NEWS: For the first time in over a decade (!), robust, bipartisan legislation to address homelessness nationwide was just introduced in the Senate.
Graphic stating: Reducing Homelessness Through Program Reform Act (Bipartisan). Introduced by Senators Tina Smith (D-MN) and Mike Rounds (R-SD).
Just so we’re clear, he wants us to pay more for goods we get from Brazil because he wants to save a foreign political crony on trial for corruption. Not seeing the “America First” mentality here…
BREAKING: While Texans hold their breath as search and rescue personnel look for survivors of this weekend’s deadly floods, the Trump Admin is quietly trying to repeal federal flood protections.
Equal protection under law. The right to due process. The promise that everyone born on American soil is treated as a citizen. The 14th Amendment is clear: Trump is not a king. He can’t re-write it – no matter how hard he may try.
157 years ago, the 14th Amendment was ratified—guaranteeing equal protection and due process under law and birthright citizenship. I’ll continue to stand up against Trump Administration’s illegal attempts to unilaterally end birthright citizenship and roll back civil rights.
Wrote last week’s “five things” email for all the Republican sellouts (not sure if DOGE still does this anymore since the breakup?)
Email to DOGE stating: What I Did for Work Last Week
• Kicked millions of people off their health insurance (also forced many rural hospitals to close)
• Took food assistance away from hungry families
• Defunded Planned Parenthood
• Slashed taxes for billionaires and big corporations
• Added five trillion dollars to the national debt
Best regards from your favorite corporate sellout,
[INSERT NAME HERE]
Republican United States Senator
One in four nursing homes have said they’ll close facilities because of the “Big, Beautiful Bill” – and they passed it anyway.   Talk to, essentially, ANY families who have moved someone into long term care recently. There’s not exactly a surplus of facilities around today…
So much progress will be erased by this bill — millions lose health insurance, and for what? To give Jeff Bezos another tax break?
17 million people’s health insurance is not waste. If you’re looking for frauds, look at all the Republicans who promised not to cut Medicaid but did it anyways.
Now it’s up to all of us to continue the fight. As this bill returns to the House, make your voices heard. We say no to the largest role back in health care in our nation’s history, and the biggest transfer of wealth in modern times.
In Minnesota alone, nearly 200,000 people will lose their health insurance. Rural hospitals will be forced to close. Planned Parenthood will lose its funding and have to shutter clinics.
What Republicans did here is simple. They voted to kick 16 million people off health insurance while giving massive tax breaks to billionaires and corporations, and managed to still raise the debt by a staggering $5 trillion.
I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.   Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.
It takes a serious level of cruelty to not only kick millions off their health insurance, but simultaneously tell you where you can and can’t go to get a Pap smear or breast cancer screening — if you’re deemed worthy enough to keep your health insurance in the first place.
🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care. I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out. Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

Just when I thought the big, beautiful bill couldn't get any worse, it has. If R's amendments go through, the number of Minnesotans losing health insurance will top 300,000.
