I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families. Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

We are eternally grateful to the nearly 300,000 Minnesota veterans who stood up to defend our freedoms here at home. The State of Minnesota will continue to thank those that raised their hand by continuing to provide the care, services, and community they need to thrive.

Today marks 50 years since the Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew of 29 sank during a violent storm on Lake Superior. In Minnesota, we continue to honor their legacy. www.startribune.com/ss-edmund-fi...

Making Minnesota the best state to raise a family means focusing on affordability and addressing barriers to owning a home. We’ve made the largest investment in housing in state history and today, we rank as the top state for young homebuyers.

We will not let Minnesotans go hungry.

Kicked off the deer hunting season in Cannon Falls this morning. Good luck to everyone sharing in this time-honored Minnesota tradition!

The lengths Trump will go to keep Americans hungry knows no bounds. apnews.com/article/snap...

Donald Trump is AGAIN suing to avoid sending food to hungry children and seniors.

High-tech manufacturing keeps Minnesota on the cutting edge while creating the jobs that make us a top place to live and work. Great to check out the floor at Rolls-Royce Solutions and hear about their continued investment in Mankato.

Whether you’re heading out for your first hunt or continuing a generations-old tradition, the deer hunting opener is a special time in Minnesota. Great talking about the economic impact and Minnesota’s reputation as a deer hunting destination with hunters and conservationists.

A big thank you to our poll workers and election judges for your commitment to democracy. Minnesota’s elections are safe, free, and fair because of you.

In Minnesota, we’re proud to have some of the highest voter turnout in the nation - and we want to keep it that way. Make a plan, and bring a friend! MNVotes.org

Maintaining our ranking as a top state for safety starts with investing in law enforcement. We just broke ground on a new facility and crime lab in Mankato to strengthen investigative, laboratory, and training services for law enforcement agencies throughout southern Minnesota.

Americans are inclined to help their neighbors. The Trump Administration is inclined to let Americans go hungry.

Hello November.

Proud of these trick-or-treaters for braving the rain on a very Minnesota Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Georgie!

Just this year, Minnesota has ranked: A top 10 state for safety. A top 5 state to live in. A top 3 state for jobs. A top 3 state to retire. The 2nd best state to raise a family. The 2nd best state for children. A bet against Minnesota is a bad bet.

Following three years of significant investments in addiction services, opioid overdoses have declined by 32% in the last year. We’re saving lives and showing what’s possible when we meet this crisis with compassion and action.

Minnesota ranks among the top 10 safest states in the nation. That’s thanks to the brave first responders who answer the call every day to help their neighbors, and the efforts we’ve made to improve safety in every neighborhood across the state.

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity. It’s not about the money, Trump just wants Americans to go hungry.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies. Trump just won’t release it. 440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

If Washington won’t lead, Minnesota will. Trump is holding our tax dollars hostage and cutting off the funding that keeps 440,000 Minnesotans from hunger. I just announced $4 million in new funding for Minnesota’s food shelves to help our neighbors weather the storm.

A married couple earning $85,000 per year will pay $15,000 more next year for health care if Republicans in Washington won’t act. Minnesotans can’t afford this.

Minnesota is home to innovative companies like Donaldson, where they’re solving the world's most complex filtration and contamination challenges - and creating great jobs! I’m proud that we rank as a top state for business.

Minnesotans can’t afford this. It’s time for Republicans to reopen the government and fix health care. www.startribune.com/family-healt...

Boston Scientific has been a driving force behind Minnesota’s leadership in medical technology, spurring innovation and employing more than 10,000 Minnesotans.   Today, we cut the ribbon on their new campus that will add hundreds of jobs and keep that innovation in Maple Grove.

Gwen and I are wishing all those who celebrate a happy Diwali! We hope it’s filled with light, joy, and prosperity.

Great news. Minnesota is with you, Lydia! www.startribune.com/annunciation...

For decades, Minnesota has been known as the home of world-class health care and biotech. That’s no accident. We’re fostering an environment where companies like BioLabs want to invest, collaborate, innovate, and create the cures of the future right here in Rochester.

When given a level playing field, our farmers produce the most abundant food supply in the world. They shouldn’t be locked out of markets and thrust into chaos because the President decided to tweet.

Investments in early learning and affordable child care. Largest investment in public schools in state history. Free school meals. Nation-leading Child Tax Credit. Paid leave. Our mission from day one has been clear. Today we rank as a top state for children.

Sugarbeet harvest season is in full swing across Minnesota. Every acre of crop harvested this year is supporting good jobs, local economies, and more affordable groceries. We need to stand up for the farmers who feed, fuel, and grow our country. www.agweek.com/news/sugarbe...

Purfeerst Farms is a fifth-generation, family-owned farm in Fairbault. Tariffs are putting Minnesota farms at risk, with soybeans piling up as our trading partners look elsewhere. They don’t want a bailout from the guy who caused the crisis. They want strong markets.

Insurance rates up $2000. Food benefits cut off. Farmers unable to sell their crops. Skyrocketing national debt. $40 billion to Argentina. America First!

Trump’s police force is terrorizing school pick-up lines and throwing tear gas at local police. He is not making the country safer. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Highlight of my day: the amazing third graders at Annunciation stopped by my office while visiting the Capitol today.

Happy birthday to a wonderful son!

After two long years, the hostages are reunited with their loved ones and the path to a lasting peace is within sight. Israelis and Palestinians have suffered immeasurable loss. I’m hopeful for a surge in humanitarian aid into Gaza as the long road to recovery begins.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.   It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

Heck of a day to kick off pheasant hunting season in Ortonville! Grateful for this community’s hospitality, top notch guides, and bagging a couple birds.

Bird down.

Good morning and happy pheasant opener! Go get ‘em, Minnesota.

License secured ✅ Happy pheasant opener eve, Minnesota. Let’s bag some birds.

Our farmers want trade, not aid. This is a band-aid solution to a problem Trump caused single handedly. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/u...

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

This is hateful and it has no place in Minnesota. www.startribune.com/temple-israe...
