For eight years, we’ve sought to make Minnesota a healthier, greener state.

It’s working.

A big win for conservation in Minnesota. Happy hunting!

In Minnesota, you no longer have to choose between your paycheck or raising your child.

It’s making our workforce and our businesses stronger.

For nine years Minnesota has ranked as a national leader in evidence-based decision making.

That’s nine years of data driven investments in the things that matter most - like paid leave, school meals, and our nation-leading child tax credit.

An important step towards accountability and justice.

Extremely grateful to all of our incredible firefighters, public safety officials, and volunteers who have worked around the clock since July to contain these fires and protect this land that we cherish so deeply.

All dog owners know how hard this day is. Much love from the Walz family to the Obamas.

Yesterday, we lost a cherished member of our family.

We got Sunny at the start of our second term in the White House, and all of us – including our first dog, Bo – immediately fell in love. We also had trouble keeping up with her, for Sunny was a force of nature. Athletic and full of boundless energy, she leapt over the hedges on the South Lawn like they weren’t even there, chasing squirrels, birds and anything else that moved. And whereas the way to Bo’s heart usually involved a treat, Sunny was more interested in having us run around with her, roll on the floor with her, or have her belly rubbed for as long as we were willing.

She loved the girls, even if they were pestering her when she was napping. She loved our team, and would often follow them around, helping them on the job. She was fiercely protective of Bo, who she rightly sensed wasn’t always as alert and attentive as she was. She had her eccentricities: other than Bo, she preferred people to dogs; she was a loud and sloppy drinker; and despite being a Portuguese Water Dog, she hated getting wet.

But as far as our family was concerned, she was pretty much perfect, and for thirteen years, she would be by our side – always loyal, always sweet, always ready for adventure, still fiery and gorgeous till the very end of her days.

We will miss her terribly, and imagine she’s with her big brother now, making sure he’s okay.

You can’t tell the story of declining crime without telling the story of the investments that helped make it happen.

We set reducing violent crime as a measurable goal in our One Minnesota Plan, invested in communities across the state, and today we’re seeing the results.

[KSTP @KSTP]

Violent crime in Minnesota declined in every major category last year, according to new data released by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. https://t.co/wG3faTarTR

For the Carleton students who asked me for a song that can change your life:

Nightswimming by R.E.M. Thank you, Michael Stipe.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Thank you to the students and faculty of Carleton College for having me at the opening convocation today.

The future of Minnesota is bright.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Earlier this year, we got a bipartisan bill across the finish line to modernize our state’s IT systems.

With this new technology, we’re protecting taxpayer dollars and making government work better for Minnesotans.

What’s on your nightstand reading stack?

Enjoy it, Minnesota.

Cheat like hell is the Trump family motto.

[Reuters @Reuters]

President Trump led his Republican Party in a mock pledge during their political convention in Dallas, telling them to ‘cheat like hell’ and vote whether they're ‘registered or not’ in November's midterm elections https://t.co/JgD3J8BdV9

Wishing all Minnesotans who celebrate a happy, healthy, and peaceful Rosh Hashanah. Shana Tovah!

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

25 years ago, in the face of unimaginable loss, Americans came together with prevailing unity, courage, and resilience.

On this solemn anniversary, we honor the lives lost, salute our heroic first responders, and remember that our nation is strongest when we stand together.
