Minnesota law ensures full reproductive freedom. Lisa Demuth used the power of her current office to vote to ban abortion. No doubt she’d do the same if elected governor. We are not going back.

Trump came here looking for the “worst of the worst?” He meant our neighbors. His “domestic terrorists?” Teachers, nurses, vets and janitors.   Minnesotans are sticking together, standing up to Trump in the street, in court, in the Senate and at the ballot box. Keep up the fight!

Private Prison + profit motive + ICE is a recipe for human tragedy. The health and safety of those detained is a Minnesota priority and ICE has a deadly record. If it opens, and I hope it doesn’t, we must work to protect the lives of those detained inside. www.startribune.com/appleton-pri...

So much to see at HCMC. Got into a hyperbaric chamber, the emergency department, up to the helipad, and into a meeting with mission driven providers who are committed to their patients and care. This session’s work for HCMC and other distressed hospitals was critical and it’s ongoing.

Thursday’s efforts to move forward a ban on high-capacity magazines and on semiautomatic military-style assault weapons both failed on 67-67 party-line procedural votes. Senate leaders on gun violence prevention remain committed to making our communities and Minnesota a safer place.
