The county attorney needs to file charges and the officers must be arrested as soon as possible. The case must be won, and legal standards met in order to get a conviction, but we need to have a clear statement that a murder trial is coming. Now.

Minnesota was not “nice” to George Floyd. It is not “nice” to our communities of colors. It is not “nice” to undocumented immigrants. It is not “nice” to American Indians. My goal is to make Minnesota JUST. For the first time. Join us in taking steps toward that goal this summer.

Tim Walz, by his own admission, owns ZERO property. Think about it- a homeless man is running for VP. America truly is the land of opportunity! (this isn't meant to draw attention to the fact he pays ZERO in property taxes. He's an 'Aw Shucks' Midwesterner, just like us).

Several of the House Republicans who just spoke so extensively about how we know how to be safe and we can therefore safely re-open everything just crowded together on an elevator heading down. Most without masks. 🤦‍♂️ #mnleg #COVID19

For the first time in state history, legalization will get a vote. This the moment to make your voice heard — let your #mnleg legislators know why we need to #LegalizeMN .

HF600 (adult use cannabis legalization and regulation bill) has been placed on Thursday's Minnesota House calendar, meaning it is due for floor debate and a vote that day. #mnleg

Blaming the existence of Israel as a Jewish state for the Hamas terrorist attacks is antisemitism. And antisemitism has no place in our schools.

I am glad a handful of House Republicans crossed the aisle to protect our republic today. But I am disturbed that nearly 200 did not.

Convictions for non-violent cannabis offenses push people into a cycle of poverty that cuts them off from housing and jobs. That’s why expunging existing cannabis offenses is a non-negotiable piece of our legalization bill. This is an economic and criminal justice issue.

As long as we continue to approach cannabis with a prohibition strategy, people will be disqualified from all kinds of services & activities — not just the Olympics. People can lose out on housing, jobs, social programs. We need to legalize cannabis in Minnesota and beyond.

Supporting the existence of a Jewish state is not “allegiance to a foreign country.” By continuing to use that language you are suggesting that Jews who support Israel have a divided loyalty. That is why your words are offensive to so many.

Our democracy is built on debate, Congresswoman! I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress or serve on committee. The people of the 5th elected me to serve their interest. I am sure we agree on that!

Got the chance to hear @JoeBiden deliver his closing argument for an America built on decency and respect for each other. He can't do it alone. We have 4 days to make it happen. #GOTV

Our hospitals and health care workers are being stretched to their limits, with deadly consequences. Please be smart. Avoid indoor gatherings, socially distance, and wear a mask.

If Mike Pence and Paul Gazelka really cared about the businesses impacted by civil unrest, they would be bringing aid and support to Lake Street. Instead, they have stonewalled our efforts to help small businesses at every turn.

Ivanka Trump says Americans will come together and help business owners like Flora rebuild. Worth pointing out that state senate Republicans blocked aid to Twin Cities businesses affected by rioting and FEMA denied requests for aid
