He also thinks Minnesota has only ten lakes.
Trump: "The whole voting system is corrupt in Minnesota. I won Minnesota three times, easily. I won almost every county but they didn't give it to me. It's a corrupt system."

Insults are not evidence. President Trump can’t seem to handle anyone calmly questioning his baseless accusations about elections.
Jun 7
Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying. Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating. Welker: Do you have evidence? Trump: All I have to do is look. Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.

On D-Day, June 6, 1944, Charles Durning was among the thousands of Americans who stormed the beaches of Normandy. Today, we honor his legacy by sharing the Purple Heart recipient’s powerful firsthand account from the 2004 National Memorial Day Concert. #MemDayPBS #DDay #CharlesDurning #WWII

Minnesota ranks #1 in America in quality of life! Wonderful, but not surprising. We are blessed. 👏💥🏅
A major new study published today by a panel of Democrats and Republicans ranks states by quality of life. The states at the top aren't the richest, and they don't have the highest tax rates -- although they do seem to do an unusually good job executing policy and sharing the wealth that they create. Often they have opposition parties strong enough to keep ruling parties nervous and effective. To see which state ranks No. 1 and how your state ranks (slight tease!), here's a gift link: nytimes.com/2026/06/06/opini…

I’m optimistic about democracy in Minnesota despite the real threats and challenges coming from Washington, DC. Minnesota has successfully pushed back against federal overreach before, and we’ll do it again.

On Memorial Day, we honor those Americans who gave what Abraham Lincoln called “the last full measure of devotion” for our country. We owe our survival and success as a nation to their sacrifice.

Minnesota is #1 !!! 🏅 We’re the best in America, according to new rankings from the respected & non-partisan “Election Performance Index” at MIT, measuring states’ elections based on factors like polling place wait times, voter turnout, and post-election audits.

I got to brag about Minnesota’s nation-leading voter participation at a congressional hearing today! ♥️🇺🇸
🚨@MNSteveSimon, Minnesota Secretary of State, speaks on high voter turnout in Minnesota: “I think it boils down to two main things — good laws and a good pro-voter culture in Minnesota. As for the laws, we’re all looking for the same thing, which is the perfect balance between access and security.”

My condolences to Rep. Emmer and to his entire family. I hope they are comforted by a lifetime of warm memories.
My mom, Patsy, decided today was her day to rise too. She passed peacefully this morning. I can see her right now smiling in the embrace of her love and my father, Tom, and my sister, Bridget. Our time together never was and never will be enough. Love your families today more than ever. On behalf of my brother Jack and sister-in-law Molly, our brother-in-law Tom and his wife Paula, and our families, Jacquie and I appreciate your prayers.

The President’s latest executive order on elections is an unconstitutional power grab that will end up like the rest: It will not stand. Only states and Congress may regulate federal elections, not a President waiving a magic wand in the Oval Office.

I was proud to speak at the No Kings rally in Duluth, where the theme was free and fair elections. Thousands of people stood up and pushed back against federal overreach. Democracy in Minnesota is in good hands.

It’s good to see the President choosing to take personal advantage of the freedom and security of voting by mail.
President Donald Trump has cast another mail ballot in Florida as he continues to publicly bash the voting method as a source of fraud and push Congress to curtail the practice. apnews.com/article/donald-tr…

A well-deserved honor. Everyday people in the Twin Cities stood up against federal overkill in ways that were brave, peaceful, and effective. 🏅

This is the most dangerous kind of “cancel culture” for any democracy. The Chair of the FCC is publicly suggesting he might revoke broadcast licenses for “legacy media” outlets whose news coverage he (or the President) doesn’t like. A real threat to free speech.
Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

Dangerous and disturbing. No public official should have to endure threats like this.
