As we celebrate today’s Supreme Court decision, remember that the Trump administration put in place a rule that erases health protections for trans people.
Three days ago.
I laid flowers at George Floyd’s memorial this morning. As a former high school history teacher, I looked up at the mural of George’s face painted above and I reflected on what his death will mean for future generations.
George Floyd died from actions by Minneapolis police. But in a two page letter to members, Federation Pres Bob Kroll does not even meantion it. Wonder why people are angry?! We have some very courageous cops but you must now stand up to your leader jeopardizing all our safety.
THREAD: Over the weekend, the Administration chose to defund the World Health Organization in the middle of the worst pandemic our nation & our world has seen in a century. This choice harms families & children around the globe. (1/2)
Outrage from D.C. Episcopal bishop: “I was not given even a courtesy call that they would be clearing with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop, holding a Bible, one that declares that God is love and when everything he has said & done is to enflame violence."
If most people, particularly people of color, had done what a police officer did late Monday, they’d already be behind bars.
That’s why today I’m calling on Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman to charge the arresting officer in this case.
When Barack Obama was President, you turned the volume up on the TV when he spoke so your kids could listen.
We can't do that with the current President.
But I'm thankful President Obama can still give words of wisdom to guide the next generation (and all of us!) on our path.
The @mnhealth guidance to #StaySafeMN:
1. Wear a mask
2. Get tested if you aren’t feeling well
3. Stay home if you are sick
4. Wash your hands
5. Don’t gather in groups larger than 10
We’re counting on Minnesotans to make smart choices to protect people in their lives.
Today @ewarren and I are introducing the COVID-19 Testing Inventory Act. Right now, there’s a lack of transparency when it comes to how many coronavirus tests we have & how to get access to tests. We can only fight this pandemic if we have the data we need. This is urgent.

FRIENDS, WE MUST SUPPORT GOVERNOR WHITMER! PLEASE RE-TWEET!
My blood just ran cold listening to Dr. Bright testify about N95 masks. All of this is a horror show; however as an ICU nurse, this is devestating to learn. I have never felt this level of rage. And disgust.
I’m headed back to Washington ahead of tomorrow's vote on the HEROES Act. It’s vital that we do everything we can to help our small businesses, state and local governments and family farmers.
States, cities and counties have reduced resources and increased costs. We must work together to provide assistance to our state and local governments so they can continue their essential work. I'm pleased that the HEROES Act would provide necessary support for first responders.
