Minnesota’s hemp industry supports farmers and small businesses, and a one-size-fits-all nationwide ban ignores the strong safety rules we have in place. I’m working across the aisle with Sen. Rand Paul to reverse the federal ban that is threatening jobs in Minnesota.

We have truly gone back in time to the McCarthy era. This is such an obvious retaliation against Louise Lucas for her important leadership during Virginia’s redistricting fight. Punish your political enemies, smear dissent, weaponize government power.

I’m sure Trump is innocent of this Epstein stuff because he isn’t on video bragging about grabbing women & hasn’t had 27 different women accuse him of sex assault or bragged about going into beauty pageant dressing rooms when they’re naked or talked about how hot his daughter is.

Good ?. They lack the ability to engage with intelligence/honesty. Their comeback 100% of the time is to accuse those who question them of “murdering babies”. Apparently rape, pedophilia and murdering/abusing our immigrants is “ok” but a women’s right to an abortion crosses their hypocritical line.
