Democrats skip Senate hearing on protecting women’s sports

"Democrats love to claim they are the party that supports women," said Sen. Chuck Grassley. "But today they didn't bother to bring a single witness to listen and engage with the concerns that athletes and scientists are raising about men playing in women’s sports."

Our rural letter carriers travel countless miles in every kind of weather to make sure our families, seniors, and small businesses get the mail services they need to stay connected and do business. We appreciate your hard work and dedication!

We are now down to just 40 days until Election Day. Voters have the opportunity right now to choose a governor who will end the fraud, reduce our oppressively high taxes and lead an education comeback for our kids. That's my promise to you in this race.

You can already cast your vote early.

All 87 counties across our state are providing a limited number of sites, where voters can fill out an absentee ballot and drop it off in-person. You can also mail in your absentee ballot.

Go to https://t.co/HRdwc9JkJG to learn more. And let's save our state.

@peggyflanagan My family's single biggest cost is our Federal Income Tax liability.
You don't care about that.
Poor families suffer most from the hidden tax of inflation, which is brought on by Federal borrowing.
You don't care about that.

My good friend and colleague Jason Fossum passed away last week. He was far, far too young at just 47 years old.

I’ve been really struggling with what to write about Jason and his investment in others, including me. I knew Jason for almost 25 years. Back in 2002, then Speaker Steve Sviggum asked me to run for the House. After considering it for a while, I told him I would – but that I needed somebody to help me. Steve sent me Jason Fossum. Jason and I figured out that campaign together, and ever since then he was a trusted advisor and friend that I could and did call on at all hours. He rose through the ranks and became the chief of staff of our Senate GOP caucus, but he was always the same guy I met all those years ago.

Jason was razor sharp in his thinking and had a gift for reading and managing personalities that very few possess. But despite his gifts, there was no ego about him whatsoever. He was the type to always downplay his own accomplishments and his influence. He was fast to accept blame when things didn’t go according to plan (usually to protect others), and even faster to give credit to others for the team’s successes, even when he deserved most of the credit himself. That’s just who he was.

But more than any of that, he was simply a joy to be around. He was calm. He was affable. He always had a smile on his face. He was always there to crack a joke when we needed it most. He was never in a bad mood — and even if he was, he never let it show.

He was a kind, wonderful, decent human being in a business that often was none of those things. Which is probably why you will be hard pressed to find anybody around the Capitol with a bad word to say about him. He could go to battle with you and when it was over, leave you thinking what a sweetheart he is.

To know Jason was to love Jason. The world is just a little bit darker without him. I will miss him deeply.

Another example of false reporting. St. Paul's HR director did a summary of the investigation that we've already proven was false.

The walls are closing in on Peggy Flanagan.

Make no mistake about it, she is responsible for the fraud that has consumed Minnesota.

Day 2 of our Southwest Minnesota tour included a diner in Pipestone, a coffee house in Worthington, a steakhouse in Windom, and a community room in Madison Lake.

Across our two days in Southwest, we heard how Minnesotans in these great cities feel left behind by politicians.

I have a message for you, Southwest Minnesota. I will not let your communities be ignored. I’ll take your concerns with me to Washington and make sure your voices are heard.

🚨 BREAKING: Tom Homan PERFECTLY spells out why every American needs to vote red — Democrats will take power, STARVE ICE DRY of funding, then import and legalize mass foreign voters

He's right. That's the ENTIRE gameplan.

"I'll tell you what they're going to do. They get back in control. They'll starve them for money. They'll starve them for money so they can't do the job. And who's going to remove the millions of people that the Biden administration illegally release in the country? That is the end game here."

"This is the same open borders crowd that think there's some future political benefit and having millions of illegal aliens in this country that they think will be future Democratic voters."

No sitting out the midterms!

We'll go from trying to maximize America First policy wins under Republicans to BARELY HOLDING ON TO OUR REPUBLIC AS WE KNOW IT if Democrats re-take power

No SAVE America Act, no border controls, no tax cuts, no America First PERIOD if Democrats take charge. That's a fact.

Do not leave it up to chance. VOTE RED ALL THE WAY 🇺🇸🇺🇸

NEW: Ron Schutz, the Republican nominee for Minnesota attorney general, has just unveiled a new 30-second digital ad for his campaign.

The ad contains no mention of fraud that has occurred in Minnesota and does not mention Shutz's opponent, DFL Attorney General Keith Ellison.

Instead, the ad is mostly biographical, mentioning Schutz's alma mater, military service, work history, and personal interests.

The full ad is below.

The Duluth @mngop office was packed so we took the party outside! Folks are fed up with the fraud and @LisaDemuthMN and @RyanDWilsonMN will root it out!

It’s National Farm Safety and Health Week! As a fourth-generation farmer, raising the fifth, I know firsthand the demand and hard work it takes to feed and fuel our nation. Wishing my fellow #MN01 farm families a safe and bountiful 2026 harvest.

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

With nearly 20% of Minnesota's population turning 65 or older, our state needs to make it easier for our seniors and their loved ones to find care close to home - not travel farther away. We need to help make it easier for families to care for their elders, not make it more expensive and more complicated.

This is what happens when government muscles its way into sectors that once operated with little interference.

Regulation surges. Costs skyrocket.

The average family pays well above the rate of inflation in healthcare, childcare, and housing. This table doesn’t even include education — which makes the picture even worse.

JUST IN: We've learned that charges have been dismissed against at least one defendant in this spring's Somali gang shootout outside Grand Casino Arena during Metro State's grad ceremony.

The case against Omar Abdulwahab Mohamed was being prosecuted by Mary Moriarty's office, which claims lack of evidence to meet burden of proof.
