Olson: Even as shooting survivors share heartbreaking testimony, the GOP remains unmoved Annunciation families have trekked repeatedly to the Capitol to lobby for gun restrictions. Their words are falling on deaf ears, columnist Rochelle Olson writes.

Minnesotans are resolved to protect our children.

It’s time for Republican legislators to step up.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

Over a month has passed since we demanded information about the Minnesota children held in federal detention facilities. We have not received a response.

We will not stay silent while Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imprison children.

Minnesota 2026 budget forecast shows a $1.3 billion higher projection than in November The budget forecast for Minnesota is set to be released on Friday, with a surplus expected this year but a looming deficit in the years to come.

Good news today in Minnesota.

From school meals, to paid family leave, and a nation-leading child tax credit, we’ve proven we can invest to make Minnesota the best place to raise a family while keeping our stateβ€˜s finances strong.

Gov. Walz unveils new anti-fraud legislation package Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday unveiled a suite of anti-fraud proposals he would like to see the Legislature pass this session.

Today I rolled out a comprehensive anti-fraud package that strengthens oversight, improves detection, expands enforcement, and increases penalties to protect taxpayer dollars.

We’ve seen plenty of grandstanding on this issue. It’s time for action.

If you’re wondering why the Trump Administration is cutting off health care for people across our state - look no further than the President’s own words:

β€œretribution is coming”

26.02.2026 18:29 πŸ‘ 4253 πŸ” 1547 πŸ’¬ 290 πŸ“Œ 92

This is a campaign of retribution. Trump is weaponizing the entirety of the federal government to punish blue states like Minnesota.

These cuts will be devastating for veterans, families with young kids, folks with disabilities, and working people across our state.

This has nothing to do with fraud.

The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

The desks of Harper Moyski and Fletcher Merkel - two students killed in the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School - sit empty in the Capitol this week as a reminder of the horror of gun violence.

The majority of Minnesotans agree, it’s time to ban assault weapons.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half-staff in honor and remembrance of the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

He spent his life pushing America to live up to its highest ideals and his fight for civil rights, dignity, and fairness will inspire generations to come.
