In Minnesota, we take pride in our democracy. Whether you’re voting early in person, by mail, or visiting your polling place on Election Day, it’s important that you know your rights to vote safely. Remember: Voting starts TODAY and runs through Nov. 3! ag.state.mn.us/Election/Voti…
I repeatedly said Christian Castro would not escape justice in Minnesota. Today, he began facing justice here. Greg Abbott has gotten away with nothing — except turning Texas into a sanctuary state for violent criminals. mprnews.org/story/2026/09/17…
Good news out of D.C.: The Trump-backed Clarity Act failed in the Senate. Yesterday a coalition of 16 AGs and I came out against the bill - it would make it harder to stop crypto fraud. I’m going to keep fighting to protect Minnesotans from crypto scams. yahoo.com/news/politics/arti…
It’s so absurd that it’s hard to believe: a 63-year-old Michigan coal plant was set to shut down, with its owners, the community, and defenders of the environment all in agreement. But on the eve of the plant’s closure, the Trump administration ordered the owners to keep it open.
With the support of my office, AG Dana Nessel also took the administration to court. And wouldn’t you know it, their claims of an “energy emergency” that required the plant stay open didn’t stand up to scrutiny: pbs.org/newshour/politics/fe…
These are just more examples of Trump doing whatever he can to protect his fossil fuel buddies—at the expense of the environment, communities, and even private businesses. I hope he gets the message loud and clear: We won’t stand for it.
I've said all along that Christian Castro would face justice in Minnesota. And now that he’s finally turned himself in in Texas, he soon will.

The fatal shooting in the Loring Park neighborhood is horrifying. My deepest thoughts are with those killed and hurt, including the police officers injured. I pray for their quick recovery. I fully support responding law enforcement & my office will help in all the ways possible.
I'm announcing an agreement with Sanford and North Memorial over their merger, which involves them maintain key services in MN, making significant investments in facilities and people in MN, and investing in our rural healthcare.

ICE agent Christian Castro is charged with 4 counts of 2nd degree assault for allegedly shooting into a home with people inside during Metro Surge, hitting someone in the leg.
@GregAbbott_TX has thus far refused to extradite Castro to Minnesota, so I'm suing Abbott to make him.
My office works hard to enforce Minnesota's lending laws and help homeowners afford their lives. Our settlement with Unlock Partnership Solutions will see them stop offering predatory home loans and pay $1M to homeowners who were taken advantage of. ag.state.mn.us/Office/Commun…
BREAKING: The court just denied XAI's attempt to stop Minnesota's AI nudification ban from taking effect.
The law will take effect tomorrow as planned. This is great news.
I'm proud to be in court defending the dignity of Minnesotans.
I'm holding a community meeting in Faribault on the proposed acquisition of Allina Health by Sutter Health.

Using AI to generate nude images of people against their will is appalling.
There are plenty of worthy debates to have about AI. This is not one of them. AI nudification robs the target of their dignity and could cause them immense harm on many levels.
I'll see X in court.

Should just one company control all these media brands?
My answer is hell no, so I'm suing to stop that from happening.
The Warner Bros and Paramount merger has officially been put on hold
Paramount has agreed not to close the deal until 5 days after the upcoming antitrust trial or June 1, 2027 — whichever comes first
