John Hoffman, a State Senator from Minnesota, also made headlines by joining Republicans on key votes. His decision to break ranks with his party has not gone unnoticed and may have contributed to the tensions leading to the shooting. Hoffman’s actions raise questions about party loyalty and the pressures lawmakers face when making controversial decisions.
Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman (DFL-Champlin), a member of the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, has a history of occasionally voting with Republicans, reflecting his commitment to bipartisanship, particularly on human services and disability-related issues. Below are documented instances in 2025 where Hoffman voted with Republicans, based on available information:
Delay of Paid Family and Medical Leave Implementation (2025):
Hoffman voted with Republicans to delay the implementation of Minnesota’s paid family and medical leave program, a key DFL initiative. This vote was notable as it diverged from the DFL’s push to advance progressive labor policies, reflecting a pragmatic approach in a closely divided legislature.
Rejection of Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Omnibus Bill (HF2563, May 2025):
On May 18, 2025, Hoffman was the lone Democrat to vote with Republicans against HF2563, the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Omnibus bill. This bill proposed funding projects to protect Minnesota’s land, water, and environment, allocating $777 million previously approved by voters through the Legacy Act. Hoffman’s “No” vote aligned with 29 Republicans against 33 Democrats and four Republicans who voted “Yes.” His reasoning isn’t explicitly detailed, but it may reflect concerns over specific provisions or fiscal priorities.
Clarification on MinnesotaCare Repeal Vote:
Contrary to some claims on X, Hoffman did not vote with Republicans on June 9, 2025, to repeal MinnesotaCare eligibility for illegal alien adults. He voted “No” on HF1, aligning with most DFL senators against the repeal, which passed with a 37-30 vote due to four other DFL senators (Grant Hauschild, Ann Rest, Robert Kupec, and Erin Murphy) joining Republicans. The misinformation stemmed from unverified X posts, but legislative records confirm his opposition to the repeal.
On Monday morning in McAllen, Texas, Ryan Louis Mosqueda opened fire on a U.S. Border Patrol facility and was subsequently killed by responding law enforcement officers.
Authorities said the motive is unknown, and the FBI is leading an ongoing investigation into the active shooter incident.
Mosqueda carried an assault rifle and utility vest, and officers found another rifle and additional ammunition at the scene after agents and local police returned fire.
One McAllen police officer was injured, with it unclear if the wound was from shrapnel or a bullet, but the officer remains in stable condition and was treated and released.
One member of the armed mob accused of ambushing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at a Texas detention center on the 4th of July allegedly called her immigrant husband from jail to hide evidence from their home that contained “anti-government and anti-Trump documents,” sources told The Post Wednesday.
Maricela Rueda allegedly called her husband, Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada, and directed him to tow her car from their Dallas home, which investigators believe was a “staging location” for the attack.
She allegedly also told her husband to do “whatever you need to do, move whatever you need to move at the house,” according to court documents.
Surveillance photos appeared to show Sanchez Estrada carrying boxes to a car, where cops later found “a handwritten training, tactics, and planning documents for civil unrest with anti-law enforcement, anti-government, and anti-Trump sentiments.”

If you attempt to wear a red MAGA hat in leftist-controlled states, you will likely be beaten or spat on.
There is nothing political that you can wear which would cause anyone on the right to beat you or spit on you in any state.
Matt Taibbi: The left has become exactly what they accused the right of being
Leftists violence threatens us all, and threatens the existence of the country.
The Unabomber, for all his faults, described leftism perfectly:
Academia incites leftist violence, billionaires abet it, and the media excuses it, if they report on it at all.
The left is rioting, looting, tearing down statues of all political figures, even abolitionists, and worst of all, murdering those who disagree. No one on the right is doing any such thing.
We need to speak up and remove all BLM cult signs, which are incitements to violence. Those signs promote hate, beatings, riots, lootings, and murder.
BLM and violent leftists are a cult which murders innocent people.
All the hate for Trump has become hate for orderly civil life, hate for mutual respect, and hate for calm reasoned debate. All TDS is incitement to violence.
To end leftist violence we first have to tell the truth about it (please mail p@patrick.net with more):
Leftist cancellations, boycotts, and threats:
Leftist firings and school suspensions:
Leftist beatings and shootings:
Leftist murders:
Special bonus deaths due to leftists:
How we got here.
We need to start a class action suit against BLM, NPR, the NY Times, and all of those leftists who have contributed toward making America a far more hateful and violent place. Incitement to violence is a crime.
The goal of all of this leftist discrimination and violence is ultimately genocide.
