As the debate in the Senate wrapped, Sen. Eric Lucero, R-St. Michael, openly worried that personal safety concerns would hinder aspiring leaders. He addressed them directly, saying, “Don’t allow the fear to dissuade because serving in office is incredibly valuable and important for the continuance of our republic.”

You read that right: $100 million.

"The Senate last week passed a bill to spend close to $100 million over the next two years beefing up security at the Capitol, for legislators, elected officials and the judiciary. A smaller but similar bill is pending in the state House."

Olson: Being a politician in Minnesota now is riskier than ever. They need protection.

Can a person change their mind after receiving new data? Of course they can.

Can a politician change their mind after receiving new data? Possibly, but it really depends upon whether or not they changed who their donors are.

In #Minnesota Angie Craig has pivoted on her view of #ICE and wants everyone to think that she has changed her mind.

Following the money seems to contradict what she is saying.

He's talking about Amy Klobuchar, our current US Senator, who just announced she's running for governor.

I don't like Amy at all. But there isn't any other DFL option yet. Caucuses are next week, I think, and not properly structured for remote attendees (of which there'd be many, because folks are afraid to leave their homes).

Attached: 1 image Minnesota Dems are trying to elect as governor, the County Attorney that refused to charge Derek Chauvin for his entire career of brutality against Black Minnesotans, and refused to charge almost every cop in the police department that is on the most racist 1% of police departments in North America? Then if Black Minnesotans don't turn out to vote for her in record numbers, a bunch of white people are going to jump on BlueSky and Twitter and Mastodon and Facebook to curse out Black people, and express their homicidal fantasies about how Black men and Somali immigrants now deserve whatever is about to happen to them.

Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar announces run for Minnesota governor

Amy Klobuchar says she's running for governor of Minnesota. The Democratic senator is promising to take on President Donald Trump’s administration and unify the state. She announced her candidacy in a video Thursday. Klobuchar's decision gives Democrats a high-profile candidate as they try to keep the office held by Tim Walz. He dropped out of this year's race amid criticism over mismanagement of taxpayer funding for child care programs. Klobuchar has been a vocal critic of Trump, especially regarding the Republican administration's immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
