Forever our Speaker ❤️

Today marks one year since Melissa and Mark Hortman were killed in a horrific act of political violence.

Both of them, along with their dog Gilbert, lived lives defined by their service to others.

We miss them every day. May we all work to honor their legacy.

[Zack Stephenson @zackstephenson]

Melissa Hortman, along with Mark and Gilbert, all lived lives of incredible service.

As the anniversary of their assassination approaches, may we remember them, honor them, and continue the work that they devoted their lives to.

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

This year has been hard without Melissa. But we can take comfort and inspiration in her legacy as a model of the Minnesotan civic spirit.

She dedicated her life to helping her neighbors. I'm better for having known her. Minnesota is better because of her. https://t.co/vIjT2YSpdL

Sunday marks one year since the assassination of Melissa and Mark Hortman, along with their dog Gilbert.

The Saint Paul City Council just unanimously passed a resolution honoring their lives and legacy.

The city has proclaimed Sunday ‘Mark, Melissa, and Gilbert Hortman Day.' 💚

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave Minnesotans who have lost their lives in defense of this country.

May we continue building a nation worthy of their sacrifice.

The legacy of Minnesota House Republicans: “Pharmaceutical lobbyists can pop the champagne.”

If the GOP is fighting for the interests of Big Pharma, they probably aren't fighting for you.

And the Minnesota House is adjourned sine die.

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

Last night, the House passed a major DFL anti-fraud bill that:

✅Hires more investigators and prosecutors to fight Medicaid fraud
✅Stiffens penalties and makes it easier to prosecute fraudsters
✅Unlocks a 3-to-1 federal funding match for anti-fraud efforts

A six-year-old who was shot and wounded at Annunciation is now struggling with long-term health effects from the bullet shrapnel inside his body:

“Lead poisoning from a bullet from a school shooting.

That is a story that would only happen in America. Happy 250th anniversary."

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

Hard to overstate the volume and energy of this crowd outside the House chamber, as supporters have been chanting and cheering for nearly 2 hours.

We are so proud to stand with these Minnesotans. All we’re asking for is a fair vote. Why is that something the GOP is so scared of?

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

37 hours straight on the House floor.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Thank you @mnhouseDFL. This is how it is done. Use every ounce of your power to create a safer world for our kids.

Speaker Demuth hold the vote.

[Rep. Betty McCollum @BettyMcCollum04]

Minnesotans deserve action on legislation to get dangerous weapons off our streets. I stand with @mnhouseDFL legislators who are demanding that Speaker Demuth hold a vote.

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

Thank you, Congresswoman!

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

Once again, Republicans have chosen the gun lobby over the safety and lives of Minnesotans.

We aren’t done fighting. Not at all. But every Minnesotan deserves to know that every Republican just blocked comprehensive gun safety legislation.

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

.@SenTinaSmith has arrived at the Minnesota Capitol to meet with families from the Annunciation shooting and stand in support of gun violence prevention legislation that Republicans are currently blocking on the House floor.

It’s time to hold the vote.

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

Minnesota's largest safety-net hospital is at risk of shutting down as early as next month.

The closure of Hennepin County Medical Center would be a catastrophe for the entire state, especially rural Minnesota.

We're taking action at the Capitol to make sure HCMC can stay open.

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

The most depressing, anxiety-inducing administration of all time wants to take away medication to treat depression and anxiety.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

New reporting reveals RFK Jr. is exploring banning certain SSRIs, potentially barring drugs like Zoloft, Prozac and Lexapro.

Decades of research shows SSRIs are safe and effective.

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

🚨Minnesota Republicans are literally hiding legislation in a desk drawer to prevent it coming up for a vote.

One of Speaker Demuth's deputies just admitted he was "instructed not to report" a bill banning assault weapons/high-capacity magazines that the Senate already passed.
