Shout out to @ktbriggs.bsky.social for being the BEST legislative assistant! He raised the bar for the role, esp as we got to nerd out on transit. I thanked him for his work w/ a cake featuring @metrotransitmn.bsky.social metro lines. I wish him the best @ his next stop as a MNDOT transpo planner!

What a great day to celebrate infrastructure improvement funds for Berger Fountain! Honored to have helped shepherd the $1.8 million in investments for our community. #mnleg
HCMC will continue to serve patients because of @aishagomez.bsky.social & Rep. Agbaje in the House. These representatives are the heroes of the MN legislature in brokering a solution for this critical Minnesota hospital. It also would not have happened but for the advocacy of @hennepind2.com. ♥️🙏♥️
It’s happening!
We’re passing a bonding bill for the first time in several years. Funding is included for the following in 61a:
- Berger Fountain
- Bridge for Youth - homeless youth shelter
- St David’s Center- early childhood education, mental health, pediatric therapy
There is a rumor that the MN legislative deal involves significant cuts to LGA (local government aid).
That is untrue.
This line item is essentially the tax bill involving federal conformity and temporary corporate tax credit trades we had to make with the GOP to get the deal done.
House DFL sit in for action on gun violence continues (new live link): www.instagram.com/mnhousedfl/l...
Speaker Demuth has put the gun violence prevention bill in a drawer. House DFLers are holding a sit-in in protest. See the live stream here: www.instagram.com/mnhousedfl/l...
Minnesotans deserve transparency.
A vote on Sen Mohamed’s gun violence prevention package would let the people know where their reps stand on reducing gun violence in our state.

🚨APPALLING: Minnesota Republicans are literally hiding legislation in a desk drawer to prevent it from coming up for a vote.
One of Speaker Lisa Demuth's deputies just admitted that he was "instructed not to report" a bill banning assault weapons/high-capacity magazines the Senate already passed.
