This has nothing to do with fraud. The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

The desks of Harper Moyski and Fletcher Merkel - two students killed in the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School - sit empty in the Capitol this week as a reminder of the horror of gun violence. The majority of Minnesotans agree, it’s time to ban assault weapons.

Today I’m proposing a ban on assault rifles, high-capacity magazines, binary triggers, firearms without serial numbers, and more.

It’s time for our legislators to take a lesson in courage from eighth graders like Lydia and stand up to the gun lobby.

Minnesota Proud 😎

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half-staff in honor and remembrance of the Reverend Jesse Jackson. He spent his life pushing America to live up to its highest ideals and his fight for civil rights, dignity, and fairness will inspire generations to come.

ICYMI: Minnesota was just ranked the second-best state to raise a family. From paid leave and school meals, to strong public safety and tax cuts for the middle class, Minnesota is built around the simple idea that families come first. wallethub.com/edu/best-sta...

JACK HUGHES! USA wins gold for the first time since the Miracle on Ice! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Here’s some Minnesota trivia: Former Governor Wendell Anderson played for the U.S. hockey team and won a silver medal in Cortina in 1956.

From Minnesota natives, to former Gophers, and Wild players - Minnesota is well represented on the world stage. The State of Hockey is cheering on the USA as they go for gold tomorrow🥇 www.nbcolympics.com/news/usa-can...

Nothing more Minnesotan than jumping in a frozen lake for a good cause. I joined Team Tessa at the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics and celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all.

This is a win for Minnesota’s farmers, small business owners, and consumers. Working people have being paying too steep a price. www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/p...

Recovery will not happen overnight, but we will rebuild. We can all make an impact by continuing to shop local. We will help stabilize these businesses, protect jobs, and ensure Minnesota’s economy rebounds. www.startribune.com/please-come-...

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.

Today the Minnesota House gaveled into session for the first time since we lost Speaker Hortman, Mark, and Gilbert. In the spirit of Melissa, we commit to doing our work with humility, grace, and compassion.

Gwen and I are joining Americans in mourning the loss of our friend, Reverend Jesse Jackson. I could always pick up the phone for his wisdom and historic perspective.

Minnesota needs impartial investigations into the shootings of American citizens on our streets. Trump’s left hand cannot investigate his right hand. The families of the deceased deserve better. www.keyc.com/2026/02/16/f...

It’s a beautiful day in Minnesota. Spring is coming, people.

By each other’s side through it all. Happy Valentine’s Day, Gwen.

Metro Surge is ending, and that’s good news. But we have a long road to recovery. Our small businesses, workers, and children have felt the strain. Now it’s time to ensure this never happens again.

Minnesota’s economy runs on the strength of our small businesses. I’m proposing $10 million in direct relief to help businesses impacted by Operation Metro Surge stabilize, protect jobs, and get back on solid footing.

Minnesotans are decent, caring neighbors — and some of the toughest damn people you’ll ever find.

The long road to recovery starts now. The impact on our economy, our schools, and people’s lives won’t be reversed overnight. That work starts today. I’ll have more at 9:45.

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy. If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

Small business owners represent the American Dream. But the fear and uncertainty caused by Operation Metro Surge has been a crushing blow to business. We need an end to this campaign of retribution and we need to reopen Minnesota for business.

This is obviously not targeted enforcement. And we still don’t know how many children they’ve taken. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...

We’re one month into Minnesota’s nation-leading paid leave program, and families are already seeing the benefit. In Minnesota, we stand by the workers who drive our economy - whether you’re welcoming a new baby or taking care of a sick family member.

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

Best of luck to all of the Minnesotans competing on the world stage. You make Minnesota proud 🥇 www.startribune.com/meet-the-min...

Operation Metro Surge is hurting small business and doing long-term damage to Minnesota’s economy. It’s time for this campaign of retribution to end. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Trump’s campaign of retribution is hitting children the hardest. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/u...

Operation Metro Surge is not making Minnesota safer. Today's announcement is a step in the right direction, but we need a faster and larger drawdown of forces, state-led investigations into the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and an end to this campaign of retribution.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas. For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare. www.startribune.com/walz-demands...

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line. I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

This should have been the case long before they killed two Americans. Border patrol agents should never have been sent in masks and camo to wreak havoc and aimlessly run around a state 1,500 miles from the Southern border. apnews.com/article/immi...

Law enforcement cannot be lawless. Thousands of aggressive, untrained agents of the federal government continue to injure and terrorize Minnesotans. This must end. apnews.com/article/immi...

Trump’s campaign of retribution is costing our small businesses their livelihoods and doing long-term damage to Minnesota’s economy. www.startribune.com/minnesota-ic...

February is a time to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought, and continue to fight, against injustice to achieve equal rights. May we reflect on our nation’s past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

If you can, keep showing up for your community by shopping local and supporting the small businesses that anchor our main streets and enrich the cultural fabric of Minnesota.

Welcome home, Liam!

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Minnesota may be known for our lakes, Bob Dylan, and Prince - but our civic engagement runs deeper. If Donald Trump intended to make an example out of Minnesota, then I am damn proud of that example.

Actions speak louder than words. Tom Homan says he wants to do things differently, but we have yet to see meaningful change. The only way to ensure the safety of the people of Minnesota is for the federal government to draw down their forces and end this campaign of brutality.
