I always admired and respected Bill’s keen twinkling eye, his capacity to see the people in the news, and his wisdom over the many years that we shared the same turf at the Minnesota State Capitol.
Sending you peace, Bill.

"They'll get over it."
That's apparently the closing message from Senate Republicans before they vote to take away health care from millions of Americans — all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
Unbelievable.

You know things are bad when House Republicans — who voted to cut Medicaid by $800B — are worried about Medicaid cuts in the Senate GOP's bill.
But make no mistake: both the House and Senate bills kick millions off their health care. We're fighting them with everything we've got.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.
Jamming this bill through while claiming you’re a ‘fiscal conservative’ is Olympic-level mental gymnastics that I honestly thought most Senators were too old to be capable of.
Giving the biggest corporations giant tax breaks, paid for by kicking Americans off their health insurance and taking their food assistance, will not make us great.
Those tax savings aren’t going to trickle down to workers. They’re going to pay for stock buybacks.
Republicans overturned Roe v. Wade 3 years ago and it's been chaos ever since.
Women should not have to plead to get the medical care they need, and they should not be denied life-saving care just because a guy in a suit thinks it's wrong. Abortion bans kill women.
Seems bad.
Idea: Scrap the whole thing.

Lots going on in the world right now but please don’t forget they’re going to try and jam one of the largest transfers of wealth from working families to the richest corporations through the Senate this week.
Thank you to the tireless response teams and volunteers helping with recovery – my team is in communication with emergency managers, and we are committed to assisting in every way we can.
The Trump administration should work to reestablish the diplomatic negotiations we know offer a path to reining in Iran’s nuclear program.
His actions risk escalating this conflict in dangerous ways, and it is his responsibility to protect the tens of thousands of US troops in the region and the United States’ vital interests.
Iran’s nuclear program is a threat to global security, and they cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
But President’s Trump’s action to bomb Iran with no consultation with Congress is unacceptable and ignores the Constitution.
Happy Juneteenth, Minnesota.
Today is a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for racial justice.
It's a time to reflect on the painful legacy of slavery, honor Black history, and draw strength from community as we continue fighting for a more just future.
I will miss her leadership and her friendship as our state navigates these uncertain times.
May the memory of Melissa and Mark be a blessing for all who knew and loved them.
Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in.
It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.
I’m about to speak on the Senate floor to memorialize the devastating loss of Melissa and Mark Hortman.
Tune in here ⬇️
Times like this weekend make me so glad to have Archie - a loving and very fun father and grandfather - by my side.
Happy Father’s Day Archie. I love you.
