Last week, we were able to force a vote and pass a bill to reverse President Trump's executive order stripping away collective bargaining rights from nearly 1 million federal workers.

Congratulations to Shelley Buck and Meg Luger-Nikolai on their victories in tonight's House District 47A and 64A DFL primaries! I'll be proudly supporting Shelley and Meg in these 4th District seats to bring DFLers back to full strength in the Minnesota House. #mnleg

I’ll be back in Washington tomorrow so I stopped by Ramsey County Elections over the weekend to cast my vote in the special primary for House District 64A. House District 47A will have a special primary tomorrow as well. #mnleg Check if you live in 47A or 64A: www.gis.lcc.mn.gov/iMaps/distri...

It was my pleasure to welcome DFLers to the 4th District at today's SCC meeting in New Brighton! My thanks go to those at today's meeting putting in the work to ensure we defeat the Republicans enabling this cruel, corrupt, and chaotic administration in 2026. 📸: Quentin Wathum-Ocama

As ICE and federal immigration authorities are targeting our communities, I want all Minnesotans to know their rights and be able to inform others so we can uphold due process and the rule of law.

I'm so saddened to learn of Andrena Guines' passing over the weekend. Andrena was a friend and valuable resource to so many in our party and a dedicated Vice Chair of the 4th District DFL. My deepest condolences to Andrena's friends and family during this difficult time.

Team Betty wrapped up tabling at the House District 64A DFL Convention earlier this evening after a great day of talking with delegates about caucuses and opportunities to get involved in 2026!

Team Betty was set up at House District 47A DFL Convention last night to talk with with DFL delegates and get them signed up to caucus and volunteer!

The only "garbage" is Donald Trump's racist, pathetic attacks on our fellow Minnesotans.

Happy Thanksgiving! 2025 has been a year filled with ups and downs, but I’ve been thankful to have supporters like you with me every step of the way. I hope you have a wonderful day with family, friends, and loved ones. Enjoy the food, stay safe, and stay warm!

“'If Burma is unsafe for American visitors, it is certainly unsafe for those who have fled the country and been given protected status,' U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum said in a statement. The Democrat is a longtime advocate for Minnesota’s Karen population and co-chair of the Burma caucus."

When Donald Trump is in trouble, he always falls back to what he knows: throwing attacks and creating chaos. I stand proudly with Minnesota's Somali community against Trump's ugly attacks meant to distract from his failures as President.

Right after voting NO on the Senate's terrible deal last week, I joined DFLers in Senate District 41 for their monthly meeting to discuss my vote and to thank them for the work they're doing to help deliver DFL victories up and down the ballot in 2026. Good to be with them!

The House and the Senate have both passed legislation to release the Epstein files. It's now up to President Trump to sign the bill as he said he would.

It's time. Today, I will vote to release the Epstein Files.

The Senate’s terrible deal does nothing to address the looming healthcare crisis coming from Republicans’ refusal to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits and the Medicaid and Medicare cuts they made in the Big Ugly Bill.

Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives have returned to Washington to vote on a bill to end the longest federal government shutdown in history. Democratic U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the vote.

Ahead of tonight's vote, I joined Minnesota Now with Nina Moini on @mprnews.org to discuss why I will be a strong NO on the terrible shutdown deal from the Senate.

The Senate’s government funding bill fails to address the Republican health care crisis and cuts SNAP by $18 billion. It’s a bad deal for the American people — I’ll be a strong NO when this bill comes up for a vote in the House of Representatives.

"As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, [Betty McCollum] opposed the cuts to the CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health and has been a strong supporter of tobacco control. We need more lawmakers to follow her lead and put kids’ health first."

Earlier this week, I held a forum at a Saint Paul food shelf on the impacts of the Trump administration's tampering with SNAP benefits. With today's court order, the administration needs to obey the law and ensure SNAP recipients don't go hungry.

Nancy Pelosi has dedicated her life to serving the American people with honor, dignity, integrity, and a tireless commitment to elevating equality and freedom.

This bill wouldn’t just send Border Patrol agents into the Boundary Waters—this would allow the Department of Homeland Security to bulldoze habitats, trails, streams, and campgrounds to construct Border Patrol installations in America’s most breathtaking and scenic wilderness.

Spent the morning in Woodbury with Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger and volunteers working to make sure we elect her to the Minnesota Senate and keep this seat blue! Amanda has been an outstanding representative and I know she’ll be an outstanding senator for Senate District 47. #mnleg

President Trump is choosing to let people go hungry during this Republican shutdown by refusing to tap into SNAP's emergency contingency funds.

I'm in Washington, D.C. ready to end this shutdown and prevent Americans' healthcare premiums from soaring. House Republicans aren't. They're welcome to join me anytime.

“We all do better when we ALL do better" 💚

Voters in Maplewood and Woodbury are heading to the polls this fall for a special election that will determine control of the Minnesota Senate. I'm proud to be supporting Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger to defend our DFL majority. Can you chip in $10, $20 or $30 to help fuel her campaign?

As the People's Lawyer, @keithellison.bsky.social is defending our rights, fighting for justice, protecting consumers, and taking a leading role against the Trump administration's cruel, illegal overreach in court. I'm proud to support him in his re-election campaign for Attorney General.

Donald Trump is retaliating against states that voted against him in the 2024 presidential election by canceling grants to expand the grid, boost clean energy, and improve America’s infrastructure. It’s illegal, it’s shortsighted, and it’s childish.

Defending the Boundary Waters, protecting the Mississippi River, and fighting for clean air and water are among my top priorities in Congress. I'm proud to have the endorsement of @lcv.org in my re-election campaign. #MN04

Kelly Moller will leave the Minnesota House next year with remarkable, hard-earned accomplishments in her work to combat mental health stigma, champion the wellbeing & dignity of people with disabilities, provide justice for sexual assault survivors, prevent gun violence, and more. #mnleg

The 82nd Airborne Division is an elite military force reserved for deployments in response to major crises around the world — It should not be deployed domestically against the American people. President Trump continues to wield power like a dictator.

The White Bear Lake Post Office is in a convenient location for the residents of the White Bear area and the many businesses in downtown White Bear Lake it's serving. I'm calling on the Postal Service to halt their plans to relocate it.

The Trump administration has decided to retaliate against Minnesota for not voting for Trump in 2024 by cancelling $600M+ in federal funding to keep energy bills down. Trump's fragile ego knows no bounds.

The government is in a shutdown, Minnesotans are beginning to receive notice of soaring healthcare premiums, and Speaker Johnson decided to extend the House's two week-long break. Republicans need to come to the negotiating table to end this shutdown.

These are the Trump Clones who are trying to take away your healthcare.

House Democrats are in Washington working to prevent a government shutdown and soaring healthcare costs, even if House Republicans aren't. Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If there's a shutdown, it’s because Republicans failed to do their job.

Producing magnets without rare-earth metals is environmentally friendly and strengthens our economic and national security. I was pleased to help break ground on Niron Mangetics' new full-scale manufacturing facility in Sartell, Minnesota.

It was my pleasure to join my fellow Fourth District DFLers in paying tribute to Bruce Vento’s legacy of investing in education, protecting the environment, and standing with organized labor at the 2025 Bruce Vento dinner.

Trump's AI and crypto czar, David Sacks, has illegally overstayed in his temporary job. I'm joining my Democratic colleagues to get answers from the White House as to when he'll be leaving as required by law.

House Republicans attempted to censure @ilhanmn.bsky.social for statements she never made and deepen political divisions in the wake of a tragedy. Censure is a serious decision and a bipartisan vote to defeat this censure resolution recognized that standard was not met.

Catalytic converter theft is costly, and prosecutors don’t have the tools they need to hold thieves accountable. Last week, I reintroduced the bipartisan PART Act to require identifying markers on catalytic converters to help prevent and reduce catalytic converter theft.

Saturday was busy for Team Betty! Started the day walking in the West Side Mexican Independence Day March and spending the rest of the day tabling and talking with voters at Selby Ave JazzFest. Glad to be a part of two of Saint Paul's biggest celebrations this past weekend!

Proud to co-sponsor @amyklobuchar.com's bill to expand benefits for firefighters who pass away or become permanently disabled as a result of service-related cancers. Our firefighters deserve our full support for putting their lives on the line for us!

Israel's unprovoked strike on Qatar undermines the prospects for peace and puts the release of Israeli hostages in jeopardy. The actions of the Netanyahu government are prolonging the war and destabilizing the Middle East.

I’m horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk today in Utah. We must come together as a nation to condemn this disgusting act and all acts of political violence. Americans must unite in demanding an end to the epidemic of gun violence in the United States.

Republicans’ Energy and Water bill would result in higher utility costs and clean-energy job losses across Minnesota. Read my op-Ed:

I stopped by with DFLers in Senate District 65 in August to discuss their concerns about the administration's dictatorial acts and the cruel effects to come from the Big Ugly Law. Trump promised to be a dictator on day one and it's the only promise he's keeping at day 225.

Congratulations to Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger on her victory in the Senate District 47 DFL Primary! I'm proud to be supporting Amanda to ensure south Maplewood and Woodbury have high-quality representation in the Minnesota Senate and to retain the DFL's majority.
