Kristin Robbins, a Minnesota state legislator, posted several comments on her Twitter account in mid-July 2025 addressing political developments and community events.

On July 18, 2025, Robbins called for the resignation of a fellow lawmaker, writing "Time for Sen. Mitchell to resign."

Later that day, she criticized state leadership and the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party. In her post from July 18, 2025, Robbins stated: "It is outrageous that @GovTimWalz & the DFL enabled Sen. Mitchell to stay in office & be the deciding vote on the DFL’s far left agenda that raised taxes, increased school & business mandates, & created a $6 billion deficit. The culture of corruption must be stopped." In this tweet, Robbins alleges that Senator Mitchell played a pivotal role in passing legislation associated with higher taxes and increased mandates for schools and businesses.

On July 19, 2025, Robbins shifted focus to local community engagement by sharing her experience at an event: "So much fun at @MapleGroveDays Business Expo today! Food, music & inflatables go all afternoon! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to say 'Hi!'"

Senator Mitchell has faced calls for resignation amid controversy within Minnesota's legislative environment. Governor Tim Walz and the DFL have been subjects of criticism regarding fiscal policy decisions and their support of key votes in recent sessions. The state's budgetary process has resulted in debate over deficits and tax increases during this period.
