Tina Smith

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

I just voted NO on RFK Jr. to lead HHS. None of his empty promises could undo the harm his past statements have already had on people’s health. He’s a flip-flopper, a conspiracy peddler, and a danger to our country.

He’s driven by self-interest, not by protecting Americans.

Was able to speak for a while this morning as @booker.senate.gov enters Hour 13 of holding the Senate floor.

With two glasses of water and sheer determination, he’s telling the world that America is fighting back against this President.

Go Cory!

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow.

She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

Thanks. This clarifies nothing.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety.

It's our job.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do.

Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

RFK Jr on the mass shooting in Minnesota: "We're launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs and some of the other psychiatric drugs that might be contributing to violence."

And that concludes the worst birthday evening of my life.

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

Kristi Noem should resign in disgrace.

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in.

Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.

Hello (again) Bluesky! I’m going to start posting here again, because that other app has become a disaster.

But first, I want to introduce myself. My name is Tina Smith, and I’m a proud United States Senator for Minnesota… ⬇️

Stock market’s crashing, retirement savings are disappearing… and he’s out golfing.

To whoever screamed “LOOK! IT’S SENATOR WHAT’S HER FACE!” at the State Fair, I hope you have an incredible day 😂

That’s Tammy Baldwin — not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, Fox News?

Stock market in complete limbo, retirement savings disappearing, farmers facing devastating uncertainty… and he went golfing.

If he ran a company the way he ran the country this weekend, he’d be fired.

The #1 topic for calls to my office today? Cory Booker’s floor speech.

So yeah… I’d say people are listening to him.

This is how the Postmaster General reacts when Members of Congress demand accountability.  He’s the reason your prescriptions, paychecks, and bills are late.  Embarrassing.

Maybe hating on dick bosses is the great unifier, the thing that brings all Americans together.

Elon getting ratioed on his own platform 👌

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits.

No, they don’t have to.

Just so we’re clear, he wants us to pay more for goods we get from Brazil because he wants to save a foreign political crony on trial for corruption.

Not seeing the “America First” mentality here…
