Warm night for a knock but just as warm response on the doors in Winona for Dan Wilson!

MN House DFL Floor Leader; climate wonk.
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.

🚨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.

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.
Every GOP House member voted no last night on advancing assault weapons and high capacity magazine bans. The public overhwelmingly supports action on both. This is not the end of the fight. But GOP members have now shown they are choosing the gun lobby over kid safety.
Seven weeks before the end of session, 90% of House Republicans just voted to adjourn for good. They voted for no more action on gun violence prevention, fraud, or affordability. Total abdication of their responsibilities as elected officials.
Dems have demanded reasonable protections from ICE overreach: warrants, no ICE agents in schools, no secret police. Trump this week stopped a bipartisan proposal to fund TSA and DHS because ... he wants to leverage federal workers for his voter disenfranchisement obsession.
Honored to be endorsed for reelection in 61B! I’m so proud to be a part of this incredible community.
For those keeping score at home: Minnesota: 1 Kristi Noem: 0
It’s becoming harder for average MN families to make ends meet. The wealthy are doing great while the rest of us struggle. House DFLers rolled out a plan today to help reduce costs for 2/3 of a typical family budget: health care, housing, child care, energy, and groceries.
Bills the MN GOP refused to let out of committee today alone: - Ban assault weapons (69% public support) - Ban high capacity magazines (64% public support) - My civil right of action for Constitutional violations (88% public support) The GOP is on the wrong side and Minnesotans will remember.
Today I’m proposing a ban on assault rifles, high-capacity magazines, binary triggers, firearms without serial numbers, and more.
This week Demuth and the House GOP blocked bills to: - Keep ICE out of schools - Require BCA to investigate federal agent shootings - Provide emergency rental assistance They don’t even want to acknowledge the harm Metro Surge has caused Minnesotans.
It was a hard first day of session without Speaker Hortman. We know what she would want us to do: pick ourselves up, and focus on working together to improve lives.
Trump's EPA just said climate change is a hoax. They can't avoid the science or the law, but in the meantime this will do real harm to Americans' health and add over $6K in costs to new vehicles.
