I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the Inter Faculty Organization, the faculty who teach and support students across MN’s state universities.
Strong public institutions depend on educators who believe in opportunity and fairness.
Grateful for their support and proud to be in this together.
February’s 2026 jobs report hit, and it’s no surprise that America lost 92,000 jobs

Good.
Noem egged ICE on as they arrested innocent children, violated Minnesotans’ rights, and harassed entire communities. She smeared Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I’m glad she’s going but the problem isn’t going away with her. My eye is still on the ball and I’m going to keep fighting for justice.
When Trump imposed his illegal tariffs and raised costs for families across Minnesota, I sued him and won at the Supreme Court.
Yet again, I have no choice but to take him to court to uphold the rule of law and protect Minnesotans’ pocketbooks from the damage his tariffs will cause.
I’m mourning the loss of Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor. She served our country with distinction in the military for more than 20 years. We owe her a debt of gratitude and our respect and honor for her ultimate sacrifice.
My prayers tonight are with her and her loved ones.
These cuts are the latest in a long series of efforts to punish Minnesotans — but just as we fought back and won when they illegally tried to cut funding for childcare, hungry families, and our schools, we are suing them again today to make them follow the law.
Gun reform isn’t just about what happens at the point of arrest. What happens at the point of sale is just as important.
Our win against Fleet Farm reinforces a simple principle: when corporations enable crime, they must be held accountable.
No one is above the law — not even a president.
When the Trump administration overstepped, we held them accountable in court.
And we’re winning.
My team and I work every day to prosecute Medicaid fraud, and we’ve built one of the best Medicaid fraud enforcement records in the nation. MAP Act 2.0 strengthens our tools and resources so public dollars go to the people who need care, not fraudsters.
Gun Retailers can’t just ring up the purchase and look the other way. They have to be a gatekeeper, not a vending machine. open.substack.com/pub/keithell...
Protecting public dollars means protecting health care for families across Minnesota. That’s why we’re introducing the Medical Assistance Protection (MAP) Act 2.0, giving our fraud unit the tools and staff they need to keep care where it belongs.
Safe, effective vaccines save lives.
I stood up to the vaping industry and social media companies when they targeted our children, and I will do everything in my power to protect the health and well-being of all Minnesotans, especially our children.
When gun retailers ignore red flags on straw purchases, communities pay the price.
That's why we took Fleet Farm to court and forced them to do better to stop gun trafficking.
If you profit from gun sales, you have a responsibility to prevent illegal ones.
The Trump Administration tried to bully Minnesota into abandoning programs that support our students.
We didn’t cave.
We didn’t compromise.
We won.
$530 million in yearly education funding protected — with ZERO concessions
The FBI's refusal to share evidence with Minnesota investigators in the Alex Pretti case is unprecedented. This isn’t how these investigations normally work.
I will keep fighting for Minnesota and use every legal tool to uncover the truth Minnesotans deserve.
No president gets to invent an emergency and raise costs on working people.
I challenged Trump’s unlawful tariffs, and the Supreme Court agreed.
Minnesota wins.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said “All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action".

Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Sweeping Tariffs www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...
When federal agencies overstep, we don’t look the other way. We go to court.
The rule of law doesn’t bend for politics, and neither do we.
Congratulations to the people of South Korea!
To the people of the United States:
BREAKING: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been convicted of insurrection for declaring martial law in December 2024, and has been sentenced to life in prison.
Wishing you a blessed Ramadan filled with peace, mercy, and light in every step. May this month deepen your relationship with Allah, strengthen your patience through fasting, and open your heart to gratitude, charity, and compassion for those in need.
At a time of fear and division, this season reminds us that joy, sacrifice, and compassion can meet at the same crossroads.
In 2026, Ramadan begins as Mardi Gras turns to Ash Wednesday and Lent. Lunar New Year also ushers in a new season of hope and renewal.
Different traditions. Same call: reflect, fast, celebrate, renew, care for one another.
We return to this work carrying our grief and her spirit with us, determined to meet this moment with the same strength and heart she always did.
Today marks the start of Minnesota’s 2026 legislative session, the first without our dear friend and leader, Melissa Hortman, whose life was taken in an act of political violence. Her courage, kindness, and devotion to Minnesota touched so many.
i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.
Of course, Rev. Jesse Jackson was a towering figure of the Civil Rights Movement and every other movement for human dignity. But he also took time with new candidates who shared his values. Here’s Rev. Jackson helping me with me 2006 congressional campaign. Bless this great soul. RIP.
