Calling John & Yvette Hoffman liars is disgusting & shows exactly the type of person Angie Craig is. But imagine being her and just doubling down by sharing these texts, which not only don’t address John’s story but also just affirm that you’re an insensitive, selfish jerk. Just drop out, Angie.

Angie Craig calling John and Yvette Hoffman liars was not on my bingo card. Just wow. They don't deserve this, especially after everything they've dealt with in the last year. My heart hurts for them.

Pretty awful stuff from Angie Craig, although unfortunately somehow also not surprising. We can’t possibly allow her to represent MN in the U.S. Senate. Thank you, Sen. Hoffman, for telling your story! Vote Peggy Flanagan on or before August 11th!

In her last act as Speaker of the MN House, Lisa Demuth could’ve helped save home nursing coverage for thousands of kiddos on private insurance. Instead, she sided with insurance companies and wasted the final moments of session. Very fitting end to her tenure as Speaker and to this #mnleg session.

Thank you to the Minnesota Nurses Association and National Nurses United for having me at the Red Alert Save Our Hospitals rally! My mom has been sick my entire life. If you’re a child of a parent with a chronic illness, you know what it’s like.

During Black Maternal Health Week, Senator Clare Oumou Verbeten shares her firsthand experience of a traumatic and dangerous birth. She calls for more than apologies and safety stories, but action and policy change. Read her full op-ed in @MinnPost here: www.minnpost.com/community-vo... #bmhw26

Black parents are not 'safety stories.' We deserve real change - MinnPost

If we want to lower the maternal death rate for Black parents in Minnesota, we need more than apologies and 'safety stories.' We need policy.

The year is 2027. Hakeem Jeffries steps out of his nuclear bunker for the first time in almost a year in full hazmat gear. His fingertips are stained with graphite and marred by thousands of papercuts. In his hand he holds the most strongly worded letter ever written in all of history.

Workers w/ MNA, AFSCME, HCAPE (paramedics), CIR (interns & residents), and The Guild (translators & interpreters) - all Hennepin County Medical Center employees - held a press conference this morning calling on legislators to prioritize work to save HCMC when they return next week from #mnleg break.

Peggy Flanagan was a former school board member who was elected state rep in 2015 and Lieutenant Governor in 2018, which is when Angie Craig left the corporate world for Congress. Craig’s repeated claim that Flanagan, a qualified candidate, needs “training wheels” is offensive and embarrassing.

i don't think the candidate who has been clear-eyed about ICE needs training wheels. i think the woman who voted for the laken riley act then had to walk it back needs training wheels, and it's clear DFL delegates agree with me, since angie craig can't even walk away with a single one in MANKATO

It’s also just whack that Angie Craig doesn’t think being Lieutenant Governor is a role that qualifies you for Senate considering whose seat she is hoping to fill.

Standing with nurses from the Minnesota Nurses Association today at the Maple Grove Hospital. As a veteran and lifelong public servant, I’ve seen what it means to serve others, and our nurses deserve a contract that reflects that commitment.

angie craig drove all the way down to mankato for a DFL convention, got heckled over the laken riley act and AIPAC, AND got 0 delegates brutal. this campaign is crashing and burning

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

The Athletic reports that Team USA GM Bill Guerin was who invited FBI Director Kash Patel into the locker room for the celebration
