Thread: The DFL booth at the #mnstatefair has been packed all day! If you're going to be at the State Fair, be sure to drop by! Here's what you need to check out at the DFL booth:
First, our Presidential Primary "Bean Ballot" Straw Poll! Use Minnesota-grown soybeans to cast your vote and make your voice heard! Plus, you'll get to see who your fellow Democrats want to take on Trump in 2020. We've already had over 570 votes cast! #mnstatefair
Don't forget a few buttons either, our selection is pretty great! 🤩🤩 #mnstatefair
If you're not registered to vote yet, or if you need to update your registration, you can take care of that right at the DFL booth! #mnstatefair
You may have heard that far-right former Congressman announced against @TinaSmithMN today. He's been described as "mini-Trump" and it's safe to say he's bad news for MN. If you come by the DFL booth, you can learn how to help re-elect @TinaSmithMN so she can keep fighting for us!
You can also learn more about the DFL's caucuses, including our environmental and progressive caucuses! If you're committed to fighting for progressive change and tackling the climate crisis, they're a must visit! #mnstatefair
In conclusion, the DFL booth is 🔥🔥🔥! If you're going to be at the #mnstatefair, you gotta check it out!

Wellstone Fellows will learn the ins and outs of electoral organizing through weekly virtual classes and interactive assignments, ultimately gaining the skills and knowledge to work on professional political and electoral campaigns in the 2024 campaign cycle, and beyond! (2/6)
Good news - you don’t need to be a political professional to join the Wellstone Academy!

BREAKING: this weekend at the @mngop convention, @KimCrockettSOS played a video that portrayed George Soros, a Jewish man, as a puppet master who is secretly controlling Minnesota's elections.
The "Jewish puppet master" is a longstanding and deeply anti-Semitic trope.
The stereotypes @KimCrockettSOS is using to fuel her campaign are centuries old and have caused incredible harm to the Jewish community both here in the United States and across the world.
Minnesota Republicans have chosen their most extreme and dangerous candidate to lead their party in the fall. We can’t allow Scott Jensen to become governor. #mngov dfl.org/press-release/…
Scott Jensen has promised to ban abortion, even for victims of rape and incest.
THREAD: We're demanding @mngop Chair @davidhann root out the dangerous political extremism that's taken over his party.
Time and time again, Minnesota Republicans have cozied up to violent extremists. It has to end. Here's just a few recent examples: dfl.org/press-release/…
Just yesterday, an MN GOP leader embraced the Oath Keepers, a violent, right-wing militia.
Numerous members of that extremist militia have been arrested and charged for plotting and carrying out the attempted January 6th insurrection. propublica.org/article/oath-k…
While this story is shocking, the GOP's embrace of the most extreme elements of the far-right is not w/o precedence. Just today it was revealed that State Senator @MarkkoranMN is raising money for men charged in the Jan 6 terrorist attack on the US Capitol minnesotareformer.com/briefs/gop-sta…
It is abundantly clear these Republican Representatives don’t want to know whether the January 6th insurrection was pre-planned and who was involved in that planning because they are scared of the answer.
By voting against holding Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for refusing a subpoena, these Republican Representatives are abdicating the responsibilities of their office and trying to take the teeth out of Congress’ ability to investigate criminal behavior.
