Laken Riley Act is totally unconstitutional and allows ICE to detain people without cause. It’s basically legalized racial profiling and brutalization.
Minnesota, of course, hosted the ICE murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Craig is losing by 15+ in polls
Rep. Angie Craig brags about voting with Tom Emmer 45% of the time - and gave him a big hug today?
I guess she only picks fights with him when C-SPAN is rolling...
🧵HUGE in #MNSEN: New polling shows LG Peggy Flanagan up 17 pts over Rep. Angie Craig
Flanagan 55%
Craig 38%
Und 7%
@PeggyFlanagan was +13 pts (49%-36%) in January. She has not only withstood $4 MILLION in super PAC spending against her - she’s expanded her lead.
In every corner of Minnesota, folks are demanding leaders who are ready to take on the status quo and meet this moment.
I'm honored that so many Minnesotans would put their faith in me to fight for them in the U.S. Senate.
.@SenTinaSmith and her office have worked around the clock to get justice for our immigrant neighbors who were harassed and detained during Operation Metro Surge.
I'm so glad that she was able to get Andrea released from ICE detention. Welcome home. 💚
A super PAC recently ran an ad featuring an AI-generated deep fake of Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan.
It's shameful and the ad should be taken off the air immediately.
The super PAC's use of dark money to mislead Minnesota voters is exactly why we need campaign finance reform. #MNSen
🚨 NEW: Angie Craig super PAC uses AI deepfake TV ad to attack DFL-endorsed Senate candidate
@peggyflanagan
The MN legislature voted nearly unanimously to ban deepfakes in political ads. It’s appalling that Rep. Craig stands by this slimy, possibly illegal GOP tactic.
Today, you might see a TV ad starring something that... kind of looks like me.
My opponent's super PAC is using an AI deepfake of me to mislead voters. They can't win with the truth - so they're resorting to lies.
It's disgusting. Minnesotans deserve better.
Congresswoman Craig asked for 3 debates: One televised debate, one radio debate, and one at Farmfest.
I'm glad our campaigns could agree to those three debates. The contrast in this race is clear, and I'm excited to make my case to Minnesotans.
Friendly reminder that @AngieCraigMN had the perfect opportunity to not only debate Peggy Flanagan, but potentially sway the most active and passionate members of the Party this past Saturday.
She skipped.
Who’s really afraid of debating, hm?
Peggy agreed to everything Rep. Craig wanted: a TV debate (6/19 on TPT), a radio debate (MPR, Craig won't agree to a date), and a debate at FarmFest.
Since then, the state party has endorsed Peggy over Rep. Craig. She's down by double digits in the polls w/ no campaign message.
On May 1st, we confirmed with MPR that I would debate on their statewide program. We're still waiting on your response, Congresswoman. I hope you'll join me.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on the TPT Almanac couch and at Farmfest.
I’ve always said that Democrats can’t just fight Trump; we need to fight FOR something.
That’s why I’m proud to stand with Peggy Flanagan, who understands what this moment requires. Glad to see that the @MinnesotaDFL agrees!
If you have 20 minutes, watch @peggyflanagan’s entire speech to Minnesota Democrats.
I have worked for a lot of people, and this is my 4th U.S. Senate campaign. I have never seen someone connect with an audience like Peggy does. She’s incredible.

Congratulations to @peggyflanagan on winning the Minnesota DFL’s endorsement for U.S. Senate by an overwhelming majority.
Minnesotans, and all Americans, are ready for leaders who will take on the billionaire class and fight for working families.
Congratulations to Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan on winning the DFL Endorsement here in Rochester!
As you all know, the DFL endorsement means a lot to me. It’s how I got my start, with no money and no network. If you want to keep corporate PAC and lobbyist money out of politics, this is how we do it.
The DFL endorsement is a truly grassroots democratic process that lets anyone, from anywhere, have a fair shot and a voice in saving our country.
That’s what makes this DFL endorsement process so vital to our democracy. Congrats, Peggy! @peggyflanagan
I'm so grateful to every member of Team Peggy.
This movement belongs to all of us who are ready for a country that works for everyone, not just billionaires and corporations.
And we're just getting started.
