Hopped on WCCO Radio this morning to talk about the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’.
Listen, I’m all for efficiency, but ripping Americans’ health care and food assistance away to give tax breaks to giant corporations and their rich executives isn’t fighting waste and fraud.
That’s just a grift.

The GOP reconciliation bill would cut $300 billion from SNAP, starving millions of families.
This is a matter of life or death for working families. And while billionaires win, the rest of us lose.
Democrats won't stand for this, and neither should Republicans.
Your bill is the single largest health care rollback in American history.
If you’re going to do it, at least have the guts to own it. Federal Medicaid $ does not cover undocumented people, period. Surely you know this.
Hell must be frozen over.

“One Big Beautiful Bill”?
Try one big, bold-faced lie.
They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise.
$2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what?
Tax cuts for the rich.
Republicans are hell-bent on making it harder for a whole lot of people, including women, to vote. This fight is far from over.
It’s important to celebrate the strides we've taken with the 19th Amendment, but we have to recognize that the fight for universal suffrage began long before 1920 and continues today.
Harvey Milk served in the Navy for 4 years. He was forced out because he was gay.
Hegseth should focus on the chronic mismanagement of the Pentagon under his (hopefully limited) tenure and protecting those who serve instead of scoring political points by demonizing a former servicemember.
Pete Hegseth can't go a single day without making headlines for something ridiculous.
Fox News left out the 10 million people who lose their health insurance and the $2 trillion tacked onto the deficit… and the part where all of this is to pay for rich people and big corporations’ tax cuts
We've made so much progress between PrEP and PEP and HIV awareness campaigns that this kind of move feels even darker.
America cannot fall behind in leading the world in science. We can't cede ground, but that's exactly what this decision does.
We were on the cusp of an immense breakthrough: A cure to our HIV epidemic. A vaccine to prevent one of the world’s deadliest diseases.
Until RFK Jr. defunded vaccine trials because a cure to HIV isn't as important as tax breaks for rich people like Big Pharma CEOs.
How can I explain to Minnesotans that they are losing their health insurance because Republicans couldn’t be bothered to read the bill?
He bought one Republican and it didn’t work out… so he’s going to try it again?
We know what this means. Women in this country have already died in states with abortion bans.
Doctors are forced to consult the lawyers — can they do what’s best for their patient or do they need to wait for her condition to get worse?

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Congratulations Sue as you begin a new phase of your life, and thank you so much for your service.
With Sue as our model, we will keep on fighting back against attacks on the largest source of insurance for children’s mental health treatment in the nation (Medicaid), and renewed efforts by people up to the Secretary of HHS to stigmatize folks with mental illness and behavior health challenges.
We have made progress these last few years, like launching the 9-8-8 hotline nationwide, and we have huge challenges ahead.
