Next Monday, we will finish the work of the 2025 legislative session. In addition to balancing the budget, DFLers successfully protected nearly all of our 2023 accomplishments, and we will continue to fight for a future where everyone can get ahead – not just billionaires and big corporations.

George Floyd's life mattered & he should still be alive today. After George Floyd was brutally murdered, the House DFL, led by members of the People of Color & Indigenous Caucus, took action to reform policing, protect civil rights & fight for racial justice.

The plan in motion from Donald Trump & his GOP allies in Congress to slash Medicaid & SNAP would be devastating for Minnesotans. We are going to keep standing up to fight cuts that will lead to fewer people getting the care they need & more people going hungry.

Fitting that during Teacher Appreciation Week, we learn that Minnesota’s graduation rates are at their highest level ever. There’s more work to do, but this is evidence that investing in our students, educators, and schools is working. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...
