Happy National Postal Worker Day! Rain, snow (which in Minnesota, is no joke) or blazing heat – Minnesota’s dedicated postal workers get the job done.   To all of Minnesota’s postal workers: thank you. ✉️ 📬

THIS JUST IN: President Trump personally profited AT LEAST $2.2 billion this year while in office. Instead of using the Presidency put money in your pockets, he’s lining his own. I have a bill to stop him.

Trump decimated our trade markets. Now he’s undermining USMCA – arguably the most important trade deal for MN farmers. This Admin needs to start putting our farmers first. America cannot, and should not, kneecap ourselves by walking away from USMCA. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Medicare was officially implemented 61 years ago today. For over six decades, this program has made it possible for seniors to get the care they need at a price they can afford. While Republicans attack these critical programs, I’ll continue fighting to protect them for generations to come.

When Minnesotans make a habit of leaving work early they get fired — not paid time off. Speaker Johnson could learn a thing or two from them.

Tonight, I signed a petition forcing a vote to shut down President Trump’s nearly $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund. No more billionaire bailouts.

Today, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that those born on American soil are American citizens. President Trump can try to rewrite the Constitution but the fact is: birthright citizenship is a founding principle of our nation. Today’s ruling is a win for all Americans.

Minnesotans don’t think the ability to buy a home is unimportant. It’s actually one of their number one concerns. It’s why I helped pass the most comprehensive housing package in 30 years. Trump should sign it.

Trump’s DOJ is suing Minnesota to get our state to turn over sensitive data so they can target veterans, kids and seniors who rely on food assistance programs. My response as the top House Democrat responsible for these programs: hell no. And see you again in court.

🏛️Today the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump: ✅ Must pay $5 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll ❌ Cannot throw out valid mail-in ballots that arrive after election day  ❌ Cannot fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook as political retribution

June is Immigrant Heritage Month, a time to recognize and honor the generations of immigrants who strengthen our communities. I’m proud to represent a district that reflects the diversity of our state. MN is stronger because of our immigrant communities, and I will continue to fight for them.

In Trump’s America, Minnesotans are literally being forced to choose between putting gas in the tank and feeding their families. We can’t accept this as the new normal. We’ve got to keep working toward the Minnesota we all deserve – where folks can afford not just to get by, but to get ahead.

Congratulations to our 2026 Congressional Art Competition winner, Ella from Northfield High School! It was great to welcome Ella to the Capitol, where we had the chance to see her acrylic “Self Portrait” painting displayed in its new home. Way to represent #MN02, Ella! 🎨

Today marks 11 years since the Supreme Court guaranteed marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges. That decision gave me the Constitutional right to marry my wife, Cheryl. Today those rights are under attack.

The Trump Admin is chomping at the bit to rip voting rights away from millions of Americans and rig our elections.   We’ve got to act now. I’m pushing to pass @ossoff.senate.gov and Rep. Summer Lee’s Right to Vote Act, which would protect Minnesotans’ access to the ballot box in November.

The President campaigned on lower costs. Instead, inflation is at its highest point in years and Minnesotans are struggling to get by.

This is horrific and wrong. Folks who come to this country legally to escape violence and persecution deserve the opportunity to stay here. I will continue to fight back against President Trump and his right-wing SCOTUS majority. www.cnn.com/2026/06/25/p...

Head Start sets our kids up for success and helps them grow into the best versions of themselves. I’m excited to announce that this month, the Scott-Carver-Dakota County CAP was awarded $1.86 million in federal funding for Head Start. This is a win for kids and families across #MN02.

This is extremely disappointing. And I have no doubt this is a direct result of the Trump Administration’s hateful rhetoric against the Somali community. This is not who we are as Minnesotans – folks of all backgrounds are welcome here. www.fox9.com/news/shakope...

President Trump was supposed to sign the largest bipartisan housing bill in 30 years into law today. He’s refusing to do so until his election-rigging bill passes.   This is Trump 101: Trump first, Americans last. He’s a disgrace to this nation.

4 years ago today, SCOTUS overturned 50 years of precedent, giving Republicans the power to carry out one of the biggest rollbacks of women’s rights ever. Women deserve to make their own healthcare choices, including the choice to have an abortion. We must continue fighting for the right to choose.

Now both the House and Senate have voted to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran. The President must withdraw U.S. forces involved in this conflict immediately, get our troops out of harm’s way and put an end to this chaos.

🏠🚨GOOD NEWS ALERT🚨🏠 The House just passed the largest housing bill in decades. I’ve supported this bill, which lowers costs for families and expands affordable housing, since day one. This is the kind of bipartisan legislation we need more of in our gov — policies that make a real difference.

THIS JUST IN: A @consumerreports.org investigation revealed that rideshare giants Uber and Lyft are using AI to scrape your data and charge different prices for the same ride. Minnesotans rely on rideshares to get to work, visit their loved ones and purchase groceries. I’m demanding answers.

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. Today, fuel and food prices are through the roof. We’re in the midst of a Trump-administration induced cost-of-living crisis.  Minnesotans deserve better.

75% of youth firearm suicides stem from an unlocked & loaded gun. I’ve got a bill to expand access to lockboxes & safes for parents of children at risk of overdose or suicide. On Asking Saves Kids Day, I’m joining Brady to spread awareness about the need for safe storage to keep our kids safe.

To all the dads, grandfathers and father figures in #MN02 and across our state — I’m wishing you a very Happy Father’s Day! 💙

For folks all over the world, the bald eagle is a symbol of the American Dream – of the promise of America and the opportunities that are only possible here.

In the midst of Operation Metro Surge, too many Minnesotans have been left unable to locate a loved one held in detention. Families deserve to know where their loved ones are and if they are safe.

Juneteenth is an opportunity to reflect on the darkest period of our history and recommit to protecting our shared values of freedom and justice for all. Today and every day, we celebrate the rich culture and contributions of the Black community in Minnesota and across our county.

Every year, more than a million people from across the globe, including countless Minnesotans from CD2, receive world-renowned care at Mayo Clinic.

So we’re back to square one with no plans for enforcement? The American people deserve transparency and an end date to this dangerous and costly war. www.cbsnews.com/news/how-tru...

During Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, we recognize the devastating impacts an Alzheimer’s diagnosis can have on patients and their loved ones.

We’re hard at work on Angie’s Acre and I’d say things are looking pretty good! 🌽

It’s 2026 and folks across this country are still fighting for access to the ballot box. That’s unacceptable. We can’t afford to sit idly by as this Admin continues its relentless attacks on our democracy. It’s time to make the right to vote just that: a constitutional right.

Today, the Trump Admin announced they will be moving critical special education programs from the Dept. of Ed to HHS — an agency headed up by RFK Jr. who has repeatedly made disparaging comments about students with special needs.

Every American deserves the opportunity to enjoy our nation’s public lands. That’s why I’ve always supported the Great American Outdoors Act, a bipartisan effort to protect outdoor spaces and public lands for generations of Minnesotans to come.

Today marks one year since the violent politically motivated attack that took the lives of Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark and threatened the lives of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette.

After opening its Eagan facility, Solventum has supported #MN02 not only through its quality dental care and innovative medical technology – but also by bringing more than 2,000 jobs to the region. It was great to see my friends at Solventum last week and thank them for all they do for our district!

This week, I spoke with the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce about how we can continue to advocate for Minnesota small businesses in a time of uncertainty. And I had the opportunity to wish the Chamber President, Doug Loon, a happy retirement!

President Trump is an existential threat to our democracy, and we can’t afford to stand by while his corrupt administration takes a sledgehammer to our rights and freedoms.

It’s the first day of the World Cup! Wishing everyone attending a safe and fun time. Let's go, Team USA and good luck! 🇺🇸 💙

Today’s vote targeting Gov. Walz and AG Ellison is nothing but a baseless attack on MN. Instead of working to actually repair damage done by fraud and prevent similar crimes in the future, Republicans are using their power to play into Trump’s political games. This isn’t reform. It’s retribution.

There’s no Minnesota without dairy, and no one embodies Minnesota’s dairy culture better than Land O' Lakes! Today, I met with Land O’Lakes in DC to discuss how we can continue to support Minnesota’s dairy farmers and retailers. Thanks for stopping by! 🥛🐄

President Trump — the same guy who has personally profited $4 billion since taking office — just said he “loves inflation.” He has no idea what Minnesotans are facing every day in the grocery store, at the gas pump and at the kitchen table — and it shows.

Today, our country woke up to the highest inflation rates since 2023 while President Trump signed a $70 billion handout to ICE into law. For Minnesotans, this is a slap in the face. To the Trump Admin, it’s just another Wednesday.

61 years ago this week, SCOTUS affirmed a woman’s right to contraception. Today, House Republicans are trying to take that right away. Politics have no place in your healthcare decisions. That’s why I’m leading the fight to protect Minnesotans’ reproductive rights and stop this government overreach.

Planned Parenthood empowers women to make their own decisions about their futures, families and health. We’re working together to ensure every woman – no matter her zip code, income level or political party – has access to affordable, safe and comprehensive health care.

Donald Trump doesn’t love Minnesota’s family farmers — he only loves himself.

Right now, AI companies are not required to flag users who are showing warning signs of committing acts of violence, like school shootings. Why? Because Big Tech doesn’t care about our kids’ safety. I’m fighting to change that.
