Politicians use their office to get rich. Those days have got to end. No revolving door for lobbyists, no congressional stock trading, no corporate PAC money.

Our Somali Muslim neighbors belong, and like Minnesotans from across the state, must be free to vote and pray and exercise their rights. I stand with them and stood with them during Friday prayers today. Hate will not win. #GreatMNVoteTogether

Yes. They’re consolidating power, destroying the social safety net, and eliminating regulations as fast as they can, as well as saying outrageous things to distract us, with the goal of having us chase our tails and give up because we’re overwhelmed. But we won’t let them win.
