Today’s the day! ❌👑
We're coming together to show we will NOT roll over while our freedoms are threatened.
If President Trump thinks we’ll stay silent while he tries to control our freedoms, he’s mistaken.
Find an event near you and show up. 👇 mobilize.us/commoncause/map/…

Minnesota Senate adopts this rule change to allow children on the floor (that includes an amendment to cover staff too).
Vote was 41-25.
It was a push of two moms with young children. Minnesota House allows for similar exceptions. #mnleg
Minnesota Senate Rules Committee last week passed a rule change to allow members to bring their child on the floor (and allow them to drink milk/formula)
DFL Sen. Clare Oumou Verbeten pushed for it bc she has a newborn. GOP Sen. Julia Coleman voted w/ Dems to advance it. #mnleg

.@CommonCause has people on the ground in MN and other communities where ICE, CBP, and DHS actions have violated people’s rights. We’re ready to work with members on both sides of the aisle to help identify witnesses and support oversight, transparency, and accountability.

The midterms are coming—and the noise is about to get loud.
But the biggest threats to fair elections and accountability aren’t always in the headlines.

Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman will lie in state at Minnesota Capitol this Friday with her husband Mark & their beloved golden retriever Gilbert, who was also killed during the tragic shootings.
She’s the first woman and one of fewer than 20 Minnesotans to lie in state.

Honoring the Hortmans
Sophie and Colin Hortman put out a list of seven ways people could honor their parents, so I set out to fulfill all of them in one day. And we found a surprise 8th to wrap it up.
Hopefully a little light in dark days, from @FOX9

This story from @mlahammer seems especially relevant now looking back at an early breakout moment in the career of Melissa Hortman. We will be focusing more on the enduring legacy of Speaker Emerita Hortman this Friday evening on Almanac.

This is correct. The effort to politicize today's events is reprehensible.
Yes. Rhetoric is heated.
But nobody I work alongside at the capitol wants to see their colleagues dead.
I'd rather argue than attend a funeral.

This is a very dark day for our state. In this country we must settle our differences with arguments and votes, not violence. Please continue to pray for the Hortman and Hoffman families, for our public servants, and our state.
Violence and fear will not prevail.

We knew Elon Musk would use his money and influence to make decisions that hurt everyday Americans.
He can not be trusted. #FireElonMusk immediately!
