My bill banning local governments from signing NDAs was in response to the secret agreements data centers are forcing on municipalities to hide their irresponsible practices from the public. And House Republicans blocked even that small change 🤯

June 14th, 2026.
It’s hard to find the words today.
The grief of losing Melissa, Mark and Gilbert.
What John, Yvette and Hope went through.
The personal fear and collective terror that we lived through in those two days.
The festering wound of political violence and hate that caused it all.

All of that feels very real today on the anniversary of this unspeakable tragedy. The longest and shortest year. And so much still to process – personally and as a community – all without the guidance of Melissa and the warm empathy of Mark.

And here we are. Left to figure our way through, to find comfort, purpose, and hope in each other and in the lessons, love, and wisdom that Melissa and Mark gave us:

* Put people at the center of every decision you make.
* Be the force for, not against, change.
* Think, listen, and understand.
* Work harder. Bring people with you.
* Care for the people around you and about the people who aren’t.
* Enjoy each other.
* The details matter.
* So do humility, beauty, and kindness.
* Find a way.
* Serve. Love. Persist.

Our dear Melissa and Mark leave a legacy so much bigger than words, and so much longer than this last year of grief. So today is a good day to resolve to follow their example and learn from their legacy - See the good in people and one another. Believe in progress and work to make it so. Build relationships and bridge differences. Produce rather than perform. And no matter what we face, never give up on the work of our democracy and improving the lives and futures of all Minnesotans.

"We're seeing studies come out that say [the companies] are targeting 18- to 21-year-olds and we are seeing gambling starting younger and younger," Minnesota Rep. Emma Greenman, the Democrat and author of the bill, told ABC News on Wednesday.

Greenman noted that the finalized version of the bill has an exception that allows for weather derivatives.

"We narrowed it down to include and cover these things that don't have the financial utility that companies and markets have been using for years," she said.

"Instead of CFTC using their power to regulate, they are coming after us and not doing their homework," Greenman added.

The federal government sued Minnesota after a state legislators passed a bill that would ban prediction market companies from operating in the state.

If Democrats don't get a vote on an assault weapons ban this weekend, it appears they will make the issue into a top campaign priority in 2026.
