I’m honored to have the support of Minnesota’s Republican congressional delegation, @GOPMajorityWhip, @RepFischbach @BradFinstad, @RepPeteStauber as we head toward the general election. This is about more than one race. It’s about working together as a team across every level of government to bring common sense leadership back to Minnesota. When we are aligned from our local communities from St. Paul to Washington, we can deliver real results, accountability, and put people first. We are building a stronger, safer future together.

Happy 251st Birthday, US Army. Thank you to the men and women who serve and keep this branch of the our great military running with your professionalism and grit.
251 years of defending America's freedom, and we're just getting started. From the first musket shots in 1775 to the high-tech, multi-domain force of today, our Soldiers have always been, and always will be, ready to answer the call.

One year ago, we lost Mark and Melissa Hortman, two people whose lives were defined by service, leadership, and a deep love for their family. That same morning, my friend Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were shot and critically wounded in an attack that forever changed their lives. I will never forget where I was when I got the call. I was preparing to lay my dad to rest later that morning when my police chief reached out to tell me what had happened. In an instant, my family's grief became intertwined with the grief of two other families. He told me the Hortmans had been murdered, the Hoffmans were fighting for their lives in the hospital, and a squad car had been stationed in front of my home. It is a moment I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Anniversaries like this are heavy. They remind us how fragile life can be, how strong the families left behind must be, and how resilient Minnesotans are in the face of tragedy. Today, we remember the lives of Mark and Melissa. We continue to pray for John and Yvette as they heal. And we remind ourselves that violence has no place in Minnesota—not in our neighborhoods, not in our politics, not anywhere. Please join me in keeping these families in your thoughts and prayers today.

On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as our nation’s flag. Nearly 250 years later, it remains a symbol of freedom, opportunity, sacrifice, and the American Dream. From the battlefields of history to the surface of the moon, Old Glory reminds us what unites us as Americans. Happy Flag Day. 🇺🇸

Great to see the U.S host and make a strong statement! 🇺🇸 I’ll be watching Team USA!
History was made Friday night as Team USA rolled past Paraguay 4-1 in its 2026 FIFA World Cup opener in Southern California. The victory was historic in more ways than one. It was the first time the U.S. had won a World Cup match by three goals since 1930 — when America also defeated Paraguay. The four-goal outburst also marked the first time the United States has scored at least four goals in a World Cup match. Folarin Balogun, 24, also made history, becoming the first American player since 1930 to score multiple goals in a World Cup game.

🎙️ Unplugged with Pratt One question. One answer. A chance to get to know Eric a little better. Today's question: What keeps you grounded? Well, behind every title is a regular person just like us. For Eric, staying grounded means spending time with his wife, his kids, and good friends. Those are the moments that matter most.

Watch this: We expect cities and counties to follow the law, rules and controls for early voting as Election Day. For Minnesotans to have confidence in the election process, they need to know elections are not controlled by one party over another, and they are administered by trained bipartisan election judges.

As a result of the inaction of our state’s so-called leaders, billions of hard-earned taxpayer dollars were diverted to criminals instead of helping Minnesotans in need. Today, I led my fellow Minnesota Congressional Republicans in sending a letter to Gov. Walz and AG Ellison urging them to resign after @GOPoversight’s recent report exposed that they were aware of the fraud running rampant throughout our state, ignored and dismissed employees and whistleblowers who warned them, and failed to act. They must be held accountable.

Voters in Minnesota have a great conservative candidate in @EricPrattMN & a clear choice in #MN02. No confusion. Minnesotans know who’s ready to go to bat for them.
Honored to receive the CD2 endorsement. I’m grateful for the support and ready to get to work. Together, we’re taking this momentum to Washington to fight for affordability, stop fraud, and restore accountability. Let’s move forward and win this together! #StrongerSaferTogether

JUST IN: Rep. Brad Finstad leads the GOP delegation in calling on Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison to resign following this week's House Oversight Committee report on Minnesota fraud. "We believe the confidence necessary to effectively govern has been irreparably damaged. We therefore urge you to resign from office immediately," they write.

Fraudsters may be holding the smoking gun, but Walz and Ellison handed it to them, locked and loaded. Thankfully, @POTUS and Republicans are putting an end to fraud in this country.

Thank you Mr. Vice President @JDVance
🚨 MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT: Vice President JD Vance has REFERRED the Tim Walz complicity in fraud to the US Department of Justice for CRIMINAL investigation Walz and Keith Ellison knew about fraud for 6 YEARS, per a new report BRING ON THE PROSECUTIONS! 🔥 VANCE: "We actually referred this particular case to the Department of Justice for a full criminal investigation." "We're not going to do what the Biden administration did. And make judgments of the law before all the facts are in. But here's what's particularly troubling about this to me is, you had people within Governor Walz's office who were saying, you know what, this looks like fraud!" "It looks like these illegal immigrants are doing something that's very shady. And then you had people who shut them down, who shut these whistleblowers down and said, you know, you're a racist or you're a xenophobe for asking questions about where taxpayer money is going. What that means to me, is that clearly people weren't taking fraud seriously." "Whether it rises to the level of a criminal violation, we're going to investigate it. And of course, if it does rise to that level, we're going to prosecute it. We have to."

At last Thursday’s @HouseAgGOP hearing, I discussed the conversations I’m having with #MN01 farmers about the farm economy with @SecRollins. I appreciated her insights on @USDA’s work to expand global markets after four years of an ag trade deficit under the Biden administration. ⬇️

Tim Walz and MN Democrats turned a blind eye to fraud that cost taxpayers BILLIONS (!!) of federal dollars — money meant to support seniors and children in need. There’s one central question: Why do Democrats keep allowing these FRAUDSTERS to operate and steal from taxpayers?
BREAKING: We just released a BOMBSHELL report exposing how Governor Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison fueled Minnesota's fraud explosion. $9 billion in Medicaid lost. $300 million in federal child nutrition funds were placed at serious risk. Read the report and key takeaways 👇🏻
