This is my last tweet from this account. It was an honor to serve the hardworking, resilient and caring people of Southern Minnesota in Congress. #MN01 has a bright future because of you all. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.

On behalf of #MN01, I am proud to release the Southern Minnesota Way of Life Report today. The report summarizes the constituent input my office and I heard over the last two years along our 21-county listening tour. https://t.co/Rv7ZlzjL3F

Thanks to all who participated in our #MN01 listening tour. The Southern Minnesota Way of Life Report and Small Town and Regional Vitality Investment Act would not have been possible without your invaluable insight and expertise. https://t.co/Rv7ZlzjL3F

Many of the Senators who spoke tonight in favor of the bill said that the only thing standing in the way of Blue Water Navy veterans receiving the benefits they earned was the U.S. Senate. They are right.

I am incredibly disappointed by the Republican Senator who blocked this bipartisan bill over supposed fiscal concerns. https://t.co/NspYiAT4Gl

[Fmr. Rep. Tim Walz @RepTimWalz]

It is especially troubling to see this bill blocked when there is so much work left to do on toxic exposures as a whole, to include those exposed to burn pits and radiologically exposed veterans.

Today we remember and pay tribute to the brave men and women who lost their lives 77 years ago at Pearl Harbor. We will never forget their selfless courage or the sacrifices they made to protect our democracy and freedom around the world.

Congrats to VA researchers Dr. McKee & Dr. Wyss-Coray on being named among TIME's most influential people in healthcare! Their work will help improve the lives of #veterans as well as the entire world's approach to treating brain injuries and memory loss. https://t.co/TUMzBZubGL

This is fundamentally unacceptable and is an affront to the freedoms our veterans put their lives on the line to defend. There is no room for racism in our VA, our government or our country. Period. https://t.co/bzKT6UyQN5

My congressional offices are closed today to honor the life and service of President George H.W. Bush. On this National Day of Mourning, the hearts and condolences of a grateful nation go out to the entire Bush family.

[Fmr. Rep. Tim Walz @RepTimWalz]

Our veterans deserve their #GIBill payments on time & in the amount they were promised. When VA fails to do this, then it’s on VA to make veterans whole again. A veteran should never be forced to suffer as a result of a VA failure, that’s why its on @SecWilkie to make this right.

[Fmr. Rep. Tim Walz @RepTimWalz]

On Friday, I joined my Democratic colleagues in sending a letter to @SecWilkie demanding clarity for the thousands of student veterans who’ve been underpaid their #GIBill benefits.

[Fmr. Rep. Tim Walz @RepTimWalz]

The lack of clarity coming from @SecWilkie & @DeptVetAffairs is absolutely unacceptable. One day they’re telling Congress they have no intention to retroactively repay these veterans, the next day they say they will. This obfuscation cannot go on. https://t.co/Ju5kHmWocI

[Fmr. Rep. Tim Walz @RepTimWalz]

I am deeply saddened to hear of President George H.W. Bush’s passing. I will always be thankful for his patriotism & lifelong dedication to public service. To the entire Bush family, know a grateful nation is grieving with you during this difficult time. https://t.co/DudXZFcoiw

[Fmr. Rep. Tim Walz @RepTimWalz]

This is an unacceptable betrayal of our veterans. President Trump and Secretary Wilkie must do everything in their power to make these veterans whole again. https://t.co/aeO78Hjn0R
