Senator Amy Klobuchar

Rural businesses fulfill a crucial and often overlooked role in our economy. My bipartisan Rural Exports Act will give rural businesses the resources they need to reach new markets, boost exports, and continue to innovate and grow.

Grocery receipts don’t lie. Child care costs don’t lie. Trump's $2,000+ tariff tax will hurt families, and firing a respected statistician will not change any of that.

Thanks to Congressional Republicans’ cuts, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting - which brought us everything from emergency weather alerts to educational kids programming - will permanently close its doors. This is a massive loss for the American people.

Congrats to Mayor Jacob, Sarah and especially big sister Frida on the arrival of Estelle Bloom Frey!

18 years ago today, the I-35W bridge collapsed in Minneapolis. As I said then: a bridge shouldn't fall in the middle of America. We came together and rebuilt and remain committed to preventing another tragedy.

The administration's trade strategy is not logical; it's chaotic. Families, farmers, and small businesses are paying the price. 

Goods and services that Americans rely on will become more expensive. 

We took to the Senate floor to speak out against these taxes:

As AI continues to expand its role in our lives, it’s more important than ever to pass federal privacy reforms. Today, we held a hearing on safeguarding Americans' online data:

Today marks the 60th Anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid being signed into law. These programs have provided not just health care to millions of Americans, but peace of mind and financial security. That is why I’m fighting to repeal Congressional Republican’s health care cuts.

President Trump’s cuts to Medicaid are undermining all pediatric health care in this country. Regardless of where you get your health insurance, these devastating cuts will make access to care harder.

I am all for finding ways to make the Department of Agriculture work better for farmers, families, and rural America, but this reorganization proposal won’t accomplish that. Today we held a bipartisan hearing to get more answers from the Administration:

Emil Bove’s allegiance isn’t to the law and Constitution. It’s to Donald Trump.

He doesn’t deserve a lifetime appointment to the court. I voted no. But Republicans pushed him through.

Millions of kids rely on SNAP to automatically enroll them in a free school lunch program. Cuts to SNAP threaten to take away the nutrition kids need to learn and grow.

For many Americans, building a home for themselves and their families represents the essence of the American Dream. However, Trump's reckless tariffs on Canada could increase the cost of that dream by $14,000.

Reports of these firings at the Justice Department are deeply concerning. The Antitrust Division has long worked to enforce the law to fight monopoly power, but these attorneys may have been fired for doing just that.

The Administration must provide answers.

The Administration’s callous termination of Temporary Protected Status for Afghans leaves thousands at risk of being deported. This would be a terrible betrayal of so many who supported us during the war and I am fighting to get them the legal certainty they deserve.

The food shelf and shelter run by CHUM in Duluth is incredible and demand is rising for their services. Thanks to Board President Julie Jagim, Executive Director John Cole, and Distribution Director April LeDoux for what you do everyday to help your neighbors in need.

NEWS: A federal judge has blocked the Administration's effort to defund Planned Parenthood.

Apprenticeships are a crucial step for many Americans looking for long-term, quality employment. We need to keep working across the aisle to make these training opportunities available to more Americans.

Social Security is a promise: if you work hard and pay in, you can retire with dignity. These cuts are a betrayal of seniors who count on Social Security to cover everyday living expenses.

Good Morning Duluth!

Rural hospitals are a vital lifeline for people across Minnesota. I stopped by Grand Itasca Hospital in Grand Rapids to hear from hospital leadership and medical staff about their incredible work serving the area. We must protect and support rural health care providers.

I joined Mayor Prince and local officials in Bemidji to receive an update on the ongoing recovery efforts following the June 21 storm, which caused significant damage. It was incredible to see so many people coming together and working side by side to rebuild.

Thank you to the staff at Zappy's Cafe in Akeley-brimming with happy customers and great coffee.

Met Zander from Luverne, Noah from Blue Earth, Ellis from Maple Grove, & Seenaa from St. Paul representing MN at American Legion Boys & Girls Nation. They drafted bills, held mock sessions, & met officials in a week-long program in DC. The future is bright!

Great to be in St. Cloud this morning for the MN Building and Construction Trades Council's Annual Convention. We must support our building and construction trades because when unions are strong, our economy is strong. And when our economy is strong, America is strong.

Early morning fuel up at newly opened Kinder Coffee Lab in Sauk Rapids. Thank you Owen and Larkin for the energy boost.

Gallup Poll: Trump’s approval at 37%.
Disapproval at 58%.

Only 19% of independents like how he has handled the federal budget.

An extra 4 trillion in debt for a bunch of tax cuts for the wealthy?

Oops. They noticed.
