Governor Tim Walz
@governorwalz.mn.gov
Dad, husband, teacher, coach, veteran. Governor of Minnesota. Working to move our state forward as #OneMinnesota.
From wildfires to snowstorms, the Minnesota National Guard is always ready to protect our neighbors. Great to see progress on a new training facility in Arden Hills that will ensure our guardsmen are even better equipped to answer any call that comes their way.
“Last winter, Minnesotans banded together and rejected the harm caused by ill-informed, unplanned and costly federal immigration overreach. As DHS takes steps to reopen Appleton as a federal facility, our response should remain the same: Minnesota is not the place for this.”
Minnesota will stand as a firewall against any and all attacks on reproductive freedom. We were the first state to establish an ironclad right to abortion after the Dobbs decision and we will remain an island of freedom for those seeking to make their own healthcare decisions.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · yesterdayActing AG Todd Blanche plans to outlaw abortion nationwide: We're working to get solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state. We're putting policies in place so that states can't do things like mail abortion drugs. We will have victory, and it will be permanent.

Across northern Minnesota, neighbors have come together, supporting one another and uplifting those hit the hardest by wildfires. Together we’ll recover and rebuild.
As Measles cases hit a 35 year high, as a senseless war rages on with no exit plan, as gas climbs to record highs, and the Epstein files remain secret, the U.S. Senate is holding a hearing today to yell at Dr. Fauci and again push horse dewormer on the American public.
Trump and companies like Kalshi are more interested in lining their pockets than protecting public trust and keeping people safe. Regardless of their grift, I’m taking action to reinforce the strong ethical standards we have in Minnesota. www.fox9.com/news/walz-si...

Inspired to see the resilience of the community in Ely as wildfires continue up north. Minnesota is eternally grateful to the first responders, volunteers, and emergency management officials working around the clock to manage these fires and get our neighbors the help they need.
We’re seeing the devastating effects of climate change in our forests right now. That’s why Minnesota is building the sustainable innovations of the future. Our new sustainable aviation fuel hub is reducing our carbon footprint, supporting our farmers, and creating jobs.
An honor to kick off round two of the 3M Open with Folds of Honor. Get out there this weekend to support a good cause and enjoy some world class golf.
NEW: Minnesota just hit three straight months of job growth. And as a top state for business, we’re creating jobs that pay well, provide benefits, and offer unmatched worker protections. If you want to work, Minnesota is the place to be.
This isn’t about fraud - it’s about cutting your healthcare so that Trump can afford the tax cuts he gave to billionaires. They’re cutting more money in healthcare than they’ve prosecuted for fraud. The math doesn’t add up. www.cbsnews.com/news/medicai...

FOX 9@fox9mn.bsky.social · 3w agoGov. Tim Walz said officials are working to rescue two groups of YMCA campers from Minnesota who were stranded near the United States-Canadian border in a remote area where wildfires are heavily burning.
I convened the Executive Council today to ensure we are getting every available resource up north as wildfires continue to spread. State firefighters, first responders, and National Guard members are on the front lines now - and we will be there in the long road to recovery.
