Minnesota, USA
Joined November 2018
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.

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.
RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel voted to end the universal hepatitis B birth dose recommendation — fulfilling a longtime priority of the anti-vax movement. https://t.co/RZZKy339Fn

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. https://t.co/Y3vd0tLRmG

The move comes as President Trump has attacked Somalis with increasingly inflammatory rhetoric in recent days.

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. https://t.co/TNdJ9ROLP6

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.

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.

Our first storm of the winter season is already starting to hit northern Minnesota, and it’s causing some schools to close early on Tuesday.

Few Americans have served our nation with the dignity, courage, and patriotism of Captain Mark Kelly. Unlike President Trump, his loyalties lie to the people and to the Constitution.
When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space

It’s not surprising that the President has chosen to broadly target an entire community. This is what he does to change the subject. https://t.co/pv8OJWUxR1

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! https://t.co/MPHTtJrEqe

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. https://t.co/pWnpUPEZVy

Last week, the Trump administration said only 30% of the national Continuum of Care program’s $3.9 billion can be used for permanent housing, down from approximately 90% this year.

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.

Seems to be a pattern.
Oh boy. I hate to talk politics when there’s good news to celebrate but this is too brazen to ignore. Mr. Stauber voted against every screw, steel beam, and concrete pier in this bridge. Luckily @POTUS worked with Stauber’s colleagues and got it done without him. Thanks, Joe!

This funding is from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which you voted against. Luckily for Minnesotans your colleagues got it done without you.
I am pleased to announce that I've successfully secured $20 million in federal funding for a new air traffic control tower at Duluth International Airport with the help of @SecDuffy. This investment connects the Northland to the world, supports our economy, boosts safety, and
