The fake "rules committee" today "authorized" taxpayer money to go to "chair" Niska's law firm to pay for defending their illegal power grab. You can't make this stuff up. Can you imagine the GOP outcry if Dems did this?

House Republicans held a sham kangaroo court to install a GOP Speaker. DFL leaders are fighting back.

News: Democrats condemn GOP hiring Rep. Harry Niska's employer "The House GOP should immediately stop any taxpayer dollars going to pay for private counsel to defend their illegal conduct, let alone taxpayer dollars to pad the pockets of Rep. Niska." house.mn.gov/members/profil…

You need to hire lawyers with taxpayer money to defend your illegal power grab? You need to hire your literal partners at your own law firm? No other attorneys available? You're playing at "chair" and failing the most basic conflict of interest tests right out of the gate.

Minnesotans should be outraged by what Republicans are doing. They didn't win a majority, they are trying kick out a rep who won his election, and they are giving your tax dollars to their own "leader's" employer to defend their illegal actions. Can't make it up 🤷🏼‍♀️

MORE. OF. THIS. Thank you Emma Greenman!

Republicans refuse to answer yes or no when asked if they will seat Rep. Brad Tabke of Shakopee, whose victory was upheld on election night, in a recount, and by a judge. The people of Shakopee deserve to decide who represents them, not 67 Republican politicians.

Democrats are asking Republicans for something very simple, and that is to honor the will of the voters.

NEW: A giant, radical memo from House Budget Committee Republicans was recently leaked. It’s a menu of all the tax breaks they want to give to the wealthy and corporations—and all the stuff they could cut to pay for it. Everything you need to know, a thread 🧵

Now that the illegal GOP power grab is over, the House DFL has two commonsense asks: - Respect the will of Shakopee voters and don't kick out Rep. Tabke - Respect the will of MN voters and co-govern when we return to a tie The Senate GOP agreed. Why not the House GOP?

This is what morality, decency, and a spine looks like ⬇️ There is no comparison that can be made without capitulation. Pedos are emboldened when society even hints that their crimes are on par with objectively less heinous crimes. This isn't abt R vs D. It's abt right vs wrong.

There is no need to be big mad that my replies are off on a few posts. My dms are open 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks for all the msgs from fellow survivors🙏🏻 The lesson: whatever survivors of CSA say on here about CSA awareness is a moot point. Good news at least: IRL my R colleagues do not react to me or anyone like we've seen here, and I respect that morality wins where it matters.

Releasing the killer's hit list of public officials at this time isn't just irresponsible—it's dangerous. It puts lives at risk and fuels fear. There's a difference between informing the public and giving a blueprint for harm. This crossed that line.
