@philiejp @gelliottmorris 2 reasons. 1) No public plan on the marketplace for private insurers to compete with. 2) SCOTUS tossed out the mandate, the pool size is too unpredictable for insurers to set steady rates. The private sector will never fully meet a public need.

Nonunion Laborers tearing up the #WhiteHouse #EastWing for a $200M ballroom while REAL workers are LOCKED OUT, waiting on a paycheck. “Workers first”? Don’t make us laugh.

America's unions will see you in court.

The thing about Bad Bunny is to release the Epstein files.

I proudly wore the uniform.

From one veteran to another, people are tired of this @SecVetAffairs using VA and veterans used as props to settle political scores.

Silencing VA workers doesn’t do anything to help veterans — it just makes it easier to cut staff and services.

@michaelbuck1990 @Ireland_Votes We 35 to 44 folks in pretty much every place on the planet lived through austerity and its effects while we were trying to start careers and families. Anecdotally speaking, and I include myself, a sizable chunk of us are further to the left than we were 20 years ago.

I was reminded why I rarely post here. Wow. What a mfing cesspool.

I can’t imagine the level of hate someone must have in their heart to threaten a government shut down just because they think a fellow human with a different legal status shouldn’t see a doctor when they’re sick, even if it increases healthcare costs for everyone. #mnleg

Happy St. Patrick's Day! #BetterInAUnion

If you're trying to pretend that your party is control of the House, the least you can do is avoid doing anything that even looks like a conflict of interest. https://t.co/LSQENPJGXL

@GeoffDMN Hopefully they don't pull Pat Murphy into this nonsense. He has served under both parties and gives solid, non-partisan advice.

It really says a lot that Republicans couldn't find a judge to administer the oath in this "session." #mnleg

[Samantha Vang @RepSamanthaVang]

Today is the Minnesota nice version of the January 6th riot. Unbelievable. #mnleg

@mbrodkorb I'm happy I can hear what's happening, but what are you supposed to do when the constitutionally designated presiding officer gavels the chamber into adjournment?

[Chris Shields 🖖🏻 @ChrisShields]

@BriannaWu This “Free Palestine Commie Fringe Left Freak” has been knocking on doors for Democrats all fall long. It’s one thing to disagree with a person, but if you’re looking at “getting rid” of people you might be more at home with the MAGA crew.

Ahead of Tuesday’s Vice-Presidential debate, Minnesota’s union members wanted to share a little bit about the @Tim_Walz we know. #BetterInAUnion #UnionsforHarris #UnionsforHarrisWalz

@GeorgeTakei This tweet probably changed zero votes and gave her press with zero effort on her part. All you did was antagonize people we need as allies to pass legislation in the future. Please stop writing cringe tweets like this.

[Minnesota AFL-CIO @MNAFLCIO]

Our Pro-Labor DFL-Majority changed lives for countless working families by simply making school meals free for every public school student. Let’s build on our historic progress by keeping our Pro-Labor Majority in the Minnesota House and Senate. #BetterInAUnion #labor2024 #mnleg

@StephenKing Let me explain this to you carefully. She said this to peacefully protesting Americans trying to lobby their Vice President to help stop a genocide in Palestine. You really think it’s more productive to attack the left than the right? Really? Really?
