This evening I was on the National Mall to honor the lives of fallen Minnesota law enforcement officers Felicia Reilly, Richard Legler, & Jesse Branch at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial candlelight vigil. They made the ultimate sacrifice & served with honor. 🇺🇸

Today, I voted to rein in President Trump’s war in Iran — and 3 Republicans voted with us. We need more of them to stand up and join us to end this reckless war and work together to bring down skyrocketing costs for the American people.

In Minnesota, our legislature just advanced common-sense legislation to protect our kids from addictive features on social media. Big tech isn’t going to step up, so our lawmakers did.

Higher fuel costs are driving up grocery prices across the country. This administration’s reckless war with Iran is rippling through our economy, with families and small businesses paying the price.

Three federal judges tried to override decades of science and ban a medication the FDA has deemed safe for 25 years. The Supreme Court put that decision on hold—but the fight isn’t over. We must keep fighting to protect reproductive freedom.

I’m standing with parents and advocates to push for the Kids Online Safety Act to hold platforms accountable, strengthen parental tools, and bring transparency to the algorithms shaping what our kids see.

Trump really just said “I don't think about Americans’ financial situation.” That’s what he should be doing every day.

Great to be with some energized DFLers from across Lyon, Yellow Medicine, and Redwood counties last week. Minnesotans are ready to come together, get to work, and move our state forward.

Right now, I'm heading to our Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on fertilizer supply & affordability. Farmers in Minnesota & nationwide are being squeezed by rising input costs — like higher fuel costs — driven by the Administration’s tariffs & the ongoing conflict in Iran.

This weekend I was honored to join hundreds of MN National Guard families whose loved ones are stationed overseas at a very special lunch sponsored by Serving Our Troops. Good to also see Rep. McCollum & Mayor Her. Thanks to Mancini’s & volunteers for serving steaks to our troops overseas as well.

Trump’s ballroom is another example of this administration’s misplaced priorities. Americans see that — and they don’t support it.

The Minnesota Legislature voted to establish an independent Office of the Inspector General to investigate fraud - the bill passed with strong bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. This is an important step in rooting out fraud and holding government accountable.

The Fargo-Moorhead diversion project is critical to protecting homes and businesses from flooding. It was great to zoom in to join leaders to celebrate this step forward — I worked across the aisle with Sen. Hoeven to secure this funding and keep this effort moving. www.inforum.com/news/moorhea...

Minnesota cannot afford to have a rubber stamp for the President in the governor's office. From the tariffs to health care cuts, I have taken on the White House and gotten things done for our state.

One thing about my mom, she loved fishing. Some of my best memories growing up are from fishing trips with her. This fishing opener weekend, I'm thinking about my mom — and hoping everyone out there makes a few memories of their own. Happy Mother's Day!

In Marshall, I met with local leaders, small business owners, and providers about the child care shortage. When parents can’t find care, businesses can’t find workers. We must be committed to expanding access and increasing affordability. www.marshallindependent.com/news/local-n...

Stop 6 of my west central Minnesota rural tour: Litchfield! Everyone should try the cheese at Fieldgate Cheese store. I’ve got the jalapeño farmers’ cheese 🧀 🌶️ but there is much more! The coop has been operating for over 100 years with local dairy products!

Stop five of my western Minnesota rural economy tour: Willmar. The intersection at Hwy 23 and CSAH 55 in Kandiyohi County has caused serious injuries and even deaths. I worked with Willmar Mayor Reese and local leaders to secure federal funding that will complete a new, safe overpass.

Stop two on my western MN rural economy tour: Lake Benton. I was at Bolt’s Grocery, owned by Kelly & Bill Bolt. With groceries and a cafe, it is a gathering place for all. With the fishing opener Saturday we had to check out the minnow tank! Like I said, they’ve got it all.

Stop One of my western Minnesota rural tour: Marshall! Met with the Mayor and chamber and city leadership and day care providers to discuss ideas for RURAL child care. To expand our economy we need more available child care! I’ve long supported federal efforts on this front.

Minnesota’s hemp industry supports farmers and small businesses, and a one-size-fits-all nationwide ban ignores the strong safety rules we have in place. I’m working across the aisle with Sen. Rand Paul to reverse the federal ban that is threatening jobs in Minnesota.

Nurses in Minnesota and across the country have been on the frontlines of health care, caring for patients and supporting families through every challenge. This Nurse Appreciation Week, I am grateful for all the life-saving care and dedication you bring every day.

As a former prosecutor, I know we need to root out fraud and hold people accountable. As governor, I will order a top-to-bottom audit of our state agencies, strengthen criminal penalties, and increase in-person inspections. And that’s just the start. www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/minneso...

Across Minnesota, gas prices are over $4 a gallon. Americans are already dealing with high everyday costs, and this administration’s unilateral war with Iran is only making it worse — and it has to stop.

Minnesotans are right to be angry about fraud. It is unacceptable and it must end. As governor, I will strengthen criminal penalties and launch a top to bottom audit of state government to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. Learn about my plan here: www.amyklobuchar.com/html/assets/...

Every year, I visit all 87 counties. I build coalitions with proven housing leaders like former St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and people from across Minnesota to get things done. That's what we need to build more homes so that we can make housing more affordable.

I will show up for all Minnesotans, whether you're a Republican, Democrat, or Independent. Will work with solution-focused mayors like Hollies Winston of Brooklyn Park to deliver results from fixing roads to public safety. Great to have him there when I laid out my plan to reform state government.

Breaking good news: The Supreme Court just restored access to mifepristone via mail, pharmacy and telehealth. But remember it is simply temporary and the fight to restore a woman’s right to health care access continues state-by-state and on the national level.

When it comes to housing, healthcare, and child care one size doesn’t fit all across our state. I'm grateful to have the support of Greater Minnesota leaders like Grand Rapids Mayor Tasha Connelly and honored she joined us when I laid out my plan to reform our state government.
