A month ago, Democrats in Minnesota sought to create a "thoughtcrime" database. It’s going to happen. If they think your opinion is wrong, you get put into a database and labeled as “hateful.” Rep @HarryNiska called it out then – and now, my home state is wholly unrecognizable.

Sadly, this bill is more accurately called the “Democrats Rule the People Act,” because it is one party choosing who gets to speak in our marketplace of ideas, as I explained last night. More trampling on our First Amendment rights by the Ruling Trifecta.

I was proud to stand and speak out for religious freedom and against the shameful & unconstitutional targeting by the DFL of two specific faith-based institutions in the PSEO program. Disappointed that none of them would stand with us.

We're currently standing for a call of division on the House floor, waiting for several minutes as the majority stalls to get their scattered members back in the chamber. We're standing for religious freedom as Democrats target private Christian schools.

Advanced warning, LONG TWEET - Why am I so fired up? Why speak now? The MN Democrats crossed the line that’s why. (Yes it was 100% Democrats that voted, voiced these thoughts and stood together in lock step to not give religious organizations an exemption to a really bad law.)

I do hope that the predictions of these experts turns out to be correct when this question is presented in a future court case. But without more clear language, it’s not responsible to just rely on this speculation, when it is so easy to close the door now.

This is not correct. The payments were voluntary and the contempt holding was based on an agreement MDE made and then didn’t follow through on (for prompt processing of applications). More here:
@MAKeliher

@billglahn But there was *an order* and it forced MDE to pay FOF. Isn't it reasonable to assume MDE thought this judge was unfriendly to their view and therefore restarted payments to avoid further contempt charges?

It was introduced as a stand-alone bill on 2/19 (HF3926) and referred to Judiciary. I formally requested a hearing on 2/26. The Democrat chair declined to give it a hearing. (You would learn these facts and others by watching the full video I linked).

Thanks to the feds for taking this seriously. Unfortunately, Minnesota state law doesn't. Republicans have been asking to toughen penalties on straw purchases, w/ bills like this one: MN Dems won't even give these bills a hearing. Why?
