You build a product that will harm people and put them out of work? Then your company has to face the consequences when that harm happens.

AI companies love to claim they’re SO special they need special treatment and can’t follow the same rules other dangerous technologies are bound by, and that’s just bullshit.

Incredibly grateful for our state and federal law enforcement partners who were able to foil this terrorist plot at the Mall of America before it could take place.

These companies were going to build most of these data centers regardless of the tax incentives, so we should question the fiscal rationale of these incentives. It also sounds ripe for corruption, considering these companies routinely donate millions to the President’s campaigns.

Reports are swirling around that tech companies are cashing in on corporate tax breaks from the Big Beautiful Bill to bankroll massive data centers. So I am requesting Congress’s official tax estimators provide a full report on just how much money Republicans shelled out to these corporations.

They spend all this time and money defending Richard Nixon but can’t prosecute the men in the Epstein Files?

They’ll probably ship our minerals to China, where Antofagasta has a sweetheart deal. Meanwhile, we likely lose some of our most precious public lands.

Even their own ridiculous AI bot understands why a copper-nickel mine doesn’t belong near the Boundary Waters

People on both sides of the aisle have good ideas and substantive, bipartisan bills to hold these companies accountable when they cause harm. President Trump is what stands in the way.

@smith.senate.govSep 29, 2026, 8:00 PM

You’re telling me the guy who said “LET DATA REIGN” just poured cold water on the only bipartisan AI safety talks that seem promising?

@smith.senate.govSep 25, 2026, 11:05 PM

Senator Klobuchar and I will work to see if there’s any support we can secure from the federal government.

New Richland endured nine inches of rain from just one storm, flooding the town and forcing residents to evacuate. The anxiety from residents is palpable. It’s going to take an all-hands-on-deck effort to recover, clean up the damage and get the community back on its feet.

Thank you to Brent and Jane for welcoming me to your farm, and to all the farmers who took the time to share what’s happening in Minnesota. I am grateful for this chance to listen and promise to bring your stories back with me to Washington.

Visiting with farmers in Lamberton today and their message was clear. Producers need stability and consistency so they can plan for the next season, not more chaotic trade wars and price hikes due to the war in Iran.

@smith.senate.govSep 24, 2026, 11:19 PM

We needed a comprehensive agreement with China to a mutual slowdown of AI development. Instead, we get nothing.

@smith.senate.govSep 24, 2026, 11:19 PM

Trusting the same DOJ that covered up the Epstein Files to protect us from frontier AI… What could possibly go wrong?

@smith.senate.govSep 24, 2026, 8:19 PM

The average age of a first-time homebuyer has never been higher (40 years old). This is only going to make things worse.

@smith.senate.govSep 24, 2026, 8:19 PM

Lots of ways to finally help young people afford their first home. 7% mortgage rates (and climbing) thanks to another endless war in the Middle East is not one of them.

The problem for farmers isn’t just that diesel prices are high. It’s that diesel prices are high RIGHT BEFORE harvest season.

@smith.senate.govSep 22, 2026, 6:53 PM

Farmers can’t withstand a President who could care less about the rising diesel prices.
