We can & must stop the gun violence epidemic.

Commentary worth reading - from Karen Tolkkinen

A fifth of MN families are food insecure. One in five!

None of Trump's executive orders "have addressed hunger in rural America or the price of food. Instead, he has belittled transgender people..."

So tragic.

Inflammatory Trump campaign press release?

Unfortunately, no. It's an official order from Trump’s budget director.

Its impact? That’s unclear. Much may be ruled illegal or unconstitutional. Even the administration was unclear about what they want covered. (1/3)
