The Blatnik Bridge is critical to our economy and a vital link for workers, families, and businesses. That is why I worked across the aisle and with two states and with two administrations to secure the needed funding and move this project forward as quickly as possible.

The SAVE America Act makes it harder for American citizens to vote. It hands private voter data over to DHS and adds costly hurdles just to register. We should be making it easier for Americans to have their voices heard and have their right to vote — not harder.

New York Times headline: “Striking Down Pentagon Press Limits, Judge Vindicates Independent Journalism” The Constitution is clear: journalism must be independent, not government-approved. This is a win for transparency, accountability, and the American people.

Heading back to Washington from the beautiful funeral for Master Sgt. Nicole Amor. The roads from White Bear Lake to Ft. Snelling (her final resting place) are lined with Minnesotans paying their respect to Nicole and her wonderful family and friends. 🙏 🇺🇸

It is an honor to attend the memorial service for Master Sergeant Nicole Amor in White Bear Lake today. She was a patriot who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. She was also a devoted mother, wife, and friend who was clearly a source of light and love in so many lives.

Game day at The Barn. Let’s go Gophers! 🏀

No one should be using confidential government information to profit from world events. I introduced legislation with Senator Merkley to ban federal officials from trading on prediction markets and crack down on corruption.

Right now, the Administration is more focused on making it harder for Americans to vote than on bringing down costs. Their priorities are completely backwards.

Excuse me? So the state where they don’t need to register gets exempted? Federal election bill not expected to affect North Dakota northdakotamonitor.com/2026/02/10/f...

Good news tonight: The Administration is releasing the funding for the Blatnik Bridge replacement. We made the case to two Administrations on why this funding is crucial, and now this important project can move forward without delay.

Honored to earn the support of End Citizens United. At a time when our democracy is facing unprecedented challenges, I will continue to fight to protect Minnesotans' freedom to vote and make sure we have fair and secure elections.

From Kellogg, which saw 25 inches of snow, to the Twin Cities and across our state, Minnesotans are stepping up to help seniors and others remove snow.

Americans already struggling with rising costs are now facing higher gasoline prices. Meanwhile, this Administration hasn’t made the case for this war or laid out a strategic path forward. This is not leadership.

Today is St. Patrick’s Day—and my mom’s birthday. She was named Rose after “My Wild Irish Rose.” Thinking of her today.

We don’t need any more backroom deals that benefit corporations. We need lower prices. That's why I'm introducing legislation to ensure that courts have the tools to review antitrust settlements and approve only those that are fair to consumers and small businesses. variety.com/2026/music/n...

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ Wishing everyone across Minnesota a great day—including those headed to the St. Paul parade. Stay warm, stay safe, and have a wonderful time celebrating this incredible Minnesota tradition.

After the health care tax credits expired, 1 in 3 Americans—about 82 million people—are skipping meals, delaying care, or borrowing money just to pay medical bills. That’s why we’ve been fighting to restore the health care tax credits, so people aren't forced to make impossible choices.

Melissa Hortman worked to create Minnesota’s Community Solar Garden Program—opening the door for more families to benefit from clean energy. The Minnesota House just passed a bill unanimously to name the program in her honor. A fitting way to honor her legacy.
