Today, I filed a lawsuit to halt the sale of Loon vapes in Minnesota. State law bans e-cigarettes designed to appeal to kids. With flavors like Cotton Candy and Mountain Dude, Loon is in clear violation of that law. I will not let corporations like Loon prey on our children.

Minnesota Valley threatened to shut off the power for a Minnesotan who requires life-sustaining medical equipment. This was as cruel as it was unlawful. We went to court after hours, and we won. I will not allow any business to put their profit before Minnesotans’ survival.

Nobody is above the law, including ICE agents. The State of Minnesota must hold people accountable for violating the law and for harming Minnesotans. I support the filing of these charges, and I am working closely with @hennepinatty.bsky.social Moriarty to ensure we reach a just outcome here.

Once again, Trump tried to impose more illegal tariffs that drive up costs for farmers, small businesses, and folks across Minnesota. I sued him, and once again, the court struck his tariffs down. Trump should try following the law, instead of finding new ways to break it.
