Big news: The coalition of Attorneys General fighting the dangerous Paramount / WB merger has won a temporary restraining order, meaning that the merger is blocked for the duration of our litigation. But we aren't stopping there. We're going to keep pushing to block this costly merger permanently.

Today, I filed a lawsuit to halt the sale of Loon vapes in Minnesota. State law bans e-cigarettes designed to appeal to kids. With flavors like Cotton Candy and Mountain Dude, Loon is in clear violation of that law. I will not let corporations like Loon prey on our children.

The deck is stacked against young people online. Unfortunately, the KIDS Act protects Big Tech instead of our children. I will keep working with my fellow AGs to stand up to social media companies that are trying to turn a profit by harming our children.

George Floyd, his family, and the people of Minnesota changed history. Together, we showed no one is above the law — and no one is beneath it.

Exciting news! Our bill, the MAP Act, passed in both the House and Senate and is headed to the Governor's desk to be signed into law. This will give my office more resources to fight fraud and protect vulnerable Minnesotans.

Aimee Bock has received the sentence she deserves. I thank federal prosecutors for their years of hard work to hold fraudster-in-chief Bock and the other fraudsters accountable and congratulate them on this outcome. Justice has been done.

Minnesota Valley threatened to shut off the power for a Minnesotan who requires life-sustaining medical equipment. This was as cruel as it was unlawful. We went to court after hours, and we won. I will not allow any business to put their profit before Minnesotans’ survival.

Nobody is above the law, including ICE agents. The State of Minnesota must hold people accountable for violating the law and for harming Minnesotans. I support the filing of these charges, and I am working closely with @hennepinatty.bsky.social Moriarty to ensure we reach a just outcome here.

Premium Home Services has been running an elaborate scheme to deceive, defraud, and ultimately harm Minnesotans. That cannot stand, and my team and I are going to hold this company and its owner accountable for the harm they have caused.

Once again, Trump tried to impose more illegal tariffs that drive up costs for farmers, small businesses, and folks across Minnesota. I sued him, and once again, the court struck his tariffs down. Trump should try following the law, instead of finding new ways to break it.

When Xcel accidentally drilled through their own cables at a nuclear power plant, they wanted Minnesotans to foot the bill. My office stepped in to protect consumers who were in no way at fault, and I’m gratified Xcel customers will see the relief they deserve.

The passage of the MAP Act in the Senate today puts us one massive step closer to getting my investigators and prosecutors the tools and resources they need to even more aggressively prosecute fraudsters.

Abortion is healthcare, period. I cannot let a highly politicized court from another part of the country impose restrictions on abortion care that are not supported by law or science on Minnesotans. I welcome the temporary stay the court issued and strongly urge it be extended.

Purdue and the Sackler family knew at all times how dangerous their product was, but kept fraudulently and deceptively marketing it to sell more and more opioids, addict more and more people, and make more and more money. They knew what they were doing, and they did it anyway.

We worked with DLI for 3.5 years in its legal action years in its legal action to recover these wages, keeping bad employers from stealing wages from their workers. Minnesotans deserve to take home every dollar they earn and we will always fight for them.

Operation Metro Surge caused workers to lose $420M in wages and businesses to lose $600M in Minneapolis and Saint Paul alone. We are fighting to protect Minnesota from ever having to endure another violent, painful, and destructive federal occupation again.

This last year has been one of immense challenges, for Minnesota generally and the dedicated staff of the AGO. This moment demands a lot from my team and I'm so proud of how they step up to defend Minnesotans. Working alongside such fine people is truly the honor of a lifetime.

I toured HCMC today. This public safety-net hospital serves everyone no matter ability to pay and is one of the highest-ranking in the US for trauma and other services. It serves all of Minnesota, not just Hennepin County. It’s a great public asset and we will make it stronger.

We defeated another one of Trump’s efforts to misconstrue federal law to force MN to abandon duly passed state laws and become a colder, less caring state. I will always fight to ensure every Minnesotan can live with dignity, safety, and respect.

Last month, Trump rolled back the 2024 MATS Rule, which means more toxic emissions will released into our air and water, harming Minnesotans. Minnesotans depend on—and love—fishing, but no one should have to worry about whether they’re being poisoned when enjoying their walleye.

Yesterday, the US DOJ filed a lawsuit against Minnesota for including trans athletes in our high school sports. Let me be clear: I will continue to stand up to the Trump administration and do everything in my power to stop them from bullying vulnerable children in Minnesota.

To our trans neighbors on this trans day of visibility: I see you, I cherish you, and I stand with you in the face of the attacks on your life and humanity. I will always fight for you to live your life with safety, dignity, and respect.
