Rep Lauren Underwood was the first Black person, first woman, and first millennial elected to represent her Illinois district, which she flipped from red to blue, defeating a four-term GOP incumbent. She’s had 14 bills signed into law by both D and R presidents. She’s the future.
Lauren Underwood@laurenunderwood.bsky.social · 2mo agoYesterday, my NIH IMPROVE Act passed the House unanimously! The next step? Getting it passed in the Senate. When I came to Congress, my goal was simple: end pregnancy-related deaths. This funding gets us one step closer to ending these maternal health disparities.
Looks like we need to be growing more candidates in vats.

I subscribe to the @startribune.com because it's excellent and necessary, but it's pretty satisfying to be invested in a Pulitzer winner (again). Congratulations to a great paper! May Minnesota's next year be so boring that no one will even be nominated. We all need a rest. #LocalJournalismMatters
Caught a little of the citizenship debate at SCOTUS this morning (thank you @npr.org ), and basked in the sound of women's voices- lawyers and judges all - charged with guarding the common good. I'm old enough to remember when those voices were almost all masculine.

Oh, look at that, the people being imprisoned by the Trump administration were doing important work. Now we're paying prison operators thousands of dollars a day to prevent workers from building houses. Nice job, #corruptGOP ! www.startribune.com/ice-immigrat... www.startribune.com/ice-immigrat...

Minnesota needs help on this front too- please call your GOP Senators . I'm not sure it's unrelated to the ICE occupation ; the colonial hunt for minerals sorta looked similar ? www.startribune.com/bwca-copper-...

Lisa Demuth, Republican House member now running for governor, garnered my respect for her gracious comments after Melissa Hortman was murdered. But encouraging a young man with a camera to invade day care centers based on the ethnicity of the people inside ... yikes!
