Fighting fraud was a top priority this session. We took decisive action to strengthen oversight, modernize enforcement tools, and hold bad actors accountable. #mnleg

Each May, we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and voices of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. We continue to uplift the strength and impact of #AAPI immigrants, activists, leaders and community members and celebrate their resilience, creativity, and accomplishments.

Despite unprecedented crises fueled by political violence and cruel federal actions, Senate DFLers focused on bringing down the cost of living, stabilizing healthcare, and securing public services — delivering meaningful results.

Rolling out sine die!

Senate Passes a $1.2 billion infrastructure and jobs bill that invests in Minnesota’s water and sewer systems, roads and highways, public colleges and universities and much more! #mnleg

The Senate DFL is taking decisive action to strengthen oversight, improve transparency, modernize enforcement tools, and hold bad actors accountable. All of these elements of our anti-fraud strategy will ensure that taxpayer dollars will reach the people and communities they’re meant to serve. #dfl

The Senate have advanced a proposal to the ballot this November that would update Permanent School Fund and increase funding for schools statewide. If approved by voters this November, the change would help invest more in Minnesota students while protecting the fund for future generations.

Minnesota's children are watching. Every parent who has lost their child to gun violence is watching. We must have the courage to act now and prevent this horror from ever happening again. #gunviolenceprevention #annunciation #mnleg

Our e-bike bill just passed through the Senate! With so many more e-bikes and motorized bicycles on roads across Minnesota, accidents are increasing too. This bill encompasses a lot of new ideas to keep Minnesotans safe when they're exploring the state on their new ride 🚲 #ebike #minnesota

There's about 48 hours left to pass bills this session, and this is what Minnesota Republicans are doing

This anti-grooming bill gives protections to all Minnesota kids and teens against sexualization and sexual abuse. We are taking a huge step toward bringing an end to grooming in Minnesota, and we will continue to fight to protect the young people of our state. #mnleg #DFL

SIGNED INTO LAW: We are taking a major step forward in protecting public dollars & making sure resources reach the people and communities they’re meant to. An independent Inspector General will be a watchdog for your tax dollars, helping detect and prevent fraud against state govt.

Rent relief passes! Today, the Senate passed identical language as the House meaning the $40 million rent relief package is headed to the Governor desk for his signature. Thanks for helping get this done through your continued advocacy. $40M for rent relief passed!

BREAKING: We just passed our 2026 Housing Bill, which includes massive DFL policy wins like emergency rental assistance and funding to build new, affordable housing.

Did you know that eggs are one of the most in-demand items at food shelves? Our egg-cellent new bill allows retailers to donate more eggs to help Minnesotans in need.

GOOD NEWS: Our nation-leading anti-nudification legislation has been signed into law! Companies that make this technology available online will no longer be allowed to enable predators who abuse and victimize children and adults with the click of a button.

Minnesota Republicans are more concerned with stopping people from blowing whistles than ICE murdering people in the streets. We know that the brave Minnesotans who were out in the streets are the reason we have evidence instead of DHS propaganda.

BREAKING: Minnesota Senate Democrats pass ICE Accountability and Justice package. All Republicans voted no.

UPDATE: After a 40-minute-long strategic procedural delay, Minnesota Republicans continue to interrupt Sen. Maye Quade as she speaks about the federal occupation of our state and violence against our neighbors. #mnleg

Right now, our ICE Accountability and Justice Package is being debated on the Senate floor. “This legislation is about accountability, about safety, and about ensuring that what happened here never happens again.” - @senronlatz.bsky.social

TODAY: Our ICE Accountability and Justice Package is going to be debated on the Senate floor. It’s a comprehensive legislative package in response to the federal government’s unprecedented assault on the civil, human, and constitutional rights of Minnesotans during Operation Metro Surge.

Today we’re delivering the strongest anti-fraud legislation in a generation: the Office of Inspector General.

Today in Minnesota History: Happy #StatehoodDay! On May 11, 1858, #Minnesota became the thirty-second state.

Speaker Demuth needs to take our gun violence prevention bill out of her drawer and let the House vote.

Happy Fishing Opener, Minnesota! Check out the DNR’s LakeFinder tool to get more details on local lakes, access sites, maps and more! 🔗 www.dnr.state.mn.us/lakefind/ind...

🚨APPALLING: Minnesota Republicans are literally hiding legislation in a desk drawer to prevent it from coming up for a vote. One of Speaker Lisa Demuth's deputies just admitted that he was "instructed not to report" a bill banning assault weapons/high-capacity magazines the Senate already passed.

The veterans of the Secret War in Laos fought alongside American troops in one of our nation's most difficult conflicts, and have lived in our communities for decades. We are proud to establish a formal benefits framework that gives these veterans the recognition they earned. #AAPIHeritageMonth

Dairy? No, DAIRI, with an I! This new law, authored by Senator Rob Kupec, will provide much needed stability and support for Minnesota's dairy farmers. #dairyfarming #icecream

The Senate DFL Majority is responding to the real problems Minnesotans are facing. We are passing bills – often with bipartisan support in our chamber. But we’re not seeing the appropriate urgency on the issue of #affordability from the House GOP.

We don’t think it’s controversial anymore to say that the federal government is in the pocket of mega corporations and the 1%. Everything this administration has done serves their purpose of making billionaires richer by taking money from working people.

No matter where you live in our state, you should be able to afford the essentials. Groceries, housing, healthcare – these are not luxuries, these are basic needs. We're holding a press conference today to highlight legislation to bring down the cost of living for Minnesotans. #mn #costofliving

Gun violence prevention isn't just about the harm a person can do to others with a gun, it's also about preventing suicides. We must address this leading cause of death by firearm, especially in Greater Minnesota. @senronlatz.bsky.social

Our gun violence prevention package is a representation of the courage we have to address what people have lost. The families of Annunciation, and all Minnesotans impacted by gun violence, want to see prevention, intervention, and harm reduction. The package we just passed does it all.

Our comprehensive package to prevent gun violence will make a real difference and save lives. The time to act is now. “I don’t want to look [our children] in the eye and go, we tried, we just couldn’t do it.”

With the comprehensive gun violence prevention package that we passed in the Senate today, we are not choosing one single policy to fix everything. #minnesota #gunviolenceprevention

"I want to thank the Annunciation families for being here today... It is through their strength, faith, humanity, and love for their children that got us, that got each other through impossible pain and got this historic, powerful legislation to where it is today." - Sen. Mohamed

Minnesota Republicans in the Senate just introduced a change to our comprehensive gun violence prevention package that would remove all mention of guns. #minnesota #mnleg

Today: The Minnesota Senate will vote on a comprehensive gun violence prevention package that tackles the issue from all angles – banning the sale of semiautomatic military-style assault weapons, school safety aid, mental health funding, and more.

Each May, we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and voices of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. Let's continue to uplift the strength and impact of AAPI immigrants, activists, leaders and community members and celebrate their resilience, creativity, and accomplishments. #AAPI

In between votes on the floor, we asked Senator Scott Dibble what actions the Senate DFL is taking to help stabilize our health care system in the wake of the One Big Republican Budget bill that passed last year. #minnesota #hr1 #hcmc

Operation Metro Surge disrupted Minnesota’s economy, and we’re focused now on recovery. Our economic relief package will help businesses that lost 30% or more of their revenue to get back on their feet, keep their doors open, and workers employed. #operationmetrosurge #iceout

Instead of trying to help keep the lights on and machines beeping at Hennepin County Medical Center, MN Republicans are obsessing over diversity and sustainability efforts.

140,000 Minnesotans will lose their health coverage because of cuts to Medicaid. Today, Republicans opposed our amendment that would unwind the federal red tape if Congress changes the law so Minnesotans could get their health insurance back.

Today we passed a bill focused on protecting Minnesotans from harmful federal cuts. - Keeping HCMC open and stabilizing hospitals - Fighting food insecurity - Supporting counties to avoid property tax increases

"The families who are going to be kicked off of Medicaid next year will have to decide between a doctor's visit or rent, surgery or food on the table. It is despicable." - Sen. Maye Quade #minnesota #HR1

Trump and Republicans in D.C. passed legislation that will kick 140,000 Minnesotans off their healthcare and thousands off food support. Rural Minnesota is already in a healthcare and food security crisis, and it is only going to get worse because of this bill. #minnesota #HR1

DFL Senators are voting on one of the most consequential bills of the legislative session today. We are holding a press conference right now to address Trump's federal budget cuts and how we are trying to stabilize Minnesota's most critical systems.
