DFL Congressional candidate (MN-6). Pro-kindness, anti-fascist ... don't mistake my good manners for weakness. "Patriotism is loving your country all the time and your government when it deserves it." - Mark Twain

Threats to world peace and economic stability deserve more of a response than a Congressional “out of office” message. 210 days (30 WEEKS!) - until Election Day. #FlipThe6th #LFG

We deserve a Congress that not only works for us - but actually shows up for work. The Speaker and Senate Majority Leader MUST bring Members back to confront this world crisis and rein the White House’s war of adventure in Iran.

The President is promising to commit war crimes. Gas prices are through the roof. Farmers are looking at the price of diesel and fertilizer and wondering if they can even afford to plant this spring. And Congress is on vacation.

Nats friends: had a few minutes to kill between calls and I wanted to see if people were dunking on Miles Mikolas. You did not disappoint. I love you people.

One of the biggest obstacles in negotiation is “refusing to take yes for an answer.” That’s where Tom Emmer and the House GOP are right now. By refusing to lower Americans’ health insurance costs to end the shutdown, they’re being stubborn- or showing us they’d rather argue than find a solution.
The word YES with a red circle and slash through it.

Worth noting that only 12 states have a greater population than NYC. Moreover, six states have fewer people than voted yesterday. I’d be careful about reading too much into this factoid.

Sir, this is an Arby's. [Sorry, couldn't resist.] Of course you're right on a deeper theoretical level; what I'm trying to say is that people think issues like voter ID are purely partisan self-dealing, when the truth is policy positions are often deeper seated and less short-sighted than that.

This is always an eye-opener when I discuss election policy with students; for example, you're Republican because you support voter ID (or Democratic because you oppose it) - not the other way around.
