There are some really important and powerful voices speaking up against the rollback to undocumented health care coverage on the Minnesota house floor today. Grateful for the members of the #mnleg leading with their values and speaking up for *all* their constituents.

The fact that these GOP legislators know that MNCare is not free, and continue to say that immigrants are getting free healthcare, is the absolute worst. They lie without blinking. They lie knowing that lies work with their base. They’re LIARS. It’s bone-chilling.

Recession is their plan - they don’t care about anyone other than those who can buy up assets while everyone else suffers.

As MN debates its next budget, it is important to remember that our social and economic strength comes from the richest among us. Tech bros, high paid CEOs, and passive investors turn the gears of society & we need to make sure they are properly incentivized to continue profiting off of our labor.

I don’t get how people can’t zoom out and understand that government is just a: - shared pool of money - for shared resources - where everyone has a voice - without a profit-driven influence or middleman That’s what our government is built to be, and MAGA’s destroying that.

Important moment of bipartisan agreement at #mnleg today: Outsourcing public services drains revenue, hurts workers, and limits oversight. Our state government can do more to provide direct, systemic solutions rather than sending our $$$ to private actors.

They'd like to think taxes exist in a vacuum, that our shared taxes disappear into the sky rather than funding the essential services that we need. We loved this moment from @athenahollins.bsky.social - setting the record straight.

This chart shows how behind we are on funding in Minnesota compared to funding levels and wealth in the '90s. If you feel like our state hasn't done enough to fund public schools, affordable healthcare, infrastructure, disability services, and more - you're right. 🧵

Every doorknock I do lately, I start with “Bad things are happening to people right now” and I’m convinced people should add it to their process. 1. Opens up a conversation 2. Shows you’re in touch with the voters and speaks to your values 3. It’s so absolutely true 😭 Go knock for Gottfried!!

This could mean cuts of tens - if not hundreds - of millions for research at the U of M. And the first bill our #mnleg House Higher Ed Committee is hearing would rip away scholarships of <$2000 from 400 students. They do not give a shit.
