I’ve conducted 14 focus groups since the debate. Some top lines from the swing voter groups: 1. Almost ALL want Biden to step aside. They don’t think he can do the job for four more years.

Today we are announcing an expanded coalition of 24 members of Congress pressing the Biden administration for a bilateral ceasefire in Gaza on the basis of grave violations of children’s rights. Proud to co-lead with partners @BettyMcCollum04 and @RepMarkPocan.

First Avenue has agreed to voluntarily recognize our Union! This is a testament to the love we have for each other. There’s much more work to do, but our unity will help us make our workplaces better for years to come. We look forward to beginning discussions with First Avenue.

Workers at Minneapolis’ iconic First Avenue clubs are demanding a seat at the table so we can make better workplaces for decades of music to come. We call on the company to recognize our Union!

This seems like it could once again criminalize poor people and those who choose not to purchase houses.

Action alert: Sept. 6: public hearing on a cannabis smoking ban in all city-controlled public spaces. The proposed language is so overly broad, it would outlaw smoking cannabis in virtually all public spaces in Saint Paul – from parks/trails to sidewalks/parking lots, and more.

The top ten states with the worst maternal mortality rates have all passed abortion bans. When people say they care about women and children but don't give them access to high-quality and affordable care—including postpartum care—it's hypocrisy.
