I’ve said it before and I’ll said it again: Gender-affirming care is healthcare, period. It is evidence-based, backed by the American Medical Association, and helps trans individuals live their lives with the dignity we all deserve. Gender-affirming care saves lives.

Once again, the Trump Administration is threatening to let the needy go hungry. Donald Trump is doing whatever he can to keep vulnerable people hungry and scheming new ways to punish the states that want to keep them fed.

No one should be taken advantage of because they miss their family. But that’s what these defendants did. I filed this lawsuit so no one else is harmed or defrauded into giving up their savings, because someone saw people’s love of their families as a way to scam hard-working Minnesotans.

I have strongly supported the CFPB, as both AG and a member of Congress and I don’t intend to stop. Attorneys general have broad powers in state and federal law to protect consumers, and I will use all the tools available to me to protect Minnesotans from financial harm.

The spread of Cryptocurrency ATMs has me extremely concerned. While these ATMs are not scams themselves, many scammers trick their targets into sending money via cryptocurrency ATM because those transactions are virtually impossible to trace.

If you own a Kia or Hyundai and have been struggling with auto thefts, help is finally on the way. Thanks to a settlement my office reached, you’ll be able to get a free hardware upgrade to prevent theft. Here’s everything you need to know ↓↓↓

With our latest settlement, we are improving public safety by preventing crime before it happens. The upgrades Kia and Hyundai will be forced to make will prevent and deter countless auto thefts. I will always do everything I can to protect the safety of Minnesotans.

I am committed to vigorously defending Minnesota’s medical providers who do incredible work to treat and care for all Minnesotans, including our trans neighbors. I have already taken the Trump Admin to court to stop them from scapegoating the trans community. I will not hesitate to do so again.

Today’s charges and guilty plea are an important step in combatting fraud and protecting our tax dollars. It boils my blood that fraudsters are taking advantage of that generosity, and my office and I will gladly partner with all those who are also committed to holding fraudsters accountable.

Donald Trump has once again shown his utter lack of decency and humanity by brazenly lying about Minnesota's Somali community tonight.

It's hard for Minnesotans to afford their lives when businesses are trying to deceive them. An ad for "11% OFF EVERYTHING" clearly implies you can buy goods at an 11% discount, not that you can participate in a limited rebate program or get in-store credit on future purchases.

BREAKING: My office reached a nationwide settlement with Kia & Hyundai that requires them to install ignition cylinder protectors (pictured below) in their theft-prone vehicles for free. This will protect Kias & Hyundais from the kinds of viral thefts we've these past few years.

Too many Minnesotans have lost money to subscriptions they thought they canceled or didn’t realize they signed up for in the first place, and that’s unacceptable. I’m suing Uber to stop these predatory business practices and force them to do right by the people of Minnesota.

Minnesotans are counting on our state to keep energy costs down, create good paying jobs, and combat climate change. Wind energy helps us achieve all those goals. I will always do everything I can to ensure Minnesotans can afford their lives with dignity, safety, and respect.

Tonight, I’ll be joining Anderson Cooper on @cnn.com to talk about standing up to Trump’s racist attacks on our Somali neighbors. I hope you’ll tune in to watch, I’m going on at 7:25p CT.

Donald Trump’s disgraceful attacks on Minnesota’s Somali community are injecting more of his poisonous racism into our beloved home state. Hearing him single out our people based solely on their race and country of origin is downright disgusting.

My job as AG is to help Minnesotans afford their lives, which means guarding against predatory lending practices. I am launching an inquiry into buy-now pay-later companies to determine whether they comply with Minnesota law and treat consumers fairly.

In this time of unprecedented attacks on our freedoms and the rule of law, I'm grateful for the opportunity to defend the people of Minnesota as your Attorney General. Happy Thanksgiving, Minnesota.

I am shocked and appalled by the shooting of two members of the National Guard in Washington D.C. today. There's still a lot we don't know about the shooting. In the meantime, I'm hoping the victims fully recover. My prayers are with them and their loved ones.

If the Trump gets his way, tens of thousands of formerly homeless people will end up getting evicted from their homes through no fault of their own. I will not sit back and allow this administration to throw families out on the street.

Donald Trump is not a king. Yet, when Donald Trump tried to dismantle government agencies created by Congress to reduce homelessness, support small businesses, resolve labor disputes, he did exactly that. I will always protect the important work these agencies do. and uphold the rule of law.

Donald Trump wants to turn us against each other, but Minnesotans don't turn on our neighbors. People from all walks of life and all across the world are proud to call our state home, and Minnesota is better for it.

ICE's actions in Minnesota this last week are deeply disturbing. Masked agents in Northfield pulled a father out of a car at gunpoint and arrested him in front of his son. After, ICE claimed he attempted to drive over agents despite the fact that he was in the passenger seat.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance, honoring the trans, nonbinary, and Two-Spirit individuals who were killed in acts of anti-trans violence. To our trans neighbors: I will always stand with you against violence and continue to fight for a world where you can live with dignity, safety, and respect.

It’s hard to afford your life when your landlord is illegally coordinating with their rivals to keep your rent as high as possible. I will keep fighting to end these unjust practices and to make the market fairer for renters.

I'm committed to partnering with advocates to create a responsible path forward for the industry federally, similar to what has been done here in MN, in order to support MN consumers, small businesses, and farmers. My full thoughts, now on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/affordin...

It’s unacceptable when scammers target any Minnesotan. It’s particularly galling when scammers go after Minnesota’s veterans, who have risked and sacrificed so much on our behalf. Anyone preparing claims without authorization is breaking the law and taking advantage of veterans.

Trump spent the weekend golfing while intentionally letting 42M Americans go hungry. Today, I joined @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, @newjerseyoag.bsky.social, and staff from City Harvest & No Kid Hungry for an update on our fight to protect SNAP benefits and feed our neighbors.

It should never have come to this. Trump chose to hold hungry Minnesotans hostage while billionaires got richer by the second. I will never stop fighting to unrig this economy and the powerful interests — including in the White House — that profit off it while Americans suffer.

Online platforms offering sportsbooks and casino games run by out-of-state and overseas operators may make it look like online gambling is legal and safe in MN, but let me be clear: it's not. Thanks to Comm'r Jacobsen and the MN Dept. of Public Safety for partnering with my office on this issue.

Listen now: Our case to stop Trump's illegal tariffs is now in front of the US Supreme Court. Tune in to listen to the oral arguments at the link below.

Yesterday, I visited the Hallie Q. Brown Community Center and food shelf in Rondo to talk with @mccollum.house.gov and Ramsey County Commissioner Rena Moran to talk about the importance of SNAP and ensuring no Minnesotan goes hungry. I am proud to stand with them and to fight Trump's cruelty.

While we continue to the fight in court to fully fund SNAP benefits, food banks like @2harvest.bsky.social are helping to feed people. We will not stand by while Minnesotans go hungry.

I won’t let Trump use hunger as a political weapon. His Department of Agriculture has multiple ways to continue feeding hungry Minnesotans during the shutdown. And instead of using it, they tried to take food off the table of kids and families across the country.

Recently, I joined 38 of my fellow attorneys general in urging Congress to clarify federal law with respect to hemp and synthetic THC. This has generated some confusion, and I’d like to clarify what the letter means. My full thoughts, now on Substack: affordingyourlife.substack.com/p/protecting...

It is hard to be shocked by the cruelty and illegality of the Trump administration anymore, yet I am shocked that Trump is deliberately allowing 440,000 Minnesotans, to go hungry. I am taking the Trump administration to court to help feed people in need.

Trump is trying to roll back the Minnesota Dream Act. My office is fighting this case to ensure that thousands of MN students have affordable college access. Thanks to the students who wrote in to thank our office and to share your stories.

This week, the MN Supreme Court ruled that trans athletes have the right to compete in sports without discrimination under the MN Human Rights Act. My office proudly represented the MN Dept. of Human Rights in filing an amicus brief for the case.

Join us next week for a community forum focused on veterans. Share your story with AG Ellison and learn about the work of our office to protect jobs at the VA, hold benefit scammers accountable, and more. RSVP required: ag.state.mn.us/2025forums

Folks, Donald Trump is raising your energy costs so he can cut taxes for the richest Americans. Rest assured, we are taking him to court to ensure you can afford your life and live with safety, dignity, and respect.

Keeping the government open, protecting healthcare, and respecting the people who serve our country should not be partisan issues. It’s time for Republicans to put politics aside and start serving the people. New post out now on Substack: affordingyourlife.substack.com.

My mission as AG is to help you afford your life, so I’m suing these fraudulent contractors to recover the hard-earned money they stole from Minnesotans. If you've been ripped off by these bogus contractors, or any other scam, I encourage you to file a complaint with my office: ag.state.mn.us.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day, Minnesota. I am proud to stand with our 11 sovereign tribal nations, who have stewarded our land since time immemorial. We can work together to ensure everyone has the right to live with dignity, safety, and respect.

The indictment of Tish James and the indictment of James Comey — both completely unsupported by any actual fact — along with Trump’s raft of unconstitutional executive orders and the deliberate humiliation of top military leaders all have one thing in common: they’re hallmarks of fascism.

Donald Trump just told 800 top military leaders that they need to prepare to confront an “invasion from within.” He is preparing the United States military to turn on Americans who don’t agree with him. This is tyranny. More on Substack: affordingyourlife.substack.com.

It is essential that we hold individuals who commit gun violence accountable, and if businesses break the law and contribute to that violence, they must be held accountable as well. I will always use every tool at my disposal to improve public safety in Minnesota. bit.ly/mn-ago-fleet-farm

As AG, my job is to help people afford their lives and live with dignity, safety, and respect. And nothing is more central to our mission than housing. Thanks to the @startribune.com for covering the work of our office and non-profit partners to deliver safe, affordable housing for MN families.

Donald Trump and the Republicans who control the House and the Senate shut down our government to protect tax cuts for billionaires. They are wreaking havoc on every aspect of our healthcare system and our economy and our ability to afford our lives.

Few things are more important than having a safe place to call home—but Havenbrook's negligence caused its tenants to live in appalling conditions. That's not just disgraceful, it's illegal—so I sued them, won back over $4MM for their tenants, and got Havenbrook to leave MN.

The Trump Administration tried to stop our tax dollars from coming back to MN to fund law enforcement, prepare for natural disasters, and improve public safety. They failed. I will always defend the rule of law and protect the rights and safety of Minnesotans everywhere.
