I'm committed to partnering with advocates to create a responsible path forward for the industry federally, similar to what has been done here in MN, in order to support MN consumers, small businesses, and farmers.

Great news: we have secured a temporary pause to Trump’s latest assault on the most vulnerable Minnesota families.
My team and I will be in court working to permanently block Trump’s illegal and deeply cruel actions.

The @hennepinatty.bsky.social and my office have an interest as state prosecutors in fairness and transparency. To the degree possible, we want to set forth a process about which fair-minded people can say when it’s over, “as good and just of a job that could be done was done."

This latest front in Donald Trump's war on Minnesotans is as cruel as it is unlawful. Without childcare assistance, poor families will be forced to choose between parents going to work and paying their bills or staying home to provide childcare during their working hours.

The cutting-edge medical and public health research done in Minnesota has saved and improved countless lives. Minnesota is widely recognized as a national leader in conducting medical research, and that’s a tremendous point of pride for our state.

It's appalling that the defendant founded and used a nonprofit to serve his own personal interests, instead of the people of Minnesota.
My office launched this investigation and filed this lawsuit because I will not allow nonprofits to serve as a guise for nonprofit leaders to enrich themselves.

The Trump admin is trying to take food off the tables of hungry children and families across Minnesota, all to score cheap political points.
I will not allow that, which is why I’m asking the courts to block this blatantly illegal action from the Trump administration.

I’ve said it before and I’ll said it again: Gender-affirming care is healthcare, period. It is evidence-based, backed by the American Medical Association, and helps trans individuals live their lives with the dignity we all deserve. Gender-affirming care saves lives.

Once again, the Trump Administration is threatening to let the needy go hungry.
Donald Trump is doing whatever he can to keep vulnerable people hungry and scheming new ways to punish the states that want to keep them fed.

No one should be taken advantage of because they miss their family. But that’s what these defendants did.
I filed this lawsuit so no one else is harmed or defrauded into giving up their savings, because someone saw people’s love of their families as a way to scam hard-working Minnesotans.

I have strongly supported the CFPB, as both AG and a member of Congress and I don’t intend to stop. Attorneys general have broad powers in state and federal law to protect consumers, and I will use all the tools available to me to protect Minnesotans from financial harm.

The spread of Cryptocurrency ATMs has me extremely concerned. While these ATMs are not scams themselves, many scammers trick their targets into sending money via cryptocurrency ATM because those transactions are virtually impossible to trace.

I am committed to vigorously defending Minnesota’s medical providers who do incredible work to treat and care for all Minnesotans, including our trans neighbors. I have already taken the Trump Admin to court to stop them from scapegoating the trans community. I will not hesitate to do so again.

Today’s charges and guilty plea are an important step in combatting fraud and protecting our tax dollars. It boils my blood that fraudsters are taking advantage of that generosity, and my office and I will gladly partner with all those who are also committed to holding fraudsters accountable.

It's hard for Minnesotans to afford their lives when businesses are trying to deceive them. An ad for "11% OFF EVERYTHING" clearly implies you can buy goods at an 11% discount, not that you can participate in a limited rebate program or get in-store credit on future purchases.

BREAKING: My office reached a nationwide settlement with Kia & Hyundai that requires them to install ignition cylinder protectors (pictured below) in their theft-prone vehicles for free.
This will protect Kias & Hyundais from the kinds of viral thefts we've these past few years.

Too many Minnesotans have lost money to subscriptions they thought they canceled or didn’t realize they signed up for in the first place, and that’s unacceptable. I’m suing Uber to stop these predatory business practices and force them to do right by the people of Minnesota.

Minnesotans are counting on our state to keep energy costs down, create good paying jobs, and combat climate change. Wind energy helps us achieve all those goals.
I will always do everything I can to ensure Minnesotans can afford their lives with dignity, safety, and respect.

Donald Trump’s disgraceful attacks on Minnesota’s Somali community are injecting more of his poisonous racism into our beloved home state. Hearing him single out our people based solely on their race and country of origin is downright disgusting.
