Judge Donovan Frank's dedication to this country should be celebrated. His role extends far beyond the courtroom – he brings naturalization ceremonies to those who can't attend in his courtroom. He's fulfilling their American dreams right in their homes.

He’s literally threatening anyone who helps Kate Cox try to save her own life with jail time, and encouraging Texans to bring vigilante suits against her husband. Cruel doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Postmaster General DeJoy is responsible for fixing this. This can’t keep happening and Minnesotans won’t stand for it. The Postal Service isn’t a luxury, it’s essential. The stories shared were heart-wrenching. One carrier described the last few weeks as the worst in her *30 years* with USPS.
Senate hosts listening session on Bemidji mail delivery delays
A listening session was hosted in Bemidji on Tuesday by the offices of U.S. Senators Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar to hear about community-wide issues related to mail delivery delays.

With this Farm Bill, we have an opportunity to correct historical injustices and uplift Black, Indigenous, Somali, Hmong, Latino, and other farmers of color who have long been marginalized and underserved. We can create real, lasting change and I won’t stop until we get there.

Thank you National Association of Counties for having me at your board meeting. We passed historic legislation for everything from broadband to clean energy, and county workers ensure those funds reach where they're most needed. Their dedication helps countless communities across the US thrive.

Thank you, Judge Wright. You have made Minnesota a more just and equitable place, and your impact will be felt for generations to come. Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement. I wish you the best in your next adventure.

During her time on the bench, Judge Wright demonstrated unwavering integrity and a deep commitment to upholding the law. She exemplifies compassion and always considers the human impact of her decisions. She has been a true advocate for justice and will be dearly missed.

Judge Wilhelmina Wright announced her retirement last night. Her career has been trailblazing as Minnesota's first Black woman federal judge. Her legacy will continue to inspire generations of Black Women and girls to dream big and achieve their goals.

AIDS is not a death sentence. And with the right resources and support, we can eradicate it. Today is World AIDS Day and I have a bill that would be a critical step in ensuring everyone has access to life-saving HIV medications. We just need to muster the courage to pass it.

Justice O’Connor's service as the first woman on the Supreme Court will always be a testament to the power of breaking barriers. Her presence on the Court not only opened doors for future generations of women but also redefined the landscape of American leadership.

Pundits often like to oversimplify the complexities of the economy... BUT in the housing market, a lot can be explained by the simple principle of supply + demand. ⬇️ Supply + ⬆️ Demand = ⬆️🏠 Prices Minneapolis shows a solution: build (a lot) more housing.

Getting rid of Obamacare would be about the dumbest thing Congress could do. Minnesota expanded Medicaid to over 300,000 people under the ACA who can sleep easier at night knowing they have high quality health insurance when a family member gets hurt or a kid gets sick.

Louis DeJoy doesn't understand that in the North Country and Greater Minnesota, the Postal Service is a lifeline – not a luxury. Minnesotans should be able to rely on the Postal Service. It's his job to ensure they can, and I'll be holding him accountable until this is fixed.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 28(source)
Millions of Americans rely on the Postal Service every day. With the holiday season approaching, I'm calling on Postmaster General DeJoy to answer for the harm done to postal workers and Minnesotans.
U.S. Senator Tina Smith Presses Postmaster Louis DeJoy for Answers on Mail Issues - Senator Tina Smi...
WASHINGTON, D.C. –  Last week, U.S. Senator Tina Smith sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy pressing for answers regarding the Postal Service’s agreements with Amazon and the impact...
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 28(source)
If the United States Postal Service has contracts with Amazon that make mail late... that’s a breach of the Postmaster General’s responsibilities. Postal workers deserve better. Minnesotans need their bills and prescriptions to be delivered on time ⬇️📬
A rural post office was told to prioritize Amazon packages. Chaos ensued.
Amazon has increasingly come to rely on postal carriers to make “last-mile” deliveries in harder-to-reach rural locations.

Judge Bryan will be the first Latino on the court’s bench. His commitment to the rule of law and his litigation experience make this a big win for Minnesota. Very happy we were able to get this done (and on a bipartisan basis!)

For Transgender Day of Remembrance, we can honor their memory by organizing to make the world a better place for future generations and bringing down the rate of suicide and depression in trans youth. That means passing a Trans Bill of Rights and the Equality Act.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 20(source)
I’m heartbroken thinking of the families having their first Thanksgiving with an empty seat at the table, the child who lost their best friend, or the classrooms with a now-empty desk. We lose too many trans kids to hatred and bigotry. They deserved so much better. 🏳️‍⚧️
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 16(source)
I brag about Minnesota a lot... and I'm gonna do it again. For Transgender Awareness Week, I really think we could all take a page from Minnesota's playbook on supporting trans people and their families 🏳️‍⚧️
Minnesota LGBTQ organizations offer support to newcomers seeking trans refuge
With a new Minnesota law making the state a refuge for people seeking gender-affirming care, local organizations are offering support to transgender and nonbinary arrivals.
