Instead of questioning @RickKupchella motives for A Precarious State - people who claim to care about MN’s future should ask why: ❌Academic performance is declining ❌Record amounts of wealth are fleeing MN ❌MN has a worst in the nation fraud epidemic

A real leader would work across the aisle to find solutions that would work and could pass. Instead, the failed Governor says that is a “waste” of time and money. He was never serious about solving problems, just trying to cling to his job. Pathetic.

Great letter to @GovTimWalz written by my colleague Rep. Mike Wiener. We want a special session that is transparent and not negotiated in closed door meetings.

Buried at the end of this story, but even the @StarTribune is reporting about the sick crimes being enabled by @Tim_Walz’s soft-on-crime policies. This sicko was caught in 2018, but Walz & the DFL trifecta passed a law to expunge it from his record! Time to turn the page.

Deeply saddened and disturbed by the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time. Politics must always be about respectful debate, not violence. Let's stand together against the hate and evil trying to tear us apart.

Two years ago, the Minnesota legislature passed a law that threatened @NorthwesternMN & @CrownCollege's eligibility to provide on-campus PSEO programming to MN students & families. Fortunately, the judge disagreed and ruled that amendment unconstitutional.
Grateful for advocates such as @BenBakebergMN, @HarryNiska, @JimNashMN, @KRobbinsMN, and @anneneu who stood alongside @NorthwesternMN & @CrownCollege and their PSEO programs on Thursday. Cue to 3:08:30: https://t.co/K7slVmMGys

Today we honor Juneteenth — the day in 1865 when the last enslaved Americans in Texas were finally freed. It’s a powerful reminder of our nation’s ongoing journey toward liberty and justice for all. 🇺🇸 #Juneteenth #FreedomDay

Empathy isn’t weakness Civility isn’t surrender Blame isn’t healing The past isn’t an excuse We can find common ground among disagreement. We can be united by a sense of duty, service, & decency - if we choose. It’s possible - the future is ours to write….our kids are watching.

Well said…..
As I try to process the assassination of former Speaker Hortman, her husband and the assassination attempt on Senator Hoffman and his wife, I think the hardest part of it is that it can’t be “fixed”. As a legislator, we are constantly being asked to “do this”, ”fix that”, ”change

One consistent theme of this year's state budget: Even though we are facing a $6 billion deficit due to Democrats reckless spending, the governor's agencies got big increases while Minnesotans shouldered the cuts. Democrats chose to fund bureaucracies over Minnesotans.
