Happy National 4-H Week to all the amazing young leaders in Minnesota 4-H and around the country! The Senate passed my bipartisan resolution with Senator Boozman celebrating this week and recognizing 4-H’s impact as it prepares 50,000+ Minnesota youth to lead in their communities.

I recognized Crystal and Justin Kasmiskie from Shakopee as this year’s Angels in Adoption Minnesota honorees. When a visa issue threatened to stop them from bringing their adopted twin sons home from Liberia, my office helped push their visas through.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Gold Star families have sacrificed so much on behalf of our nation.   I met with some of those families this week — whose loved ones died while serving in our armed forces — and heard their stories and about how TAPS provides support and hope.

I met with members of the Minnesota Transportation Alliance about the exciting projects strengthening transportation across our state. From highways to bridges to transit, these are the investments we need for the road ahead.

My bipartisan bill to strengthen the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act has passed the Senate Commerce Committee.   Since the original law passed thanks to the advocacy of Abbey Taylor’s family there have been ZERO drain entrapment deaths in compliant pools.

Spoke with leaders from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation about their work providing care to youth and adults fighting addiction in Minnesota and across the U.S. They show people — as former First Lady Betty Ford once said — that “there's not only help but there's hope for them.”

Honored to receive the 2026 Congressional Leadership Award from the Council of State Governments Justice Center. We’ve worked together to better address mental health crises and other reform issues.

Today we remember Harper Moyski and Fletcher Merkel, and hold their families, all those injured, and the entire Annunciation community in our hearts.   One year later, we honor everyone impacted by this tragedy by standing together, continuing to choose hope, and supporting one another.

The recent cyberattacks on Minnesota water systems highlight the urgent need to protect our critical infrastructure. That's why I introduced the Water Cyber Shield Act to help local water systems strengthen their cybersecurity and defend against threats.

Great spending time with our state office interns. Their energy and commitment to public service are a reminder that the future of our state is bright. I can't wait to see what they accomplish!

There’s no U.S. Olympic Curling Team without Minnesota!    Great to join Coach Phill, our Mixed Doubles Silver Medalists — MN’s own Korey Dropkin & Cory Thiesse — and their teammates. Can’t wait for the next big win! 🥌 🇺🇸

Good news for Minnesota’s farmers, brewers, small businesses, and customers!   The Senate passed my bipartisan provision to delay the hemp ban, giving Congress more time to find a long-term solution and not ban hemp in MN.   www.valleynewslive.com/2026/08/08/s...

Our democracy depends on free & fair elections. The President’s Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche should be able to definitively say that he would not deploy armed federal agents to polling places, but he didn't. I oppose his nomination.

The numbers speak for themselves – the President’s war with Iran has driven up diesel costs 63% for our farmers.

Big news for veterans health in Minnesota!   A new women’s clinic at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center is opening for the 10,000 women veterans they serve.   This new health center honors their service by helping make sure they can receive the care they need.

Met with young leaders representing Minnesota at American Legion Boys and Girls Nation — Carter Klein from Bloomington, Izu Ayika from Maple Grove, Greta Gronfeld from Johnson, and Mariam Al-Areedy from Sartell. Great to see high school students interested in public service – their future is bright!

Congressman John Lewis’ legacy reminds us that the pursuit of justice requires persistence. This week we remember him and mark six years since his passing. The torch he passed is in our hands and the work to protect Americans' freedoms continues, especially the right to vote.

BREAKING: I pressed the President’s Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche to commit to keeping federal agents out of polling places. Federal law is clear: the President does NOT have the authority to deploy armed federal officials to election sites.

If there's a birthday, you've got to have some cake! 🎂🇺🇸

The 250th birthday cake was unveiled with the Smithsonian & the Library of Congress. And Minnesota made its mark: I added our state bird the loon & a pair of hockey sticks with cake artist Grace Pak.

Stop 8 of my Northwest & Northern Minnesota tour: Koochiching County!    Rainy Lake Medical Center in International Falls, with a staff of over 200, plays a critical role in ensuring this region has access to 24/7 emergency care, primary care, and clinic services.

Stop 7 of my rural tour: Lake of the Woods County! At New Moon Coffeehouse in Baudette, I joined local leaders & volunteers ahead of their Walleye Fish Fry and July 4th celebrations — with so many visitors coming in to mark our nation’s 250th birthday & enjoy the outdoors! 🏕️🎇

Stop 6 on my rural tour: Roseau County! Met with the Mayor and leaders of Lil’ Chompers Childcare in Greenbush to discuss their new facility, which is being built with federal funding I helped secure. The new facility will provide 40 kids with care — including needed infant care.

Stop 5 of my rural tour: Kittson County! Enjoyed great coffee with local small business owners, entrepreneurs, & leaders at Bully Brew Coffee in Hallock. To help our businesses thrive, we need to lower costs and make it easier to grow and create jobs.

Senator Amy Klobuchar @klobuchar.senate.gov · 02/07/2026
Stop 4 of my rural tour: Warren! I met with local leaders about how Warren stepped up to address child care needs with the Little Sprouts Learning Center. When parents can’t find care, they can’t go to work, & local economies suffer. We must support local solutions like this.

Great way to kick off our country’s 250th birthday: a visit to one of Minnesota's many innovators – Arctic Cat — here in Pennington County!

Senator Amy Klobuchar @klobuchar.senate.gov · 02/07/2026
Stop 3 of my rural tour: Thief River Falls — home to Arctic Cat, where snowmobiles and ATVs are manufactured right here in northwest Minnesota. Last year they returned to independent ownership, they’re thriving, and they’re one of this region’s largest employers.

Now THIS is a Minnesota view! 🌳🌊 From kayaking on the scenic Red Lake River to their campground, Voyageur's View Camping, Tubing, & Kayaking is a beautiful spot here in Red Lake Falls. Places like this help showcase all that Northwest MN has to offer.

Stop 2 on my Northwest & Northern Minnesota tour: Red Lake Falls! I’m at Voyageur’s View Camping, Tubing, & Kayaking with second-generation owners and siblings, Stephanie & Jason. 🏕️ Voyageur’s View has been helping capture Minnesotans’ adventurous spirit since 1985.

I’m kicking off a Northwest & Northern Minnesota rural tour. First stop: Halstad — where I met with Red River Valley Electric Co-Op & local leaders at a new HQ. They're working on moving overhead powerlines underground & improving reliability with the help of federal funding.

I'm thinking of Connie Clery, who passed this week at 95. After losing her daughter Jeanne to campus violence in 1986, Connie turned grief into action, and her advocacy led to the Jeanne Clery Act which changed how colleges approach campus safety.

The bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act will help build more homes, cut red tape, lower housing costs, and expand homeownership. It's passed both the House and Senate and the President has the bill to sign. He should sign it now. No delays.

Nothing is more Minnesota than hockey (besides maybe tater tot hotdish).   So I’m helping add hockey sticks and our state bird — the loon — to the Smithsonian 250th birthday cake with cake artist Grace Pak.

Because of the Dobbs decision overturning women’s right to reproductive health, too many women now have stories similar to Amanda's. This cannot stand.

Senator Amy Klobuchar @klobuchar.senate.gov · 24/06/2026
Four years ago, Roe v. Wade was overturned — stripping away women's reproductive rights across the country, creating a patchwork of different laws, & unleashing chaos. We must codify into law women's fundamental right to make decision about their own bodies.

We recently lost my former staffer Asal Sayas after an incredibly brave battle with cancer.   I’m joining with @markey.senate.gov & @carson.house.gov — with the support of Asal's family — to introduce legislation named in her memory to tackle the growing rate of cancer in adults under 50.

It’s now been one year without my friend Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. Melissa was a true public servant who dedicated her life to serving Minnesotans with integrity and compassion. May we all be instruments of peace like Melissa.

Every year, it’s my honor to nominate some of Minnesota’s talented young people to attend our military service academies. I know that these students will make our state proud as they continue Minnesotans’ long tradition of answering the call to serve our nation! 🇺🇲
