Thanks to the hard work of HF3 author, @emmagreenman, The Democracy For the People Act passed tonight.
The People’s House is in good hands!
Thank you to the Minnesota voters who trusted us to get this important work done. #MNProud#MNCapitol#BeAVoter#Democracy
House passes "Democracy for All" bill on a straight party line vote, with 70 Dems voting green and 57 Republicans voting red. The bill includes auto voter registration, preregistration for 16- and 17-year-olds, campaign finance transparency reforms..
Today I had the distinct honor of bearing witness as @GovTimWalz signed Driver’s Licenses for All, a bill I’ve worked on for a decade.
This time, I had a great partner in @ZaynabMMohamed, a co-chief author on the bill. After 20 years of waiting, we got it done — together.
Hate when that happens. I was attacked and screamed at in 2018 by an insane woman named Marjorie Taylor Greene. She had no respect for the privacy of me as an 18 year old school shooting survivor or my staff.
She was self righteous, insane, and completely out of control.
BREAKING: #mnleg has restored the vote to 1000s of Minnesotans who can now fully contribute to making our communities stronger, more connected, and safer for all of us. I first proposed this bill 20 yrs ago. Deeply gratified for all the hard work that led to this historic moment.
Undocumented Minnesotans have been asking us to pass Driver’s Licenses for All for 20 years.
There have been hunger strikes, people have slept outside the Senate chamber, and others have camped on the Capitol lawn. All for this moment.
WE DID IT! #SíSePudo
And don’t bother telling me it’s too early to “politicize” the Michigan State University mass shooting. In a nation that allows gun lobbyists to write our gun laws, shootings are always political. Prayers without action aren’t fixing this. ACT. #michiganstate
From abroad, the mass shootings in the US seem like a preventable illness. Two friends in the UK independently told me “if Americans don’t want to fix the problem, I can’t feel sorry for them.” It gave me pause.
African American history and its extraordinary value will not be erased by FL Gov. Ron DeSantis or ANYONE! If DeSantis continues down this misguided path of censorship, we will have no choice but to take legal action! #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory
By refusing to seat Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar on their committees while seating compulsive liar and conman George Santos and bowing and scraping to compulsive liar and conman Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy has shown America exactly what he believes in: nothing.
"If it hasn’t happened to you where you live, I am sad to tell you that it is coming. Because this is America, and gun violence is out of control." - @MomsDemand founder @shannonrwatts
More grief and suffering from California, with 7 people felled in the Half Moon Bay massacre. What kind of country are we going to be? This is a national emergency and Congress must act this week.
