このコンテンツについて
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has had a week filled with political heat, shifting gears at the Capitol, and a couple of social media gems. One of the biggest headlines is the impending departure of his chief of staff, Chris Schmitter. Announced through Bring Me The News, Schmitter—described by Walz as the longest-serving chief of staff in state history—will step down at the end of October. It signals an upcoming shift in Walz’s inner circle and could affect both internal strategy and public administration.
National developments have pulled Walz onto the bigger stage. In the past 24 hours, he’s been vocal about the ongoing federal government shutdown. At a Thursday press conference, he condemned what he calls “dangerous misinformation” campaigns from Republicans and expressed personal concern over AI-driven fake news, specifically around health care and the VA. According to Daily Kos, Walz didn’t hold back, blaming the GOP for using the shutdown as a pretext to cut federal workers and attacking what he described as efforts to deceive the public. Walz also highlighted the real-world consequences of those cuts—pointing out that it’s not just high-level staff, but ordinary workers who keep agencies functioning, from cleaning hospital linens to keeping VA IT systems online.
On the state level, Walz sparred with the White House over threats to cut clean energy funding in so-called “unfriendly” states, as detailed by MPR News. This stand puts Walz in the national spotlight as a defender of Minnesota’s energy and climate initiatives—and shows his willingness to push back hard against federal pressure.
For Soybean Week in Minnesota, Walz declared September 29 to October 5 a time to recognize the essential role soybean farmers play in the state’s agricultural output. This continues Walz’s overt embrace of Minnesota’s farm economy and rural communities, positioning him as a governor attentive to both urban and rural needs—an enduring theme throughout his time in office, as detailed in the latest press releases from the governor’s office.
Social media also caught Walz making headlines. On Threads, he was quoted reacting to White House threats tied to local infrastructure issues with a mix of sarcasm and exasperation, quipping, “My god, we’ve got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the stairs.” The clip has circulated widely, cementing his reputation as both candid and unfiltered online.
Business dealings linked directly to Walz himself have not surfaced in the past several days. However, his government’s handling of funding and program threats continues to have a direct impact on Minnesota’s economy.
