I was honored to stand alongside the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, the University of Minnesota, and legislators as we transferred 3,400 acres of land back to its original caretakers. I’m grateful for the work we’ve done to strengthen Tribal-state relations.

Happy Eid al-Adha to our Muslim friends and neighbors. Wishing all who observe a safe and peaceful holiday.

On Memorial Day, we honor the sacrifice and bravery of the warriors who died in service of our country. May God bless them, and may God bless their families.

Congratulations to Chief Justice and Associate Justice designates Theodora Gaïtas and Reggie Aligada - their diverse experiences and expertise will serve Minnesotans and our judiciary well.

As crews continue working to contain fires in the Northland, keep an eye out for evacuation orders and follow local guidance. www.wdio.com/front-page/t...

Minnesotans have said enough is enough. We are demanding action to protect our kids. House Republicans need to show some courage and tell Minnesotans where they stand.

168 years of the best state in the nation. Happy Statehood Day, Minnesota!

Happy Mother’s Day, Minnesota mamas! 💐

A big thanks to Women Anglers of Minnesota for hosting me on the St. Croix this morning – one sauger, one white bass, and two walleye!   And a friendly reminder that all moms across the state fish for free without a license this weekend! 🎣

Good morning and happy fishing opener, Minnesota!

Congratulations to Minnesota’s Teacher of the year, David Davis from Park Spanish Immersion Elementary! Thank you for bringing the joy of music to our students and our classrooms. www.fox9.com/news/st-loui...

Thank you to the Minnesota Jewish Community Center for inviting me to join you at Violins of Hope - a reminder that resilience is not simply surviving hardship, it is building community and continuing to show up for our neighbors.

On Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Awareness Day, we gathered to honor the memory of those we have lost and those who remain missing. We won’t stop until all of our relatives are protected in Minnesota.

Democrats are still committed to taking real action to protect our children and our schools. Minnesotans are ready for House Republicans act. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

For seven years, we’ve worked together to make Minnesota the best place in the nation to raise a family – and for the next eight months we’ll work to keep the state of our state strong.

On Workers Memorial Day, we honor those who have lost their lives and recommit to advancing workers’ rights to ensure every Minnesotan has access to the safe working conditions they deserve.

Supporting student parents is about more than a degree - it’s about strengthening families and creating opportunity across generations. Grateful to hear success stories from the Student Parent Alliance as we work to make sure our higher education system is working for everyone.

Minnesotans are demanding transparency, accountability, and justice for the violence the Trump Administration brought to our state. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/16/u...

Minnesota’s first in the nation Office for Missing and Murdered Black Women and Girls was founded with a simple goal - end the systemic neglect and violence faced by Black women and girls in our state. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Capitol to recommit to that goal.

Grateful to Let’s Talk Women for hosting a great discussion on the future of women’s health. From being the first state to codify reproductive freedom after Roe fell to promoting bias-free care, we’ve made big strides together and we’ll continue fighting for equity.

Natalie Hudson’s dedication to justice is inspiring. As she steps down from the bench as a historic chief justice, I’m grateful for her service and lifelong commitment to improving the lives of all Minnesotans. Miigwech, Madam Chief Justice.

Happy Easter, Minnesota! Today, we celebrate hope, faith, and the opportunity to remake the world and our hearts, every day.

From free school meals to expanded mental health resources to long-term funding increases in our schools, we’ve put our students first in everything we do at the Capitol. Today we’re celebrating Minnesota’s highest high school graduation rate on record.

I’m continually inspired to see the next generation of leaders advocating for themselves at the Capitol. Thank you to the Minnesota Council on Latino Affairs and these amazing youth for sharing your stories.

Wishing a joyful Passover to all who celebrate from our family to yours. Chag sameach!

To our trans and non-binary Minnesotans: we see you, we value you, and we love you. Minnesota will continue to fight for love over hate every step of the way.

Minnesotans deserve justice and accountability for the violence the federal government has laid at our doorstep. These attempts to block the truth are shameful. apnews.com/article/immi...

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. In Minnesota, we welcome and protect all of our neighbors - and we’ll continue to recognize the potential of all people to live, learn, work, and thrive.

During Women’s History Month, I gathered a group of women small business owners to hear their stories and how the state can help as we recover from Operation Metro Surge. Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and I’m inspired by the resilience of these women.

Eid Mubarak to our Muslim friends and neighbors! Wishing a safe and peaceful end to the holy month of Ramadan.

Thank you to the MSP chapter of the Delta Simga Theta Sorority, Inc. for inviting me to celebrate their 60th anniversary. Congratulations to all their members and alumni for 60 years of excellence, service, and transformational impact.

When we increase family incomes, we improve child outcomes. Our nation-leading Child Tax Credit has already delivered an average credit of nearly $2,700 to more than 154,000 families this tax season. Learn more about how you can claim it: www.revenue.state.mn.us/child-tax-cr...

As our economy rebounds from Operation Metro Surge, federal policy continues to drive up everyday costs for Minnesotans. Let’s get it passed. www.fox9.com/news/dfl-law...

It was such an honor to accept the Policy Maker of the Year award from the National Association of Social Workers Minnesota. This award belongs to their 2,000 members who tirelessly advocate for Minnesotans.

Thank you to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community for allowing me to join you during this sacred time of Ramadan - a month that embodies faith, resilience, and service.

Minnesota is built on the strength of our resilient agricultural community. Great to see the Minnesota Farmers Union at the Capitol as they advocate for the family farmers who feed our state, country, and world.

Tom and I are joining Minnesotans and Americans in mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor and the other service members killed in Kuwait. Minnesota is eternally grateful for her service and sacrifice. Our deepest condolences to all who loved her.

I’m grateful to all of the advocates who showed up in the People’s House to call for action in housing. We’ve made the single largest investment in housing in our state’s history, but we’re not done until every single Minnesotan has a safe and affordable place to call home.

Minnesotans are not giving up the fight against gun violence, and our administration won’t either. It’s time for the legislature to pass common sense gun laws - including a ban on assault weapons - because that’s what the vast majority of Minnesotans want.

I was honored to join Pastor Miller and the Progressive Baptist Church community for their African American Heritage worship service on Sunday. Thank you to Rev. Dr. Earl Miller for preaching an inspiring word.

✅ Free school meals
✅ Paid leave
✅ Nation-leading Child Tax Credit
✅ Historic housing investments   In Minnesota, our number one focus is lowering costs for working families, which is why we were just ranked the second-best state to raise a family. wallethub.com/edu/best-sta...

We won’t ever forget Melissa, Mark, and Gilbert Hortman. Now, we honor Melissa’s legacy by building the Minnesota she believed in and fought so hard for.

Speaker Hortman’s work will be felt for generations to come, not just in this chamber - but in the lives of every child who grows up in a better Minnesota. And every time I pet a Golden, I’ll think of her.

As Chair of the Capitol Security Committee, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to ensure that every person who enters the Capitol can do so without fear. Thanks to our team at the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for the speedy lines as session kicks off today!

Minnesota’s small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and they have been just one of the many victims of Operation Metro Surge. 

As federal troops prepare to leave, we need to rebuild. That’s why our administration is proposing $10 million in relief for those impacted.

Minnesota has witnessed horrific acts of gun violence and politically motivated attacks over the past year. As Chair of the ACCAS Committee, I’m proud of the work we’ve done and ensure that every person who enters the Capitol can do so without fear. www.startribune.com/minnesota-ca...

Again the world is waking up to horrific news of a killing at the hands of Donald Trump’s untrained federal agents. Enough was enough before a federal agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. 50,000+ Minnesotans marched yesterday to demand this violence ends immediately.

Minnesotans are meeting the moment. In the spirit of Dr. King, we remain committed to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred and building a society with equal opportunity for all. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Dr. King’s words and actions were driven by love, faith, and a deep commitment to justice. He challenged us stand up for our neighbors who are suffering, and to fight for love over hate. I see Minnesotans living those words every day.

36-year-old Victor Manuel Diaz died while in ICE custody today. We need a complete and transparent investigation into what happened to him at Camp East Montana. We deserve answers. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
