Purfeerst Farms is a fifth-generation, family-owned farm in Faribault.

Tariffs are putting Minnesota farms at risk, with soybeans piling up as our trading partners look elsewhere.

They don’t want a bailout from the guy who caused the crisis. They want strong markets.

Fourteen days ago, Minnesota was shaken by the Annunciation school shooting. Families are still sitting at a hospital bedside, and communities are still carrying fresh grief. I’m also still processing the loss of Speaker Melissa Hortman from earlier this summer. Her assassination from gun violence left a hole in my heart and our state.

Today, we’ve learned that Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University. My heart goes out to his family as they begin to carry this loss. I couldn’t even process that news before I saw headlines of a shooting at Evergreen High School in Colorado, where students are now fighting for their lives.

Offering my condolences has become too familiar. It feels hollow. These tragedies keep stacking one on top of another. We have a gun problem. And until we face it, families will keep being shattered, and leaders, children, and community members will keep being lost.

— Minnesota State Auditor Julie Blaha

Minnesota moves to maintain access to vaccines after federal guidance last week ordered limitations on who has access to the COVID-19 booster shot.

Thank you Governor Tim Walz!

Vaccines save lives—and here in Minnesota, we’re making sure they stay accessible. While the federal government tries to restrict vaccine access, Governor Walz just signed an executive order to protect your ability to get safe, effective vaccines. From flu shots to COVID-19, Minnesotans can still count on their local pharmacists and providers. Science, not politics, will guide our state’s commitment to keeping families healthy.
