Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

Two years ago today I signed a bill making Minnesota the first state to codify abortion rights after the fall of Roe v. Wade.
Politicians across the nation turned back the clock on reproductive rights. But here in Minnesota, we trust people to make their own decisions.

Breaking news: The Justice Department said it will roll back Biden-era efforts to criminally charge demonstrators who interfere with patient access to reproductive health clinics, calling those prosecutions an example of the “weaponization” of law enforcement.
Justice Dept. to cut back prosecution of abortion clinic protest cases
The change reflects President Donald Trump’s position that abortion clinic protesters have been unfairly prosecuted under the FACE Act.

Boston broke a record last year for fewest homicides. It’s on track to do it again.
As of Dec. 10, Boston has reported just 22 homicides – a little over half of the 40 it had just two years ago.

some people really try to make housing policy more complicated than it needs to be, when the crux is actually quite simple:
if you make it easier to build more housing (through financing, zoning, building codes, etc.), more homes will be built and rents will go down

Finished reading Senator Warren's book 'Persist'. Always had an appreciation for how she makes policy personal. If you followed her 2020 campaign for President a lot of the stories in the book will be familiar, but still a great read. Glad we're sending her back to the Senate 🙌🏼
