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.

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.

Sue was always EVERYWHERE moved fast! But I most remember her love for new chefs and new ideas and young people pursuing their dreams. Thinking of her family today and her forever smile. https://www.startribune.com/sue-zelickson-matriarch-of-the-twin-cities-food-scene-dies-at-91/601876365do

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.

Buying in bulk gets you a better price. As Governor, I'll expand Minnesota's bulk purchasing of prescription drugs to lower costs.

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.

Just released budget extension in Senate includes provision based on my bipartisan bill to delay onerous hemp restrictions so we can put more sensible safety rules in place like we have in Minnesota. It goes through mid-December but that should allow more work on this issue.

Red Wing was the place to be today for the River City Days Parade! So much fun to join Mayor Gary Iocco and everyone celebrating this incredible community. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a great day.

Farmers are already being squeezed by higher costs for fuel, fertilizer, and equipment. Now many are seeing their health insurance premiums double. I put forward a plan to lower health insurance premiums and reduce health care costs for Minnesota families and farmers. We need action.

When Minneapolis Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw and I saw each other at a Prince celebration (where all good things happen), we ended up talking about how we could make the Camden railroad crossing safer. Frequent train blockages delay first responders, drivers, and pedestrians trying to get across.

Minnesota does big things – and nowhere is that more true than in medicine. We are home to leading hospitals, world-class research universities, and one of the largest medical technology hubs in the world.

Americans know that the cost of prescription drugs is too high. This week the Trump administration said it is cutting Medicare Part D, further increasing costs for seniors.

Today, new bipartisan reforms to address domestic violence passed by the Minnesota legislature go into effect. These new laws will better protect survivors, hold offenders accountable, and provide critical resources to organizations that serve victims.

The American Red Cross has declared a blood crisis as donations hit a four-year low. Every blood donation can help save lives. If you're eligible, consider rolling up your sleeve and donating. It's one of the simplest ways to make a real difference for someone in need.

Technology that generates nude images of people, oftentimes without their consent, is disturbing. Minnesota passed a bipartisan law to ban nudification technology. Now Elon Musk’s company is suing to block that law from taking effect.

The Trump administration is making it even more expensive to be a senior in America, ending a program that helps seniors afford coverage for their medications. Now seniors will have to pay more thanks to a president who thinks “affordability” is a made-up word.

These Lynx fans from Austin represent the best of Minnesota. Vanessa helped make Gordie's dream of attending a Lynx game come true, and Minnesotans responded with an incredible show of kindness. https://ow.ly/vXaY50ZuPCL

Dr. Dave Thorson is a family physician. He knows firsthand that primary care catches problems early, before they become a crisis. But our system too often makes people wait until they need the ER instead.

Rural hospitals across Minnesota are on the brink & Trump’s Medicaid cuts are making it worse. Rachelle Schultz of Winona Health knows that rural hospitals need a leader who fights to protect the care Greater Minnesota depends on. As Governor, I’ll make sure Minnesotans can get the care they need.

MN is one of the first states to allow vets to donate unused pet medicine to owners & shelters in need, thanks to bipartisan legislation passed by the state legislature. This will help more pets receive the medications they need while putting unused medicine to good use. https://ow.ly/eoeT50ZuplV

I made it a federal crime to share non-consensual nude images or deepfakes online with my bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act. Minnesota became the first state in the country to ban the technology used to create them. Elon Musk’s company is now suing to undo that. https://ow.ly/25KN50Zupi4
