At the end of the day, what I am going to miss most about this job isn't the perks and certainly not all of the attention.
It's going to be that feeling that I have from all of you of being invited into your living rooms to hear what's happening in your lives and what that's been like for you.

Second: We have a deep bench of political talent in Minnesota, a group of leaders that are more than ready to pick up the work and carry us forward.
First: I have nearly two full years left in my term, and I plan to use every day working as hard as I can to represent your interests in the Senate and making sure your voices are heard.
(Also, since I don't have to run a re-election campaign, I can focus entirely on this job right now)
This decision is not political, it is entirely personal.
But it's not lost upon me that our country is in need of strong, progressive leadership - right now maybe more than ever.
So there are two things on my mind...
My father is turning 95 this summer, and I'm blessed to have a large extended family of siblings and nieces and nephews.
One of my great joys is to know that I get to spend more time with them, doing sleepovers and helping out from time to time when the kids need me.
When I first came to the Senate, I didn't have any grandchildren.
Now, Archie and I have four - and our sons, Sam and Mason, and daughters in law, Emily and Julia, are now all living in Minneapolis so we can be together.
I wanted you to hear directly from me that I have decided not to run for reelection to the Senate in 2026.
I have loved my job, and after 20 years of hard and rewarding work in the public sector, I'm ready to spend more time with my family.
I want to take some time here to explain my decision (🧵)
Republicans need to work with us to put a stop to this – he’s vacuuming up all this money Minnesotans were promised, but they seem fine with it because it’ll pay for big tax breaks for corporations.
Just heard from a Minnesota farmer who fronted her own money for some conservation work because USDA had a contractual agreement to reimburse her.
Musk’s freeze means she’s out that money and USDA is refusing to reimburse.
If Republicans think pursuing an agenda that’s solely focused on Wall Street and big corporations is going to do anything to help make life affordable, they need a reality check that I am happy to provide.
Tax cuts for billionaires won’t boost wages.
Tax cuts for billionaires won’t make housing cheaper.
Tax cuts for billionaires won’t make health care cheaper.
Tax cuts for billionaires won’t make groceries cheaper.
Tax cuts for billionaires will not help us or our families.
Families will go hungry and sick people will forego care.
All so they can line the pockets of billionaires and big corporations with money from tax cuts. That’s their game plan.
We understand that big concentrations of wealth and power in this country hurt us and help billionaires like Elon Musk and his friends. They like it that way and use chaos/misinformation to distract us from their end game: Giant tax breaks for big corporations and billionaires.
Follow the money.
Just confirmed with the University of St. Thomas that funding to train more special education teachers was *cancelled* because of Trump’s cuts.
Why? Because Republicans are vacuuming up every dollar they can for massive corporate tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
They don’t care who gets screwed.

BREAKING: In response to our motion, the court has required CDC, FDA, and HHS to immediately restore critical health info and data that the Trump administration ordered the agencies to remove.
This is a huge win for doctors, researchers, and patients.
Just inconceivable amounts of recklessness.
There’s now nobody at USAID to make sure our aid doesn’t go to terrorist groups. And the only reason we know this is thanks to an Inspector General – one Trump hasn’t fired yet.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.
Hopped on @msnbc.com to talk about Musk’s takeover of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — the agency created to protect you from greedy Wall Street investors.
Just heard from the U of M about the impacts of Trump/Musk’s funding cuts to health research.
They painted a grim picture — cutting off funding designed to help unlock new cures and treatments that save lives.
Republicans need to grow a spine and stand up to this.
They control Congress. They control the Executive. The last check on their power grab is the judicial system – and that’s their next target.
Will any Republicans speak out against this?
