Beginning August 1, Minnesota begins to close a chapter that has stayed open for 50 years. Veterans of the Secret War in Laos fought alongside American soldiers but have been denied recognition. Now, at long last, their service will receive the honor and recognition it has always deserved. #Veterans

I don’t know who these people are —or who this person is — and I don’t care (as in please don’t explain to me who it is, I don’t care) but absolutely unconscionable to compare my colleague Senator Fateh to Platner. You can dislike people and their politics, but this is beyond the pale.

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. They were the best of us. We miss them every day. May we all work to honor their legacy.

Minnesotans: One of the most important things we can do in November is protect (and expand) the one-seat DFL majority in the Senate, and take back a DFL majority in the House. I’m going to quote this post with threads of protect and flip seats and candidate info for you to check out. #mnleg

I'm so grateful to every member of Team Peggy. This movement belongs to all of us who are ready for a country that works for everyone, not just billionaires and corporations. And we're just getting started.

At the Republican convention today they opened with a moment of silence for…. Derek Chauvin. No, seriously. That’s the party we’re up against. We cannot let them win any state races or take control of the House or Senate in November. They had a moment of silence for a convicted murderer. #mnleg

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 197 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

Today, we learned that Congresswoman Craig would not be joining us at the DFL endorsing convention in Rochester. If you can’t face your own party, you’re not ready to face a Republican. I’ll still be working hard to earn your endorsement. I hope to see you there!

This anti-grooming bill gives protections to all Minnesota kids and teens against sexualization and sexual abuse. We are taking a huge step toward bringing an end to grooming in Minnesota, and we will continue to fight to protect the young people of our state. #mnleg #DFL
