Permanently ban this type of mining (copper-nickel) on state lands in the watershed of the BWCA. We can do that by passing Sandra Feist and my bill (HF329/SF167) into law.

Thank you so much for the recognition of our partnership this past #mnleg session on advancing the intersecting interests of nurses and patients at the Capitol. There is more work to be done and I look forward to another year of collaboration with Minnesota Nurses!

Thanks for inviting me to this great event! It's good to see so many local leaders committed to combatting wage theft.

Proud to have served as Vice Chair of the Public Safety Committee in the House. As described in detail here, we achieved so much and I can't wait for the next #mnleg session to build upon these investments & reforms to continue to enhance public safety in MN.

Big support for Jen Schultz for Congress MN08 from her former colleagues in the state legislature! We know how effective she is and what a great representative of #CD8 she will be. #SchultzForCongress

I'm incredibly honored by this recognition! I look forward to an ongoing partnership with the Minnesota Nurses Association to advance legislation that supports nurses and patients across Minnesota!

Such a great discussion of the power of youth restorative justice! Thanks for sharing your expertise with MPR and with me as we worked together to develop the legislation that passed last #mnleg session to create an Office of Restorative Practices & grants.

Wow, U.S. Department of Labor. Truly embarrassing. Your role to address workforce shortages through the green card process is essential, but apparently, there is literally no desire to play your part in this process. I'm speechless at this willful irresponsibility. President Biden

Another fabulous #NerdCaucus ! So grateful to be serving in the #mnleg with fellow nerds, and to be serving a community that appreciates our nerdiness for what it represents - optimism, brains, heart & perseverance against the odds. #NerdCaucus

We recently hosted a “How to Sell a Haunted House” book club, with “Pizza Chinese” cuisine and creepy dolls. It was unsettlingly like we were living the novel. Thanks Grady Hendrix, for your unsettling novels! #Pupkin4Ever

It was great to celebrate as we pivot from vision, advocacy and legislation to implementation. So proud of all we achieved to support children and families. Stay tuned for the creation of the new Office of Restorative Practices, which will expand youth restorative justice in MN.

Short explanation of this article: The President Biden admin. is needlessly hobbling legal - yes legal - immigration when they have the tools to address the calamitous delays on green cards created by our atrophied immigration laws. The economic & human toll of this inaction is immense.

Great article! 'When we discuss immigration reform and the importance of immigration in the United States, the economic impact of immigrants cannot be omitted.' thinkimmigration.org/blog/2023/07/2…

A great overview of the transformative bill I chief authored with Judy Seeberger in the Senate to address historic underinvestment in community supervision in MN. These reforms/investments will support a more effective, cost-effective, just system. #mnleg csgjusticecenter.org/2023/06/27/exp…

Nearly two years later, we still haven’t kept our promise to our #AfghanAllies . I join AILA in urging Congress to act now and pass the #AfghanAdjustmentAct : ctt.ec/0yKcm+

Such a great opportunity to talk with other Midwestern legislators about big picture legislative trends. Also, a great opportunity for karaoke with #mnleg colleagues!

Such a great time - this convening of geeks to talk politics warmed my heart. While differences of opinion are inherent in politics, if we can all come together in agreement that The Lord of the Rings is awesome, then I have hope for the future. #mnleg #NerdCaucus

A great opportunity for a mid-conference field trip!

A great discussion of my bill that changes the definition of gross misdemeanor by one day that has a HUGE impact on immigrants in MN. Sometimes big changes come in subtle packages! #mnleg minnesotareformer.com/2023/07/03/leg…

An in-depth article about bills such as my & Ron Latz's bill that passed this session, ending the unconstitutional practice of juvenile life without parole. As I say here, I'm thrilled for all young people to have the possibility of a 2nd chance. #mnleg boltsmag.org/juvenile-life-…
