As Trump’s reckless war drives diesel prices to record highs, I’m taking executive action to cut fuel costs for Minnesota farmers, loggers, and truckers. The order allows producers and haulers to move more products per trip - reducing costs during this critical harvest season.

First, Trump’s family made billions from crypto. Then his crypto company got a federal bank charter, giving him and his family a new way to profit. Trump's not working for you. He's working for himself.
