The Trump Administration is manipulating the federal student loan process once again, but the goal is still the same. Republicans are intent on limiting access to education and bankrupting students that dare to bet on themselves. #studentloans #mnleg

After Trump's Medicaid cuts, our rural hospitals are in dire need of support. Yet Republican leaders came to the negotiating table with $0 for rural hospitals because they refuse to stand up to Trump even when he's harming Minnesotans and your access to affordable healthcare. #Minnesota #healthcare

MN DFLers have been fighting for a better system for years, but we need #Republican partners to admit the current system is not working and join us in seeking better options. How many cost hikes and care cuts will it take for Republicans to stand up for #Minnesotans, not the insurance industry? #DFL

Minnesotans are in crisis, being squeezed by rising costs from every direction. Today's health insurance rate increases are another way that the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress are pushing families into crisis. #healthinsurance #minnesota #rateincreases #mnleg

On a blue background, a heading reads, "This is unsustainable. Today's health insurance rate increases are an ever-increasing spiral of rising costs hitting households in every aspect of their life. The increases will absolutely lead to more Minnesotans making the difficult choice to drop what they cannot afford and attempt to live without health insurance. Majority Leader Erin Murphy." In the bottom right corner of the graphic is a woman in a leather jacket with short brown hair standing in front of a microphone.

On a blue background, a heading reads, "The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress chose this for Americans. They are actively creating a system where fewer Americans have insurance, and those who have it get less coverage for higher costs. They voted for it, and Minnesota Republicans like House Speaker Lisa Demuth and Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson praise it." At the bottom of the graphic is an image of a woman with medium-length brown hair smiling at the camera, and a man in a grey suit speaking in to a microphone.

On a blue background, a heading reads, "Today, we learned 300,000 seniors Minnesotans are losing their Medicare Advantage plans due to costs. Next year, another 140,000 of us will lose Medicaid, and will be thrown into a private market that is increasingly unaffordable. Majority Leader Erin Murphy."

On a blue background, a heading reads, "A few weeks ago, a leader at one of our major hospital systems observed to me that we are at the tail end of a dying system of paying and providing for healthcare, and need to start building a new one. My colleagues and I are eager to begin that work. For the Minnesotans caught up in this crisis, solutions cannot come soon enough. Majority Leader Erin Murphy."

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has paused our nation-leading ban on AI nudification technology as part of X.AI’s court challenge of the law. Every Minnesota Senator and every Representative but one voted to pass this bill. Minnesota will keep fighting.

Senator Erin Maye Quade Statement on Federal Court Pause on Anti-Nudification Law

“This ruling is another devastating reminder of how little the safety of women and children mean to men with money and power. Minnesota is the only state that has cut off predators’ access to technology to commit AI-image sexual abuse — and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals just gave child predators their favorite tool back, with no legal reasoning in the ruling. Nudification technology is overwhelmingly used to sexually abuse women and create child sexual abuse material. Since Minnesota’s law passed in May 2026, at least four lawsuits have been filed by children and women accusing Elon Musk’s company of engaging in image-based sexual abuse.”

“To Musk, his company and its users: it is still illegal to disseminate nonconsensual sexual deepfakes, and dissemination includes sending to one or more persons. Each and every time his company generates a sexual deepfake and disseminates it to a user, the company is breaking the law.”

Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy's statement on the budget deal announced this evening. The agreement can be viewed here: content.govdelivery.com/attachments/...

Statement on Budget Deal.

“This was a hard-fought negotiation, and I’m damn proud to say we defended many of our most essential Senate positions, including property tax relief for homeowners and direct support to counties, and funding to stabilize healthcare at HCMC and critical access hospitals around the state.

The Senate DFL worked throughout this session to address the affordability crisis, save our healthcare system, invest in community infrastructure and keep food on the table for Minnesotans. This budget deal models those priorities, though much of it is consumed backfilling costs created by cuts from the federal government, and some of our strongest proposals did not have support across the aisle.
