The future we want doesn’t happen by accident. We build it together, one vote at a time. Today, we’re hitting the road with the DFL GOTV Bus Tour to make sure every voice is heard and every community has a say in the future we share. Take a shift. Knock some doors. Let’s build that future together. dfl.org/gotv

Ron Schutz won’t even give Minnesotans a straight answer on if he'd pardon Derek Chauvin. George Floyd’s life mattered. And the pursuit of justice demands that we hold people accountable, no matter how much power they hold. And as the prosecutor who delivered justice, you can trust that I will never use the office to excuse cruelty or let powerful people escape accountability.

Today, in an abhorrent Truth Social post, Donald Trump stoked violence against a sitting governor. Minnesotans know where violent rhetoric like this leads. I'm calling on Michele Tafoya to condemn Trump’s post because violent language like this cannot stand.

Today’s charges send a message to those who would disrupt our elections through deceit at polling places: It’s your constitutional right to make any political point you want, but don’t break our laws to do it.

I think a big reason Trump is so fixated on Minnesota is that he knows his disgusting and dangerous rhetoric is no match for our collective power. And no amount of his desperate tweets will stop us from expressing that power at the polls on November 3. Vote.

This is disgusting and dangerous. Tim Walz is a true public servant, and Trump’s retribution campaign against our state has only united us. Reject Trump hate next week at the ballot box, Minnesotans.

Hey @Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie @Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event. This page is a critical communication tool for reaching Latino voters and mobilizing our community. With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters. We are calling on Meta to immediately restore the page and provide an explanation for its removal. Voters deserve access to critical election information, especially in these final days. @andymstone

During Operation Metro Surge, Lisa Demuth signed a letter thanking ICE and thanking Kristi Noem for her “steady leadership.”

So this is what we’ve come to now? A Muslim can’t serve in the U.S. Senate because he doesn’t share someone else’s religious beliefs? Little do they know how deeply Muslims love and revere Jesus, peace be upon him. And since when did being a Christian become a requirement for holding public office in America?
Moreno says El-Sayed can’t be a senator because he doesn’t understand that Jesus came here for our salvation.

I don’t often post, but this is so wrong. Tim Walz is the teacher everyone wanted, the coach who rallied the team, and the friend you could count on.

Last summer one of my closest friends was murdered in her own home because people hear rhetoric like this, believe it, and act on it. I am begging anyone who reads this: do not become numb to this. It is not ok. It cannot be the new normal.

Trump is desperate. He’s losing. And he’s behaving exactly how you’d expect the most corrupt president in history to behave. Stay focused. We win on Tuesday.

Minnesotans know painfully well where violent rhetoric aimed at elected officials can lead. Trump's comments aren't politics as usual - they're dangerous. On Tuesday, I hope you'll join me in standing up to Trump's war on Minnesotans at the ballot box.

Skip has been a longtime friend, and I’m honored to have his endorsement. As a former Minnesota Attorney General, he knows the importance of this office and the responsibility it carries to stand up for Minnesotans and help them afford their lives.

Shocking stuff from the Washington Post: Michele Tafoya publicly attacked a woman who experienced a miscarriage, calling her an “attention seeking drama queen” who “was not tough enough.” “In an interview, Guerrero said Tafoya, whom she had never met, did not contact her before or after making the remarks.” washingtonpost.com/politics/…

If your vote didn't count, Trump wouldn't be trying to stop you from voting. If your vote didn't count, people wouldn't have given their lives for your freedom to vote. Voting is incredibly powerful. So Minnesota, get out and vote.

New low for the Demuth camp. They put out an op-ed by Rep. Dawn Gillman in a futile attempt to discredit Nicole Smith-Holt about INSULIN affordability. Who do you trust more- Nicole Smith-Holt, or a state rep who wasn't even in the legislature when Alec's Law was passed?

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

I'm standing up to Trump because he's breaking the law and harming the people of Minnesota. And because, to be frank, it pisses me off to see someone trying to bully Minnesotans.

Every GOP member of the legislature voted no on banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Lisa Demuth didn’t even let it come up for a vote in the House. Elections matter. Let’s vote this fall for common sense gun safety.
We can’t allow for another Annunciation to happen & be left wondering, could we have done something to prevent this? Yes, it starts with voting. Minnesotans want and deserve change & we’re fighting to keep us safe. It’s extreme to do nothing while lives are at stake. Vote Nov 3.
