These guys do this kind of thing because they’re so rich they couldn’t even fathom needing help to keep the heat on, and if it doesn’t benefit them, it needs to be cut.
It got down to -35 in International Falls this winter.

The Lindbo’s are just one family out of tens of thousands in Minnesota who rely on Medical Assistance to get the care they need.
We should be making Medicaid work better, not kicking people off of it by cutting its funding.
Housing is one of the most important parts of your life. Without it, nothing - from your health care to your education - works.
Ten organizations across the state will now have the resources to continue their work for Minnesotans in underserved areas.
We could all use some good news these days, and I’m happy to share it.
Key HUD funding which helps boost housing supply, support small businesses, and strengthen our workforce, was stalled by Trump/Musk. But after grassroots organizing + support all across the country, that funding was restored.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
Who wins here? Not veterans who use an already understaffed VA. Not workers left in limbo. I’m not seeing ANYONE who wins.
And it’s not just this CNA — this Administration is just leaving workers with offers in a state of limbo, and in this economy, not knowing if you’re going to get hired for months isn’t an option for a lot of families.
You’d be hard pressed to find ANY hospital that isn’t in need of a CNA, but apparently vets had to wait until Musk deemed this worker worthy.
A nursing assistant at the VA had their offer rescinded, then restored, then paused, until finally being hired after months of back and forth because of this Administration.
Only ¼ of eligible families currently get vouchers to help cover their rent. A lot of these families could become homeless or be put on the brink of homelessness if we cut Section 8 funding.
Just a cruel move that will only make the housing crisis worse and harm millions of families.
NEW: The White House is preparing a budget that could include deep cuts to federal housing funds, and a reconfiguration of housing vouchers/Section 8 that may result in low-income families losing aid. Many told me the details are hazy, but the result is fewer dollars www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...
I’ve been in real world Minnesota today hearing how Trump cuts to Medicaid will shut down rural hospitals.
So pardon me if I don’t have patience with JD Vance trying to change the subject.

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.
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.
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.
