Political violence is at an all-time high – and instead of working to unite the American people, our President is waging war on anyone who opposes him. This is not how a democracy works. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hope this helps!

When it comes to health decisions during pregnancy – we should be listening to doctors, scientists and women. These are the last people on earth who should be telling women to “just power through” pregnancy. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-adm...

Democrats are ready to pass a bipartisan government funding bill that lowers costs and makes health care accessible for hardworking Americans. But the President and his Republican allies won’t even come to the table.

This Admin’s attacks on free speech and freedom of the press are not only frightening – they're a threat to our democracy. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/18/j...

Happy Rosh Hashanah to all Minnesotans who celebrate. May this season of renewal bring you and your family peace, happiness and good health.

Paraeducators make learning accessible for kids with special needs. It’s time we give them the recognition, support and pay they deserve. That’s why I’m introducing a bill with Rep. McBath and Sen. Markey to help schools recruit, train and retain special ed teachers and paraprofessionals.

The Veterans History Project collects the stories of U.S. military Veterans so future generations may better understand what they saw, did and felt during their service.

It was an honor to welcome Farm Aid to Minnesota for the first time. There’s nothing like coming together over great music for a great cause — supporting the farmers who feed the world. And as House Ag Committee leader, I got to introduce the legendary, Wynonna Judd!

Trump's reckless tariffs are hitting working Minnesotan families hard. Instead of working nonstop to help them – he's spending his time golfing. That’s all you need to know. www.startribune.com/de-minimis-e...

You deserve to know your elected officials are working to get things done. Here’s some of what I did in Washington this week.

My statement on Republicans' partisan government funding bill:

Donald Trump and Republicans refused to extend the ACA premium tax credits. As if kicking millions off Medicaid wasn’t enough – now premiums are set to increase by hundreds of dollars for American families. Unless you’re a billionaire, the Trump Admin couldn’t care less about your well-being

Access to early education can make a world of difference for kids. As President Trump threatens to gut Head Start programs entirely – I'm working with the Minnesota Head Start Association to protect these critical programs for Minnesota families.

Let’s talk about it: President Trump wants to roll back consumer protections for airline passengers. If this isn’t proof this Admin cares about corporations more than consumers... I don’t know what is.

This attack on our colleague @repilhan.bsky.social does nothing to turn down the temperature in our politics at a time when we desperately need it. It’s time to stop playing political games and get back to work for the American people. I’m voting against it.

Sec. McMahon is now making it even harder for working families to put their kids through school. They’re selling folks on the “American Dream” while withholding TRIO grants that make it possible for kids to seek higher education. Another heartless move by this billionaire-first Admin.

I’m a hell no on Republican’s partisan government funding bill.

I hear a lot about “family values” from my Republican colleagues – yet they’re cutting health care and raising costs for families – just to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

Had an important conversation with the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe about how we can best advocate for Tribal sovereignty and support critical funding for addiction treatment and prevention. Tribal communities make MN stronger and I'm proud to be working in DC to ensure they have resources they need.

Congressional Republicans are already kicking millions of Americans off their health care through their Medicaid cuts. Now they’re refusing to extend the premium tax credits that so many Minnesotans rely on for coverage.

House Republicans’ Big Ugly Budget cuts health care in every single Congressional district – including their own. Their attacks on Medicaid will harm their own constituents. They have turned their back on everyday Americans. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

The staff at @childrensminnesota.bsky.social received some of the victims from the shooting at Annunciation School. From the bottom of my heart – thank you to every one of the doctors, nurses, support staff and more who treated patients and acted with compassion in the face of unthinkable tragedy.

Come behind the scenes with me at MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

Rising health care costs, higher taxes and now steeper prices for virtually every single item at the grocery store. Republicans haven’t lowered costs. They’ve raised them.

Every year, I attend the Cory Slifko Memorial Softball Tournament in Farmington to pay tribute to Cory and the many other law enforcement officers we have lost to mental health challenges related to their service.

Rural clinics in MN are closing and it isn’t a coincidence. The Republicans’ “One Big Beautiful Bill” is showing its ugly face – and it's happening right here at home.

Republicans enacted the largest Medicaid cut in American history. I introduced a bill with Rep. Adam Gray to reverse those cuts and make the ACA premium tax credits permanent. I refuse to stand by idly while they make Americans sicker, poorer and worse off.

Today marks the 24th anniversary of the September 11th attacks that forever changed our country. Today, we remember the 3,000 lives lost – and honor the heroic first responders who answered the call that day America will never forget.

My statement on Republicans’ Passage of the National Defense Authorization Act:

This attack is a tragedy and the perpetrator should be held accountable to the highest extent of the law. My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk's loved ones and all those in the Utah Valley University community.

Trump’s promise to cancel taxes on Social Security sounds good – but in reality, he’s proposing a band-aid solution with an expiration date – that will leave too many Minnesota seniors behind. If he won’t deliver on his promise – Senator Gallego and I will.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. If you, or a loved one is struggling – contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 9-8-8. No one has to suffer alone.

I said what I said.

Happy Monday to everyone except the Chicago Bears!  Skol and happy Vikings season opener 💜💛

I joined Morning Joe today to announce my bill requiring social media companies to block their platforms on K-12 campuses during the school day.   It’s time to hold Big Tech accountable for the impacts they’re having on our students – in and out of the classroom.

It was great to meet with Tikki Brown, Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families. As the Trump Admin rips away food assistance from kids and families, I’m working together with state leaders to ensure Minnesotans are able to put food on the table.

The Republican budget will increase the uninsured population in Minnesota by roughly 170,000. That’s 170,000 folks left without access to routine checkups, affordable prescription drugs or peace of mind when family emergencies strike. Minnesota deserves better.

Lisa from Inver Grove Heights recently wrote in to share her father’s battle with Alzheimer’s and the importance of funding research to end this heartbreaking disease. It’s because of constituents like Lisa that I remain committed to fighting for critical funding to #endalz.

Thoughts and prayers are not enough – my colleagues across the aisle must be willing to enact common-sense gun reform. I’m urging Speaker Mike Johnson to take action and protect America’s children, teachers and families from preventable gun violence.

Is this the so-called “golden age” President Trump promised? My Republican colleagues continue to capitulate while this admin trashes our economy. They own this decline. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

I joined the MN delegation in introducing a bipartisan resolution honoring the victims of the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church last week. We stand united to condemn this violence and thank the first responders, medical staff and law enforcement who saved lives in the face of tragedy.

I’m calling on Secretary Kennedy to resign. I refuse to stand by while he endangers the health of Minnesotans.

Our immigration system is broken – and it has been for a long time. I’m working to implement fast, fair and legal pathways to citizenship for folks who are contributing to our workforce.

It's called putting lipstick on a pig. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Banning members of Congress from trading stocks has always been one of my top priorities as your Representative. That’s why I’m supporting the bipartisan stock trading ban introduced today that prevents Members of Congress from profiting off their positions once and for all.

President Trump called Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of women a “hoax.” My message to him: these survivors are real, and I will not let them be silenced. Today, I signed on to #ReleaseTheFiles.

As MN kids wrapped up their first day at school, I stood with the MN delegation in a moment of silence. We honored the two lives lost, the 21 injured and the immeasurable lives forever changed from last week’s shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. It’s time to pass common-sense gun laws.

Nope. Just no. You literally have majorities in the House and Senate - and the White House. The Republicans own any government shut down under their leadership. Don’t let them tell you otherwise. politico.com/live-updates...

There’s no way to sugarcoat it: because of Republican budget cuts, 140,000 Minnesotans will lose access to the health care they need. Access to health care is a right – not a privilege. Now is the time to step up and fight back.
