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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 11(source)

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.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 11(source)

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.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 11(source)

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.

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

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?

Vice President Vance saying: If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal. Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.

MN is proud to help feed the world (in fact, this program was created by Hubert Humphrey). Now not only is that in jeopardy, but millions of dollars in income for farmers is too? Disgusting. This food, which we’ve already paid for, is waiting on ships to be delivered to those who need it.

Shuttering of USAID could mean the end of millions in income for Midwest farm operations

Frozen by Elon Musk’s DOGE personnel, the USAID program purchased $70 million in commodities in 2024 from Minnesota vendors.

Every committee in Congress should hold urgent hearings on Musk's illegal takeover of the federal government. He is causing real harm to the American people. I've been demanding hearings in the committees I sit on — the Republicans in charge need to DO THEIR JOBS.

During the Gales of November, when extremely strong winds have been known to produce swells that can crush boats, NOAA is especially vital to the Northland.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 7(source)

These are the people who monitor and publish Lake Superior's conditions every day. Minnesotans along the North Shore rely on NOAA to know whether or not it’s safe to go out on the water. These agencies and their staff do real work that keeps us safe, it just goes unnoticed - until they’re gone.

"Former NOAA officials told CBS News that current employees have been told to expect a 50% reduction in staff and budget cuts of 30%."

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 7(source)

Remember when Trump froze the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law on his first day in office? In the midst of all the chaos, that freeze is still in place and is creating real uncertainty for road projects that have already started. When the construction drags on, you know who to blame.
