NEW: Minnesota just ranked the third best state to have a baby. That’s no coincidence.

We’re expanding paid leave and child care, delivering a nation-leading child tax credit, and investing in public schools. We’re putting families first and it’s making a difference.

  1. You're creating an even higher level of dependency prior to the inevitable collapse of US credit, the US dollar, and the government's ability to fund its expenditures.

    And don't even care enough to tell me why I'm wrong (because you can't) or that I'm right (because you're a stuck up bitch).

  2. It's about leadership and knowing what your residents need and want. I had my children over 21 years ago and only had 6 weeks of paid leave. No enough time for the mother or child. Bravo Minnesota!

  3. Luv Gov Walz, a leader that truly cares for his constituents. Making Minnesota a better place for families.

  4. AND Minnesota did not criminalize pregnancy or interfere with family planning and they didn't make pregnancy even more dangerous than it naturally is by banning health care decisions for women.

  5. This is really great, but so is being more progressive with RTO. Parents wasting time in rush hour takes so much time away from families.

  7. You live in a Democratic trifecta if you live in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, or Washington. Call your governor and press them to redistrict Republicans out of office NOW!!!

  8. Third best for everyone but Democratic Legislators. Rest In Peace, Hortman family. He shot the dog deliberately and left it in agony to be euthanized by relatives.

    Police waited AN HOUR after watching Mr. Hortman with drone footage before entering. Those cowards were accessories to their murders

  10. This + the rights I have over my body + the rights doctors have to provide medical care to women is the only reason I’m still planning to have a family. Keep it up gangster.

  11. America is being devoured by fascism and genocidal pedophile oligarchs

    China is literally a better place to have kids than here. America has become a shameful disgrace thx to evil Republicans

    But if you do have kids here, raise them to hate nazis as much as americas greatest generation did

  13. Keep telling it like it is Governor Tim Walz!!! Happy to be a PA resident but Minnesota sounds fine too. I’d sure be happy to vote for you (again)!!!

  14. Thanks Gov. Walz! While the GOP is making pregnancy/childbirth a frightening proposition by restricting women’s access to life saving healthcare, MN is leading the way to make birthing/raising children safe and affordable for their residents. Another 💙win! 💪

  15. Tim, could you say something on here abt Kathy Hochul's presser? It was so inspiring. The Reps from Texas were so erudite and their passion was electric! I hope all Dem Politicians will contact them
    Btw they are each being charged $500 a day just for being out of state! youtu.be/o4McIO-J51w?...

  16. Women are forced to give birth in exceptionally dangerous circumstances in Gaza, and then they can’t breast feed or get formula because of the Israeli aid blockade, so their newborns are dying. You back this, and the U.S. taxpayer makes it possible.

  17. Wait, whaaa?! You mean banning healthcare ie abortion & instituting forced birth laws didnt get MN there?! 🤯 /s

  18. Now, fix music education in the state! For as awesome a state Minnesota is, you can do better with Music Education. I would love to discuss it more.

  25. Minnesota came in third, offering the second-lowest health insurance premiums and ranking highly for medical staff availability. With one of the lowest maternal mortality rates and a high number of paediatric professionals per capita. www.newsweek.com/map-shows-be...

  26. Thank you!!! Now how about getting in the fight and think of redistricting if Texas does and get rid of Tom Emmer and make Minnesota even greater

  27. And safe for women to have babies especially if it’s high risk since OBs are not threatened with a crime if they save women’s lives.

  28. Congratulations governor! At this rate, you will soon be number one!!

    Keep up the great work!

  29. Women in America don't be fooled into giving birth.

    U are just womb donors to them.

    The minute a child is born, it's an anchor on your life for life.

    It will keep you out of the job market.

    It will make you dependent on men, financially deficit for life.

    Minimise your quality of life.

  32. Is there any way you/we could organize a militia or army of national guardsmen/women to fight against Trump? I’m retired Army and Army National Guard and I am pissed off and ready to go!

  33. First reaction was dismay at all the “yes, but” responses to this post. Yay we did something good but BOO you haven’t done the thing I wanted yet. But I suppose this is what makes MN a great place to live. Wellstone said we all do better when we all do better — and Minnesotans always want better!

  34. Could you do something about your winters? Otherwise I'd be moving to Minnesota, like yesterday.

  35. The fight is on all our backs. But only a few at the top can be in the ring. We need Democrats to get their spines and fight back, fight hard. This is not a time to take a corner, it's time to throw punches until one person is left.

  36. Compare the standard of living and overall quality of life in Minnesota to, say, Oklahoma. You will be absolutely stunned at how well Minnesota is doing.
    Blue state versus red state. No coincidence.

  37. You need to begin forming the Court of the 50 States with other states that are willing to resist federal tyranny. The billionaires do not care about your authority and will usurp you at every turn. We need ALTERNATIVES NOW! #MAGA #Trump #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

  38. Thank you Governor Walz.

    Sure wish you were VP to help the whole country.

    You are a great example of a public servant working to make things better for all.

    Thank you for all your efforts

  39. You're forcing state workers unnecessarily back to the office, increasing congestion and the attendant life-shortening pollution, as well as greenhouse gasses, while lowering their salaries, increasing their expenses and reducing their work-life balance so businesses can make even more profit.

  41. If Queer people are disqualified from the definition of “family” used for access to Our Resources, as defined by legislators in policies, that’s a lot of people denied service & rights.
