENSON: It's not a bumper sticker if you have a new baby or a sick parent. I think it's a necessity

My opponent can't hide from the facts. She voted against capping insulin costs -- twice. Nicole Smith-Holt, who took on Big Pharma to fight for affordable insulin after her son, Alec, died after having to ration his insulin, is correcting the record:

Lisa Demuth was the chief author of an extreme bill that would have banned abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest, and punished doctors with up to a year in jail. Unlike my opponent, I will protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions in Minnesota.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Same week that he said he’s fine with Iran bombing LA and San Diego, Trump is calling for Minnesotans to fight each other in the street. Remember when the president was supposed to be a role model for kids?
Trump is trying to start a race war in Minnesota: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue. Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

I have now visited every county in Minnesota this year – all 87 of them! I do this every year because you can’t know what people need if you don’t show up. As Governor, that’s how I’ll lead – by showing up, listening, and bringing people together to get things done.
