Rather, joining with Democrats from other states, Ellison has won two injunctions and filed three other lawsuits against the Trump administration, according to a memo his office prepared for the News Tribune Editorial Board. The legal actions — related to reproductive rights, Trump's push for a border wall, and other issues — were listed at the top of a three-page detailing of "accomplishments" during Ellison's first 65 days in office. Separating politics from the work he was elected to do certainly does seem to be the challenge many suspected it would be for Ellison.

As House Democrats seem set in their ways regarding the farm bill, House Republicans plan to keep plugging away. Davis said ranking member Rep. Collin Peterson (D- Minn) will ultimately catch the brunt of the criticism, but doesn’t believe that the party’s stance is being driven by him, and instead points to Representatives further up the chain. Specifically, he blames Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) “It’s all about November,” said Davis. Aron Carlson, president of the Illinois Corn Growers Association, said that his members are most concerned with crop insurance changes in the farm bill. Brian Healy, manager of ethanol export market development, with the U.S. Grains Council (USGC), they are constantly working to find new ways to export more ethanol.
