When we ask our young men & women to fight for our nation, we make a promise to care for them when they come home. The PACT Act is a promise kept.

I introduced one of the first bills in the Senate to help veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. That fight became part of the bipartisan PACT Act & this week marks 4 years since this legislation was signed into law — expanding VA health care to nearly 3.5 million veterans exposed to toxic substances.

Our past has made us who we are. But our future is up to us. I want to build that future together. Let's get to work.

John and I are sending our deepest condolences to the family and fellow firefighters of the wildfire responder who died near Ely yesterday. Minnesota is grateful for every person still out there fighting these fires. https://ow.ly/wu4a50ZyY83

A federal judge just blocked Trump’s attempt to control mail-in voting — again — stating, “the executive branch has no authority to regulate elections.” The Constitution gives the power to administer elections to the states, NOT the president. https://ow.ly/8BvH50Zz7Pk

Congratulations to Jake Johnson on winning in Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District. After 20 years teaching Minnesota kids, Jake knows the challenges families are facing. Southern Minnesota families are going to have a real fighter in their corner. Let’s bring it home in November.

Thank you, Minnesota. Last night, you showed up for me and my running mate, Ben Schierer. And every step of the way, our families, our team, and our amazing volunteers and supporters have been right there with us. On to November!

A horrific tragedy at the daycare in Hopkins today, especially the loss of a child. My thoughts are with their loved ones, the other children who were there, their families, and the Hopkins community.

Congratulations to Peggy Flanagan, Minnesota’s next Senator! Thank you to Angie Craig for your work and your strong endorsement of Peggy last night. Now let’s get to work and win this in November!

Minnesotans expect leaders who deliver results, not excuses. That’s what I’ve done as your Senator, and that’s what I will do as your next Governor.

Minnesota has a proud tradition of showing up to vote, and this year we've already seen record early turnout. If you haven't voted yet, there's still time. Find your polling place below and head to the polls before they close at mnvotes.org.

A federal court ruled that Trump can’t build his $400 million White House ballroom without Congress’s approval. He’s vowing to appeal to the Supreme Court. Instead of lowering costs for American families, this is what he’s focused on. apnews.com/article/trum...

As Governor, I’ll launch a free one-year “Passport to Minnesota” pass for 6th graders and their families to visit state parks & museums & historic sites — connecting what students learn in 6th grade Minnesota history to the places where that history happened.

The best way to build the next generation of outdoor lovers? Get them outside! One part of my Conservation & Outdoor Rec plan I released at Game Fair: amyklobuchar.com/conservation

Two people have died in connection to the cyclosporiasis outbreak — the first U.S. deaths linked to this parasitic infection. The Trump Administration cut food surveillance programs and staff that helped catch outbreaks like this before they spread. Reverse those cuts.

I fought and won a major vote in the Senate this weekend to stop the hemp ban that would’ve devastated Minnesota’s farmers, brewers, and small businesses. Minnesota already has sensible safety rules in place, and now this moves to the House and must pass. www.startribune.com/klobuchar-se...

The perfect day at Game Fair to release my plan to support conservation and outdoor recreation in Minnesota — protecting Minnesota’s water, land, and wildlife so the next generation can continue to enjoy them. Stop by my booth to grab a copy of the plan or read it at amyklobuchar.com/conservation.

Every time I’m back at Game Fair, I’m reminded of the beloved Vikings coach and dedicated outdoorsman Bud Grant. Bud and I worked together to protect Minnesota’s outdoors for future generations and he was a huge supporter of Minnesota’s Legacy amendment.

Great to be at Game Fair and spend time with the people who know firsthand why Minnesota's outdoors are worth protecting — including Ron Schara, whose storytelling has shaped how Minnesotans see and value our natural resources.

Like most Minnesotans, I grew up in a family that valued the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation are a big part of Minnesota's heritage — and they must also be our future. As Governor, I'll protect our land, water, and wildlife habitats.

Fraud against the state is fraud against Minnesota taxpayers. As Governor, I’ll stop the fraud before it starts, update our technology to track state contracts, and send the criminals who steal your money to jail.

This buys us time, and I’m not done fighting.

Good news: The Senate voted to reject an attempt to strip the hemp ban delay out of the funding bill. A federal hemp ban would wipe out thousands of Minnesota jobs. Our farmers and small businesses are already following strong safety rules — a one-size-fits-all federal ban ignores that.

It is 330 am and good news for hemp farmers, brewers, small businesses & customers! On a 61-32 vote the Senate just defeated an effort to strip my provision that would delay the hemp ban. This gives Congress more time to find a solution, like the sensible safety rules in MN.

Minnesota's Hmong and Lao communities have strengthened our state in countless ways. This week marks an overdue milestone as Secret War veterans receive the recognition they earned through their service and sacrifice. Thank you to the veterans, families, and advocates who made this possible.

Minnesota school districts are already rethinking their screen-time policies – and parents are leading the way. As Governor, I’ll partner with school districts to build screen-time limits that actually work for kids, because keeping students on task starts with less time on a screen.

The Boundary Waters have a long road to recovery ahead. But parts are open again, and the restaurants and hotels and shops and outfitters in Ely and the rest of Northeast Minnesota need visitors now more than ever. There’s a lot to do up there!

Always good to spend time with Minnesota Farmers Union President Gary Wertish and Vice President Anne Schwagerl. I'm grateful for their partnership and commitment to strengthening agriculture and rural communities across our state.

It’s not Farmfest without a pork chop on-a-stick. Great to spend some time with Minnesota Farm Bureau President Dan Glessing! The weather was great but the pork chops were even better.

Donald Trump passed the largest cut to Medicaid in our country's history and let the health insurance premium tax credits expire. If Republicans won’t extend the tax credits, I’ll do it on the state level. Minnesotans need lower health care costs and they need them now.

Our farmers deserve leaders who are going to work together to find solutions to the challenges they're facing. I was ranked number one for bipartisan bills in the Senate and number three for getting bills signed into law, and that's how I will lead as Governor.

Great to be at Farmfest today to talk about my plans to expand our rural economy and support Minnesota farmers. I’ve heard the challenges farmers are facing from tariffs, high fertilizer prices, and cuts to rural health care. Our farmers need action, and I’m ready to get to work.

David Rivkin helped create a sound that put Minnesota on the map and inspired generations of musicians around the world. From helping launch Prince's career to shaping the Minneapolis Sound, his influence on music is immeasurable.

Summer means lawn signs — and this year, Minnesota is covered in them: front yards, Main Streets, even spotted along the parades I walk in. With Election Day less than 100 days away, help us keep that momentum going.

Cell phones don’t belong in the classroom. My plan to ban cell phones in K-12 classrooms and limit screen time keeps kids focused on what matters: learning. Let’s get it done.

Minnesota became the first state in the country to fully ban AI nudification technology, despite Elon Musk’s attempts to halt it. A federal judge denied his company’s petition to temporarily block the law. Minnesotans’ privacy isn’t up for interpretation.

Smoke from the Superior National Forest fires made air hazy and unhealthy across Minnesota. That’s why I’m backing the Wildfire Air Quality Sensor Expansion Act to help state agencies monitor air pollution and keep Minnesotans safe.

Huge for MN farmers, brewers, producers & customers! Now we need to pass it this week and get to House!
