In Minnesota, we protect the lives and liberties of all our neighbors - including your right to love who you love. Happy Pride Month!

Proud to sign another bill boosting pensions for those that dedicate their careers to serving Minnesotans. Pensions are about keeping promises - promises to the teachers, first responders, 911 operators, and public employees that the state has their back.

Yesterday I signed a bill to return 3,400 acres of land to the Fon du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa - a joint effort between the Tribe, the state, and the University of Minnesota.

Minnesotans took home more medals than any other state at this year’s Winter Olympics. I was honored to host some of Minnesota’s Olympians and Paralympians to thank them for making our state so proud in Milan.

Eid Mubarak to all Minnesotans celebrating today. Wishing everyone a blessed, peaceful, and safe holiday.

In Minnesota, we’re not letting powerful companies use kids as a testing ground to make algorithms more addictive. minnesotareformer.com/briefs/walz-...

Thank you to the Minneapolis Veterans Home for hosting me yesterday to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for this great nation.

Six years ago today, George Floyd’s murder started a global movement for change. Let us continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals of liberty and justice for all.

On Memorial Day, Minnesotans come together to remember the heroes who gave their lives for the freedoms and values that define our great nation. Let us never forget those brave service members and their families.

Trump’s cuts to health care are putting hospitals like HCMC at risk. We’ve been hard at work in Minnesota to keep critical access hospitals open, but the federal government needs to uphold their part of the deal.

You don’t have to look far to see the rule of law being undermined and democracy being challenged in America. As Minnesota continues to not just defend the rule of law, but advance it, I was honored to appoint a new Chief Justice and Associate Justice to the Supreme Court.

Good news. Grateful to all the first responders who worked around the clock to get this fire contained. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Let’s go! www.si.com/nfl/vikings/...

Minnesotans will continue to demand accountability and justice.

Good to see a little rain up in Two Harbors today as crews continue their work to contain the wildfires. Grateful for the coordination between the DNR, the Minnesota Interagency Fire Center, and other state and local agencies supporting suppression and displaced residents.

I’m headed up to Two Harbors to meet with the emergency responders and local officials working around the clock to contain the wildfires. The state will provide every resource we can to help communities recover and rebuild.

As wildfires continue up north, I’ve declared a peacetime emergency and mobilized the National Guard to ensure Minnesotans have the resources needed to protect lives and support evacuation. Grateful to the Guard and all our first responders answering the call.

As crews continue working to contain fires in the Northland, keep an eye out for evacuation orders and follow local guidance. www.wdio.com/front-page/t...

We have a number of agencies responding to help communities with the ongoing wildfires up north, including the DNR, MnDOT, and DPS. Grateful to all those stepping into harm’s way to keep their neighbors safe.

Trump’s cuts to health care are here - and they’re impacting hospitals across the state. We struck a deal to help stabilize health care at HCMC and other critical hospitals, but the threat to Minnesotans health care remains thanks to the “big beautiful bill.” www.startribune.com/205m-for-hcm...

Minnesotans deserve to know where their representatives stand on protecting our children. It’s long past time for House Republicans to hold a vote on gun violence prevention.

From his tireless work to keep Minnesotans safe during the pandemic to leading the world on transforming how we deliver healthcare, I’m grateful for Dr. Farrugia’s role in keeping Minnesota at the forefront of medical innovation. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Even with the most narrowly divided legislature in the country, we just reached a bipartisan budget deal that: ✅ Protects health care and critical access to hospitals ✅ Strengthens our infrastructure ✅ Keeps our state in a strong financial position for years to come

Happy Statehood Day, Minnesota! Proud to celebrate our state’s 168th birthday and all that Minnesotans have contributed to our great nation.

All the victims are asking for is a vote on gun violence prevention. If Republicans are against it, they can vote no. But Minnesotans deserve to know where their representatives stand. www.startribune.com/parents-of-s...

Fishing opener. Wolves win. Wild win. Good weekend in Minnesota.

Minnesota moms make it happen. Happy Mother’s Day!

Hard to beat a sunny morning on the St. Croix – two walleye and a bass! Happy Fishing Opener, Minnesota.

Grateful to the good folks of Stillwater for hosting a fabulous fishing opener. Wishing Minnesotans tight lines tomorrow 🎣

Over one million anglers will drop a line in Minnesota lakes and rivers this season, bringing folks together for a time-honored Minnesota tradition and generating nearly $4.4 billion for local economies.

Go get em’ Minnesota.

Our first-in-the-nation Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office is just one step in the ongoing work to build a future where all our communities are safe.

Regardless of the madness coming from Washington, Minnesota will continue to be guided by science and medical expertise.

It’s time for the House to act on guns. That’s what the majority of Minnesotans want. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I just chaired an emergency meeting of the Board of Pardons to grant a unanimous pardon to At “Ricky” Chandee - a Minnesota father and longtime public servant facing deportation for a single conviction from over 30 years ago. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Wolves and Wild moving on! Good day in Minnesota.

The State of Hockey!

Not to sound like your parents - but there’s never been a better time to start a family than right now in Minnesota.

While the Trump Administration sees voting as a threat, Minnesota knows voting is a source of empowerment and pride. We will continue to lead the fight to protect every American’s right to an equal voice in elections. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Over the last several months, we've been reminded what has always been true about Minnesotans - we are strong, we are resilient, we are generous, we are compassionate, and we are in this together.

No words. www.espn.com/olympics/tra...

Political violence has become all too prevalent in America. I’m grateful for the swift response from law enforcement at White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 In Minnesota, we’re tackling climate change by putting our state on a path to 100% clean energy by 2040 - all while supporting sustainable agriculture and the green energy jobs of the future right here at home.

Living in a nursing home shouldn’t mean giving up everyday freedoms. I just signed a bill allowing seniors living in nursing homes to consume alcohol - so that everyone can enjoy happy hour!
