I can’t believe I have to say this, but affordability is not a “made up” word or fake issue.

The murderer of Melissa and Mark Hortman was sentenced to prison for the rest of his life. Grateful that John and Yvette Hoffman—who courageously survived multiple gunshot wounds—are with us. Our hearts are with Colin and Sophie Hortman and everyone whose lives were forever changed by this tragedy.

As Trump continues his illegal war with Iran, Minnesotans are paying the price at the pump. Higher gas prices mean higher costs for families, small businesses, and farmers. We need leaders focused on lowering costs.

The CDC says more than 11,500 suspected cases of cyclosporiasis have been reported in 41 states. I’ve called on the CDC and FDA to restore their critical food safety programs so we can detect outbreaks quickly, identify their source, and keep families safe.

Rondo Days is an important reminder of the strength and resilience that define the Rondo neighborhood in Saint Paul — it was great to see everyone this weekend.

The last thing Minnesotans need is a rubber stamp for Donald Trump in the governor’s office.

A reported 1.5 million children have lost SNAP food assistance since the Republican budget bill became law. Letting kids go hungry while the President builds himself a ballroom is completely unacceptable. https://ow.ly/zCHv50Zrp3X

Crews are working hard to fight the northern Minnesota wildfires. But with new fires starting and wind posing a serious risk, our firefighters are on the front lines working around the clock to protect Minnesotans. https://ow.ly/47sl50ZroC3

Costs are up, chaos is up, and Minnesotans are paying the price. Donald Trump is more focused on building his ballroom than on helping Americans. I’m focused on lowering costs and getting things done.

QUESTION: Could Trump go one day without making things worse? HEADLINE: Trump to Impose 50% Tariff on Canadian Goods BOTTOM LINE: This is just bad, especially for Minnesota when Canada is our #1 trading partner & Trump’s tariff taxes have already hit us hard.

We can’t run a 21st-century state on 1990s technology. As Governor, I’ll modernize our outdated IT systems — stopping fraud before checks ever go out, cutting wait times on state applications, and making it easier to start and grow a business.

Ruth Richardson, Rep. Kelly Morrison, and Sen. Ann Johnson Stewart know what’s at stake in this election. We all do. Reproductive care is healthcare. As Governor, I’ll make sure it’s protected in Minnesota.

I was just in Ely with the Forest Service and firefighters who are battling these wildfires. Their message: the North Woods are still open for business. Outfitters, resorts, and shops need Minnesotans to keep showing up this summer. https://www.startribune.com/mn-wildfires-businesses/601868549

Cheers to more happy hours and less red tape! Starting August 1 — as a result of a bipartisan bill passed in the MN legislature this year — Minnesota nursing homes and assisted living facilities can host happy hours that bring seniors, their friends, and family together.

Good to be with our Somali Community today, 80,000 strong from Rochester to Moorhead to Minneapolis to St. Paul. Thanks to leaders Sen. Zaynab Mohamed, Rep. Mohamud Noor, Rep. Samakab Hussein, Minneapolis School Board member Abdul Abdi, and DFL Somali American Caucus Chair Qays Caly.

I had a great time at Lumberjack Days. Stillwater sure knows how to celebrate! Thanks to Mayor Ted Kozlowski and the local businesses for hosting a fantastic parade, it was great to be a part of it.

The fires in the Superior National Forest have now burned through 77,000 acres and crews are working to contain them. I’m grateful for the work that first responders, firefighters, and emergency crews are continuing to do to fight the fires and keep people safe in Northern Minnesota.

Great to celebrate Rondo Days w/ former Mayor Carter, St. Paul Councilmember Bowie, ReConnect Rondo Executive Director Keith Baker, & DFL-endorsed candidates Robyn Gulley & Sebastian Ellefson, while honoring the generations who have made this neighborhood an important part of St. Paul & Minnesota.

Minnesota’s first responders are doing heroic work battling the wildfires in northern Minnesota. I am committed to making sure they have every resource they need as this fight continues.

Premiums NATIONALLY are up 58%. Deductibles at a record high. Republicans ended the health care tax credits and now Minnesotans are losing coverage. Minnesotans deserve better, we must restore them.

I’m honored to have the support of LiUNA’s 14,000 members as we build a government that matches their work ethic and matches their ambition.

This administration cut food safety surveillance, and now a foodborne illness outbreak spread to at least 31 states with nearly 2,800 confirmed cases. I’m calling on the CDC and FDA to restore this funding to keep Americans and our food supply safe.

Thanks to the MN Building & Construction Trades Council for the endorsement & for hosting me at the convention today. MN needs a governor who will cut through the red tape of state government, invest in apprenticeships & fight for workers’ wages & safety. I'm honored to have their endorsement.

It is all hands on deck in Northeast Minnesota— local businesses are open, volunteers are pitching in, and neighbors are looking out for each other.

Up in Ely meeting with Forest Service leaders and state and local fire fighters and elected officials of both parties to hear directly about the unprecedented fires burning across the Superior National Forest. Grateful for their work.

Six years ago today, we lost Congressman John Lewis. I walked the Edmund Pettus Bridge with him — the bridge where he was violently attacked for standing up for voting rights. His message has never been more important: the right to vote is precious. It’s sacred. It’s our job to carry on his torch.

Health care premiums are skyrocketing because he won’t extend the tax credits. His tariffs are crushing Minnesota farmers & small businesses, and his war with Iran is raising prices even more. Instead of doing anything to lower costs for Americans, Donald Trump continues to attack the right to vote.

Despite everything he said tonight, Americans will go to the polls this fall because they don’t want more rubber stamps of Donald Trump.
- AK
He's relitigating an election he lost six years ago instead of focusing on what he should be fixing: costs are up for families across the country and his war has no end in sight.

Every American has the right to vote. But the President continues to attack that right, including once again voting by mail (which he has done himself).

Anil Menon grew up in Minneapolis. A field trip to the Science Museum of Minnesota inspired him to become an astronaut. This week, he arrived at the International Space Station for his first mission.

A good idea from a lab in Duluth or a farm outside Worthington should have a clear path to becoming a product, a company, and good-paying jobs for Minnesotans. As Governor, I will create a Minnesota Innovation Network to connect businesses to universities, research centers, and incubators statewide.

Reliable mail service matters for families, seniors, veterans, and small businesses. I'll keep fighting to make sure every Minnesota community gets the service it deserves.
- AK
Minnesotans shouldn't have to wait longer for their mail simply because of where they live. That's why I'm calling on the USPS to reverse changes that would slow mail delivery across Minnesota.
- AK
Air quality is now hazardous across most of the state — with records of wildfire smoke set in Duluth, Grand Portage, and the Twin Cities. Check on your neighbors and above all, stay safe, Minnesota.

Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our state, and I'm committed to helping them thrive for generations. We'll expand no- and low-interest emergency loans, strengthen farmer-lender mediation and mental health support, and open new markets for our crops. When farmers succeed, Minnesota succeeds.

Thankful to hear that Minnesota campers and counselors stranded by wildfires in Ontario are safe and heading home. Thank you to everyone who helped make this rescue possible — from first responders and Canadian officials to YMCA staff.

Washington Post headline: Fatal ICE shooting has Maine city on edge: ‘Tomorrow it could be someone else’ Minnesotans know this heartbreak. From Minnesota to Texas to Maine, there must be accountability and an end to these killings.

From the firefighters to the National Guard to the rangers in the BWCA, we are grateful for your service and bravery.

We know how powerful and fast-moving the fires are up north right now, and everyone should follow evacuation orders. Tonight I spoke with the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service about more resources for our brave local crews.

Just as we finally got the federal government to begin sharing evidence with investigators in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, two more people are dead — killed by ICE in Texas and Maine. Republicans in Congress need to stand up. These killings must stop.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Betrayal of a bill defunded women’s health and made the largest health care cuts in our nation's history. These headwinds may be a constant. But they can never be an excuse. As Governor, I will protect reproductive rights for the women of Minnesota.

This is long overdue, and much more needs to be done — and I will be working to get more answers at the hearing this week. The families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti — and all of Minnesota — deserve accountability and justice.

For months, the feds withheld evidence in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I’ve pressed the DOJ to release those records to the State investigators, including at a recent meeting. We understand that they are now sharing information with Minnesota investigators.
