Donald Trump is not a king. Yet, when Donald Trump tried to dismantle government agencies created by Congress to reduce homelessness, support small businesses, resolve labor disputes, he did exactly that.
I will always protect the important work these agencies do. and uphold the rule of law.

Donald Trump wants to turn us against each other, but Minnesotans don't turn on our neighbors. People from all walks of life and all across the world are proud to call our state home, and Minnesota is better for it.

ICE's actions in Minnesota this last week are deeply disturbing. Masked agents in Northfield pulled a father out of a car at gunpoint and arrested him in front of his son. After, ICE claimed he attempted to drive over agents despite the fact that he was in the passenger seat.

It’s hard to afford your life when your landlord is illegally coordinating with their rivals to keep your rent as high as possible.
I will keep fighting to end these unjust practices and to make the market fairer for renters.

It’s unacceptable when scammers target any Minnesotan. It’s particularly galling when scammers go after Minnesota’s veterans, who have risked and sacrificed so much on our behalf. Anyone preparing claims without authorization is breaking the law and taking advantage of veterans.

Trump spent the weekend golfing while intentionally letting 42M Americans go hungry. Today, I joined @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, @newjerseyoag.bsky.social, and staff from City Harvest & No Kid Hungry for an update on our fight to protect SNAP benefits and feed our neighbors.

It should never have come to this. Trump chose to hold hungry Minnesotans hostage while billionaires got richer by the second. I will never stop fighting to unrig this economy and the powerful interests — including in the White House — that profit off it while Americans suffer.

Online platforms offering sportsbooks and casino games run by out-of-state and overseas operators may make it look like online gambling is legal and safe in MN, but let me be clear: it's not. Thanks to Comm'r Jacobsen and the MN Dept. of Public Safety for partnering with my office on this issue.

Yesterday, I visited the Hallie Q. Brown Community Center and food shelf in Rondo to talk with @mccollum.house.gov and Ramsey County Commissioner Rena Moran to talk about the importance of SNAP and ensuring no Minnesotan goes hungry.

I won’t let Trump use hunger as a political weapon.
His Department of Agriculture has multiple ways to continue feeding hungry Minnesotans during the shutdown. And instead of using it, they tried to take food off the table of kids and families across the country.

Recently, I joined 38 of my fellow attorneys general in urging Congress to clarify federal law with respect to hemp and synthetic THC. This has generated some confusion, and I’d like to clarify what the letter means.

It is hard to be shocked by the cruelty and illegality of the Trump administration anymore, yet I am shocked that Trump is deliberately allowing 440,000 Minnesotans, to go hungry.
I am taking the Trump administration to court to help feed people in need.

Keeping the government open, protecting healthcare, and respecting the people who serve our country should not be partisan issues. It’s time for Republicans to put politics aside and start serving the people.

The indictment of Tish James and the indictment of James Comey — both completely unsupported by any actual fact — along with Trump’s raft of unconstitutional executive orders and the deliberate humiliation of top military leaders all have one thing in common: they’re hallmarks of fascism.

Donald Trump just told 800 top military leaders that they need to prepare to confront an “invasion from within.” He is preparing the United States military to turn on Americans who don’t agree with him.
This is tyranny.
