"I'm allowed to destroy a country, but I can't charge a little fee," President Trump told reporters today during his ranting press conference.
The Constitution is so clear on this issue that even the Supreme Court can't deny it: Only Congress has the power to impose tariffs.

The Supreme Court upheld Article I of the Constitution today. The President violated the law with his reckless and chaotic tariffs. Congress must now work to stabilize the economy for American families and businesses and repair relationships with our allies.
GOLD! Congratulations to Team USA Women's Hockey on an outstanding victory — including Minnesotans Lee Stecklein, Kelly Pannek, Grace Zumwinkle, Taylor Heise, and Rory Guilday.
Minnesota Olympians have now medaled in four events at the Milano-Cortina Games! 🥉🥈🥉🥇
Wishing a blessed Ash Wednesday and meaningful Lent to all those who observe over the next 40 days. May this time be full of renewal and reflection.
Ramadan Mubarak to all those who celebrate! Wishing my constituents and community members around Minnesota a blessed month full of renewal and reflection as they celebrate with family and friends!
Happy Lunar New Year! I’m wishing all those marking the start of the #YearOfTheFireHorse in Minnesota & around the world a joyful celebration and a year filled with growth, resilience, and prosperity.
I offer my condolences to the family and fellow Marines of Lance Cpl. Chukwuemeka E. Oforah, who died while deployed in the Caribbean following a tragic incident late last week. America's service members make extraordinary sacrifices to defend our nation, and we honor their bravery.
As the legislative session gets underway in Minnesota today, I join state lawmakers and Minnesotans from across our state in honoring the life and work of Melissa and Mark Hortman.
Melissa made Minnesota a better place for all of us. Her dedicated public service inspires us all.
As a former Girl Scout and Troop Leader, I’m glad to see safety is being prioritized during Girl Scout Cookie season as we continue to navigate these uncertain times. Now through March 29th, Girl Scout River Valleys Cookie program will be digital. www.twincities.com/2026/02/11/g...
Minnesota’s Energy Assistance Program is accepting applicants for winter energy assistance through May 31st. Homeowners and renters both qualify and are eligible based on household size and income. mn.gov/commerce/ene...
Proud to see apprentices training on next-gen heating & cooling tech. This project shows that labor and innovation go hand in hand!
Today I joined the Steamfitters-Pipefitters Local 455 and Grid Catalyst to celebrate the launch of groundbreaking heat pump technology developed right here in Minnesota by Flow Environmental Systems.
Women belong in the military.
The actions of Secretary Hegseth indicates he thinks otherwise, but our nation's senior enlisted leaders have made very clear that they support women serving in any role in our nation's armed forces.
President Trump sent unidentified, untrained federal agents to invade and occupy our state for months. Why? To cause chaos, division, and violence.
In this dark moment of American history, Minnesotans responded with unity.
Now, we begin the work of rebuilding our communities.
Congratulations to Aileen Geving and Cory Thiesse of Duluth, Tabitha Peterson Lovick and Tara Peterson of Eagan, and University of Minnesota alumna Tayler Anderson-Heide on defeating Canada in women's curling!
Minnesotans continue to excel at the Milano-Cortina Games. 🇺🇸

From @theathletic.com: Rich Ruohonen, a 54-year-old lawyer from Minnesota, became the oldest American to compete in the Winter Olympics. The curler spoke out on Tuesday at a news conference: “What’s happening in Minnesota is wrong. There’s no shades of gray.” nyti.ms/3ODrAVG
Congratulations to Jesse Diggins of Afton on an incredible performance to earn bronze in the women's 10K freestyle — her fourth Olympic medal. Minnesota is so proud of you.
That's medal number three for Minnesota Olympians at the Milano-Cortina Games! 🥉🥈🥉
Operation Metro Surge is an attack on Minnesota's values of freedom, democracy, and generosity.
No community in America should have to face the carnage and lasting damage inflicted on Minnesota communities by President Trump.
For ten weeks, Minnesota has endured a sustained and coordinated violation of our civil rights. It's time for ICE and Border Patrol to leave our state immediately.
The accident in Saint Paul’s Cathedral Hill today shows the danger posed to our neighbors by the ongoing presence of thousands of untrained, unidentified federal agents on our streets.
The Trump administration needs to end Operation Metro Surge and remove federal agents from our communities.
