Do Minnesotans execute newborns?

It’s a bald-faced lie — one that Trump’s told often — that in some blue states, they allow infanticide. In June, Trump told Fox News: “Hard to believe, they have some states passing legislation where you can execute the baby after birth. It’s crazy.”

It is crazy. And, of course, not true. Just to be clear, infanticide is illegal in every state of the union. And D.C.

Last week Trump did it again. At a rally in Michigan. Then once again on Fox, he gave an example: “Some of the states like Minnesota and other states have it where you could actually execute the baby after birth.”

Why my home state of Minnesota? Well, that sounds a lot like a law that a radical like Tim Walz would sign, doesn’t it?

We have to beat this guy. It should be easy, considering how many provable lies he tells every day. But it’s not going to be. That’s why we are so focused on contrasting what our future would look like under Trump vs. Harris. 

The more we can give to organizations that will execute a strong ground-game operation — which means connecting with voters face to face — the better our chances of winning this thing will be. Thanks for your support!

P.S. I’ve checked. And killing newborns is also illegal in all the territories.

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.
