TY US Rep. @KellyMorrisonMN for moving a bipartisan resolution to condemn the attacks on our #mnleg lawmakers and rejecting political violence. Every member of the U.S. House of Reps. voted in support. Actions are now needed. We cannot let #PoliticalViolence be normalized.

TY @JuliaEColeman for leaning on shared humanity and putting people before 🔵🔴. Extremism is not patriotic. It honors no one - stands for nothing of value. #PoliticalViolence is NOT a shared value at our Capitol or state. It’s time to change how we talk to and about each other.
As I paid my respects to Speaker Hortman, her husband Mark and their dog, Gilbert, I felt the raw grief of so many Minnesotans. A political assassination is an attack on our State’s heart, no matter our politics or place. President Biden’s attendance today acknowledged that

Today we are reminded by each #mnleg member who��ve leaned into mutual humanity to say, in MN as electeds we DO NOT resort to #PoliticalViolence as a way to resolve those differences. Nothing about political violence is patriotic. Nothing.

Speaker Emeritus Melissa Hortman’s kindness was NOT a strategy, it was her way of leading and life.

As we wait to pay our respects, to Melissa and Mark, I look up and this glares back…we continue to answer the call to defend and protect our great Republic and state’s democracy. Sometimes it takes from our families/communities more than we ever imagined. #EndPoliticalViolence

Do an act of kindness whether big or small, to make our community better for someone else…” From the family 👇🏼”plant a tree, telling a dad joke, and baking something to share — “bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa.”“Pet a dog,” “A golden retriever is ideal but any will do.”. .

Today, I was discussing Speaker Hortman's intense funeral security with a good friend of mine. They made a joke "Well you never know if @Tim_Walz is going to send another Assassin". They immediately knew they crossed a line by the look my face. I mostly* kept my composure and

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 TY @WalterHudson.
The path forward is to recognize that unhinged lunatics like this are not indicative of the opposition. Let's start calling out our crazies and have the real conversation among the sane.

On @FaceTheNation @RepThomasMassie speaks to influence of AIPAC, lobby group for Israel interests in USA, on the messaging of his colleagues in bombing Iran, and perhaps placing Israel’s interests in bombing Iran now ahead of our own. Great ex. of why we must end #CitizensUnited.

Democracy depends on trust. 2018 the president pulls the Iran nuclear deal his own team helped shape despite compliance. March 2025 intelligence report contradicts Israel’s claims vs. Iran. He speaks of killing 🇮🇷 leader. He rolls out surprise strike. Democracy depends on trust.
BRENNAN: Why would Iran agree to any peace deal if the US has already pulled out of one that they had, as President Trump did in 2018, and now launched surprise attacks?. RUBIO: The ones that shouldn't be trusted are the Iranians
