Having a fantastic Wednesday, and I don’t think I’m the only one.
Tina Smith
U.S. Senator for Minnesota
Wishing a day full of love, laughter and joyful remembrance on this Día de los Muertos.
May their memories live on forever.
So we’re supposed to believe there’s no money for health care, but there’s enough money for ICE to spend nearly $500 million buying an abandoned private prison in MN that was originally offered for sale at $75 million just last year?
U.S. Senators Tina Smith, Amy Klobuchar Push USDA to Reinstate Grants Helping Farmers Pay for Expensive Energy Upgrades

TRUMP YESTERDAY: “We brought inflation way down.”
BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS: Inflation in December 2024 was 2.9%. This September it was 3.7%.
Smith, Klobuchar, McCollum, Stauber, Craig, Finstad, and Morrison Urge FEMA to Distribute Delayed Hazard Mitigation Grants

In the small town of Bricelyn, MN (pop. 350), folks line up outside the local food pantry before it even opens.
This is what Trump’s SNAP cuts look like in our rural communities.
American farmers are expected to pay $2.4 billion MORE for diesel alone this year. In Minnesota, farmers are taking an extra $1,900 hit to the pocketbook just to fill their fuel tank in the yard.
Trump has some nerve to brag about making a “freaking fortune” from the sky-high oil prices.
The DOJ is once again refusing to cooperate with Minnesota officials in the investigation into what happened to Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Reeks of a cover-up.
Farmers deserved affordable fuel in the first place instead of a retroactive check. The USDA payout will help (if it materializes) but they're rightfully pissed they need a payout at all.
They’re tired of this dancing around the real solution: Ending the war.
I think people don't really always think about this, but AI companies are at risk of creating a massive financial bubble and have yet to prove they can make the profits to back it up.
ZACHARIA: “THIS IS A PRESIDENT AND ADMINISTRATION THAT IS LOOKING OUT FOR YOU”
I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.
On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, I want to say Pidamayaye and Miigwech to Tribal Nations and Native communities in Minnesota and beyond for your partnership and friendship over the years.
Data centers epitomize the power Big Tech has over communities. People point to these buildings as proof that Big Tech plays by a different set of rules, and get pissed that data centers are built over the objections of the people who live around them (often with taxpayer $$)
AI companies love to claim they’re SO special they need special treatment and can’t follow the same rules other dangerous technologies are bound by, and that’s just bullshit.
Incredibly grateful for our state and federal law enforcement partners who were able to foil this terrorist plot at the Mall of America before it could take place.
Reports are swirling around that tech companies are cashing in on corporate tax breaks from the Big Beautiful Bill to bankroll massive data centers. So I am requesting Congress’s official tax estimators provide a full report on just how much money Republicans shelled out to these corporations.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Tina Smith (D-MN), in her capacity as the top Democrat on the Senate Fiscal Responsibility and Economic Growth Subcommittee, is requesting an analysis to shed light on the extent to which OBBBA tax breaks went to data center development. Smith sent the request to the Joint Committee on...
They spend all this time and money defending Richard Nixon but can’t prosecute the men in the Epstein Files?
BREAKING WSJ: The Trump Justice Department is reviewing whether the special prosecutor's office that investigated Watergate committed misconduct. A revisionist historian went to DOJ HQ to present his case that Richard Nixon and his associates weren't treated fairly.
