I want to make sure we don’t lose sight of the history of United Auto Workers and who this strike is really for: the workers who sacrificed so much to save their industry.     So, let’s talk about Ryder Littlejohn.
The enhanced Child Tax Credit meant more kids had food on the table and a roof over their heads. We can’t justify letting a policy lapse after it helped cut child poverty by nearly half. Congress delivered for working families before. It’s time to do it again.
It was great to join Dream of Wild Health as they mark 25 years of fostering a stronger, healthier Native American community in the Twin Cities through food and agriculture. Uplifting and supporting Indigenous agriculture is central to my work on this year’s Farm Bill.

800k+ people reached out for food help in Minnesota last year. It's inexcusable so many Americans face hunger in the wealthiest country on earth. September is Hunger Action Month. I joined Second Harvest Heartland at the ACBC Food Shelf in Anoka to learn more about their work to end hunger.

From disaster response to national threats, the MN National Guard needs the right tools to execute its mission. The 133rd Airlift Wing is getting new C-130J aircraft that fly farther and faster than its current, aging fleet so they are equipped to serve our nation.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau shields Americans from Wall Street greed. Its core function is to root out abusive practices by financial institutions trying to pull a fast one on working families. The CFPB keeps businesses honest. It's indispensable and must be protected.
Why would we change a policy that we knew would make children fall back into poverty again? Letting this policy lapse is one of Congress’ greatest failures. We need to reinstate the enhanced Child Tax Credit.
Buffalo are sacred to Native communities across North America. They are also a vital Indigenous food source for Native communities. We need a Farm Bill that supports Tribes with buffalo herds and includes my legislation with Senator Mullin: The PRIME Act.
Buffalo were driven to near extinction in an effort to starve Indigenous peoples and force them onto reservations in the 1800s. Tribes have led the way to restore buffalo herds across the country - it’s good to see the federal government following suit.
Investing in career and technical education paves the way to good paying, in-demand, skilled trade jobs like electricians and HVAC technicians. Today Secretary Cardona visited Dakota County Technical College to see how we are training our future workforce here in Minnesota.

Offering mental health care services directly in schools helps parents, educators and students. Full Service Community Schools like the one Secretary Cardona and I visited in Rochester provide a variety of supports so kids can focus on what’s important: getting an education.

Minnesota’s Child Tax Credit puts money back in the pockets of working families. It’s a proven tool to combat poverty and we should have it nationwide.
Minnesota

A new $1750 child tax credit for Minnesota families. 

Changes EITC to target adult dependents and workers without children in the home. 

$419 million additional annual investment in households.
Justice Thomas is disclosing some of the lavish gifts he accepted this year from a right wing billionaire with interests before the Supreme Court. The Court is facing a legitimacy crisis of its own creation. We need a code of ethics and court expansion to save our democracy.
Clean energy is win-win-win. It can reduce costs, reduce emissions, and increase our energy independence. In Duluth, Secretary Granholm and I visited a solar garden that is bringing clean energy to a low-income area and supporting an emergency fund to help families pay for their utilities.
U. S. Senator Tina Smith stands and talks with Duluth Mayor Emily Larson and Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm
The Inflation Reduction Act is bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States. Secretary Granholm and I visited Heliene to celebrate over 100 new, good paying jobs coming to the Iron Range to meet the growing demand for solar panels.
Pharma companies have been charging whatever they’ve wanted and taxpayers have footed the bill — but that’s about to change.   Medicare’s new negotiating power is going to save tax dollars AND drive down costs at the pharmacy counter.   Bidenomics in action.
Black owned businesses are thriving in Minnesota and you can look no further than the Minnesota State Fair for proof.   Afro Deli (whose owner is National Small Businessperson of the Year!) and Lip Esteem are first-time fair booths – but I’m sure we’ll see them back again!

I’m very serious about my fried green tomato sandwich (yes, for breakfast) Nobody does breakfast quite like Minnesota Farmers Union
