  • With lawmakers set to convene for the 2025 Minnesota legislative session at noon Tuesday, it remained unclear whether Democratic-Farmer-Labor and Republican House lawmakers will reach a power-sharing agreement to avoid a DFL walkout.

The article from MSN discusses the political turmoil in the Minnesota House of Representatives where the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party is facing a potential no-show by Republican members, which could lead to significant disruptions. The situation escalated after Republicans left the session, effectively preventing a quorum and halting legislative activities. This move comes amidst tensions over the speakership and the potential removal of a Shakopee lawmaker. The absence of Republicans has put at risk the passage of key bills, including those related to infrastructure and public safety. There's also mention of internal strife within the DFL, with some members contemplating drastic measures like removing the current Speaker, Melissa Hortman, due to dissatisfaction with her leadership. This political standoff has left the legislative process in limbo, with both parties at an impasse over how to proceed.
