Out of their Social Security. Out of Medicare and Medicaid. Out of the Treasury. Out of the NIH. Out of the Postal Service. Out of it all. He’s already done so much harm to people, he needs to go.

BREAKING: The Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for testing milk and other dairy products. The agency is citing reduced capacity. It has 20,000 fewer employees as a result of the DOGE cuts under Trump and Musk.
It was clear from the start that Hegseth was incompetent, and his incompetence would make all of us less safe. Especially those that serve in the military. The question is when will Republicans finally call for him to be gone.
Deeply saddened by the passing of Pope Francis today. He inspired all of us with his selflessness, humility and service to the world’s poorest and most marginalized. Archie and I are keeping Catholic Minnesotans in our thoughts today. May he rest in peace.
These guys do this kind of thing because they’re so rich they couldn’t even fathom needing help to keep the heat on, and if it doesn’t benefit them, it needs to be cut. It got down to -35 in International Falls this winter.
Trump admin budget document calls for the elimination of LIHEAP -- which helps low-income Americans heat and cool their homes thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5255650-trump-administration-considering-low-income-home-energy-assistance-program-elimination/
The Lindbo’s are just one family out of tens of thousands in Minnesota who rely on Medical Assistance to get the care they need. We should be making Medicaid work better, not kicking people off of it by cutting its funding.
Housing is one of the most important parts of your life. Without it, nothing - from your health care to your education - works. Ten organizations across the state will now have the resources to continue their work for Minnesotans in underserved areas.
We could all use some good news these days, and I’m happy to share it. Key HUD funding which helps boost housing supply, support small businesses, and strengthen our workforce, was stalled by Trump/Musk. But after grassroots organizing + support all across the country, that funding was restored.
And it’s not just this CNA — this Administration is just leaving workers with offers in a state of limbo, and in this economy, not knowing if you’re going to get hired for months isn’t an option for a lot of families.
You’d be hard pressed to find ANY hospital that isn’t in need of a CNA, but apparently vets had to wait until Musk deemed this worker worthy.
A nursing assistant at the VA had their offer rescinded, then restored, then paused, until finally being hired after months of back and forth because of this Administration.
Only ¼ of eligible families currently get vouchers to help cover their rent. A lot of these families could become homeless or be put on the brink of homelessness if we cut Section 8 funding. Just a cruel move that will only make the housing crisis worse and harm millions of families.
NEW: The White House is preparing a budget that could include deep cuts to federal housing funds, and a reconfiguration of housing vouchers/Section 8 that may result in low-income families losing aid. Many told me the details are hazy, but the result is fewer dollars www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...
I’ve been in real world Minnesota today hearing how Trump cuts to Medicaid will shut down rural hospitals. So pardon me if I don’t have patience with JD Vance trying to change the subject.
@JDVance: None of these people can articulate a deportation standard that:
1) would satisfy left-wing critics of the administration's immigration policy;
2) would satisfy their intuitions about what "due process" is required;
3) would be workable given resource constraints; and
4) would permit deportation of most of the illegal immigrants allowed under Joe Biden's administration.
They want to nullify the results of a democratic election. It's that simple.
