Is it just me or are there some major “priorities” problems in the U.S. at the moment when it comes to our politicians? Starting at the top, we’ve got inflation making it hard for families to afford groceries, gas prices remain high, the southern border is a disaster (mostly by design) and banks have collapsed. What’s the Biden White House want everybody focused on? Climate change and electric cars:
Every electric vehicle sold is a win against climate change. Thanks to President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, you can now get a tax credit to purchase a new or used electric vehicle.

But the Left’s political “priorities” (said using the most exaggerated finger quotes possible) also include state governors. The Minnesota governor, for example, has created a new government job:
Today, I announced Dr. Stephanie Burrage as Minnesota’s first Chief Equity Officer.
Dr. Burrage will use her expertise to advance equity and opportunity in communities across the state as we continue our work to make Minnesota the best state in the country to grow up in. pic.twitter.com/0ulv8q0kZ5— Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) March 29, 2023
Hey, what could possibly go wrong here?
Minnesota Deputy Education Commissioner Stephanie Burrage is set to become the state’s chief equity officer, a new state government position that will advise the administration on policies to tackle disparities for Black Minnesotans.
Her appointment, announced by Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday, follows a year-long effort led by Burrage to get input from communities of color on the next two-year budget. In her new role, she said she’ll be doing more of that work, meeting with community members and bringing that feedback back to the administration.
“Making sure they have a seat at the table, that’s huge,” said Burrage. “We need to build programs with people.”
“We need to build programs with people” sounds like the typical Orwellian progressive meaningless blather.
I guess that’s what all the experts recommend when your constituents are hurting from high inflation caused by democratic policies. What you should do is hire people into divisive positions, and everything will be better. 🤷♂️

“Equity and opportunity” offer not available everywhere:
Equity for the unborn

Is “equity” that isn’t applied across the board really “equity”? And yet, here we are:
While abortion remains legal in Minnesota, Minnesota's neighboring states are expected to severely restrict reproductive freedom.
That’s why I signed an Executive Order to help protect people seeking or providing abortions in Minnesota from legal repercussions in other states.

Grateful to have @SecBecerra here with us today to highlight the work we’ve done to ensure every Minnesotan has meaningful access to reproductive health care and abortion.

Nobody likes a non-equitable abortion quite like the Minnesota governor.
