Minnesota lawmakers faced a painful political moment as votes on a budget deal forced them to confront provisions many found objectionable. In the House, DFL speaker emerita Melissa Hortman was the lone DFL lawmaker to cast a vote to cut Minnesota care access for undocumented immigrants. She described the vote as taken with a heavy heart and said, "I did what leaders do. I stepped up and I got the job done for the people of Minnesota." The bill, however, was deeply unpopular within the DFL caucus. Members repeatedly expressed frustration that the measure was part of a compromise designed to secure the necessary GOP votes to pass the rest of the state budget. Hortman acknowledged the impact of her decision, stating, "We're tremendously disappointed and gut wrenched at this decision, at this compromise that compromises our communities that are most vulnerable." She also admitted the consequences of her vote on her relationships within her caucus, noting, "They're right to be mad at me. I think some of them are pretty angry. I think that their job was to make folks who voted for that bill feel like crap, and I think that they succeeded." In the Senate, a parallel scenario unfolded. Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy felt compelled to vote for a bill she did not agree with in order to uphold the integrity of the agreed compromise. She described the moment as painful, saying, "This one hurt. This one is a wound because of its reason. My colleagues across the aisle set this as their number one priority." The decision to vote for the measure raised concerns about possible rifts within the DFL caucus, but support came from some colleagues who argued in her defense. Senator John Marty stepped forward to defend Murphy, saying, "As a member of the caucus Yes, sir. She clearly was fighting against that every step of the way. In negotiations, if we wanted a budget, we had to agree to that. She agreed to put up one vote for us because of that." Reporting from Saint Paul, Quinn Gorham covered the developments and the emotional toll of the votes on lawmakers as the session moved forward.

This budget imposes a tax on working people and patients, creating new out-of-pocket expenses. It breaks the president's campaign promise to lower costs for working people.

I'm not as eloquent as my colleagues, but politicians voting for this bill own the consequences. American people expect us to fight, not just slow down the country's destruction. We need to pick principled fights, like stopping the border invasion. To the American people: pay attention and stop sending politicians who talk one way and vote another. I'm a strong no on this bill.

Republicans just passed a bill that eliminates taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security. Yet, Democrats voted against it. The same Democrats who opposed giving you back $5,000 of your own money are now blocking this tax relief. And despite this, you're mad at me? You're still going to vote for them after they do things like this. You're really mad at me?

The speaker questions the lack of outrage over abortion of African American children, highlighting their efforts towards race relations in the state.

**Speaker 0:** 212 Democrats voted against no tax on tips, Social Security, and overtime. If the government makes money and spends it responsibly, taxes aren't necessary. The new administration is holding the government accountable, and people are mad about it. **Speaker 1:** There's no tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security in the budget resolution. Taxes are normal. This utopia where nobody pays taxes isn't going to work. Read the budget before lecturing people about it.

The speaker discusses a recent vote in the US House of Representatives to defund the National Endowment for Democracy, arguing that this measure is not neutral or benevolent, but a leftist enterprise. The speaker states that leftists are free to contribute to it, but insists that hardworking Americans should not be forced by the government to contribute to causes they find repugnant, including the NED. Despite this stance, the speaker notes that 81 Republican members of the House voted with all the Democrats to keep the funding stream going, funding the enterprise with federal money. The speaker contends that there should be legitimate disagreement within the Republican Party, but asserts that this issue should not be one of them. When campaigning as a Republican, the speaker says, voters expect basic precepts, including that the US government is too big and expensive because it does too many things it was never intended to do. The speaker argues that Republicans should agree that funds should not be taken from hardworking Americans and given to left-leaning enterprises that undercut everything the party stands for or purports to stand for. If viewers share the speaker’s frustration, they are urged to find out how their representative voted and raise the issue with them. The speaker anticipates that some Republicans will blame the outcome on the Senate filibuster, though they claim the Senate filibuster rule should not affect the House. The speaker argues that such blaming is severely exaggerated and emphasizes the importance of ending the zombie filibuster, calling for a speaking filibuster instead of silent or asleep filibustering. With the procedural concerns addressed, the speaker says the party should move on to implementing policies for which Republicans were elected, including reducing federal wasteful spending, ending funding for the National Endowment for Democracy, and passing the SAFE Act. The speaker describes the SAFE Act as something that “like, 80% of all Americans agree with,” which is to take steps to stop noncitizens from voting in elections. The speaker reiterates the admonition to stay true to the Republican Party and not align with another party, ending with a caution: “Don’t get on the other one. And, good heavens, don’t get on a donkey.”

Speaker 0 expressed disappointment with a large spending bill, claiming it increases the budget deficit. Speaker 0 connected this to the work being done by the Doge team. Speaker 1 stated that everything done on Doge gets wiped out in the first year due to the bill. Speaker 0 stated that a bill can be big or beautiful, but not both, in their opinion.

We filed the continued resolution on Saturday, but the House Democrats leadership team released a statement on Friday panning a bill they hadn't even seen yet. They claimed it would cut funding for healthcare, nutritional assistance, and veterans benefits. But every single word of that is a lie. The clean CR contains no policy riders at all, no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security, and no cuts to veterans benefits. In fact, we plus up the accounts for veterans. I'm asking reporters to call out Democrats for making these intentionally false claims. The American people deserve clarity from our press corps.
