Started this past weekend on the campaign trail launching a door knock for our superb DFL team in Maplewood. From there, I went down to my hometown of South St. Paul for the 38th annual On the Road Again to campaign for DFLers and judge pickles with @reprickhansen.bsky.social!

I'm proudly voting YES this November for the school trust fund constitutional amendment. This amendment passed the Minnesota House unanimously and presents an extraordinary opportunity to increase funding for our public schools AND lower our property taxes.

AI CEOs are pleading for Congress to urgently regulate AI. House Republicans? They're too busy campaigning. We cannot allow AI to become autonomous and we need to pause advanced AI development until we can establish strong federal regulations.

While voters are ready to punish President Trump for the failures of his presidency and a Republican Congress, he seems to think putting forth a desperate, trillion-dollar-debt-raising gimmick will alleviate the pain inflicted by their failure to lead.
