Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner slams Vivek Ramaswamy's attack ad targeting Dr. Amy Acton: "All Vivek has is running on the sexual abuse of a child who did nothing wrong ... That's despicable. That disqualifies Vivek Ramaswamy, as far as I'm concerned."

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner says states can prosecute federal election meddling. "The states aren't helpless. The states have jurisdiction to investigate. And if the evidence supports it, indict and prosecute ... whether it's murder or election crimes."

Minnesota State Senate candidate Simon Glaser calls out the GOP's misleading promises to lower taxes: "What they never say, the fine print, is which taxes are they planning on lowering... These are not really the taxes on working people that we're talking about."

Anti-abortion extremism isn't just threatening reproductive care — it’s driving doctors out of states like Idaho, putting everyone's health at risk. North Carolina and Georgia could be next.

Minnesota DFL State Senate candidate Chris Ford joined Patti Vasquez to discuss the affordability crisis. "I've talked to young people who ... are paying exorbitant amounts for child care, $36,000 a year for kids, on top of their mortgage and their student loans."

The 50 State Fight's Patti Vasquez & Aaron Kleinman call out a supposed moderate MN Republican who oversaw a Derek Chauvin tribute. "A moment of silence for a guy in jail? Let's bow our heads & hope he doesn't miss any meals or his daylight time in the yard."

Abdul El-Sayed slams Mike Rogers for suggesting retired police officers should act as poll watchers in Detroit. "I couldn't believe it when I heard it, because that sounds like something you'd be hearing from someone in the South like 60 years ago, not a politician running here in Michigan..."

Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed says Mike Rogers and other Trump-aligned candidates use "MAGA bingo" to fool voters. "Every time you hear one of those buzzwords, just remember when they're distracting you, they're also trying to pick your pocket."

ABDUL EL-SAYED: "It shouldn't be this hard to pay your taxes and know that that money is going to be spent for you and your kids rather than dropping bombs on somebody else and their kids."

Michigan Republican Mike Rogers says his tariff policies are “aligned” with the United Auto Workers. Democrat Abdul El-Sayed reminds Rogers which candidate the UAW endorsed. "They've endorsed me, and they are dead set against the policies that he is backing."

Amy Klobuchar exposes Lisa Demuth's refusal to cap insulin costs as House Speaker. "She had the opportunity to cap insulin at $35 a month ... Instead, they came up with a Band-Aid, which was an emergency amount for one month of insulin."

Minnesota's Amy Klobuchar calls Lisa Demuth a "rubber stamp" for Donald Trump. "I think we need someone who can get things done for you ... and not him and one of his top donors who is financing her ads, who is a billionaire out of Wisconsin who, by the way, is a Packers fan, an important point."

Amy Klobuchar shuts down Lisa Demuth's claim that she isn't different than Tim Walz during Minnesota's gubernatorial debate. "I wouldn't have pardoned the sex offender ... But you ... could not differentiate yourself in any way from Donald Trump."

Amy Klobuchar says the "fastest way to lower gas prices" is to end the Iran War. "...[Lisa Demuth] actually brought up and blamed it on the Keystone Pipeline. Then, she blamed health care costs on Barack Obama. I don't know what will be next, maybe Thomas Jefferson."

Minnesota DFL State Senate candidate Kristy Janigo on the state finding an effective way to help homeless veterans: "The entire state now, all 10 continuums of care and 87 counties, are at that milestone of an effective end to veteran homelessness. It's amazing."
