This week, we take a look at the historic $6 billion funding proposal for E-12 schools proposed by Gov. Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flannagan. The proposal also includes expanding the state's child and dependent care tax credit to help many Minnesotans with child-care costs.

We also discuss the GOP's dangerous rhetoric playing out in New Mexico, where a former republican legislative candidate was arrested for shooting at the houses of Democrats he blames for his election loss. 

This week, we break down some of the items that DFLers are working on in the State Capitol. Needless to say, there's a ton of great legislation moving forward now that DFLers control the state House, state Senate, and the Governor's office.

We also interview the fantastic Senator Erin Maye Quade about what it's like to serve in the state Senate. And finally, we plot to seize every gas stove in Minnesota (only kidding).

Recently, the DFL Debrief team sat down with the crew of the Brodkorb Report to discuss the two-year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, Kevin McCarthy's bid for Speaker of the House, the DFL trifecta's legislative agenda, and so much more. 

Michael Brodkorb is the former Deputy Chair of the Minnesota GOP and Becky Alery is their former Executive Director and it was great to hear their perspective on state and national politics. To hear more from them, be sure to check out the Brodkorb Report, which is available wherever you listen to the DFL Debrief!

In this short update, we put our mittens up for Michigan, which was selected by the DNC to host one of the early 2024 presidential primaries.

Today, we discuss the campaign to be the next MN GOP Chairman, as well as our push to move an early 2024 presidential primary to Minnesota. Be sure to tune in and share the show with your friends and family! 

This week, we discuss the DFL Party's campaign operation and share some of how we were able to win despite some tremendous obstacles in our way.

The DFL Debrief was invited to record a live podcast at the Watonwan County DFL Fall Banquet! We talked about the midterms, had a blast and we hope you enjoy the show too.

This week, we sat down with independent journalist and Guy Who's Good at Twitter Aaron Rupar for a conversation about the Republican Party, the 2022 midterms, President Biden, and much more. Be sure to tune in!

This week, we discuss Republican Attorney General candidate Jim Schultz's anti-abortion extremism and the defamation lawsuit he threatened us. Help spread the word about Schultz by sharing realjimschultz.com with your friends, family, and neighbors.
