Minnesota student just told me that her dad, who has worked for a Minnesota VA hospital for nearly a decade, recently got a new job within the agency.
They listed him as “probationary” and he was just fired by Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

People don’t give a shit if it's one or two bills.
They care that Republicans are hellbent on cutting the *$6 per day* families get in nutrition assistance and the Medicaid benefits millions of working families rely on to see a doctor.
And for what? To pay for more tax cuts for giant corporations.
We're going to fight this.
Even if we can’t stop it, we sure can make it painful by making sure everyone knows this is a giant grift.
The American people don't care if it's one bill or two.
They care that both versions have the same goal: Cutting their benefits while billionaire corporations make a(nother) fortune from their tax cuts.

I just voted NO to advance Senate Republican's pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. They want to let Elon cut $1 trillion this year alone—those cuts are coming out of SNAP, Medicaid, VA benefits, & more.
Money out of YOUR pocket so BILLIONAIRES get more tax breaks.

Republicans are racing forward with a budget that will raise costs for working families.
People will pay more for food, health care, education, and child care – while Republicans plot more tax cuts for billionaires.
Good riddance. But remember that Trump’s goal is to privatize the Postal Service, DeJoy or not.
When your mail is late or missing, it’s their fault.
Just got this email from a Minnesota producer. These freezes hurt real people, including our farmers.
Republicans need to stand up to Musk, but they won't - they want to see all this money vacuumed up so they can give it to big corporations in the form of tax breaks.
My staff and I are closely monitoring this situation and gathering information. Thank you to all the emergency response teams helping.
My thoughts are with everyone on board and their loved ones.
Despicable beyond words.
Heartbroken for this Minnesotan and our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors seeing news of this disturbing violence.
This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in.
Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.
It's been a day. On my way home Minnesota.
Crazy day — thanks for the pizza @blumenthal.senate.gov 🍕
That has been an inspiration to me every single day that I've served, so I'm grateful for that. And I'm going to spend the next two years figuring out how to thank you all.
So thank you, Minnesota.
At the end of the day, what I am going to miss most about this job isn't the perks and certainly not all of the attention.
It's going to be that feeling that I have from all of you of being invited into your living rooms to hear what's happening in your lives and what that's been like for you.
Second: We have a deep bench of political talent in Minnesota, a group of leaders that are more than ready to pick up the work and carry us forward.
First: I have nearly two full years left in my term, and I plan to use every day working as hard as I can to represent your interests in the Senate and making sure your voices are heard.
(Also, since I don't have to run a re-election campaign, I can focus entirely on this job right now)
This decision is not political, it is entirely personal.
But it's not lost upon me that our country is in need of strong, progressive leadership - right now maybe more than ever.
So there are two things on my mind...
My father is turning 95 this summer, and I'm blessed to have a large extended family of siblings and nieces and nephews.
One of my great joys is to know that I get to spend more time with them, doing sleepovers and helping out from time to time when the kids need me.
