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.

On this day in 1858, Minnesota became the 32nd state to join the Union. Our state has an incredible history and a bright future ahead. Happy Statehood Day, Minnesota!

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!

Happy Mother’s Day everyone! Here’s to moms getting some love 💕 today. Miss my mom but here she is (aka grandma Rose) with Abigail, me and a butterfly 🦋 which was happy to leave the photo for a tree soon after it was taken!

Great to join an incredible group of women leaders including two former Latina leg leaders Melisa López Franzen and Patricia Torres Ray. And Minnesota’s strong & proud Latino community was all out last weekend at St. Paul’s Cinco de Mayo parade!

John and I stopped by Hmong Village in Saint Paul with Mayor Her and members of Minnesota’s Hmong community. This vibrant, economically thriving hub is home to so many small businesses that power our state.

It was an incredible morning in Eagan for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. John and I joined breast cancer survivors, families, and advocates who were there walking and racing to raise money for a cure. 🏃🏻‍♀️ ❤️

Beautiful evening to kick off the Fishing Opener in Stillwater!

Happy fishing opener, Minnesota! Truly one of our state’s great traditions — bringing families together and supporting local businesses across our state. Good luck to all those heading out on the water this weekend! 🎣

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!

In Willmar today: Joined local leaders including Sen. Lang at the new emergency hangar for helicopters, pilots & EMTs who save lives. I led the effort in Senate to get funding. New Life Link III facility at Willmar Airport | News | www.willmarradio.com/news/ribbon-...

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 four of my western Minnesota rural economy tour: Montevideo. An 🍦 at Art’s Dairy Freeze! Posted on the front: Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cows, which make milk, which makes ice cream. And ice cream = happiness.

Stop three of my western Minnesota rural tour: Canby. I toured the Canby Fire Station. I’ve worked together with leaders in the city and fire department to ensure our firefighters have the tools they need to keep us safe.

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.

Another exciting week for Minnesota sports with the Wild, Wolves, and the Frost back in the playoffs. Good luck on the ice tonight, Frost! ❄️

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the educators who go above and beyond for our kids. My mom was a teacher and I saw firsthand the dedication it takes. Let’s thank our teachers and make sure they have the support they need.

Minnesotans know how to make Minnesota’s government work better. I’ve seen it in all 87 counties. Now you can share your ideas with me at: www.amyklobuchar.com/submit-your-....

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.

Minnesotans are right to have high expectations. They meet deadlines, solve problems, and plan for their families every day—our government should too.

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/...

Wow! Wolves with an incredible win in San Antonio! The toughness and grit of Anthony Edwards and the entire team makes Minnesota proud. Let's go Wolves!

A well-deserved recognition for the Minnesota Star Tribune’s coverage of the tragic shooting at Annunciation. www.startribune.com/pulitzer-pri...

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.

As the former U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, Andy Luger exposed the fraud and indicted over 70 people. He and I worked together to make sure he had the prosecutors he needed to take these cases on, and I’m honored to have his support.

Minnesotans are right to have high expectations of our government.

Today I announced my plan to transform Minnesota’s government and make it more innovative, effective, and accountable. Fixing the government is the foundation for everything else. And there’s more to come. Together, we can get it done.

Incredible tribute to my former staff member Asal Sayas. Even in the face of a cancer diagnosis, she worked tirelessly for more federal research dollars & earlier diagnoses to combat this disease. She made a real difference & never stopped fighting for others. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

Belinda Jensen has been a trusted voice at KARE 11 for more than 30 years. Whether tracking storms or answering gardening questions, she connected with people in a special way. Thank you, Belinda — wishing you the best! www.kare11.com/article/news...

Just left a beautiful service in New Ulm filled with community members honoring Cpt. Bill Bianchi. A recipient of the Medal of Honor in WWII, Cpt. Bianchi was killed in action in 1945 at 29 years old. His remains were identified last August. His family kept his memory alive. May he rest in peace.

Rising prices driven by tariffs and a war in Iran are hitting farmers hard as planting season gets underway. We need to change course. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

A Louisiana federal court just blocked access to mifepristone by mail, limiting how patients can receive an FDA-approved medication. This decision creates new barriers to care. We must restore women’s access to health care.

Little Joy Coffee in Northfield created a raspberry Danish latte so good it’s gone global, keeping with Minnesota’s long tradition of innovation! Owner Cody Larson shared the recipe online and now it's in cafes around the world. www.cnn.com/travel/raspb...

Wishing Steve Karnowski the best in his next chapter as he steps away from an incredible career at the Associated Press. He has covered Minnesota for more than 30 years and provided steady, trusted coverage through it all.

Drivers in Minnesota are paying $4 a gallon today. That's up more than a dollar since the start of the war with Iran. That's costing Minnesotans every mile.

This week, I earned the endorsement of the IBEW. These are electricians and line workers who do the hard, skilled work that literally keeps us out of the dark!

When I woke up 🛌 today…was that only a Minnesota fan’s dream 😴? Did the Wild 🏒 Wolves 🏀 and Twins ⚾️ all win in one night? And are the Frost, Wild & Wolves all moving on in the playoffs? The ☀️ is shining and YES it is ACTUALLY happening.

What a night for Minnesota! Wolves and Wild win game 6 and are moving on.

Wild win game 6 and move to the next round. Now let’s go Wolves for another Minnesota win!

Could the President now do something about the tariff taxes hitting Americans from all the countries that don’t have kings? 👑 Headline: U.K. whiskey tariffs eased after Trump met with King Charles III
