My kids are starting up their summer program and I’m reminded of how much I hate packing a lunch every day. Shoutout to @heathergustafson.bsky.social for passing universal school meals so I don’t have to do this the other 9 months of the year.

Parade season 2025 complete! Thank you to everyone who showed up, volunteered, and made it a success. I love finishing parade season in my hometown, Vadnais Heights, too. The smiles and support are always appreciated. See you next year!

The line is long, the mood is somber, and quiet conversations reflect the deep respect so many had for Melissa and Mark Hortman.

Melissa Hortman was a force. She was brilliant, funny, fierce, and so deeply kind. She believed in people and gave everything she had to public service. My heart is broken for her family and for our friends John and Yvette Hoffman, we're praying for you and a successful recovery.

Special session done, budget passed. While D.C. is in chaos, we delivered for Minnesotans: school meals, reproductive rights, clean energy, paid leave, gun safety, and college without crushing debt. We tackled tough issues and stopped GOP rollbacks every chance we got. #mnleg

Yesterday my daughter graduated from Mounds View High School and part of the tradition was walking through your elementary school where the students offer grads advice. Shout out to this wise elementary student who gave the best advice and made us all cry with the last line. 🫶

Always grateful to be invited and attend the Memorial Day Program at Union Cemetery in White Bear Lake. Memorial Day is a time to remember not just the fallen, but the values they fought to protect: freedom, democracy, and unity.

May 25th marks five years since George Floyd was killed. His death forced Minnesota—and the nation—to reckon with the reality of systemic racism in policing and beyond. 1/3 #georgefloyd

As a teacher, this one means a lot. Today we signed pension reform into law, a long overdue step forward for Minnesota educators. We also boosted pensions for firefighters and police officers. Deep thanks to Sen. Nick Frentz for being a relentless advocate. #mnleg

These remarks misrepresent the OIG bill and dismiss the serious, bipartisan work behind it. The IG’s unique role is clearly defined, and it’s clear the current system needs support. Minnesotans deserve better oversight and real accountability. #mnleg www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Plans for new Office of Inspector General "dead" at Minnesota Capitol, leaders say

A bipartisan effort to establish a new state watchdog agency to crack down on fraud in public programs won't advance this year, former DFL House Speaker Melissa Hortman said Friday.

Teacher pension reform was one of the reasons I ran for office and today I was proud to vote yes on the substantial positive changes this pension bill contains. For years, many of us have been fighting to make things right and today we took a huge step forward. #mnleg #teachers

Did you get this text tonight? Here’s the truth: In 2023, the DFL delivered historic $ for seniors, nursing homes, & vulnerable Minnesotans. We eliminated social security income tax for ~80% of seniors. I watched Republicans vote AGAINST these bills. The hypocrisy is wild, even for them.

Not one Minnesota Republican joined DFLers today to condemn Trump’s pardons of the Jan 6 insurrectionists. They say it was a dark day—but when it came time to back law enforcement and defend democracy, they stayed silent. Unbelievable.

A Jan. 6 defendant, separately charged with possession of child pornography, says Trump's pardon should cover the porn charges too — since the evidence came from a Jan. 6 related search by the FBI. This is the same argument DOJ has made in other courts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
