Tuesday 5/28 Call to Action

1. Minnesota passed a budget.

See the link for everything that passed, but it includes an education bill, health and human services spending increases, and election security, but no gas tax increase.

2. Minnesota will have a primary for president this year, on Super Tuesday: March 3, 2020.  The process will be different than before:

"How will I be able to vote in the presidential nomination primary?

Registered voters will be able to vote at their polling place on presidential primary day or by absentee up to 46 days before presidential primary day (January 17, 2020). A voter must state which party's ballot they want and will be given a ballot containing only that party's candidates. If you refuse to select a party, you will not be able to vote in the presidential nomination primary."

3. "President Donald Trump has ordered all major US intelligence agencies to assist Attorney General William Barr in his review of surveillance issues surrounding Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, delegating significant authority to Barr to declassify sensitive intelligence materials as the attorney general sees fit."
