Four years ago, I visited Dilworth to see for myself how the old fire station was putting safety for both our firefighters and the many communities they serve at risk.

In 2023 we got the money to make it happen, and yesterday we celebrated a brand new station.

The numbers are in after yesterday’s tax deadline.

Minnesota’s new Child Tax Credit delivered an average $2,400 back to working class families, benefiting nearly 400,000 kids.

Regardless of Washington chaos, we’re still making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

We just got new data: Our trade partners bought nearly $27 billion in food and other products last year.

That’s a massive contribution to Minnesotans who work in our agriculture, mining, and manufacturing industries, and it’s why we can’t risk trade wars with our closest allies.

Trump’s tariffs aren’t just crippling our trade relationships, they’re hurting real farmers on the ground in Minnesota.

I’ll keep standing up for the farmers who feed, fuel, and grow our country.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.

Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation.

"The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]."

This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities.
