Minnesota House DFL

Forever our Speaker ❤️

State Rep. Shelley Buck: ICE and the federal government continue to try to break our bodies, spirits and wills. But my friends, they have failed miserably.

State Rep. Leigh Finke: We know these fascists are bound to lose. And when they are gone in the dustbins of history, your trans, two-spirit, non-binary, queer, immigrant neighbors, we will still be here fighting for our lives.

Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan: They awakened in Minnesota a power that doesn't even exist in Washington, D.C. It exists within each one of us.

Jane Fonda sums up love, nonviolence, and neighbors looking out for one another in one word: Minnesota.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders: In 1789, they said loudly and boldly to the entire world: here in this new nation of America, we don't want kings. And today, in 2026, our message is exactly the same: no more kings.

Saint Paul Mayor Kaohly Her: Trump and Kristi Noem illegally sent thousands of masked, unaccountable agents to occupy our streets for months. And like so many of Donald Trump's other ventures, he failed.

The Boss's message to Minnesota!

Governor Walz: You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion. Radicalized by decency. Radicalized by due process, Radicalized by democracy. And radicalized to do all we can to oppose authoritarianism.

Already a MASSIVE crowd gathered at the Minnesota State Capitol and there’s still *more than an hour* until today’s No Kings rally gets officially underway here in St. Paul. LFG!

A heartbreaking and important moment on the House floor as Rep. Brad Tabke reads a letter he received from a dad who survived the Annunciation shooting last August, in support of Tabke's bill to ban high-capacity magazines:

In February, four Minnesota House Republicans sent a “strongly worded letter” to then-Secretary Kristi Noem asking her to limit ICE activity near schools. Today, all four of them (and every other House Republican) voted AGAINST advancing a bill to do exactly that.

🚨HAPPENING NOW: We’re taking action to advance our bill to keep ICE out of schools in Minnesota. Rep. Sydney Jordan: "This vote is choosing the safety of our kids over a federal agency that lies to us. It’s choosing learning over fear. It's choosing humanity over politics.”

DAMN. Rep. Athena Hollins just gave one of the best speeches of the year: "We're not going to be held hostage by large corporations. I'm tired of people saying that this isn't going to work. Mark Zuckerberg owes us money. This just isn't sustainable."

Happy Agriculture Day, Minnesota! Like @reprickhansen says: we’re proud to stand with small farms in our state, and we’ll keep fighting against corporate monopolization. 🚜🌾

GOP Rep. Mary Franson says she's not worried about climate change because it's not in the Bible: "If you've read the Good Book, you know how it ends, and it's not with climate change." How can we expect Republicans to do serious work when they're so proud about ignoring science?

Corporations should not be allowed to use AI and surveillance data to determine your wages; billionaires and Big Tech already have enough power. We proposed a bill to protect you from this shady practice today, but Republicans sided with corporations - again.

Lawmakers are approaching a key deadline Friday, and DFLers are fighting to advance bills to: ✅Lower costs for energy, health/child care, & more ✅Ban surveillance pricing ✅Keep ICE out of school and hospitals ✅Prevent fraud and protect services ✅Keep safe from gun violence

NEW - The MN House just unanimously passed legislation to repeal Cesar Chavez Day in Minnesota. Rep. María Isa Pérez-Vega: "Our movements are not one person. And we believe women. This is an opportunity to affirm our solidarity with farmers and our belief in women who speak up."

Our teachers are among the best of us. House DFLers are proud to stand with Minnesota’s educators, and we will continue fighting to make sure they have the health care, wages, and support they deserve.

Eid Mubarak, Minnesota! From all of us in the House DFL to our Minnesota Muslim community, we wish you a blessed and joyful Eid al-Fitr.
