No food, aid, or fuel have entered Gaza since March 2. Community kitchens have closed. Children are sick, thirsty, and starving. Now Netanyahu’s government wants to occupy Gaza and shut down the existing aid distribution system run by the UN and its humanitarian partners. Arms embargo now.
The Trump Tariff Tax is crashing the economy and will likely send us into a recession. This tax will cost the average family nearly $4,000 per year. This insanity has to end.
Hands off Social Security. Hands off Medicaid. Hands off veteran care. Hands off our kids’ education. Hands off our rights. We’re going to fight like hell to defend our democracy from Donald Trump. #HandsOff
Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. Republicans are coming for Medicare.  They're making it crystal clear: “Reform” = cut This has been their playbook all along to spread misinformation while betraying working people.
Sen. Bill Cassidy: "Is there some way that we cut Medicare so that it's-- excuse me, reform Medicare."
Republicans are helping banks rip people off and no one should be surprised. But if you don’t want this to pass in the House, call your member and tell them to put the interest of people over banks.
Horrifying. Disappearing and targeting students with legal status over peaceful political speech is unconstitutional and a clear violation of due process and free speech. Another blatant act of authoritarianism by the Trump Administration. Rumeysa must be released.
A video shared with GBH News shows Ozturk walking as several people in plain clothes with their faces covered walk nearby. A man in a hoodie approaches her, then grabs her wrists. Ozturk screams, then asks “Can I call the police?” before being told “We’re the police.” @gbhnews.bsky.social
Pete Hegseth is an embarrassment to Minnesota. His incompetence and blatantly illegal actions demonstrate he is grossly unfit to lead the Department of Defense. He should resign or be fired immediately.
BREAKING from The Atlantic: Editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg has released the Signal war plans text thread: Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump's Advisers Shared on Signal. tinyurl.com/f4f6mnb8
Last night we had over 500 Minnesotans at my town hall. Here's what I heard: People want Democrats to fight like HELL and give a damn about working people. You have my word: I will fight Trump's illegal actions every step of the way. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

What an incredible turnout! Thank you to the over 500 people who showed up and participated in our in-person town hall in Minneapolis this evening. And a special thank you to our local leaders who joined us for this important conversation with our neighbors.
Netanyahu has shattered the ceasefire agreement, indiscriminately killing hundreds of people in Gaza and putting the lives of the remaining hostages at risk. This is after not allowing any food, water, aid, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Arms embargo NOW.
30 years ago, my family arrived in the United States, a land of hope and opportunity. I'm fighting so everyone can have a real chance at the American dream. That includes making sure everyone has healthcare, stable housing, and a quality education.
Utterly outrageous. This is un-American. The forced disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil for nothing more than constitutionally protected speech is a clear assault on first amendment rights and a blatant act of authoritarianism. Khalil must be released. apnews.com/article/colu...
It’s been 30 years since I arrived in America. As a 12 year old refugee, I could have never imagined I would have the opportunity to represent the community that welcomed me with open arms 🥰. I'll be forever grateful for the American people who gave me and my family a second chance at life.
Turning our backs on those who served our country is disgraceful. The VA needs more employees, not less. In my district, the Minneapolis VA is already facing a staffing shortage. Miss me with your calls for “America First” while blatantly attacking our veterans. apnews.com/article/vete...
President Musk wants federal employees to share 5 things they accomplished this week. Here's mine ⬇️ Ps. Don’t worry Elon every day I’m going to fight against your billionaire con man agenda to slash Medicaid & SNAP while you give billions in tax cuts to yourself & your friends.
Tonight we’re voting on a Republican budget that would destroy Medicaid and give $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to billionaires. In my district, 164,149 Minnesotans are at risk of losing their coverage all while President Musk gives tax breaks to his billionaire friends. Hell NO.
