#ICEoutofMinnesota

Our message is clear: ICE needs to get out of Minnesota.

Please join in however you're able. Even on your own corner, you can bring healing light to this hard day.

Republicans have wanted to kill off Affordable Care since its beginning. From sabotaging initial negotiations to repeatedly watering down protections, Trump and the Republicans have consistenly hamstringed the ACA. And now are trying to tell us it never worked. Peak gaslighting.

When your Republican Congressperson says they support veterans, remind them of the facts: our veterans are not receiving the care they've earned because the GOP has cut every program veterans need. The GOP has broken the promise our country made to those who signed up to serve.

Please join us for this fun event and help power our statewide organizing efforts!
Tickets are $25 for adults, $10 for students and kids under 12 are free. Sponsorships at $75, $150, $250 or $500.

Register here: www.dflruralcaucus.org/events; tickets will also be available at the door.

Supreme Court allows Trump administration to implement widespread Education Department layoffs A federal judge had ruled that the Trump administration is seeking to "effectively dismantle" the department without necessary approval from Congress.

Shocking decision. From Sotomayor: "When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law . . . it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness."
We'll add: "When GOP Reps refuse to protect Congressionally approved funds, it's our duty to check them"

Millions of funding dollars for Minnesota schools in limbo The federal agency said on their website, there will be changes to how the $6 billion in taxpayer dollars are allocated.

To be clear: this is Congressionally appropriated funding that the Executive Branch is legally bound to administer. But the four feckless GOP Minnesota Reps are not willing to stand up to POTUS and do their actual jobs.

Republicans will do anything to help rich donors get richer.
All while hurting the rest of us.
The House will likely get a chance to vote on this bill next week.

This is a coordinated Republican effort to hurt families. And let's be honest, they know it will push women out of the workforce because once long-term care homes are closed, someone will need to stay home to care for those who've lost their services.
