I’ve been seeing some folks on the local FB groups say they got their doors knocked by the FBI. No rhyme or reason, none of them “leaders” by any means, and some didn’t even do any patrols. They’ve got fucking NOTHING, but that won’t stop them from ruining peoples’ lives.

Trump's ICE agents killed two Minnesotans in a politically motivated attack on our state. Now they are targeting those who documented their violence.
We will never stop being the good neighbor state.

One year ago we faced the unimaginable loss of our friend and beloved Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman. To Melissa, Mark, and Gilbert — thank you for your lifetime of dedicated service to Minnesotans and the tremendous legacy you created.
We carry you with us in everything we do.

Today marks one year since Melissa and Mark Hortman were killed in a horrific act of political violence.
Both of them, along with their dog Gilbert, lived lives defined by their service to others.
We miss them every day. May we all work to honor their legacy.

It’s happened again:
A migrant was released from jail (charges dropped) and picked up by ICE.
ICE decides not to deport.
ICE drops migrant off far from home.
Migrant dies in the cold.
Manner of death: Homicide.
Nearly identical to Buffalo case.

When gun retailers ignore red flags on straw purchases, communities pay the price. That’s why we took Fleet Farm to court and forced them to do better.
When corporations enable crime, they must be held accountable.

I’m running for Congress because working people have been left behind. As a union flight attendant for 20 years, I know what working families face every day and it's about time we had a voice in Congress.

The DFLers in the state legislature know that we need good partners at the federal level who are ready to deliver for our state.
I'm proud to have earned the support of a majority of DFLers in the Minnesota state legislature.

Lt. Gov. Stratton is a highly-qualified, proud progressive who knows what it takes to win big without corporate PAC money. Her victory helped blaze the same path my campaign is taking today.
I'm proud to have earned her support for my campaign for the U.S. Senate.

A couple of years ago, on the coldest day of winter, I served hot chili to striking Teamsters on a 2 a.m. picket line. Today, I’m honored to have their support in my run for Congress. The Teamsters represent thousands of Minnesotans who keep our state running through long hours & harsh conditions. We're going to win this together.
Swipe to see a picture from the 2 AM picket line!
