Great to be in Luverne with @smith.senate.gov to celebrate the opening of the new Kids Rock Child Care Center! We worked together to secure federal funding for this new center, which will make a big difference for kids, families and businesses by expanding child care options.

If there’s one thing from my visit to a rural hospital in Hendricks, Minnesota everyone should know, it’s this: We should be talking about how we can improve Medicaid… not kicking people off of it.

The entire Upper Midwest is going to suffer long-term economic pain from these blanket tariffs.

Canada is one of Minnesota's largest trading partners – there's so many shared lines of products that are made in Minnesota using parts that are made in Canada and vice versa. Those supply chains are breaking and can’t just be rebuilt with the flip of a switch.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

One thing I've learned over the last 85 days - believe these guys when they say what they're going to do. Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and said it had to be eliminated - consequences be damned, apparently. They're gambling your future and don't care who gets hurt.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govApr 15(source)

DOGE wants to cut programs that are a lifeline for many Americans - I’m not going to make it easy for them. Today I visited Heavens Table Food Shelf to see how their staff and volunteers are helping Minnesotans put food on the table in Martin County.

Massive shoutout to @vanhollen.senate.gov for fighting to bring his constituent home, even if he has to fly to El Salvador himself.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govApr 15(source)

America follows the rule of law, not the whims of a dictator. The President can’t just ignore the Supreme Court. Return Mr. Abrego Garcia to Maryland.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govApr 15(source)

I’ve suspected it was only a matter of time before Trump openly defied SCOTUS. His refusal unambiguously reveals what he wants: Unlimited, unchecked power to do whatever he wants to whomever he wants. And trust me, this isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning — unless we stop him.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govApr 15(source)

Dictators disappear people – that’s what they do. The Supreme Court ordered Trump to work to bring Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia home to his family + three kids in a 9-0 unanimous decision. Trump’s defying that order and refusing to take responsibility for his mistake. That’s complete lawlessness.

Residents like Lisa aren’t asking for much — radiators that keep their families warm and windows that keep out the bitter cold of Minnesota winters. Repairs were slated to start — until DOGE got word and put the whole project in jeopardy.

Got to spend the morning with our State Patrol at the Roseville Dispatch Center to see how they keep Minnesotans safe. Thank you all for your service and thanks for having me!

Billionaires won't feel the difference if public schools shut down — but students sure will. We’ve got to stick together, stand up, and fight back against Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s attack on the Department of Education.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govApr 12(source)

So maybe this isn’t real, or it WAS real until a grownup found out about DOGE’s latest.

@SocialSecurity: This is false. Social Security will continue to communicate through any and all mediums.

@WIRED: SCOOP: The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be shifting its public communication exclusively to X, sources tell WIRED. This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.

AGAIN: There is no way to get the massive billionaire tax cuts they want and cut $1.5 trillion from the budget without taking away people’s health care. Basic math.

Mike Johnson: "We're gonna protect the essential programs for everyone who is eligible to receive those ... we'll be looking for $1.5 trillion in savings."

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govApr 10(source)

The admin’s top trade guy denied that this was a trade war. But if you’re tariffing EVERY country using an arbitrary, poorly written formula that makes no economic sense and just causes pain... and countries are promising to retaliate… that’s a trade war.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govApr 10(source)

They’re essentially telling everyone "Shut up, fall in line, and we’ll help you take people’s health care."

@AndrewDesiderio: THUNE to me just now when asked about some Freedom Caucus members not being moved by his statement —

“At some point, these guys just have to take yes for an answer. We’re aligned. We’re completely aligned with the House.”

Says he thought his statement was “straightforward”
