The Trump administration cut $18 million in funding for schools and food banks buy food from Minnesota farmers. This will hurt children, our communities, and our farmers. Trump and Elon Musk are literally taking food from children to fund tax breaks to billionaires.

Trump’s agenda of chaos, confusion, and cruelty is hurting Minnesotans. His mass firings, reckless tariffs, and attacks on Medicaid are costing jobs and driving up costs for families. Republicans need to decide: stand with Minnesotans or with Trump. #MNleg #TrumpChaos

Today's budget forecast tells us that our investments in the last 2 years will help Minnesota weather Trump's agenda of chaos and cruelty. The only thing that changed since November is that Trump is now President. He cost our state $160 million in his first 50 days in office.

Senate Republican leader Mark Johnson is back in Washington tonight to hear about Trump’s plans to gut Medicaid, public education, and services to farmers and vets. Think he might hand deliver this letter from his Republican colleagues while he’s there? https://t.co/P2BREnC47S

Yesterday Congressional Republicans passed a budget plan that will make it much harder for Minnesota to balance its budget. Their plan cuts health care, food assistance, and education to pay for trillions of dollars in tax cuts skewed heavily to the already wealthy. #mnleg

The Trump administration's funding freeze is forcing cuts to critical victim services in Minnesota. Survivors of domestic and sexual violence rely on shelters, hotlines, and legal aid. These survivors deserve support—action is needed now.

Trump’s proposed cuts to medical research will have devastating effects on our state and country. DFL Senators joined scientists and patients today at the U of M to discuss the devastating impacts of these misguided and shortsighted actions. https://t.co/quDLuDMKZI

The U could lose up to $150 million in funding, which would jeopardize many researchers’ work.

Republicans defend a president who is threatening critical support for special education, students with disabilities, and school meal programs. The math doesn't add up. We're asking them to stand with us and fight for every dollar our kids deserve.

President Trump’s plan to dismantle the US Dept. of Ed, makes up 10% of Minnesota’s school funding, around $1 billion. Republicans continue to dismiss concerns about federal chaos despite the clear harm it will cause to Minnesota students. #mnleg

We were promised that grocery prices would fall on day one. All we’ve seen from the President is cuts and freezes that will harm families in their every day life. After cheering on his inauguration, Republicans in MN have been trying to avoid the elephant in the Oval Office.
