Minnesotans: tomorrow every one of our state parks is free. Get out and enjoy one of our 64 beautiful parks — they're some of my favorite places to visit. I took this photo years ago of a Lady's Slipper in full bloom at Itasca State Park. 🌸

This is how fragile rural internet is: one small company fails, and families and businesses across 5,000 square miles go dark. 120,000 Minnesota households still lack reliable broadband. My Last Mile Initiative will connect every Minnesotan with broadband they can count on.

I am honored to earn the endorsement of the Minnesota Professional Fire Fighters Association. Today I joined President Scott Vadnais and Minnesota firefighters in Minneapolis to highlight the need to support our first responders who put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

The New World screwworm is a serious threat to livestock, farmers, ranchers, and rural economies. I’m urging the USDA to hire more veterinarians, expand research, and ensure we have the tools needed to stop this infestation. https://ow.ly/iVuu50ZbaBM

Alex and Michaela are both high school teachers. They chose careers serving their community, and they shouldn't have to sacrifice financial stability because of it. I launched my housing plan with them because every Minnesotan deserves the chance to afford a home and build a future.

The war in Ukraine has now lasted 1,569 days, surpassing the length of World War I. Every day this war continues is another day thousands of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia remain separated from their families. We cannot stop working to bring them home.

Speaker Hortman was my dear friend. Her kids, Colin & Sophie said it best: honor her & Mark by doing something to make our community a little better for someone else. That was their life. Tina & I spoke on the Senate floor today about all Melissa & Mark did for the world. That is their legacy.

A great kickoff to summer! ☀️ Had a blast with Team Klobuchar at Grand Old Day!

Making life more affordable for Minnesotans starts with making housing more affordable. That’s why I’m committed to putting Minnesota on a path to build 100,000 homes and lower housing costs for Minnesota families.

As former Mayor of Fergus Falls, my running mate Ben Schierer knows that housing and economic growth go hand in hand. If workers can't find a place to live, businesses can't grow. Our plan will build more homes, lower costs, and create more opportunities across Minnesota.

Republicans in Congress just wrote ICE a $70 billion blank check. This is the same agency that has violated the constitutional rights of American citizens, defied court orders, and made Minnesota less safe. I voted no.

Protecting your right to vote is protecting democracy. And right now, that democracy is under attack. Proud to stand with Stacey Abrams, who knows what it means to fight back.

Celebrating Women Winning’s 44th Annual Luncheon with Nevada Littlewolf, Rep. Kelly Morrison, and Stacey Abrams. Surrounded by these leaders, I can’t help but feel hopeful about the future we envision — and that we are building — together.

I don’t know many farmers in Minnesota who have been “doing very well” under this administration. Between the tariffs and higher costs, life hasn’t gotten easier for them.

For too many families, homeownership feels less like an opportunity and more like an uphill climb. Today I laid out my plan to lower housing costs for Minnesotans. Read more: www.amyklobuchar.com/priorities/lower-housing-costs-for-minnesotans

Back at First Avenue last night for the National Independent Venue Association’s annual conference. ⭐ Thanks to Dayna Frank for hosting. I fought to pass the Save Our Stages Act because independent venues bring people together, support local jobs, and strengthen our communities.

It was great to welcome Stacey Abrams to Minnesota yesterday. She joined Secretary of State Steve Simon and me at the Sabathani Community Center to talk about voting rights, voter protection and the work it takes to make sure every voice is heard.

Trump Calling Welker “crooked” “stupid” and then the ultimate—“darling”—for asking him what evidence he has that elections are rigged? What is “crooked” is the money for the ballroom, what is “stupid” are the tariffs. And what is “darling” is a first class journalist.

Russia's abduction of Ukrainian children is a horrific violation of human rights. I've led bipartisan efforts to help locate these children, reunite them with their families, and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. www.startribune.com/russia-war-o...

The Superior Trail is one of Minnesota’s treasures that I've loved hiking with John over the years. But we don’t compare to Michael who completed the entire 310-mile trail in five days at age 69. It was a great way to celebrate the trail’s 40th anniversary in Duluth.

The Aerial Lift Bridge is a Minnesota landmark that connects Duluth's port to the rest of the world. I joined Mayor Reinert & local leaders in Duluth from labor & business to highlight federal funding we worked to secure that will restore this iconic bridge and preserve it for generations to come.

In Bloomington with Police Chief Hodges, Sheriff Witt, and the NOBLE Northstar Chapter as they celebrated 50 years of dedication and service by Black leaders in law enforcement. I'll keep working to ensure officers have the support they need to keep us safe.

Great to have Kentucky Governor Beshear in Minnesota! He’s created 70,000 jobs, expanded healthcare access, and brought critical investments to his state — working across the aisle along the way. That’s what fighting for working people looks like.

Eighty-two years ago today, thousands of Americans and Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to defend freedom and democracy. Their courage changed the course of history, and we honor their bravery and sacrifice.

The Director of National Intelligence has access to our most sensitive intelligence. Yet with everything the U.S. is facing, the President has handed that responsibility to Bill Pulte, a housing regulator with no intelligence experience. Totally unqualified and our Republican colleagues know it.

Another day of Trump padding the pockets of his wealthy donors instead of doing anything to help Minnesotans.

Instead of lowering costs for Americans, the Trump Administration is focused on writing blank checks for ICE and rewarding January 6 rioters who attacked the officers defending our Capitol. I voted no.
- AK
I voted until 5 a.m. today to block Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. Your tax dollars should not be going to Jan. 6th rioters who went after officers. And why give MORE money to ICE when they’re already bigger than the FBI? The extra 70B could instead fund yrs of health care!
- AK
HAPPENING NOW: Senate Republicans are trying to push through an extra $70 billion for ICE, which already has a record level of funding. This does nothing to lower costs for families. I’ll be opposing this bill.

Pennsylvania guarantees permit refunds if the state misses its deadline. Arizona requires it by statute. Connecticut just signed it into law in January. When I’m Governor, we’ll get this done for Minnesotans.

When he was mayor, Ben worked to revitalize Fergus Falls's riverfront. We need to bring economic development and good paying jobs to communities across Minnesota, and I’m looking forward to working with Ben to get this done.

Today marks 500 days of Donald Trump's presidency. In that time, he's launched a war with Iran that has caused gas prices to skyrocket, imposed tariffs that raised costs, and made life more expensive. This November, voters will be able to put a check on this guy and finally start turning the page.
- AK
Good — now let's pass it in the Senate and get this done.

The DOJ just permanently shielded Trump from IRS audits on returns already filed — for him, his family, and his businesses. Another day focused on protecting himself rather than the American people.

Americans have paid $53 billion more for gas and diesel because of the Iran war, but Treasury Secretary Bessent just said inflation is a “blip.” Not for families paying at the pump.

Americans are facing higher gas prices, higher costs, and more uncertainty because of President Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran.

I had a great time stopping by Bolt's Grocery Store in Lake Benton and meeting owners Bill and Kelly Bolt. With groceries, a cafe, and a bait shop all under one roof, Bolt’s is a vital community hub. We need to support local grocers in rural Minnesota. www.lincolncountynews.net/article/801,...
