For six weeks, Democrats have used the American people as leverage in the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Today, I voted to put an end to the partisan games, return to common sense legislating, and get back to work serving the American people.

Not only today, but every day we thank our Veterans for their selfless service to our country. From the front lines to our front doors, we know that freedom isn’t free. Thank you to all Veterans!

https://t.co/rTDB98LLAP Once again, your hard-earned tax dollars meant to help our neighbors in need have been lost to fraud under the Walz–Flanagan administration. It’s time for a full accounting of every federal dollar Minnesota receives and to put an end to mismanagement and

Too often, outdated restrictions limit Medicaid coverage for mental health treatment. I am excited to introduce the Restoring Inpatient Mental Health Access Act of 2025, which will expand access to inpatient care, helping those in crisis receive the treatment they need while

This was entirely avoidable, and now travelers are paying the price of Democrat's dogmatic games. The FAA is being forced to cut flight schedules at 40 major airports because air traffic controllers are overworked and unpaid. While traveling, stay informed and plan ahead.
Airlines are making schedule changes to comply with the FAA-mandate to reduce flights. Passengers should prepare for flight disruptions at MSP and other airports. Please check with your airline for the latest flight information.

Critical minerals are key to keeping America strong and independent. Glad to see @USGS recognize phosphate and potash as critical minerals. These minerals are essential for both our farmers and our national security.
🚨 Today, @Interior and @USGS released the final 2025 List of Critical Minerals, identifying 60 minerals essential to our economy, national security and way of life. 🧵

From the fields of southern Minnesota to families across America, homegrown biofuels keep our economy running and energy affordable. Proud to work with President Trump and Administrator Zeldin to strengthen U.S. energy independence.
Today, I led a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin in support of the EPA’s proposed Renewable Volume Obligations. President Trump has done great work to lower prices at the pump. We can continue that success with homegrown Iowa biofuels from the American heartland.

This shutdown has gone on too long. Minnesotans deserve better than political games. Let’s reopen the government and get back to delivering real results for the American people.
Democrats have now caused the longest shutdown in U.S. history. It’s hurting Minnesotans, and it must end. @RepFinstad and I have a message for the Democrats: reopen the government, and let’s get back to work.

I joined @HouseAgGOP Chairman Thompson, @HouseAppropsGOP Chairman Cole, and @RepAndyHarrisMD in calling out the Democrats for denying SNAP to vulnerable Americans. Republicans voted to fully fund nutrition benefits and keep the entire federal government open. Had Senate Democrats

Few figures have left as indelible a mark on American governance as Vice President Dick Cheney. His leadership shaped an era of history that continues to define U.S. power and principle. A steadfast statesman whose convictions guided the nation through times of great challenge.

Minnesota sets the gold standard for farm business management - helping farmers plan for the future, strengthen their finances, and pass operations to the next generation.

Crop insurance is farmers’ number one risk management tool, giving producers the confidence to invest, grow, and keep America’s food supply secure through unpredictable seasons. It was a pleasure meeting with Minnesota crop insurance professionals this week to discuss our shared

Yesterday, I joined Chairman Thompson to discuss Democrats putting SNAP at risk for the working families who need to put food on their tables. This shutdown could end today if Democrats choose common sense over politics and put the American people first.

President Trump gets it done. Thanks to his leadership, China is returning to the table and committing to major U.S. soybean purchases. Just another example of this administration’s commitment to boosting our farmers, strengthening our economy, and putting America first again.

China cut off purchases earlier this year, depriving U.S. farmers of their largest export market.
