MN did not fall for it during Operation Metro surge, MN did not fall for it in November, let's live our values and care for our neighbors...why? Because WE ARE Minnesotans.

Once again, you pay more and get less while wealthy big companies make more money and your wallet gets lighter. Pro big business, anti-American citizen. In MN we disagree that Big Businesses should harm citizens with impunity. It is important our policy match our values and protect people, not record breaking profits.

We need to be discussing options to expand access to preventative primary care or frankly access to care only. We need a plan that is NOT - no plan, no healthcare for regular folks and higher costs for those left in a system that means we get pay more and get less.

Congress timed many federal cuts in need HR1 (aka the big beautiful bill) to happen right after the election in hopes to allow regular citizens to keep voting for more of the same before realizing these policies hurt their wallet and their livelihood. These cuts will make balancing state budgets very challenging for state lawmakers. Some cuts literally starve citizens on food assistance, that primarily impacts low income seniors, military veterans, children and those with disabilities. The point was to starve government programs that impact average or poor families, increasing poverty, while reduce government that aids it's people to allow wealthy corporations and wealthy Americans to not pay their fair share and you foot the bill. It's cruel, and it's un-American, but moreover it is not how Minnesotans operate. We care for our neighbors, maintain clean air and water, roads and bridges and provide service for those who need it because it is the right thing to do and because almost every MN family will need help. Whether it's food assistance, time off to have a baby or heal from cancer, help if you lost your job, a way to pay for college so your kids have a good start in life or maybe federal loans to buy your first house. Government services from public schools, public libraries and even delivering you mail make our country and our state work for businesses and families alike.

He makes a good point on why perhaps it is time to explore a variety of options to care for one another in a way that makes sense. Food for thought.

More than 2.8 million Minnesotans voted in Tuesday’s election, setting a state record for midterm participation, according to unofficial results released Wednesday by Secretary of State Steve Simon’s office.

The total surpassed the previous record set in 2018. Minnesota is also projected to lead the nation in voter participation rate, based on preliminary estimates from the University of Florida Election Lab.
