MN is short over 100,000 homes, incl. affordable housing, dignified housing, & homes that a Minnesotan earning an average wage can rent/buy.
To solve this, we need multiple approaches:
-supply ⬆️
-public/social housing 💰
Mpls shows a path. Now, let's go statewide.

Now more than ever is the time to get your sambusa or taco fix and support our immigrant-owned businesses!
Federal attacks on our immigrant community have instilled fear, reduced business traffic, and have put vibrant businesses at risk.
WE have power to help keep them afloat.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.
