One year in, the administration's tariffs are taking a toll on Minnesota businesses and their customers.

At the Bemidji Fire Station, I presented Kev and Dave of KB101 with the Broadcasters Crystal Award for Community Service. KB101 is the only radio station in the country to win this award 7 times!! Well-deserved recognition for their work keeping people safe and informed during last summer’s storm.

Anyone who has had a family member with Alzheimer's knows how hard that journey can be. We need to invest in finding a cure and improving care for Alzheimer's patients. I met with Duluth faculty and students at UMD medical school where they're advancing that mission for people in every zip code.

From NASA and something nice to wake up to: We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Great to visit Central Lakes College in Brainerd with President Dr. Charlier and Mayor Badeaux to tour their dental program and more. Hands-on training at community and technical colleges prepares the next generation of workers for the jobs we need. www.brainerddispatch.com/news/local/k...

Here in Duluth meeting with U of M doctors and researchers and looked out to see the Coast Guard ship Spar on its way to rescue this stranded-in-the-ice mammoth freighter. High drama on Lake Superior for anyone in Duluth right now! The cold and ice this week surprised everyone…

The President's budget request slashes funding for health care, our agriculture, and resources for families struggling with rising costs. Completely misplaced priorities.

OK Minnesota, the snow is just a momentary spring setback! ❄️ 🌹 In Bemidji with the Mayor, Fire Chief, United Way & DNR to get briefed on last summer’s storm recovery & tree removal. Bemidji Strong is the real deal & the people stand as tall as Paul Bunyan & Babe the Blue Ox!

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 5 thumbs up to the Conservation Corps, who are out in force helping Bemidji clear and dispose of the estimated 9 million fallen trees after last year’s 100 MPH wind storm. They love the snow ❄️ in April. Less dry wood! 🪵

The April snow didn’t slow anyone down in Brainerd today! Visited Central Lakes College with President Charlier and Mayor Badeaux. 6000 students learning the skills for good-paying and fulfilling jobs. The students and teachers were great!

At Bushmills Ethanol in Atwater to discuss rising gas prices and the need to expand biofuels. We need year-round E15 to lower prices for drivers, strengthen markets for farmers, and increase energy independence. www.wctrib.com/news/local/s...

This Administration is spending billions on a war with no strategy instead of lowering people’s health care and child care costs.

It’s been one year since the Administration's so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs — and the result? Higher costs for families, fewer markets for our farmers, and more uncertainty for small businesses.

Started my morning in Little Falls meeting with Mayor Zylka about two important projects for Little Falls: the Little Flyers Child Care Center and constructing a new railway overpass. I worked to secure funding for both projects that will support families and improve safety.

In Eagan for the grand opening of Solventum’s new research, development, and manufacturing hub. This investment will drive medical advances and support good-paying jobs. Minnesota is a global leader in health technology.

Loved meeting the incredible teachers, personnel, and students at Oak Grove Middle School. Who else did I run into but Deb, who began her career working in my mom’s classroom in Plymouth, and it was great to see the Bloomington Kennedy Choir.

Small businesses nationwide are paying the price, with tariffs adding over $300,000 in costs for the average importer. It’s time to reverse these reckless tariffs. www.americanprogress.org/article/in-t...

At Bushmills Ethanol in Atwater to highlight the need to increase biofuels in our fuel supply. With the administration’s war with Iran driving up gas prices, I’ll keep pushing for year-round E15 to lower prices at the pump and support Minnesota farmers.

We start the day w/this Washington Post headline: Gas hits $4 a gallon for the first time in nearly four years This didn’t need to happen. Self-inflicted wound on our country and most of the world by this administration. Unilateral actions without an endgame have consequences.

I was at the Minnesota Poultry Testing Laboratory in Willmar with the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association talking about the importance of disease prevention. This lab plays a critical role in supporting Minnesota farmers and keeping our food supply safe.

I visited workers at the 3M manufacturing plant in Hutchinson, where products like scotch tape are shipped everywhere. Thanks to CEO Bill Brown & plant manager Susie Nelson for showing me around. Investing in manufacturing & our workforce supports good jobs & helps MN companies compete globally.

They want to take away people’s health care to pay for their war in Iran while gas prices are spiraling as a result? That is just upside down for what Americans need right now.

Breaking and got done at 2:30 a.m.: Senate agrees to fund most of DHS, including TSA and FEMA, Coast Guard and CISA (cyber) but not ICE. FACTS: “The speedy agreement was surprising given Dems had requested it with Republicans objecting each time.” thehill.com/homenews/sen...

The Senate unanimously passed our resolution honoring Master Sgt. Nicole Amor's memory and sacrifice. She was a loving wife and mother of two. She served our country for 20 years and was a beloved member of her community. She will never be forgotten.

Great to see this bipartisan change in Minnesota—being a young parent should never be a barrier to serving our state. I led the effort in the U.S. Senate to allow newborns on the floor, but this is even more impressive.

New evidence ties Russian state-run companies to the forced abduction of Ukrainian children. This cannot be ignored — we need to bring them home and hold the perpetrators accountable for these atrocities.

First New Mexico, now a case in California. Jury after jury is finding that social media platforms are harming our kids - exposing them to predators, addictive algorithms, and more. We need rules of the road to keep our kids safe.
