This is “Mass Deportation.” This. A wife sobbing in her scrubs because she’s a healthcare worker. And her husband shot in the back while working as a DoorDash driver. There’s no “mass deportation” without human carnage and shredding the Constitution.
A Venezuelan man was shot by ICE today in Austin, TX. I spent hours outside the hospital with his wife, who told me he called just after he was shot. She didn’t see him before he was discharged into federal custody. More with @Christina_M18 @nytimes: nytimes.com/2026/09/20/us/ic…

Diesel prices are now above $6.50 a gallon, a new record high, because of President Trump’s war of choice in Iran. When diesel goes up, so does the price of everything else, from the food we eat to the clothes we wear, because it’s the fuel that our economy runs on.   mprnews.org/story/2026/09/21…

Minnesotans are wondering why Lisa Demuth still doesn’t have a health care plan after a year. Just a long record of backing Donald Trump and Big Pharma.

This is what oligarchy and political corruption is all about. Crypto billionaires are now spending $30 million to defeat Sherrod Brown in Ohio — only days after Senate Democrats blocked their CLARITY Act. We cannot allow billionaires to buy elections. Fight back!

As a Minnesota resident who has traveled to many states in the last several years, I can definitively say nobody from has asked me, “What’s going on with your state?” when I’ve told them I’m from Minnesota. Fraud questions, no. Cold questions, yes.

94% of Democrats, 60% of Independents, and 1 in 5 Republicans support Medicare for All. It’s hard to find issues with this much consensus. We need Medicare for All!

Today, we visited New Richland, MN - a town that has just experienced profound flooding. It will take years for this community to fully recover from this disaster. My heart goes out to our New Richland neighbors and I want you to know that I stand with you.

For more than 25 years, mifepristone has been approved for abortion in the United States, and it’s been used safely by more than 7.5 million American women. But mifepristone and a similar drug have also been proven to treat common conditions like uterine fibroids and endometriosis. As anti-abortion groups lobby the Trump administration to further restrict these drugs, @SarahVarney4 and Rachel Wellford take a look at these treatments.

I firmly believe that access to reproductive care is a right that every Minnesotan should have. That is why I am so very proud to be endorsed by Pro-Choice Minnesota!

Your can of pumpkin puree is squash. Libby's grows and cans a tan, oblong variety from the butternut family and labels it 100% pure pumpkin. That's legal, and FDA has said so in writing since 1938. Their compliance guide tells canners the agency will not take action against the word pumpkin on anything made from golden fleshed, sweet squash. Pumpkin has no real botanical definition and it's a word for certain types of squash. The variety is called Dickinson, the same species as butternut, and Libby's grows it by the thousands of acres around its cannery in Morton, Illinois. Libby's makes about 85% of the canned pumpkin in the country and doesn't hide any of this. Nestle's own harvest release names the variety and says outright that pumpkin is a form of squash.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Demuth said Trump's Big Beautiful Bill was "good for Minnesota." It's not good for anybody when dozens of hospitals in Minnesota are at risk of closing or in financial distress due to Republican Medicaid cuts.

This arch is an insult to military families with loved ones buried at Arlington Cemetery. The fact that Tom Emmer has sat meekly silent is yet another piece of evidence that he cares more about worshipping the President than honoring our fallen servicemembers and their families. When I get to Congress, I'll fight like hell to stop it.
Donald Trump is planning a monstrous 250-foot arch to be built near Arlington National Cemetery. Veterans have a message for him: HELL NO. The "Arc De Trump" is no monument, it's a middle finger to those buried at Arlington. There's still time to stop it. Speak out, file a public comment with the National Capital Planning Commission at [email protected].

Thanks to MN06Watch for this. Until Emmer stops hiding and the media decides to cover the race, this is the only debate you'll get.
We sent both campaigns for Minnesota's 6th Congressional District the same 13 questions on Sept. 3 — taxes, health care, ICE, tariffs, Iran, the SAVE Act, fraud, the farm bill, data centers, abortion, guns, term limits. Every question was tied to a specific vote or bill, so answers could be checked. @ChapinForMN6's campaign answered all 13. His responses are published in full, as received. Rep. @GOPMajorityWhip Tom Emmer's campaign and office did not respond to the questionnaire or the Sept. 18 follow-up. So his column is built from his record: roll-call votes, bills he sponsored, letters he signed, his own transcripts. Where the record answers the question, the cell says so. Where it only supports an inference, the we say that. Where there's nothing, it says "Position cannot be inferred." 36 sub-questions each. Chapin: 36 campaign answers. Emmer: 29 from the record, 4 platform context only, 3 with no position found. Every cell shows its source. Every vote has a roll-call number. Early voting is open. #MN06 #TomEmmer

From Harteau, to Arradondo, to Huffman, to Alexander, to O'Hara, to the current Toddrick, to the next generic chief that says reform stuff, and going way back - the city of Minneapolis has never held these people accountable to any bad or negligent decision or set of policies
pointing out once again that the minneapolis police department have yet to answer these questions on line-by-line budget overspending from 3 months ago. brian o'hara tried getting out of showing up that day, gave no answers. he's gone now, MPD refuse to answer, and frey wants EVEN MORE power to keep staff from having to answer to council isn't strong mayor enough?
