163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Happy Kwanzaa, Minnesota! Gwen and I are wishing all who celebrate a wonderful week of warmth, health, and unity.

Vikings win. Merry Christmas indeed.

Merry Christmas, Minnesota. Hoping everyone finds some peace in quality time with family and friends 🎄

I was proud to stand alongside faith leaders, mayors, public safety officials, and community advocates today to condemn the chaos ICE is creating in our communities, and reaffirm our commitment to public safety.

Getting ready for Christmas.

A great day to cut the ribbon on the New Ulm National Guard Readiness Center. I served out of the old site as a guardsmen myself - I know this upgrade was much needed. The men and women of the 1-125 FA will be better equipped to answer any call that comes their way.

Congress needs to get back to Washington before Americans’ health care costs start to skyrocket.

With ICE on our streets, many of our Latino small businesses are seeing noticeably less foot traffic this holiday season. If you can, show up for our neighbors by shopping local at places like Mercado Central - home to dozens of vibrant mom and pop shops.

Today’s charges are exactly the type of strong action we need from prosecutors to put fraudsters behind bars. That’s why we shut down Housing Stabilization Services and hired an outside firm to audit these programs and stop payments to fraudulent providers.

Great piece about my dear friend Melissa Hortman. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Thank you to the St. Paul Jewish Community Center for inviting me to light the menorah on the fourth night of Hanukkah. As our Jewish neighbors across the world mourn the lives lost in Australia, the light of the menorah gives hope for things to come.

This is outrageous. I expect my Republican colleagues to attack me in an election year, but to actively cover up fraud in an attempt to further a political agenda is beyond the pale. This needs to be resolved immediately.

It’s clear the feds are intent on stoking fear and provoking Minnesotans. Trump wants a show. Don’t give it to him. Stay safe and remain peaceful if you’re interacting with ICE.

Multiple U.S. citizens have been arrested during ICE operations. The forcefulness, lack of communication, and unlawful practices displayed by federal agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota.

Federal agents are arresting American citizens. This isn’t about public safety - it’s about stoking fear. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Stay safe on the roads, Minnesota. This winter isn’t going anywhere.

I’m keeping Minnesota’s Muslim community in my heart after the fire at the Masjid Hazma Mosque and Baitul Hikma Academy. Grateful to all of the first responders who stepped up and relieved that no one was injured.

In Minnesota we’re cutting social security taxes, allowing Minnesotans to age in their homes, and investing in safe communities. That’s what makes us the second-best state to retire. Give us a few more days above 0° and we’ll knock Florida out of #1 😎 www.startribune.com/florida-rate...

Skol Vikings!

Just to be clear: Minnesota will continue to be guided by science and medical expertise. While Trump and RFK wage war on vaccines and decades of science, I took executive action to safeguard vaccine access in Minnesota and prioritize the health and safety of our children.

Donald Trump’s hateful words don’t stand in Minnesota.

Paid Leave is going to be a game changer for small business owners like Martha at Marty’s Deli.

We welcome support in investigating and prosecuting crime. But pulling a PR stunt and indiscriminately targeting immigrants is not a real solution to a problem. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

ICYMI: Minnesota just ranked as one of the safest states in the nation. Making Minnesota the best place to live starts with safety. That’s why I signed the largest public safety bill in state history, and why I’m glad to see that work paying off today. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Paul Bunyan is from Minnesota. Go Gophers! 〽️

Happy Hmong New Year, Minnesota! Wishing everyone good health, good fortune, and prosperity as we head into a new year.

A very happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours! We’re wishing all Minnesotans quality time with family and friends, rest and relaxation, and a good Minnesota-grown turkey on the table 🦃

I’m horrified by the news coming out of our nation’s capital today. Our guardsmen selflessly dedicate themselves to service. This violence cannot be normalized in our country. Minnesota is sending our love to the families of the service members who were killed.

Minnesota has the best birds in the world.

We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation. While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

Minnesotans - make a plan and drive safe during the first big storm of the season! www.fox9.com/news/mn-weat...

It’s not surprising that the President has chosen to broadly target an entire community. This is what he does to change the subject. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Minnesotans are good neighbors - we want to see our vibrant nonprofits thrive. Find a good cause for Give to the Max Day and let’s keep up our ranking as one of the most generous states! GiveMN.org

At least 4,900 Minnesotans are at risk of being pushed to the streets because of Trump’s cuts to housing - children, seniors, veterans. In Minnesota, we’ll do everything we can to stand up for our neighbors in need, but this decision will be devastating. www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/local/a...

Nearly a million K-12 students in Minnesota rely on funding from the Department of Education. Trump’s billionaire-led administration is slashing resources for students in rural communities, low-income families, and those who need special education. Minnesota will fight back.

Farming is a tough job, and Trump isn’t making it any easier by cutting off opportunity for the folks who feed, fuel, and clothe our world. Just listen to these family farmers: “You don’t think your president is going to be the one making things complicated for your business.”

Grateful to hear that the injured Cass County Deputy is expected to make a full recovery. Minnesota is with you. www.fox9.com/news/cass-co...

This incredible team is going to make paid family leave a reality for all Minnesota families starting January 1. Grateful for their work to make sure Minnesotans get the time off they deserve – whether it be for an illness, a new baby, or a family member in need.

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.
