ICYMI last night a court blocked Elon Musk’s hacker bros from accessing your personal info at the Treasury Dept. 18 AGs and I brought that lawsuit. We’re not stopping until your personal data is safe, the hackers are out of our government, and Musk obeys American law.

For several months, the amazing work by the incredible folks with Art from the Inside on display in my Office has elevated my soul every day. It’s time for the collection to move on, but this portrait of Harriet Tubman by Jaik Elliott will remain as a reminder of what this Office is all about.

A week ago, I sued Trump over his unconstitutional executive order attacking gender-affirming care. A court just issued an order blocking that executive order in Minnesota for the next two weeks. On 2/28, we'll be back in court to ask for an indefinite halt to this cruel bullying of our children.

BREAKING: Sen. Boldon, Rep. Reyer, and I just announced a bill that will erase an estimated $500 million in medical debt for Minnesotans. It's called the Minnesota Medical Debt Reset Act. All it takes is a $5 million investment. Here's how it works 🧵 #mnleg

Trump's creation of DOGE and appointment of Elon Musk to lead it is unconstitutional. It is unacceptable that Musk is using this unconstitutional appointment to try to cut the federal government to the bone. Today, I filed a lawsuit to shut this illegal power grab down.

Checks and balances are essential to our system of government. It is deeply disturbing that Donald Trump and JD Vance think virtually any checks on their power are illegitimate. youtube.com/shorts/OHNHH...

Trump is obsessed with trans folks. He has issued executive order after executive order going after them. That's just wrong. The idea of liberty and justice for all means accepting people for who they are and standing up for their civil rights. That's exactly what I'm doing youtu.be/oa_awyp8SY0?...

When Donald Trump goes after the CFPB, he's really going after people like Sharon Tolbert-Glover. When Sharon got scammed, the CFPB stepped in and helped. It's no surprise Trump is siding with scam artists, but it's still wrong and we can't allow it. youtube.com/shorts/CxbqH...

The richest man in the world is trying to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which goes after payday lenders, banks, and debt collectors when they cheat folks. The CFPB has returned billions to working-class Americans. Trump and Musk know this, they just don't care.

BREAKING: A federal judge just blocked Elon Musk's DOGE from accessing your private data. DOGE must also destroy any copies of the data they made. This is a good day for Minnesotans, but the work of protecting our democracy is ongoing. Stay vigilant. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/n...

Today, I filed a lawsuit seeking to end Elon Musk’s access to the Treasury Department’s central payment system. I will not allow Trump & Musk to use government efficiency as a smokescreen to slash funding to anything and everything that doesn’t align with their political agenda.

Donald Trump’s executive order targeting gender-affirming care is illegal and deeply hurtful, so I'm suing to end it. I will not stand by and let Trump weaponize the federal government against young people trying to be themselves and against doctors providing the best care they can.

I am deeply concerned that our society is failing young people by not taking strong action to protect them from manipulation, exploitation, and bullying online - facilitated by social media and AI. I just released a report on exactly that. Read it here: www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Commu...

Yes, Donald Trump is keeping my Office busy, but not too busy to keep fighting both his reckless agenda, and fighting to help Minnesotans afford their lives and live with dignity, safety, and respect. A look back at January:

I urge Minnesotans who work for the federal government to be extremely cautious when it comes to Trump's buyout offer. The benefits being offered are not guaranteed. I recommend federal employees listen to the guidance of their unions on this matter. www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Commu...

THREAD: President Trump’s order threatening schools that support their LGBTQ+ students is another appalling attack on the rights of our LGBTQ+ community. Every child deserves a school that sees them as whole, vibrant human beings. It’s downright un-American to offer anything less.

While the Trump Administration keeps sowing confusion and chaos about federal funding, my fellow AGs and I are still pursuing our lawsuit against their unconstitutional funding freeze that hurts every American. We were in court today and expect a ruling on Friday. We're not letting up.

Donald Trump's order blocking trillions in funding to states across the country is unconstitutional and a threat to the well-being of so many Americans. I'm suing to halt this illegal order and stand up for the health and safety of Minnesotans everywhere. www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Commu...

Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, I urge folks to reflect on the climate of hate and dehumanization that can lead to something so monstrous. Let us rededicate ourselves to caring for one another and standing up to hate.

If you are born in the U.S., you are a U.S. citizen. Period. The 14th Amendment clearly says so. The Supreme Court has affirmed it for more than 125 years. That's why I'm suing Pres. Trump to block his unconstitutional executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship.

I'm suing Deere end their illegal repair monopoly and help MN farmers afford their lives. Deere makes it nearly impossible for farmers or independent shops to fully repair Deere equipment, forcing farmers to rely on slower, more distant, and more costly Deere dealers.

One of these is a highlighter and one is a vape pen. Can you tell the difference? Minnesota law prohibits selling e-cigarettes that imitate things like school supplies, so today I'm stepping up to protect young Minnesotans by suing the company that produces these vape pens.
