This is reckless and puts Americans' health and food at risk — and we will fight back against it.

Stop 15 on my 19-county rural tour: Freeborn County!
I met with Green Acres Milling founders & co-owners Landon and Dr. Anne Plagge, local farmer investors, & Mayor Richard Murray.
We discussed their plans to build a new processing facility to spark new economic opportunity.
When I’m at town halls, people who voted for Trump want to know why he isn’t bringing prices down or helping with housing.
Trump’s tariff taxes are bad for everyone— eating into margins and raising costs.
Stop 14 on my 19-county rural tour: Waseca County!
I visited the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute, which works with MN farmers, businesses, & entrepreneurs to develop innovative uses for ag products.
I’m committed to getting a bipartisan Farm Bill to support them.
Stop 13 on my 19-county rural tour: Blue Earth County!
I toured the VINE Adult Community Center & met with seniors to talk about the issues they are facing, including threats to Medicaid & attacks on Social Security.
I will continue fighting to protect our seniors.
Head Start provides child care and preschool to thousands of Minnesota kids. But this year, Minnesota has received almost $20 million less in Head Start funding. We need to invest in our kids — not take away child care.
Stop 12 on my 19-county rural tour: Faribault County!
I visited MN Soybean Growers President Darin Johnson's farm to meet with members of his family and MSGA leaders to discuss farmers' concerns, including trade uncertainty and rising input costs as we near spring planting season.
Stop 11 on my 19-county rural tour: Martin County!
I stopped by the Martin County Historical Society to meet board members & local leaders & discuss concerns, including the uncertainty nursing homes are facing with threats to Medicaid & delays in infrastructure improvements.
This is about the rule of law. The Administration must follow court orders.
I stand with @vanhollen.senate.gov in fighting to stop this injustice.
Google has dominated online advertising for too long and used its power to squelch competition and raise prices. This is a big win for consumers, small businesses, and content creators that will open digital markets to more innovation and lower prices.
Stop 10 on my 19-county rural tour: Jackson County!
I joined Brian Werner from Minnesota Bio-Fuels and Heron Lake BioEnergy CEO Mike Green for a tour of their facility.
Our farmers and ethanol producers need business certainty, including year-round E15 and fair trade policies.
Stop 9 on my 19-county rural tour: Nobles County!
I visited the Nobles County Dispatch Center with County Commissioner Board Chair Gene Metz, Mayor Rick Von Holt, Police Chief Troy Apple, & public safety officials.
We must support the 9-1-1 workers who are vital to public safety.
THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.
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.
I was in Howard Lake for a town hall with MN Farmers Union President Gary Wertish and MN Farm Bureau President Dan Glessing.
Farmers raised important concerns, including the impact of tariffs, the need for a bipartisan Farm Bill, and how to strengthen the agricultural workforce.
Stop 8 on my 19-county rural tour: Rock County!
Great to celebrate the opening of the new Kids Rock Child Care Center in Luverne with @smith.senate.gov — who I worked with to secure federal funding for this project.
The expansion will open up new spots for hundreds of kids!
President Trump’s firing of FTC Commissioners was not only illegal, it also undermines critical work to protect consumers from fraud, scams, and corruption.
I joined @booker.senate.gov and over 200 Democrats in Congress in urging the court to reinstate them.
The new partnership between Ticketmaster and Fanatics may violate antitrust laws and could easily raise ticket prices for consumers.
I'm leading a bipartisan effort with Senator Mike Lee to get answers and protect consumers.

I visited the Alexandria Tech & Comminity College to hear how their Global Military Learning Network — which I helped secure federal funding for — is helping service members get college credit for their military training and enter the workforce.
Stop 5 on my 19-county rural tour: Wright County!
I joined Minnesota Farmer’s Union and the Minnesota Farm Bureau at a rural town hall to hear from farmers and ag leaders about concerns on trade uncertainty and the need for a bipartisan Farm Bill.
