Thankfully, the City of Minneapolis and Minnesota state leaders continue to stand on the side of justice. The state-negotiated consent decree remains in place to continue working toward meaningful reform.
This decree was based on the DOJ's own investigation, which found a pattern of unconstitutional and discriminatory policing practices that have hurt our community, especially Black and Native American people and people will mental illness, for decades. Abandoning it is deeply disturbing.
It’s especially painful that this decision comes on the eve of the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder — the very tragedy that sparked this investigation and the urgent push for reform. Walking away from this agreement, after confirming the need for it, is unconscionable.

Why do Republicans only talk about fiscal responsibility when it’s about paying for Medicaid and SNAP which helps regular Americans, but not when it’s about giving giant tax breaks to corporations? Seriously hypocritical.
If you talk to a lot of rural hospitals they’ll tell you the same thing: They can’t afford to keep their doors open if that happens. Many of them will close, and that hurts everyone – not just the folks who rely on Medicaid.
Rural hospitals are already squeezed – they can't afford to give out care without some form of payment from insurance companies. So, when our neighbors show up to the ER for care, and they don’t have Medicaid anymore, the hospital has to foot the bill.
I visit rural hospitals all the time. The Republican health care cuts won't just hurt them – they'll force them to close their doors. Patients will lose health insurance, skip getting care because they can't afford it, and then end up in the ER when it becomes too serious to ignore.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect
Just like I thought. In the dead of night (on a Sunday no less) Republicans demanded to kick MORE people off their health insurance FASTER, because their previous proposal didn’t go far enough.
Can't wait to hear the political spin they're going to put on kicking 13 million people off their health insurance. To think this is their "moderate" proposal would be laughable if it wasn't so harmful.

Republicans are scheduling votes in the DEAD OF NIGHT on Trump's "big, beautiful bill." They advanced their bill last night at 10:30PM. The next vote is scheduled for 1AM on Wednesday. Why hide? Maybe because this bill rips away health care from babies, new moms, and seniors.

A whopping 76 percent oppose significant cuts to Medicaid. The tax bill that Republicans ultimately pass — public opinion be damned — will make life more difficult for millions of low-income Americans. Here’s everything you need to know ⤵️
There's a lot going on in the world at the moment... and how's the Senate spending its time? We're voting on Jared Kushner’s dad (a convicted felon who Trump pardoned) to be Ambassador to France, sending a billionaire convicted felon (and relative) to serve as a top diplomat.
To our friend Joe Biden — Archie and I wish you the best as you take care of yourself. Many families deal with cancer, and you have done so much to help them. Now we can support you and yours.
Republicans’ big beautiful bill sure is beautiful if you’re a millionaire. Not so much when you make 50k a year and you end up with LESS money in your pocket.

G.O.P. Tax Bill May Hurt the Lowest Earners and Help the Richest Even though most Americans may see lower taxes, Republicans' spending cuts could outweigh those benefits and leave some worse off.
I’m grateful to everyone who is putting themselves on the line to protect lives and land. In the face of loss and uncertainty, Minnesotans always show up for one another, and I know we’ll get through this together.

These guys should have to look their constituents in the eye and say: You don’t deserve health care as much as Elon Musk deserves a tax break. Instead they’ll run and hide from their pissed off constituents like cowards while millions are kicked off of their health insurance.
