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

It was wonderful welcoming the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Leadership Conference to Minnesota this year. I was honored to join so many inspiring leaders and grateful to receive the People’s Champion Lifetime Achievement Award.

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.

Happy World Bicycle Day! Some of my favorite memories are the miles I rode with my dad across Minnesota. Hope everyone can get out on this beautiful day and make a few memories of their own.

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.
- AK
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,...

Ground beef now costs about $7 a pound at the grocery store — that’s a record high. As families grapple with higher prices, the White House seems focused on everything but lowering costs.

Last night the people of the Twin Cities received the JFK Profile in Courage Award. It was an inspiration to be there as Imam Yusuf Abdulle, Natalie Ehret, Carolina Ortiz & Zena Stenvik accepted the award. As Yusuf said: “I encourage everybody to choose to be brave.” That's what Minnesotans did.

The people of the Twin Cities are being awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award tonight. This winter, Minnesotans showed the world what courage looks like. Our state was the center of America's heartbreak, but we were also the center of America's hope.

Ben Schierer will make a great Lieutenant Governor. He has a long history of serving his community in Fergus Falls, and he’s a proven leader in economic development in rural Minnesota. He will be a great partner to work with me on moving Minnesota forward.

He knows what it takes to run a small business – he’s run two of them. He knows what it takes to get results by bringing people together – because that’s what he did as mayor. Together we’ll bring that energy to every corner of Minnesota.

Today I'm excited to announce my running mate for Lieutenant Governor: former Fergus Falls Mayor Ben Schierer. Ben hasn’t just talked about how to create opportunities in greater Minnesota – he’s actually done it.

Prices continue to rise and paychecks can’t keep up. President Trump’s tariffs and war with Iran are driving up costs and the American people are paying the price.

I was in Blaine for the Highway 65 Reconstruction Project groundbreaking. These four highway overpasses (combo of state, federal & local funding) will finally & vastly improve one of the most dangerous stretches of road in Minnesota. Less congestion, less traffic lights and safe driving. YES!

Rochester Airport continues to keep up with the times and it is an airport that receives life-saving organs and equipment every day. We got federal funding for an upgrade that will improve safety and support cargo, air ambulances, pilot training, and local businesses.

Honored to receive the endorsement of the Minnesota AFL-CIO. I come from a Union family. The unions made the mines safe where my grandpa worked. Both my mom and dad belonged to unions. When unions are strong, our economy is strong. When our economy is strong, America is strong.

Tariffs and global instability are driving up fertilizer costs for Minnesota farmers. I was in Mankato because some of the biggest innovations are happening right here: converting local biofuels into domestically sourced fertilizer, creating jobs, and cutting dependence on China.

On this Eid al-Adha, I’m thinking of Minnesota’s Muslim community and all those gathered in prayer today, especially following today’s tragic shooting at an Eid prayer service at Canterbury Park. My thoughts are with the victim's family and the entire community.

Keeping costs down for farmers and families starts with keeping production local. The Central Farm Service and Minnesota Farmers Union are working together to do just that – and this is the kind of innovation our state needs. Good to be there with Gary Wertish and KC Graner.

Republican North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis is right that Congress decides how taxpayer dollars are spent — not the president. And your money shouldn’t go to people convicted of assaulting law enforcement and the Capitol on January 6th.

As Americans, we will have political differences. But two values always unite us: our respect for our country, and our respect for the men and women who serve it.
