We are devastated by the targeted attack that took the lives of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also wounded. This act of political violence is a direct assault on our democracy. We stand in solidarity with the victims and their families.

🚨 Legislative Lowdown

The 2025 session ended with a thud—leaving critical budget + policy work unfinished. Now, lawmakers are scrambling behind closed doors before a likely special session.

People are fleeing states like Idaho & Texas—not for jobs, but for safety. Reproductive rights, trans rights, and healthcare access are under attack. This is what internal displacement looks like in 2025.

Today, federal authorities arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan on felony charges for allegedly assisting an undocumented immigrant in evading ICE agents. This unprecedented move threatens judicial independence and due process.

Black Mamas have always been at the forefront of movements for justice, yet face some of the worst maternal mortality rates and overall health disparities.

Black Mamas deserve more than survival—they deserve to thrive.

We need to put pressure on the Trump-Musk administration to fully fund research and treatments, NOT cut public health.

In 2024:
❌ 38,000 Minnesotans accessed services through #TitleX across 13 clinics!

These services include things like cancer screenings, STI treatment, contraceptives, general wellness exams, and infertility treatments.

Freezing Title X is an attack on public health.

Pro-Choice Minnesota @prochoiceminnesota.bsky.social · Apr 2

Let’s be clear: this is a coordinated, political attack on public health—and it will disproportionately harm women, LGBTQ+ patients, communities of color, and rural communities. Our Minnesota clinics remain open and ready to serve, but we need to fight back.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic (previously Kerr v. PP South Atlantic), a case that centers on South Carolina's attempt to kick Planned Parenthood out of its Medicaid program.

Arguments start at 10am ET; I'll be covering them live here.

Ending Title X funding in eight states is just the beginning—and gutting America’s family planning program is a means to an end.

There is no other way to say this: Today is the day the CDC was essentially dissolved. What's left is a husk. People will die as a direct result.

The CDC Has Been Gutted

Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

38,000 Minnesotans benefitted from Title X funded healthcare services in 2024.

Let us be clear: this newest political stunt is a coordinated attack on public health.

Planned Parenthood @ppfa.org · Mar 31

The Trump admin withholding Title X funds further strips health care from people across this country. We know what happens when Title X funding is taken away: cancer goes undetected, birth control access is severely reduced, and the STI crisis worsens. People will suffer.

Trump admin cuts tens of millions from Planned Parenthood

The Title X funds were earmarked for birth control and other non-abortion services.
