Stopping the GOP's goal of keeping Trump in power through false crises and election chicanery needs to be the DNC's first priority, so thanks. Go bigger and harder! If you fail, it will be a long next 50 years.

This is a really good letter. Today I am glad a Minnesotan heads the DNC. I have family there. Thank you.

Sir, if you truly believe everything you just wrote, then for the love of God you also need to speak out against the weak & feckless so called leadership of Hakim Jefferies. At every turn, he is at odds with what you claim to believe. His dereliction of duty is part of how we got here. He refuses to exercise the rights & responsibilities of his elected office "I have no power" he claims! Yet he willfully failed to 'whip' votes against funding ICE's mayhem & murder. He disgusts me almost as equally as those across his aisle. Jefferies is mostly responsible for congressional Democrats abysmal poll numbers because democrats can't stand him. He is the very reason I will not donate to the institution you lead.

Thank you for fighting to protect our voter's rights and to protect our elections. The trump regime is an ongoing nightmare which escalates constantly. They want to make sure after the reality TV star who has somehow managed to brainwash half of America is gone, they can still maintain control. Sadly, we are in this fight for the long haul.

Thank you for fighting in court. This is a crucial thing to do to continue pushing back and highlighting their illegality.

I’m pretty sure there are many more folks, very concerned about this, even for this November. The Project 2025/Trump goons have crimed over and over to hold onto power in THREE POTUS elections and now they have crimed so much that incarceration looms large if they lose. There is no way these fascist crooks are going to relinquish power. Antifa needs a smart, super smart plan, we’re dealing with world class criminals!!

“After that, the votes must be accurately counted. To that end, election-denying Republican conspiracy theorist Scott Leiendecker has purchased Dominion Voting Systems, giving him control of how votes are counted in 27 states. You should have zero faith that the new ownership wouldn’t mess with vote tabulation when it is already clear that this is a “power at all costs” movement.”

I was saddended by the governor's extraordinarily insensitive and completely inappropriate reference to ann frank who hid from genocidal nazis.

In a time when many democrats are repeating lies and distortions about jews and the jewish independence movement, zionism, and attacking the state of israel which has saved so many from the horrors of christian and muslim antisemitism; the comparison of ann frank to citizens of minnesota is a travesty.

Ann frank hid from being slaughtered by the nazis. She and other Jews including my family were citizens of their countries. This did not save them. They were not deported, but slaughtered. They would love to have been deported if there was a country that would take them.

ICE, poorly trained, incompetent, poorly led, confused about its role and focus, and its positon in the trump narrative, is focused on deporting non citizens, law abiding and criminal, not murdering them. ICE leadership if truly professional and competent would remove the majority of its people from minneapolis, retrain them and be transparent about events.

We need a policy to welcome most illegals as citizens and deport the criminals. That is not the Trump policy

Comparing ICE to NAZIS is slander and misses the point of a potential consensual narrative to welcome those who have come to the US seeking freedom and prosperity.

Governor WALZ was extremely unhelpful in what he said.
