An update on Minnesota

You may have heard that Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, announced the end of ICE’s immigration crackdown in MN. Well, we haven’t seen any evidence of that.

An unhealthy obsession

You know, I used to think I understood political grudges. I’ve seen people hold onto a petty disagreement like it was a family heirloom.

I was on the ground in Minneapolis

I want to tell you a little about my time in Minneapolis this past week. Minnesotans are going through an emotionally rugged period — but they’ve also been remarkable.

Well, crap!

I’m not exactly surprised by this latest report in The New York Times, but I am deeply concerned.

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
