It's always good to see progress made on things everyone agrees on, like the Vikings desperately needing a new quarterback.
Welcome back, #8!

The House DFL just won the largest majority in decades. Now it’s time to deliver — and we’ve got the leadership team to do it.
Congratulations to Majority Leader Long and Majority Whip Sencer-Mura! LFG.
BREAKING: @zackstephenson was just elected Speaker-designate of the Minnesota House of Representatives.
Minnesotans elected the largest House DFL majority since the Obama era, and we’re ready to deliver for them.
LFG.
Today, Minnesota lawmakers officially unveiled the Hortman Memorial Highway.
From the moment she was first elected, Melissa Hortman fought to deliver funding to finish Highway 610. She was successful, as she so often was.
From now on, this stretch of road will honor our dear friends Mark and Melissa Hortman.
Dolores Huerta was an organizer, a leader, and an inspiration. Her legacy of worker empowerment changed the trajectory of this country for the better, and her memory will live on.
May she rest in peace.
Dolores Huerta, who founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, changing laws and the lives of thousands of laborers, died on Wednesday at 96. A skilled organizer, she coordinated walkouts and negotiated pathbreaking contracts with agribusiness. nyti.ms/4zZMDUY
As the sun sets across our state and Jewish Minnesotans begin their holiest day of the year, we’re wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur to all those observing.
May your fast be easy. May this day bring peace.

Instead of looking to the future and embracing cleaner, renewable energy options – that are also less expensive – Donald Trump and Republicans are taking us backward by giving polluters another massive giveaway.
Here in Minnesota, we’re leading the way toward 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040, and DFLers are working to lower energy costs and protect our planet for generations to come.
Major win for democracy, and yet another L for Donald Trump.

25 years ago, America suffered the worst terror attack in its history.
Today, we mourn all those we lost on that horrific day, and we honor the countless acts of bravery and selflessness that followed. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things in a moment of crisis — running toward rubble and flames to save strangers in need.
We will never forget.
Paid Family Leave. Earned Sick and Safe Time. Raising the minimum wage. Protecting pensions. Supporting unions. Banning non-competes. Wage theft protections.
We’re the Democratic-Farmer-*Labor* Party for a reason.
Happy Labor Day, Minnesota!
As he should be.
There's a long way to go for justice and accountability after everything ICE did to our state and our communities, but this is a good start.

Our hearts are with the victims of today’s horrific shooting in Minneapolis, including the law enforcement officers who sustained injuries.
We’re grateful for the bravery of our first responders and their efforts to keep Minnesotans safe.
To recap:
As costs rise and a war in the Middle East rages on, the most unpopular president in modern history — in tandem with a Supreme Court that he appointed 1/3 of — is making it harder for people to vote.
All this, instead of solving *any* of the problems that he created.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Supreme Court stayed one injunction blocking the EO on standing/ripeness grounds, without ruling on its legality. A separate USPS injunction remains. Full implementation for midterms is uncertain amid timing and likely further challenges.

Trump’s DOJ is now *0-23* in their attempts to take confidential voter information from states across the country.
0-23. Loser behavior. SAD!

Minnesota stands with Maine as they experience the all-too familiar horror of ICE agents killing an innocent individual in their streets.
This cannot keep happening. We’re sick of saying enough is enough. ICE’s unchecked terror in our communities must end.
If you were born here, you are from here, you are an American citizen, and Donald Trump can never take that away from you — no matter how hard he tries. 🇺🇸
