AG Keith Ellison is the people’s lawyer. He fights to protect us from Trump, hold ICE accountable, and keep large corporations from price gouging. His opponent is loyal to Trump and his billionaire backers. Join me in supporting @keithellison.bsky.social

Donald Trump has spent two years attacking Minnesota, and Michele would be “honored" to have his support. That's everything you need to know about Michele Tafoya.

Oligarchs. The word for very rich businesspeople directly connected to the top of the government and playing a role in high-level government functions is “oligarchs.” Way beyond lobbying, donating, and advisory councils. Trump brought them on his trip to China too. America has oligarchs now.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

The DOJ claims its so-called “Anti-Weaponization Fund” is dead, yet still won’t provide any information to the court. But a judge today ordered the government to name its architects and turn over records. We’re one step closer to getting to the bottom of the slush fund.

No one working for a trillion-dollar company should live in poverty. When massive corporations refuse to pay a living wage, taxpayers foot the bill through public assistance. We are subsidizing their record profits so the elites can buy another election.
A headline reads, "Amazon, gig companies see spike in workers on SNAP and Medicaid, study shows." The subheadline states, "Amazon workers on federal aid nearly tripled between 2020 and 2025, while ride-hailing and food delivery app drivers shot up on lists compiled by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

The MN Supreme Court denied Mike Lindell in the best way possible, depriving him of the opportunity to pretend that if only he hadn't been blocked by procedural matters, he would have been vindicated on the merits. No, they exercise their discretion to say, he didn't just mess up, he was wrong.
As a threshold matter, respondents argue that Lindell’s petition should be
dismissed as moot and barred by laches. We decline to do so. ...
On the merits of Lindell’s section 204B.44 petition, however, we conclude that
respondents are not committing any wrongful act, omission, or error by following—as the
Secretary of State proposes—the procedures set forth in Minnesota Rules chapter 8235
and the Secretary of State Contingent Plan for Discretionary Recount approved by the
Canvassing Board on August 18, 2026.

71 years ago white supremacists kidnapped, tortured, and murdered a 14-year-old Black child named Emmett Till. Some still haven't heard his story. But in the wake of Nolan Wells and Tamir Rice, a reminder that these atrocities continue—& we must not become numb to them. Here's to remembering Emmett.
