MN Attorney General @KeithEllison on why @PeggyFlanagan is his choice in #MNSEN primary on 8/11:
"I'm friends with both Peggy and Angie but this race is about more than friendships or campaign ads. It's about who has consistently stood with our communities when it mattered most"
The time for status quo politics and incremental change is over.
We need leaders in Congress like Peggy Flanagan who will stand up against the oligarchs and fight for working people. https://t.co/pPaL5vVEmf
Thank you to Julie and her students for letting me join their Music and Movement with our Grandfriends class today in Bemidji!
From delivering affordable childcare to protecting Social Security, I'm running to make sure every family can take care of their loved ones.
Throughout this campaign, you showed what it looks like to fight back against a politics that rigs the system against too many of us. While we have policy disagreements, I never questioned whether you would fight for a better America for my daughters and yours.
The same party insiders you had the courage to challenge have been bullying anyone who opposes their chosen candidate. After spending $30 million to drown you and me out, they’re now spending even more to attack me. It’s everything we are standing up against.
I welcome your supporters to our movement to stand up against money in politics, to put money back in pockets, and pass Medicare for All. We cannot allow the establishment to decide our nominee for us.
Consider Rep. Angie Craig's actual track record:
- Only MN Democrat to vote for the Laken Riley Act, giving ICE unprecedented power (2025)
- Only MN Democrat to vote to praise ICE (2025)
- Only MN Democrat to vote to let Trump make billions off of crypto coins (2025)
Crypto bros and AIPAC want to buy this election. But in Minnesota, organized people beat organized money.
Join me, @BernieSanders, and @TinaSmithMN on Zoom to talk about how together, we're going to organize our way to victory.

Donald Trump has made more than $1 billion (yes, with a B!) from his crypto schemes.
And last year, Angie Craig was the only MN Democrat to vote to let Trump get rich selling crypto coins.
It's just wrong - and we deserve better.
NEW in #MNSEN: Five separate super PACs and secretive dark money groups have already spent *$10 million* on ads for Rep. Angie Craig, including AI deepfake attack ads on her opponent @PeggyFlanagan
What gives? Watch here:
Rep. Angie Craig, days ago: “The most important endorsements to me are the people that I’ve worked with over the last eight years, who know me the best.”
Five of her House colleagues, including 2/3 of the other Dems in the Minnesota delegation, are now supporting @PeggyFlanagan
“Matt Little is our DFL endorsed candidate in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District, and I am pleased to lend my support and endorsement to his campaign. Matt is fighting for our environment, taking on climate change, and seeking solutions to PFAS pollution in Minnesota. Matt Little will take on Trump’s corrupt agenda in Washington on day one. I look forward to working with Matt in the U.S. House next year.” – U.S. Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04)
I’m so grateful to have the endorsement of Congresswoman McCollum!
Congresswoman McCollum has been a force in our state for decades.
She’s a champion for reproductive rights, a defender of our environment, and a voice for the underdog in our politics.
It’s such an honor to have your support, Congresswoman McCollum! Let’s win this–together 🤝
Every Minnesota Democrat voted against the 2025 Trump immigration bill — every one except Rep. Angie Craig.
After what the Trump administration did to our state, it’s never been clearer we need a senator with the same good judgment of Sens. Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar. #MNSEN
Angie Craig says her Senate campaign has not accepted any AIPAC PAC money in an attempt to distance herself from the toxic pro-genocide lobby.
Peggy Flanagan sets the record straight, noting that AIPAC has held over a dozen fundraisers specifically for Craig's Senate campaign, including one at the home of the head of AIPAC.
"AIPAC's candidate is Angie Craig." - @peggyflanagan
#MNSEN
Angie Craig acting like she’s never heard of AIPAC while getting called out for literally hosting fundraisers at places like the home of the head of AIPAC.
Almost as bad as when she said she had to go to the crypto conference with Erik Trump because she’s on the Ag Committee.
Process is the argument you make for not showing up when you were going to lose anyway.
But it's particularly weak this year when thousands of fired up DFLers ran to be delegates for the very first time.
Proud to support @peggyflanagan this weekend at the DFL convention!
🧵 NEWS: Angie Craig has dropped out of seeking the Minnesota DFL Party's endorsement ahead of the DFL convention this weekend. @PeggyFlanagan will be the DFL's nominee for U.S. Senate.
Our campaign's data shows DFLers were on track to support Peggy over Rep. Craig, 75% - 11%.
Today, we learned that Congresswoman Craig would not be joining us at the DFL endorsing convention in Rochester.
If you can’t face your own party, you’re not ready to face a Republican.
I’ll still be working hard to earn your endorsement. I hope to see you there!
No matter what she said about the process, Congresswoman Craig spent months competing for this endorsement because she understood just how significant it is.
Outside groups spent $3 million – at her request – to influence this process. They failed miserably.
The people in charge don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.
Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.
Today's Morning Note newsletter covers Masoud Pezeshkian's condemnation of Trump's “desecration of Jesus,” the Iran War's gutting effects on America's housing market, Colombia's plan to murder Pablo Escobar's hippopotami, and more. Read below.
