Principles First MN

Minnesota branch of @Principles_1st. A grassroots effort to rediscover and champion principles in the 21st century.

[Pat Garofalo 🇺🇸 @PatGarofalo]

In Minnesota it is pretty clear that the biggest liability for both political parties is their respective left wing and right wing fringes. The fanatics reinforce negative stereotypes about the normal people in each party.

People are sick of crazy and just want normal.

[Principles First @Principles_1st]

Political rhetoric, mail-in voting double standards, and the state of our elections. @_Britt_Martinez & @JoshGillespiePF break it all down on a new Principally Speaking.

There is no stupid fight that Trump 2.0 won't pick. Hutchinson spoke at our Principles First Summit a few years back and was very poised. It was also clear that all the drama had taken a personal toll too, sadly

In honor of 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, members of our New Jersey state chapter volunteered at the Somerset Food Bank.

Proud to see our members putting service into action.

The free market knows better than the federal government what bonds are worth.

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said the free market is mispricing long-term bond yields. So he wants to use the superior judgment and power of central government planners to correct the mistakes of capitalism. Good thing we didn't elect a Democratic Socialist president.

Trump: "We're taking a lot of oil from Venezuela -- billions and billions of barrels of oil. To the victor belong the spoils."

[Principles First @Principles_1st]

Democracy isn’t inherited. It’s renewed by every generation.

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, we’re committed to strengthening the institutions, communities, and civic culture that will carry us into the next 250.

Happy Fourth of July!

[Principles First @Principles_1st]

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th, we’re thinking about the next 250 years.

Strong democracies depend on engaged citizens, healthy institutions, and communities willing to do the work.

That’s the work ahead. Join us: https://t.co/U2HxXZX106

You don’t have to like every state’s election laws. But if a state adopts them lawfully, courts shouldn’t rewrite them.

Today’s Supreme Court decision reaffirmed a basic constitutional principle: states have the authority to administer elections under their own laws. That’s federalism. That’s limited government.

[Principles First @Principles_1st]

The Constitution cannot be rewritten by executive order.

Today’s Supreme Court decision reaffirms a fundamental principle: constitutional rights may be changed only through the constitutional process — not by presidential decree.

[Principles First @Principles_1st]

"It's such a waste of taxpayer money...how much more money is it going to cost to fix an issue that didn't exist in the first place. He can't fix the algae so he's threatening handcuffs."

Our Executive Director, @_Britt_Martinez was on @weeknightmsnow last night talking about the Reflecting Pool scandal.

[Principles First MN @Principles1stMN]

Elected officials who are respectful and gracious to others should be a bare minimum qualification for office.

[Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon]

It’s easy to forget that this kind of gracious rhetoric was once standard and expected for Presidents of both parties.

[Principles First @Principles_1st]

Thanks to everyone who came out to our event tonight in Minnesota!
