Happy Veterans Day to all the Minnesotans who have served our country. These brave men and women put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms. I’ll always fight to make sure they have the care and resources they need upon returning home.

This so-called deal coming out of the Senate is nothing but a bunch of empty promises. Hear me loud and clear: it’s time to walk the walk. I will not be bullied into backing down.

Trump's USDA continues to choose cruelty.

I’m a no.

They’d better lawyer up.

I'm sure it's exhausting.

Yesterday, I met with folks at the Washington County Service Center in Cottage Grove who process SNAP benefits. Minnesotans are not political pawns, and I won’t stop fighting against this Administration’s attacks on food assistance for parents, seniors, veterans and folks with disabilities.

This is exactly why we’re fighting. So all Minnesotans, no matter their income level or zip code, can access quality, affordable care. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Probably because they’re illegal.

This Admin continues to illegally slow walk funding SNAP in November. I’m fighting so Minnesotans can put food on the table this month.

As the GOP continues to attack the ACA, I’m thankful for Speaker Pelosi, who led the charge to make health care accessible for all Americans.

Rep. Emmer has stood by President Trump axing $70M worth of energy projects in his district. That’s jobs for Minnesotans, growth for MN-06’s local economy and progress towards ending the affordability crisis in our country. And as always... when Trump starts to whine, Emmer falls in line.

In the 36 days since Republicans shut down the government: they’ve illegally denied food assistance to kids, targeted federal workers and stood idly by while health care costs skyrocket. You know what they haven’t done? Show up to work. It’s time they get back to work and end this shutdown.

In Minnesota, soybean farmers are crumbling under the President’s trade war.   Rather than putting American family farmers first – President Trump is giving handouts to Argentina – one of our top soybean competitors.   What the hell happened to America first? www.foxnews.com/opinion/when...

It’s official – Speaker Johnson and Republicans are now responsible for the longest government shutdown in American history. They control the House, the White House and the Senate. If they wanted to open the government, they would.

President Trump thinks terrorizing communities, deporting legal U.S. citizens and ambushing mothers in the school drop-off line “isn’t enough.” America is a nation of immigrants – it's what makes our country great.  We can’t let this Admin take that away.

Small business owners across Minnesota rely on the ACA tax credits for health care. By letting the ACA credits expire, Republicans are putting the squeeze on our local businesses because their health care costs will go up.

Trump’s Admin has cancelled $60M worth of investments into MN-08. And thanks to the Republican health care crisis, premiums in MN-08 have increased by 219%. Where is Rep. Stauber? Minnesotans are losing jobs, health care and investments in their local economies and he’s yet to speak out.

Congratulations to Chief Roger New on your retirement after 31 years serving the Eagan community – wishing you all the best in this next chapter.

If their mouths are moving these days, they’re lying.

Open Enrollment for @MNSure starts today and will remain open until January 15. Republicans are still refusing to come to the table to lower your health care costs – and folks across Minnesota are seeing their premiums increase.

Thanks to Trump's economy, even candy prices are skyrocketing. Seems like this Halloween, Americans will be getting a lot more tricks than treats.

Billionaire Bessent doesn’t even mow his own lawn – let alone farm his own soybeans.

Thanks to the Trump Admin’s illegal refusal to fund SNAP in November: 16 million children will go hungry, 8 million seniors won’t have food on the table, And 1.2 million veterans won’t be able to afford groceries. This is illegal, egregious and wrong. It’s time to fund SNAP. Now.

Cheryl and I are mourning the loss of Farmington Police Officer Pete Zajac. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the entire Farmington community. If you or someone you know is struggling, please call 9-8-8. www.facebook.com/share/p/1W3d...

By withholding the SNAP Emergency fund, the Trump Admin is making 16 million children, 8 million seniors and 1.2 million veterans go hungry this month. It doesn’t have to be this way. We won’t let up in this fight.

President Trump has chosen to take food away from nearly 42 million Americans. These funds have been appropriated by Congress, and the President’s decision to withhold the money is unconscionable, egregious and illegal. I am calling on the President to do the right thing and follow the law.

The Trump Admin has the money, resources and legal responsibility to fund SNAP in November, yet they refuse to do so. Roughly 40% of SNAP recipients are children. It’s time for Sec. Rollins to stop playing politics and tap into the $5 billion contingency SNAP fund to feed our kids.

Last week, I said we need to sue their asses. I was serious. If the Trump Admin wants to take food away from Minnesotans — they better lawyer up.

Small business owners make up 16% of the workforce but represent nearly half of the folks that rely on ACA premium tax credits for health care coverage. Thanks to Republican efforts to rip these tax credits away, hardworking Americans will see increased premiums as soon as November 1.

A message to America's farmers, brought to you by Treasury Secretary Bessent (whose net worth is literally measured in the hundreds of millions): I'm a soybean farmer too, so I feel your pain.

Thanks to President Trump, even Halloween is about to be more expensive for Minnesotans. He really is tariff-ying.

I wish I could say I’m working with Republicans to end this shutdown. I can’t, because none of them are even here. It’s time they come back to Washington and do their jobs. Enough is enough.

This is either corrupt or stupid, and it’s probably both.

Sec. Noem is refusing to respond to my concerns about the Admin’s plan to open an ICE facility in Appleton.  Today, she showed up in Mpls to cause more chaos, vilify immigrant communities and spread harmful rhetoric.   In MN, we take care of one another. This Admin’s cruelty has no place here.

Importing more beef from Argentina will do nothing but hurt Minnesota ranchers. Period. It’s time President Trump stops this Argentina-first nonsense and starts prioritizing family farmers and Minnesota cattlemen.

SNAP benefits run out in 8 days if Republicans fail to end this shutdown. If Republicans don’t come back to the table and end this shutdown, 10,500 households in Dakota County will lose access to food assistance. It’s time for Republicans to stop playing games.

Members of Congress can’t even put a damn nail in the wall without approval from the Architect of the Capitol — but as we speak, the President is taking a wrecking ball to the People’s House. I can’t think of a better metaphor for the destruction that is being caused by this Administration.

The Trump Admin fired nearly everyone in the Dept. Of Ed’s Office of Special Education. This is a tragedy for the 7.5M kids with disabilities in the U.S., their families and special educators who dedicate their lives to our students’ success. I’m demanding they reverse these firings immediately.

The Trump Admin cancelled $19M in fed funding for energy projects in MN-07. Where is Michelle Fischbach’s outrage? This move rips jobs away from Minnesotans, threatens our energy independence and increases energy costs. It’s long past time my MN Republican colleagues have the guts to speak up.

Because of Republicans’ attacks on health care: a 60-year-old Minnesota couple will face a $15,500 premium increase. Republicans campaigned on the promise of lowering costs and making life easier.

Thanks to President Trump and Republicans’ failure to extend the ACA tax credits, folks who rely on the ACA marketplace for health insurance could see their health care costs increase by up to 114% in 2026. These rate increases will hit farmers, ranchers and rural Minnesota budgets hard.

I’ll be hosting a telephone town hall from DC TONIGHT at 5 PM CT to answer your questions about the shutdown, President Trump’s harmful policies, and how I’m working to lower costs. You can register for the telephone town hall here: craig.house.gov/live

Head Start sets our kids up for success – and they shouldn’t be left behind because Republicans can’t pass a funding bill. I’m proud to support legislation to ensure the federal government reimburses states, local governments and schools forced to use their funds for Head Start during a shutdown.

Another week of this government shutdown has passed. Another week I’ll be in Washington, meeting with folks and fighting for working families and family farmers. Another week Republicans will be AWOL and not in session.

Last year, I helped Farmington PD secure $869,000 in federal funding for a new security fence. Yesterday, I attended the ribbon cutting ceremony alongside Mayor Josh Hoyt and Police Chief Nate Siem.

Here’s my message to Donald Trump: Get your ass back to the table to end this government shutdown.

Today I joined Farmers for Free Trade and heard from Minnesota farmers about how Trump’s trade war is destroying markets. While the Trump Admin bails out Argentina, I’m working with MN farmers to find new export and domestic markets.

Despite what lies this Admin is trying to peddle, the law is clear: all federal workers are entitled to backpay after a government shutdown ends. I will not accept this Administration’s attempts to threaten federal workers for their own political gain.

Speaker Johnson said it best.   It’s time for Republicans to get back to Washington, do their jobs and end this shutdown.
