Trump and Republicans are making your life more expensive. I voted against his funding bill because it doesn’t come close to meeting the needs of Minnesotans.  Many of the projects it cut have to happen regardless, and without federal support, you’ll be the one paying for it.
MPR News headline: From bridges to water pipes, federal funding bill cuts hundreds of millions for projects across Minnesota

Last week, Republicans stopped projects like this from going forward. They want tax cuts for billionaires instead of childcare for working families.

Access to childcare has always been one of my priorities in the Senate. It’s a kitchen table issue that lets parents go to work. The Brainerd Family YMCA provides high-quality childcare for the community, and thanks to federal dollars, they built a new center.

Musk has never had to rely on a food shelf in his life – and Trump hasn’t either. Yet they think it’s fine to cut the funding that helps these pantries make ends meet– pantries like the Lakes Area Food Shelf in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota.

Minnesotans who rely on food shelves is at a record high – it’s a godsend for families who just need a little extra help feeding themselves and their kids.

And I’m pretty sure the hundreds of thousands of people who’ve contacted my office since you started this nonsense are on the same page.

More bullshit. Donald Trump, you can’t shut down the Dept. of Education — and you know it. Fox News even knows it. So stop it. We know you’re just trying to wear us out. But for the record, I am not overwhelmed. My zone isn’t flooded. I will fight your illegal behavior until the cows come home.
Fox News page with text from a story that says: Despite Trump's order, the president needs Congress to sign off on eradicating the agency, under Article Il of the U.S. Constitution. Such a measure would require 60 votes to pass in the Senate, and there are only 53 Republicans currently.

One thing that I think gets lost in all of this talk about Medicaid cuts: Medicaid goes by different names in different states.   Minnesota calls it Medical Assistance/MinnesotaCare. Wisconsin calls it BadgerCare. Alaska calls it DenaliCare. California calls it Medi-Cal.

We can’t stand aside while Musk and his cronies gut medical research — including research into mental health. @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social, @repangiecraig.bsky.social and I teamed up with NAMI to make sure Minnesotans know to speak up — we should be moving forward in this fight, not backwards.

Grocery prices are still too high, and Minnesota farmers are struggling as the bird flu devastates their flocks.   The Trump administration’s response has left too many questions unanswered. Farmers need help now and working families need to see prices come down.

Trump, Musk and Republicans are gutting the VA — firing thousands, many of them veterans — to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Fewer doctors, longer wait times, and worse care. This is reckless and a betrayal of the veterans who served our country. They deserve better.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govMar 17(source)
Trump lets Musk run completely unchecked through our government, firing workers managing things like housing support and veterans care just so they can give themselves and their billionaire friends big tax breaks.

Tribal sovereignty is inherent—it predates the United States and is enshrined in treaties, federal law, and the U.S. Constitution. We won't stop reminding the Trump administration of these facts.   Thank you to the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council for having me today.

Trump and Republicans set this up as an unprecedented power grab so they can slash and burn government services on their terms. I’m a firm NO — on cloture and final passage — on this ‘CR’
