Mike Lindell says he’s gearing up to run against Tim Walz in 2026 for Governor of Minnesota.

Post from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that reads: Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.

Circling back on this…

Noticed some slippage from "Trump will bring back $2 gas" to "Trump got gas under $3" (which it was in January where I live!)

The bill was referred to the committee I chair, I won’t be scheduling it for a hearing. We do important work in SenateHHS and listen to Minnesotans who come to us with urgent needs for better access to mental health care. Trivializing a serious issue to make a point is disrespectful & disheartening.

Trump and Republicans set this up as an unprecedented power grab so they can slash and burn government services on their terms.

I’m a firm NO — on cloture and final passage — on this ‘CR’

Tina is an organizer who fights from the heart.
 
She spent her time in the Senate lifting up the voices of people who need government on their side - who need childcare for their kids and reproductive freedom.
 
Tina, it's meant a lot to have a partner like you!

Well, shit.

US Senator Tina Smith is a fierce force in the United States Senate. I count on her discerning courage and steadfast partnership in our day-to-day fight for Minnesotans.

I am happy for Tina, Archie, and their family and I’m committed to our continued work together.

Wholesale egg prices soar to almost $7.50-a-dozen in the Midwest Prices are spiking in Minnesota grocery stores as rampant bird flu causes diminishing supply.

If you voted for Trump for cheaper groceries, including eggs, how can I say this? You were had. He knew he couldn’t do it; many knew he couldn’t do it. But just lied and now we are fighting full on authoritarian rule.

The policy starts Monday and applies to already awarded grants. The UofM received a $59.2 million grant in *December*. Republicans just defunded cancer research in MN and blew a huge hole in our state budget. This isn’t a potential future problem. It’s here, now, and devastating.

We could not be more proud! Ken will be leaving the DFL with an undefeated statewide victory record, and Minnesota is better for it. Take it from us—there is no one better to rally our party and lead us to victory in the fights ahead.

Congratulations Ken!!!
