I stand with Ilhan. Weaponizing the federal government to attack political enemies is an outrageous abuse of power. Once again, Trump is attacking Somali Americans and Minnesotans. Our best answer: vote against Trump candidates this fall.

MN House DFL Floor Leader; climate wonk.
Ron Schutz owns stock in six companies the Attorney General’s office is actively suing. The conflict of interest is blatant.
Attacking GOP appointed judges who stood up for the rule of law. This DOJ is a total embarrassment.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoBlanche: "Today, we're also announcing that just a few minutes ago the DOJ filed a judicial misconduct complaint with the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals against all but one district court judge in the District of Minnesota for violating various judicial canons."
When Minnesota tried to cap the cost of insulin, Lisa Demuth voted no — twice. My record is different: I stood up to Big Pharma and voted to cap insulin costs for seniors and led the successful effort to force pharma to negotiate prices with Medicare.
Your reminder to vote yes for MN kids on the school trust ballot question this November!
Early voting starts today Minnesota! 🗳️ Time to vote for Amy, Peggy, Keith, Cedrick, and a DFL House and Senate! 💪 🇺🇸

Opinion | What Minnesota Democrats will fight for in 2027
From universal primary health care to low- or no-cost child care, here is our set of priorities for the next legislative session, two state DFL lawmakers write.

“I received more votes than all of the Republicans combined,” @peggyflanagan.bsky.social said. “That is, I think, a pretty resounding victory”
Trump's retribution campaign against MN included investigating progressive groups and unions for first amendment activity. This should appall Minnesotans of all backgrounds. Government surveillance to intimidate political opponents is un-American, plan and simple.
Warm night for a knock but just as warm response on the doors in Winona for Dan Wilson!
Trump’s Dept of Energy flat out admits they canceled grants because they were in blue states. Regardless of your party, using grants to punish communities for democratic choices should outrage you. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him
Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

Every day, DFLers are working at the Capitol to lower costs for Minnesotans - even when it means standing up to corporate lobbyists, health insurance companies and Big Pharma. You deserve healthcare, childcare, housing, energy, and groceries you can afford. #mnleg
Cast my vote early this week for my friend @peggyflanagan.bsky.social! Peggy is a progressive fighter who will stand up to Trump when MN needs it most.
So, when can we expect the DOJ’s press conference announcing federal prosecutions for those who killed Alex Pretti or Renee Good, or who shot and injured Cesar Sosa-Celis?
So proud of my friend and colleague @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social for a convincing 1st ballot endorsement. He’s going to be an incredible Hennepin Cty Attorney!
The MN GOP opened their convention with a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin. Not for those we lost to gun violence. Not for soldiers killed overseas. To a literal convicted murderer. Disgusting.
We know what it’s like to have Lisa Demuth deny election results she doesn’t like. (And lose) When you build a whole party on election-denying, it’s really hard to have elections. Also, you end up attacking incredible, trusted elected officials like @Brad Tabke.
Your DFL endorsed candidate @peggyflanagan! Peggy is fierce, tireless, and will be an incredible US Senator!
A proven fighter, leader, and winner. Amy Klobuchar is Minnesota DFL-endorsed for Governor! 💙
Proud to support the People’s Lawyer, @keithellison for a third term to help Minnesota afford our lives and stand up for our rights!
Process is the argument you make for not showing up when you were going to lose anyway. But it's particularly weak this year when thousands of fired up DFLers ran to be delegates for the very first time. Proud to support @peggyflanagan.bsky.social this weekend at the DFL convention!
So… Trump sues himself. Settles with himself. And gives himself a $1.8B slush fund that he controls to hand out to his allies and convicted Jan 6 rioters? And we’re supposed to think the GOP takes fraud and fiscal responsibility seriously?
Demuth and the GOP have taken the gun violence prevention bill hostage. Minnesotans want action. Let the House vote. www.startribune.com/parents-of-s...
Parents of slain Annunciation student pressure Demuth to allow gun bill to move in the House
Mike Moyski says GOP House speaker told him that she wouldn’t block a gun control bill from reaching the House floor.
startribune.com
🚨APPALLING: Minnesota Republicans are literally hiding legislation in a desk drawer to prevent it from coming up for a vote. One of Speaker Lisa Demuth's deputies just admitted that he was "instructed not to report" a bill banning assault weapons/high-capacity magazines the Senate already passed.
SCOTUS continues to demolish our proudest civil rights achievements. It is now open season for states to gerrymander in favor of white voters and remove any minority representation. Shameful.
“When I look back on our story together, I’m more deeply proud of our state than ever before.” - @mngovernor
Thank you @smith.senate.gov and @klobuchar.senate.gov for standing strong for the Boundary Waters today. The fight isn’t over. We can and will protect the Boundary Waters.
