As Minnesotans figure out how to fill up their fuel tank, Michele Tafoya told them to “keep a stiff upper lip.” That’s not an economic plan—that’s being desperate for Donald Trump’s approval.

This weekend, I visited farmers in Browns Valley who told me that they're being squeezed in every direction by the Trump administration:

Openly provoking a foreign adversary to kill millions of Americans is completely unhinged and reckless. Donald Trump is the most dangerous and corrupt president in our nation’s history. The stakes are too high to send him another yes vote from Minnesota.

Our campaign is about building a future the next generation can be proud of — just like these UMN-Morris students are doing by getting involved in their community. It’s going to take us all to make the big, bold change we need — and I’ve got your back in this fight.

Today, Anne showed me around her farm and made it clear that Minnesota’s farmers are being hit from all sides right now. Our farmers deserve stability from the federal government — not skyrocketing diesel prices from Trump’s illegal War.

In 30 days, we have a choice, Minnesota: Do you want a Senator who will work for you to lower costs, end the illegal war in Iran, and hold ICE accountable? Or do you want another Senator for Trump?

Today, I kicked off my Got Your Back Tour in South St. Paul — my third statewide tour of this campaign. This campaign has always been about showing up and fighting for working people. Because Minnesotans deserve a Senator who has your back — not Donald Trump's.

My mom worked hard, but sometimes she needed help to make ends meet. SNAP kept food on the table, and Medicaid paid my hospital bills when I had chronic asthma. If we had more leaders who knew what that felt like, we wouldn’t have passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.

Trump’s war in Iran has cost taxpayers over $40 BILLION (yes, with a B!) and skyrocketed the price of gas and groceries. But Michele Tafoya is still all in for it.

Michele Tafoya said she’ll “protect” Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill in the Senate. I’m going to fight to restore the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP - the same programs that saved my life as a kid.

Renee Nicole Good was a mother, a daughter, a wife, a neighbor, and a Minnesotan. Nine months ago, an ICE agent shot her, then allegedly refused a physician's offer of medical aid. Her family deserves accountability and justice. It's long past time.

Some of the worst cuts of Trump's Big, Ugly Bill take effect in Minnesota today. Thousands of Minnesotans will lose their Medicaid. $32 million in SNAP cuts will force kids to go hungry. At the same time, Trump's billionaire besties get tax breaks for another private plane.

Peggy Flanagan and Bernie Sanders pose for a photo with Minnesotans. Above the photo reads a quote from Bernie reading, "Peggy Flanagan has got the guts to stand up for working people against billionaires and corporate interests. Peggy knows what it is to struggle. She was raised by a hard-working single mother and she’s dedicated her career to fighting for working families."

AFSCME workers are on the frontlines every day, caring for patients and keeping Hennepin County Medical Center running around the clock. The only reason HCMC works is because they do. I've got their back in the fight for living wages and safe working conditions.

We need to love our kids more than we love our guns — and that starts with banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Every child deserves to grow up safe, and I’m proud to stand with Gabby and the GIFFORDS PAC in that fight.

Minnesotans deserve a leader who will build on progress we’ve seen over the past few years. From helping to expand background checks, pass red flag laws, & fund gun safety initiatives, Lt Gov @peggyflanagan.bsky.social has proven that she is that leader. We’re proud to endorse her for U.S. Senate.

10 months later, Minnesotans are still feeling the effects of Operation Metro Surge. Kids are still scared to go to school. Parents are too afraid to take their kids to the doctor. The federal government laid this on our doorstep – now, they must fix what they broke.
An NPR article reads, "Pediatricians raise the alarm on the effect of Trump's immigration crackdown on kids"

The corruption coming out of the White House is bananas. It's time we ban members of Congress and the president from trading stocks.

Donald Trump's ICE has detained more than 6,200 children. Michele Tafoya believes ICE is treating those children "really, really well." No child should worry about coming home to an empty house or sitting next to an empty desk at school.
