Political theater about fraud doesn’t make it better. Actually law changes does.

Trump’s chaos and threats are creating financial uncertainty. When consumer confidence dips so do tax revenue the budget forecast reflect that.

Hearing the VITAL MA outpatient rates bill. Choosing to not invest in these services is choosing to spend more money in hospitalizations, waiver funds, and crisis services.

My favorite part of being a legislator is visiting with folks in and out of district! Thank you to everyone who has shared your passions, priorities and fears this month!

The MN House is organized with the same agreement we offered them on 1/13.

If you thought the dismantling of government would not impact you, I ask do you fly?

If you aren’t a billionaire you don’t matter to the Trump administration. Our VA services are already understaffed, this isn’t going to help.

Official statement below. #mnleg
Saint Paul, Minn. – On Sunday, January 12th, 2025, all but one DFL state representatives-elect were sworn into office for the 2025-2026 biennium. One state representative-elect was sworn in on Friday, January 10th. Senior District Court Judge Kevin Burke administered the oath at the Minnesota History Center. Taking the oath of office early in a location outside the state Capitol is not unprecedented – multiple instances are recorded in the House Journal.
 
Normally, state representatives are sworn into office on the first day of session. However, Democrats are prepared to deny the 68-member quorum required to conduct House business until successful power-sharing negotiations conclude with Republicans. Last week we publicly stated our reasons for denying quorum – we would like Republicans to honor the will of the voters,” said DFL Speaker-designate Melissa Hortman. “We're working to successfully conclude negotiations with House Republicans and remain hopeful that we will have a power-sharing agreement before Tuesday, January 14th. Denial of quorum is a legitimate parliamentary tactic. Michigan House Republicans used the same tactic in December 2024. In the event Democrats choose to deny quorum, we wanted to be sure to have all our members properly and legally sworn in and we did that this evening.”
 
There are multiple instances of representatives being sworn in at a time other than the first day of session. Minnesota statute 3.05 does not provide that the first day of session is the only time that members can be sworn in. Other Minnesota law and past practice indicates it is legally permissible to be done at other times and that it has been done at other times. Other law provides the persons entitled to administer oaths, and Democrats followed those statutes today.Minnesotans voted for equal numbers of Democratic and Republican state representatives. Honoring the will of the voters means governing together under shared power,” added Hortman. “Minnesotans want Republicans to honor the will of the voters. We would like to get to work on a bipartisan basis to tackle the challenges Minnesotans elected us to address. We have no interest in spending January locked in partisan warfare with House Republicans, but we do not intend to allow them to pretend that 67 votes is a majority and engage in an illegitimate power grab. Democrats are prepared to use all parliamentary tactics available to us in the absence of a power-sharing agreement on the first day of session.”
 
“Republicans are deeply frustrated that they are unable to call the House of Representatives to order and conduct business without collaboration by Democrats,” said DFL Floor Leader Jamie Long. “It is sad that they are now resorting to issuing misleading press releases with reckless accusations. Republicans should return to the negotiating table instead.”

Minnesota Republicans are now vowing to seize power and overturn the election of a DFL legislator—even if they lose their court case. This is why my colleagues and I are standing up and fighting back against the illegitimate GOP power grab.

Had a wonderful time in DC, enjoyed the White House Christmas. It was full of kindness and decency. I’m going to miss that.

I spend hours sorting through claims and calling to “fix” wrongly denied claims. Here is the most recent one. She almost DIED. She was hospitalized for 21 days this week was when she was learning to walk and talk again. She is 11. This is why people are fed up with corporate healthcare.

Amazing time at the first dazzle parade in #rochmm. It was great to see JM Rocket players volunteering too. Hoping this becomes a bigger and better tradition for years to come!
