Childcare enables parents go to work and grow our economy while their kids are safe and cared for – but many communities lack access to affordable options. I visited Moorhead to hear from childcare professionals directly – because the best ideas come from those on the ground.

One of our most iconic insects – our state butterfly – is vulnerable and it’s up to us to save it. I was in Fergus Falls to hear about the efforts of Fish and Wildlife workers to tag monarch butterflies, which helps track the health of the species as they migrate south.

The shift to clean power is vital for the health of Minnesotans. Take Fergus Falls for example, where leaders are replacing an old coal plant with a new solar array – a prime example of Bidenomics investing in the health of our kids and our planet.

I was at IndiaFest today to celebrate the culture and contributions of the Indian community in Minnesota. This year’s festival marks the 50th anniversary of the Indian Association of Minnesota. Their work makes Minnesota a better place to call home. Thanks for having me!

Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Rochester is building a park-and-ride lot for more Minnesotans to take advantage of public transit. Reducing congestion and making it easier to get to work will make a real impact on working families. That’s Bidenomics.

Every farmer needs a seat at the table when we’re discussing the Farm Bill. Today, Jack Hedin of Featherstone Farms in Rushford chatted with me about how specialty crop farmers should be included in this year’s Farm Bill.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure law is expanding high-speed internet throughout Fillmore County. Everybody should have access to broadband, and we’re one step closer to making that a reality.

Spring Grove business owners gave me a tour of their downtown to chat about how Congress can support rural economies and small businesses across the state. From the Red’s Market to the Rockfilter Distillery - Spring Grove embodies small town creativity and resilience.

The rug is about to be pulled out from under child care facilities across this country. My op-ed with Senator Warren on how to save working families from a child care crisis instigated by MAGA Republicans ⬇️

Opinion: The cutoff in child care funding is going to have devastating effects | CNN

President Joe Biden and Democrats should insist that emergency child care funding be part of any supplemental spending package, write Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Tina Smith.

Tribes always need a seat at the table, including for nutrition programs. I’m going to keep pushing for a Native Farm Bill.

‘Why re-create the wheel?’ | Indian Country leaders and experts advocate for self-governance in ...

With the Farm Bill’s 2023 reauthorization on the horizon this fall, a Senate Committee on Indian Affairs hearing this week revealed that tribal governments primarily want to govern themselves.

The body cam footage released yesterday is deeply unsettling. Ricky Cobb’s loved ones deserve answers on exactly what happened — answers that can only come from a thorough, transparent investigation.

Zitkála-Šá, Yankton Dakota Sioux, was a composer, educator and activist who helped Native Americans get the right to vote. She fought to give Indigenous people a say. I’m grateful to see the U.S. Mint is commemorating Indigenous voices like hers.

This is wrong - nobody should be punished for being themselves. I introduced the Name Accuracy in Credit Reporting Act with Senator Fetterman to make sure this doesn't happen again. Trans people deserve better 🏳️‍⚧️

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJul 31(source)

A Minnesota trans woman contacted me after her name change caused her credit report to be deleted. Without her credit report, she'd pay higher rates on loans and refinancing her home. She'd be penalized for being trans and living as her authentic self.

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Duluth just installed solar panels that will generate 40% of their energy. It's the kind of project the Inflation Reduction Act aimed for: cheaper, accessible clean energy for everyone.

Black Women’s Equal Pay Day is a stark reminder about how our economy continues to fail Black women. The average Black woman works over 19 months to make what the average white, non-Hispanic man makes in just 12. Fixing this is part of building an inclusive economy.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJul 26(source)

The Inflation Reduction Act is unleashing American energy and lowering carbon emissions. America’s manufacturing boom since it was signed into law is no coincidence. It’s Bidenomics in action.

This rule brings us one step closer to mental health parity, meaning we cover mental health care at the same level as physical health care. This isn’t controversial – tackling America's mental health crisis means passing my legislation with @RonWyden banning ghost networks.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJul 25(source)

‘Ghost networks’ are a deceptive tactic insurers use to make mental health care more difficult to access, sometimes by listing phony contact information for providers like therapists or psychologists. Patients struggling with their mental health shouldn't play these games.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJul 25(source)

NEW: The Department of Labor just announced a rule cracking down on insurance companies that avoid covering mental health at the same level as physical health. Let's talk about part of the new rule that I've been working to pass legislation on: ghost networks.
