The real Peggy Flanagan - no deepfakes necessary.

[Keith Ellison @keithellison]

Nicole's story should be one no family should ever have to live through. I'm grateful for her courage in sharing Alec's story and fighting alongside me so we can make sure no family suffers that loss.

No one should lose someone they love simply because they couldn't afford to take the medicine they need to live.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

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.

[Klemz for House @klemzforhouse]

Here are the platform/action agenda vote totals from the DFL State Convention: https://t.co/L00jUNfEWR

Also Passed:

12 - Data center moratorium
16 - Sulfide mining

And many more ...

[Keith Ellison @keithellison]

Honoring the man convicted of murdering George Floyd the week of the anniversary is frankly shocking. Chauvin was convicted by a jury of his peers and was affirmed through every appeal. It shows cruelty to the Floyd family and disrespect to our courts and all Minnesotans. No one is above the law.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

[Keith Ellison @keithellison]

Proud to officially file for reelection as Minnesota’s Attorney General.

We’ve taken on corporate power, protected our rights, defended working people, and fought for Minnesotans every step of the way.

And together, we’re going to build a Minnesota where we can all afford our lives.

asked how she plans to overcome angie craig’s cash on hand in a primary, peggy flanagan says paul wellstone was outspent 7 to 1

“we’re going to have enough money to win. what congresswoman craig doesn’t have is grassroots organizing,” calling her “out of step and out of touch.”

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders will introduce a bill to have the public take a 50% ownership stake in the country's biggest AI companies.

The American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act would have the government tax AI companies, take 50% of the stock, and put it under public control.

[Minnesota DFL @MinnesotaDFL]

Kendall Qualls credits Trump with “saving” our country, cheered on his tariffs, and celebrates his destructive war in Iran.

Qualls told Minnesotans exactly who he is—a rubber stamp for Donald Trump.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

We spend over $15,000 per capita on healthcare, twice that of other countries.

Yet 85 million people are uninsured or underinsured & 500,000 go bankrupt due to medical debt.

We must not make insurance & drug companies richer.

We must provide healthcare to ALL as a human right.

[Peggy Flanagan @peggyflanagan]

I was thrilled to kick off the first door knock for the DFL-endorsed ticket today in Rochester.

LFG!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

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.

[Peggy Flanagan @peggyflanagan]

Our democracy works best when it accurately reflects everyone it seeks to represent.

I'm proud of my campaign’s work to bring Native delegates into this process.

This year, there were more Native delegates representing our communities at convention than ever before. Howah!

[Donna Cassutt @dcassutt]
