Another round of cuts at the U of M, this time 12–15%. Tuition has gone up while state funding has remained flat, and the state’s share of the U’s budget has fallen dramatically over time. Minnesota needs to retake responsibility for funding our public higher education system.

I’m proud the State Fair this year included a drag show. Queer culture also deserves to be seen at the Fair. 🎡🏳️‍🌈 It’s called “The Great Minnesota Get Together.” That means everyone. Period. If someone doesn’t want to watch, they can keep walking. We have the freedom to choose.
“ Fall of the MN State Fair” From years of wholesome family entertainment to….. FAMILY DRAG SHOWS I’m saddened to see the moral collapse of our society! Thank you @AlphaNews! ⁉️ Will #MNmedia join in educating the public on such a widely unpopular decision that the @mnstatefair Board approved…!? #SaveOurState

Excellent and extensive journalism from @jaketapper for @CNN on Op Metro Surge, the Renee Good and Alex Pretti killings and more. Tremendous to have Tapper join us today on his reporting looking back at so much that happened 6 months ago in Minnesota. audacy.com/wccoradio/podcast…

Funding for our public universities has not kept up with inflation over the last 2 decades State funding for the U of M has yet to rebound to 2008 levels. Meanwhile, the U is still the most affordable 4yr in MN for families making >$100K Fund education! news.gallup.com/poll/712748/…

We can disagree about a lot in Minnesota. That’s okay. But everyone deserves to live with dignity and be treated with respect. (And not be vomited at??) I was also in the Pride parade, and it was pretty fun! 🏳️‍🌈

The 2020 election is over. Donald Trump lost. The voters I’ve talked to are more concerned about forward-thinking solutions to make their lives better. Things like affording a home, having good schools to send their kids to, and lowering healthcare costs.

Congressman Emmer’s comments are disturbing & troubling. Why use your platform to grow divisiveness? Native Americans were once told to assimilate. They were put in inhumane boarding schools & many were killed. We value freedom & liberty in the USA. 🇺🇸🗽
Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

Thank you, Betty!
With federal protections for the Boundary Waters gutted, President Trump and Republicans want to start mining in the watershed. I cannot vote for the Interior budget as long as it contains this horrible provision and I will be working to strip it out. startribune.com/bill-to-rest…

A few things: 7 rounds of balloting is different than not showing up 57% of DFL delegates are 1st time delegates—Not “party insiders,” they are everyday Minnesotans Weird to comment about Peggy’s now deceased mom Craig is skipping the forum/debate that would’ve taken place
Like so many other Minnesotans, Peggy once agreed that this process leaves out too many Democrats. We would love to know what changed 👀

Minnesota leading the nation in farm bankruptcies should concern all of us. Skyrocketing fuel and fertilizer costs are hurting farmers and raising grocery prices for families. We have to do better by the people who put food on our tables. minnesotareformer.com/2026/0…
