I woke up this morning thinking of the battleground states. The states whose votes are likely to decide the Presidential election and control of Congress. The states #Harris and #Walz are barnstorming this week. The states where the #HarrisWalz2024 campaign must advertise, organize, and fight like hell. The campaign is going to need extraordinary funds to do this. I am determined to do all I can to make sure the funds are there.
Got a few bucks?

Did #Trump‘s VP pick #JDVance just ‘#swiftboat’ #TimWalz by attacking his #military record?
[Yep. Vance is pretty effin stupid.]
#Vance, accused his opponent of “stolen valor garbage” & accused him of having “abandoned” his unit in 2005 ahead of a planned deployment to Iraq.

Uh Oh, Donald Trump, Look What You Made Taylor Swift Do
Is this a sign of the long foretold Taylor Swift endorsement that we've read about in prophecy?Evan Hurst (Wonkette)
Vice President Harris has upended the presidential race and has now built a 51%-48% lead over Trump, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.
Women, Black voters and Independents have all moved toward Harris. #HarrisWalz2024

> Walz also says maps help implement the nitty-gritty details of otherwise abstract policy. “You have to have a plan” for “how we’re doing power and economic justice and environmental justice,” he said. “The tools for that plan are GIS.” Those tools “transfer a vision of a fair society into one that actually has results.”

Gov. #Walz picked as #VP for #Harris !
He's great on education, this is my favorite photo of him surrounded by kids from March 2023 when he signed a bill into law to provide breakfasts & lunches at no charge to students at participating schools. Minnesota is the 4th state to do so.
For @GottaLaff & @nicolesandler I made it a point to credit Ben Hovland, MPR News for this great photo from this story.

Walz signs universal school meals bill into Minnesota law
Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill into law Friday that will provide breakfasts and lunches at no charge to students at participating schools. It makes Minnesota the fourth state in the country to do so.Elizabeth Shockman (MPR News)
“I share this background both because it's impressive in its own right,& because you see in no uncertain terms how it informs his record. He worked w/ #Republicans to pass #infrastructure investments.He cut #taxes for working #families. He passed a #law to provide #PaidFamily & #medical leave to Minnesota families.
#HarrisWalz2024
“He made #Minnesota the first state in the country to pass a #law providing constitutional #abortion protections after the #SupremeCourt overturned #RoeVWade, & as an avid hunter, he passed a bill requiring #UniversalBackgroundChecks for #gun purchases.
“But what impressed me most about Tim is his deep commitment to his family: Gwen, Gus, & Hope. Doug & I look forward to working w/him & Gwen to build an administration that reflects our shared values.
“Whether you are a supporter, a volunteer, a donor, a member of our staff, or your name is on the ticket: you are part of the #people-powered campaign that is going to defeat Donald #Trump.
“We are going to build a great partnership. We are going to build a great team. We are going to #win this #election.
“So let's get to work.“

While #TimWalz might not be a household name, his political star has been on the rise….
#Walz was also credited w/helping launch the "#weird" movement….
He has also been applauded & condemned for several #progressive laws passed while in #Minnesota's highest office, especially in his 2nd term when the #DFL Party took total control of state govt following the 2022 elections.…

Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz's accomplishments, setbacks during his time as Minnesota governor
While Tim Walz might not be a household name, his political star has been on the rise in recent weeks after making several viral cable news appearances.Stephen Swanson (CBS Minnesota)
Here are several of #TimWalz's accomplishments — w/an unusual number of legislative successes scored in March 2023 alone — & setbacks during his tenure as governor.
Walz's use of #EmergencyPowers during the #pandemic — including the institution of a #MaskMandate, business #shutdowns & a #hotline number established to report people violating #SocialDistancing guidelines — outraged his critics.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
#VoteBlue #HarrisWalz2024 #Harris2024
Several lawsuits followed, including one filed in 2020 by the #conservative Upper Midwest #Law Ctr alleging #TimWalz misinterpreted the #Minnesota Emergency Management Act & illegally bypassed state lawmakers….
The case, which focused on the #COVID #pandemic #MaskMandate, eventually made its way to the MN Supreme Court, which sent it back to the MN Court of Appeals. In July 2023, that court ruled that #Walz indeed had the authority.👏🏻
#Conservatives lashed out at #Walz for his delay in the historic activation of the Minnesota #NationalGuard, which helped restore order on Twin Cities streets during the unrest in May 2020 following the murder of #GeorgeFloyd.
The delay drew the ire of then-Pres #Trump, who went on to falsely claim he ultimately made the call. Months after the chaos, Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he asked Walz for troops 3 days before he gave the green light.
👏🏻
#Restraint #Ally #HarrisWalz2024
#Walz, who served in the #Army #NationalGuard for nearly a quarter of a century, clapped back at Frey.
"I don't think the mayor knew what he was asking for," Walz said. "I think the mayor said, 'I request the National Guard, this is great. We're going to have massively-trained troops.' No, you're going to have 19-yr-olds who are cooks!"
In a recent interview w/ #FauxNews, #Minnesota #Republican Party Chair David Hann accused Walz of delaying guard activation because "he was fearful of alienating his progressive base, who were supporting the riots…. [Walz]…is by far the most partisan governor that I can remember having. He displayed a remarkable lack of leadership in dealing w/the riot …& the aftermath of which is still affecting the quality of life & the business climate in Minneapolis." 🙄
In a 1995 ruling, the #Minnesota #SupremeCourt upheld #AbortionRights in MN. In Jan 2023, #Walz signed the #PROAct (#ProtectReproductiveOptions Act) into #law, making #abortion a "fundamental right," as well as #access to #contraception, #fertility treatments, #sterilization & other #ReproductiveHealthCare.
The law made MN the 1st state to #codify #AbortionRights in the aftermath of #SCOTUS' 2022 ruling in… #Dobbs…, which nullified #RoeVWade….
"Your access to #ReproductiveHealth & your right to make your own #HealthCare decisions are preserved & protected," #Walz said during the signing ceremony. "And because of this #law, that won't change w/the #political wins or makeup of the #SupremeCourt. This is a bill for #Minnesota today & all #future generations."
In April 2023, Walz signed the #ReproductiveFreedom Defense Act into law, shielding #women & #providers from any #legal action originating from the patient's state.
#Walz has a long history of supporting #LGBTQIA+ rights. While teaching at #Mankato West High School in the 90s, he helped found its first #GayStraightAlliance group.
"You have an older, #White, #straight, #married, male #football coach who's deeply concerned that these students are treated fairly & that there is no #bullying," Walz said in a 2018 campaign ad.
In March 2023, #Walz signed an exec order to the right of residents to have access to #GenderAffirming #HealthCare. Weeks later, he signed the "#TransRefuge" bill, banning the enforcement of arrest warrants, extradition requests & out-of-state subpoenas for those who traveled to Minnesota for care.
"When someone else is given basic rights, others don't lose theirs," Walz said. "We aren't cutting a pie here. We're giving basic rights to every single Minnesotan."
The practice of putting #LGBTQIA+ youths into "conversion therapy," which aims to change a person's #SexualOrientation or #gender #identity, was also formally banned in early 2023, although #Walz issued an executive order 2 yrs earlier to restrict the practice.
#Walz signed a #PublicSafety package including a "#RedFlag" #law that allows family members, roommates or law enforcement to petition the courts to remove #firearms from the possession of anyone deemed a danger to themselves or others.
Another law in the package required private gun transfers to be subject to #BackgroundChecks.
"This is NOT about the #SecondAmendment," Walz said. "This is about the #safety & #security of our communities. That's what's happening here today."
In May 2023, #Walz signed a #law creating astate-run program to provide paid #family & #medical leave for #Minnesota #workers, funded by a 0.7% payroll #tax on #employers, by 2026.
While proponents say the #law is an "equalizer" that provides a road map for a similar federal effort, critics claim it would cost much more than estimated & devastate small businesses.
#PaidFamilyLeave #PaidMedicalLeave #PaidSickLeave #VoteBlue #HarrisWalz2024
In May 2023, #Minnesota became the 23rd state in the nation to legalize recreational #cannabis use. 3 months later, people 21 & older could start to possess certain amounts of #marijuana at home & on their person, in addition to legally #growing up to 8 plants at a time.
Minnesotans w/minor #MarijuanaConvictions are also eligible to have their #CriminalRecords #expunged,
