Minnesota Senate DFL

When Trump and Republicans want to talk about stopping fraud, they should look in the mirror.

When Kristi Noem is fired AND it's Puppy Day at the Capitol ☺️

This is the beginning of Kristi Noem's accountability, not the end.

Let's increase penalties for those who intimidate or interfere with our voting process. While Republicans are trying to undermine our democracy, Senators like @senbonniewestlin.bsky.social won't let partisan actors weaken our nation-leading election system.

Minnesotan among six service members killed in airstrike in Kuwait A Minnesotan is among the U.S. service members who were killed in an airstrike in Kuwait on Sunday, a day after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran.

We’re joining Minnesotans tonight in mourning the loss of Sgt. First Class Nicole Amor.

We will not forget her service and sacrifice, and our hearts go out to her family and friends following this heartbreaking tragedy.

We look forward to hearing suggestions from Republicans to make college more affordable for Minnesotans. We aren't going to do this.

Minnesota Senate Republicans who want to create a statue of Charlie Kirk don't even vote for bills to fund basic needs like wastewater treatment, filling potholes, or replacing lead pipes? Talk about priorities.

Trump and Republican cuts to healthcare will take away insurance from millions, close hospitals, and defund emergency care.

As Minnesotans are paying more at the gas pump, Minnesota Republicans are fawning over the Trump Administration.

Corporate profits are at record highs. Working families? Not so much.

We’ve kept our state’s budget stable by investing in people. But now, federal chaos is pushing costs onto Minnesota families and counties.

We’ll keep standing up for Minnesotans, not the ultra-rich.

Happy Women’s History Month! Let’s celebrate all the incredible women Senators in the Senate DFL Caucus who fight for progress, equality, and a better future for all Minnesotans 💙

Happy Black History Month! Every February, we celebrate and honor the history, achievements, and legacy of Black Americans. Senator Oumou Verbeten is a proud Fulani and Senegalese woman, and she is one of the first Black women to serve in the Minnesota Senate. #BlackHistoryMonth

Our bill requiring presidential candidates affirm their candidacy meets the requirements of the US Constitution was heard this week. Every Republican Senator voted no. #nothirdterms

Minnesota is stable because we planned well. But while corporate profits soar, families are getting squeezed.

We’ll keep working to defend Minnesotans from chaos in Washington.

Senate Sixty ⏱️ @senronlatz.bsky.social and Sen. Mohamed give us an update from the Senate during Gun Violence Prevention Week.

Today, the families and friends of Annunciation School students gathered at the Capitol to sing songs of hope and call for action to prevent gun violence.

Maj. Leader Erin Murphy: “I don’t want to live in a place where authorities think their responsibilities include shooting people, but don’t include helping the wounded or dying, even and especially if they’re the ones who caused it.”

The federal government is trying to decimate our state and Republicans are clapping for it.

They’re cutting everything and giving us peanuts. Republicans should stop clapping for peanuts!

Trump Tariffs Loss Should Help Minnesota "With tariffs already costing the average household more than $1,000 over the past year, I am hopeful that this ruling will provide some relief for our economy as well as a check on this President's power. Unfortunately Trump is already doubling down and threatening further tariffs, and more uncertainty as Minnesotans unwind the mess he has already caused." MAJORITY LEADER ERIN MURPHY

Trump’s loss at the Supreme Court on tariffs is good for Minnesotans, who have lost an extra $1000 this past year thanks to this unconstitutional stunt. But, he’s already threatening more.

The effects of the Trump Administration are devastating. They are destroying Minnesota's infrastructure and giving us peanuts. And Minnesota Republicans are clapping for it.

The Committee also heard a bill by @senronlatz.bsky.social that requires the Minnesota BCA to investigate cases involving the killing of Minnesota residents by federal agents operating in the state.

The Senate DFL is committed to holding ICE accountable. Renee Good & Alex Pretti deserve justice.

Today the MN Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee heard 5 bills addressing accountability for the conduct of ICE and federal law enforcement in Minnesota and protecting and restoring the rights of Minnesotans harmed by ICE’s unlawful actions.

Here in Minnesota, we care about our neighbors.

Current Topic: one of the multiple bills that would ensure community members can access basic services for government, health, and education without fear of immigration enforcement. Today’s bill, by @senronlatz.bsky.social, would protect people at courthouses and attending immigration hearings.

ICYMI: Sen. Lindsey Port's bill would ensure that federal and state law enforcement offices may not wear masks while performing official duties.

Now, Majority Leader Erin Murphy’s bill. It creates a civil right of action if an individual who shoots somebody or witnesses somebody being shot fails to render aid as is required under current state law.

The bill also requires that, in order to enter into a federal and state partnership, the federal government must agree in writing that they will abide by the United States and Minnesota Constitutions and agree to the civil right of action established in the bill.

NOW: Sen. Omar Fateh and Sen. Bobby Joe Champion discuss their bill to establish a right for Minnesotans to sue for $ in state court for constitutional and civil rights violations.
