The heartbreaking loss of Fletcher and Harper, the children injured and traumatized by this violence, and the strength and compassion of all the teachers, administrators, friends and family who stepped into the breach.

Tomorrow is the grand opening of the Minnesota State Fair, and it also marks 365 days since the lives of Annunciation School families were irrevocably broken by gun violence. I think about the Annunciation School community all the time.

Our region has long needed a DEA lab to go after drug dealers and combat substance misuse. It was great to join officials from across the region to celebrate the opening of our new DEA forensic lab, a critical project I was proud to secure $50 million to support.

I was glad to visit with PATHS leaders, providers, and patients in Danville yesterday to talk about the need to protect Medicaid and my bipartisan bill to strengthen the 340B program, which PATHS and so many other rural providers rely on to buy discounted medications.

By handing out massive tax breaks to the richest Americans, President Trump has blown a hole in our deficit and added trillions to the national debt. Instead of investing in the middle class, the President has prioritized the ultra-wealthy and put the economic security of our children at risk.

A few weeks ago I visited Windsor because for those of us who believe in a strong U.S.-Canada relationship, we have a responsibility to double down and show people that there are other American voices. Our relationship is going to be enduring long beyond this President.

36% of American households carry medical debt. Americans owe over $200 billion in medical debt. As many as 550,000 file for bankruptcy each year because of it. It’s time to make healthcare more affordable, transparent, and accessible. No one should go into debt just to get care they need.

As housing costs soar, Trump wants to eliminate legal protections for Americans who are unfairly denied a lease or a mortgage because of their disability, the color of their skin, or their kids. Today a court blocked one part of his attack on civil rights. Stay in the fight.

Diesel prices are nearing record highs, up more than 50% from a year ago. That means higher costs for farmers, small businesses, truckers, and American families. Trump’s war of choice is devastating our economy – and working Americans are paying the price.

As Governor, I’ll broaden the Rural Finance Authority to offer more no- and low-interest loans for farmers facing extreme weather, strengthen Farmer-Lender Mediation to help producers facing financial stress stay on their land, and work to make Minnesota agriculture even more resilient.

I will continue to work with @immigrantjustice.bsky.social and Children's Legal Center to end this Administration's disgusting attacks on children and relegate their actions to the dustbin of history where they belong.

Today, I attended a "mega master" immigration court hearing in Chicago—the latest ploy in Trump's cruel deportation campaign that has sown fear into our communities & derailed due process. The cruelty this Admin has inflicted on immigrants, especially children, is unfathomable.

Since Trump passed his Big, Beautiful Bill last July, roughly 5 million people have lost food assistance. Families will have a harder time putting food on the table all so that billionaires & corporations can get another tax break. It's cruelty as policy. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

106 years ago, generations of women organized, protested, and demanded the right to vote. The 19th Amendment was a victory, but not the finish line. On Women’s Equality Day, we honor that legacy by fighting for a country where every woman can thrive, and every voice can be heard.

106 years ago, the 19th Amendment was ratified, giving women the right to vote. That right wasn't freely given— it was earned in years of struggle. This Women's Equality Day, we reflect on that fight as we work to defend every American's right to make their voice heard.
- AK
Happy Women’s Equality Day! Today, we celebrate the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, as well as recognize the contributions women have made throughout our country’s history and continue to make today.

Republicans want to build a commission so they can sneak in benefit cuts without taking responsibility for them. They have no legislation; Democrats do. We could fix Social Security now, but Republicans want to pretend cuts are presented by a “commission.”

Apparently, Trump thinks the most important issue facing Americans right now is renaming lakes.

NEW DATA: Americans have been forced to spend an additional $3,800+ on everyday essentials since President Trump took office last year. Our new report shows how much more families have spent on housing, groceries, gas, health care, and more at the national, state, and district levels.

Now is not the time to roll back oversight of data centers. Americans deserve to know how these facilities will impact their communities. That’s why I’ve introduced legislation that would require data centers to be transparent about their energy and water use, emissions, and other key impacts.

Instead of lowering prices for working Americans, Trump is igniting a trade war with one of our closest allies. He's not billing Canada. He's billing American families, seniors, and working people.

While my Republican colleagues made devastating cuts to Medicaid that will wreak havoc on rural hospitals, I’m proud to stand up for them. Great to visit Richland Hospital to see how they’re using the $4.5 million I secured to make repairs so they can keep doing what they do best.

But according to new reporting, Trump intervened in the Live Nation case and met with its CEO at the White House — pushing a weak settlement that leaves fans, artists, and venues paying the price. That's why we must pass my bill to ensure these settlements actually protect consumers.

Farmers are some of America’s most resilient entrepreneurs. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do all we can to make their life and business easier. We need to bring down costs for American farmers by ending Trump’s illegal tariffs, war in Iran, and passing a new Farm Bill.

This settlement is a good step forward, but we shouldn’t just be relying on the courts to protect young people’s online safety. Congress needs to pass meaningful safeguards like my DETOUR Act.

Under Donald Trump, our VA has one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the country—denying Veterans care even in cases of rape, incest or serious health risks. Politicians have no business interfering in the personal health decisions of those who served. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Thank you to Northfield Hospital and Clinics for taking the time to talk with me today!

The staff at Northfield Hospital and Clinics are stepping up to care for their community, and it’s our job to make sure they can continue offering that quality care.

When we cut health care funding, rural hospitals are often the first ones forced to cut services, like labor and delivery, just to keep the general hospital doors open.
- TS
That’s why facilities like Northfield Hospital are so critical to filling that gap. Just this year, the Northfield Hospital expects to help deliver more than 800 babies.
