Minnesota Senate DFL

Minnesota's rural hospitals are being crushed by Trump's reckless cuts. When we passed $115M in emergency assistance for rural hospitals, Republicans refused to support the funding - or even admit we’re facing a crisis. #MNLeg #Minnesota #ruralhealthcare

After the murders of #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti, Senate DFLers fought for justice and passed a bill requiring the MN BCA to investigate cases involving the killing of #Minnesota residents by federal agents. Every Senate Republican voted no. House Republicans wouldn’t even give the bill a vote.

While Minnesotans across the state are struggling to afford the rising cost of living, Republican Senators are pretending this crisis doesn't even exist. They denied reality, but Senate DFLers still managed to pass emergency rent assistance to take care of Minnesotans. #MNLeg #Minnesota #DFL #rent

When Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress gave tax breaks to billionaires, they left Minnesotans with the bill. #minnesota #MNLeg #DFL #affordabilitycrisis

No, Minnesota Republicans do not get to celebrate National School Lunch Week. The GOP has spent the last three years trying to undo the Universal School Meals program, which would take away free lunches from #Minnesota kids. We won't let Republicans forget how they voted. #MNLeg #SchoolLunch #DFL

It's National School Lunch Week, and we have so much to celebrate! Since we passed Universal School Meals in 2023, we've saved the average family $2,000 per year. Providing kids in #Minnesota free breakfast and lunch at school helps every family, and it's the gift that keeps on giving. #MNLeg #lunch

Donald Trump is a coward who is weaponizing hate to distract from his many failures as our president. To our Somali community here in Minnesota, we have your back. #Minnesota #MNLeg #DFL

Today is National Children's Health Day, and Republican cuts are wrecking the healthcare system that Minnesota's most vulnerable kids rely on. Medicaid is a system that we built to help those who need it, and our kids need it to thrive. #Medicaid #MNLeg #Minnesota

The consequences of these cuts will be extreme and dangerous. Without Medicaid, how will we support our most vulnerable kids?

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has paused our nation-leading ban on AI nudification technology as part of X.AI’s court challenge of the law. Every Minnesota Senator and every Representative but one voted to pass this bill. Minnesota will keep fighting.

Minnesotans are in crisis, being squeezed by rising costs from every direction. Today's health insurance rate increases are another way that the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress are pushing families into crisis. #healthinsurance #minnesota #rateincreases #mnleg

MN DFLers have been fighting for a better system for years, but we need #Republican partners to admit the current system is not working and join us in seeking better options. How many cost hikes and care cuts will it take for Republicans to stand up for #Minnesotans, not the insurance industry? #DFL

After Trump's Medicaid cuts, our rural hospitals are in dire need of support. Yet Republican leaders came to the negotiating table with $0 for rural hospitals because they refuse to stand up to Trump even when he's harming Minnesotans and your access to affordable healthcare. #Minnesota #healthcare

The Trump Administration is manipulating the federal student loan process once again, but the goal is still the same. Republicans are intent on limiting access to education and bankrupting students that dare to bet on themselves. #studentloans #mnleg

In #Minnesota, we're laser focused on growing a well-educated, well-rounded workforce to support MN’s future. We created the North Star Promise to help hundreds more people access #highereducation without huge debt.

September is National Wilderness Month, and we're celebrating all of the natural beauty across Minnesota. #nature #wilderness #minnesota #mnleg

This winter, Minnesotans were terrorized by ICE. We have a responsibility as legislators to defend our constituents and create a path for justice. #iceout #senatedfl

We passed our ICE accountability package in the Senate, but House Republicans stood in our way. #minnesota #mnleg

Republicans might scoff at this in our comment section, but it doesn't change the facts. Universal School Meals have been a gamechanger for Minnesota's kids, their families, and their household budgets. Just one more thing to brag about when you live in #Minnesota! #mnleg #senatedfl

Today is #EqualPayDay, and we are taking a trip down memory lane to recognize the huge strides we have made in #Minnesota.

The Senate DFL has been on the frontlines of the equal pay crisis, and we will continue to shape our state to be an even playing field for every working family. #Minnesota #MNLeg

While we are fighting to end hunger in Minnesota, Republicans are ignoring the issue. Denial will not help put food on the table for anyone. #MNLeg #FoodInsecurity

We need to fund our food banks, protect universal school meals for our kids, and hold the Trump Administration accountable for cutting food assistance. #Minnesota

Former Government teacher Sen. Cwodzinski carries the Constitution in his pocket and is always reminding us how important that document is - something that's been even more important during this last year in Minnesota. Can you pass his pop quiz? #ConstitutionDay #Minnesota #MNLeg #senatedfl

To every Minnesotan who stood up for their neighbors during the federal immigration surge this winter, thank you for your courage. This award of resilience is proof of how much stronger we are when we stand together in the face of tyranny. #Minnesota #iceout

#Trump and Republicans in Congress are in the pocket of #BigTech, so of course they don't see a problem with these emerging technologies that are harming Minnesotans.

As the world rapidly evolves, we know that the guardrails on new tech need to evolve too. #Minnesota has passed first-in-the-nation laws that prioritize people, not AI. #MNLeg #SenateDFL

Donald Trump's tariffs and his war with Iran are putting a strain on Minnesotans, and now school bus operators are combating the rising costs of diesel. #gasprices #Trumptariffs #BacktoSchool #Minnesota

GREAT NEWS: Starting tomorrow, nursing home workers across the state are getting a raise! These new standards are just one of the ways workers win in Minnesota. Thank you @senatorpappas.bsky.social for your work on this bill in the Senate! #minnesota #mnleg #senatedfl #nursinghomeworkers

We're tackling real problems that Minnesota families are facing, and that starts with making sure our kids are set up for success in school. #BacktoSchool #Minnesota

Senate DFLers pushed for universal free school meals for ALL kids in 2023, and today, we’ve served more than 450 million meals to Minnesota students. That translates to $2000 in savings for the average Minnesotan family! #MNLeg

A federal grand jury has indicted ICE officer Christian Castro on charges of making false statements about the nonfatal shooting of a Minnesotan named Julio C. Sosa-Celis. #Minnesota #ICE

3 Sept

The people who exercised their constitutional rights, blew their whistles, and recorded ICE are the reason Christian Castro is being held accountable. We must continue to stand up for truth and accountability for all of the harm that was inflicted on Minnesota. #ICEAccountability

Our hearts are with the victims, their loved ones, and everyone in the community impacted by the violence in Loring Park tonight.

Trump's tariffs have cost the average Minnesotan family $2,000 since 2025. While he starts reckless trade wars with Minnesota's biggest trading partner, the Senate DFL is fighting to bring down costs for every household. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

Legislators met today to begin setting up Minnesota’s new independent Office of Inspector General. #Minnesota #MNLeg

We are taking a historic step forward in protecting public dollars and making sure resources reach the people and communities they’re meant to serve. An independent Inspector General will be a watchdog for your tax dollars, helping detect and prevent fraud against state government. #InspectorGeneral

GREAT NEWS: Senator Heather Gustafson was just elected Chair of the Inspector General Advisory Commission! After carrying this bill into law, she will lead the work to build this new taxpayer watchdog office to stop fraud and protect our state programs. #mnleg #senatedfl #minnesota
