The Strait of Hormuz continues to be closed and President Trump’s total incompetence continues to raise energy prices. President Trump’s unlawful war with Iran is a complete disaster for the American people.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my colleague Congressman David Scott. For more than 20 years, Rep. Scott served the people of Georgia with honor and integrity. My condolences are with his family, his staff, and the people of his community during this difficult time.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Get outside, enjoy the great outdoors, and do your part to protect our beautiful planet.

Forever alive in our minds and hearts. 💜

Congratulations to Saint Paul Mayor Her on her first State of the City address. Faced with unprecedented challenges posed by the invasion and occupation of our state during Operation Metro Surge, she's focused on recovering and coming back stronger.

So much for making America healthy again. President Trump’s EPA Science Advisory Board is loaded with insiders from industrial producers of PFAS & other chemicals they are supposed to regulate, proving yet again that Trump is putting corporate profits over the American people.

Congratulations to Jessie Diggins on her historic career! This weekend, in her first home state appearance since taking Bronze in the Winter Olympics, she was honored at Allianz Field in a celebration of her career.

Americans are grieving after eight children were killed and two others terribly wounded by a gunman in Louisiana. This is the 114th mass shooting of 2026. Our thoughts and prayers must be followed by Congress taking action to end gun violence.

At long last, renovation of the Hayden Heights Library on Saint Paul’s East Side begins. I’m proud to have secured $3.6 million in federal funding to support this project. The renovated library will be a space for East Siders to gather, learn, grow, and thrive!

Parks and public lands aren't luxuries. They're essential for our health, our communities, and our children. It was an honor to receive the Trailblazer Award from Trust for Public Land for my work in Congress to protect our parks and public lands.

Republican politicians sold out our waters for the profits of a Chilean billionaire. But the fight continues. My legislation, the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act, would permanently protect the pristine waters of the BWCA for future generations.

This bill is America Last. Copper ore will be mined from Minnesota, shipped to state-owned Chinese companies for smelting, and sold to the highest bidder on the global market. Republicans sold out the American people to benefit foreign corporate interests.

I will vote YES on a War Powers Resolution this afternoon. President Trump’s war in Iran is not only a strategic and diplomatic failure, it’s an illegal war of choice that Congress must put to an end.

100% of copper mines have polluted water downstream. This mine will be no different. And why? So Twin Metals' Chilean parent company can profit by shipping our copper ore to China to be smelted and sold on the global market. It’s up to Congress to permanently protect the Boundary Waters.

This morning, I’m leading House Democrats in questioning Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and Army Vice Chief of Staff General Christopher LaNeve as they testify on the Army’s budget for fiscal year 2027. Tune in at the link below.

Republican Senators will soon vote to allow a Chilean company to mine in the BWCA watershed. Who asked for this? The billionaire owner of mining conglomerate Antofagasta – who happens to be Ivanka Trump’s former landlord.

This Tax Day, remember: No Tax on Tips is temporary. No Tax on Overtime is temporary. The extra deduction for seniors is temporary. But the tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, and corporations are permanent.

The BWCA is a national treasure that must be protected for the enjoyment of all — including future generations. As early as today, the Senate could vote on a bill to reverse protections and allow a Chilean mining company to pursue a toxic mine in the watershed of the BWCA.

We don’t allow mining in Yellowstone. We don’t allow mining in Glacier. We don’t allow mining in Yosemite. We don’t allow mining in Zion. We don't allow mining in Acadia. We don't allow mining in Grand Teton. We shouldn’t allow mining in the Boundary Waters.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis. We honor their memory by our commitment to Never Forget — and we must put those words into action by fighting bigotry and hate in all its forms.

For the fourth time, the Boundary Waters has been included in American River’s list of our most endangered waterways. The BWCA is a national treasure and our most visited wilderness area. It's time to permanently protect it from foreign mining interests.

I'm wishing a joyous day of celebration as Sikh families in Minnesota and around the world celebrate Vaisakhi, the harvest festival of thanksgiving. Vaisakhi diyan lakh lakh vadhaiyan!

I am saddened to learn of the passing of Yusef Mgeni, a son of Rondo and champion for the Black Community in the Twin Cities. His lasting legacy will be remembered by all who knew him.

$19 billion! Nearly $150 per U.S. household. That’s how much more we’re paying at the pump since Trump’s War in Iran began 5 weeks ago. We can’t afford Trump’s War. This week I will join my Democratic colleagues as we seek a vote to cease hostilities in Iran immediately.

Sexual assault, domestic abuse, and harassment allegations must always be taken seriously. Victims who step forward to share these stories show great courage. The allegations against Rep. Swalwell, Rep. Gonzales, and Rep. Mills are deeply disturbing. All three must resign or be expelled.

Severe weather is expected today by the National Weather Service. Starting at 3 P.M., residents across the Twin Cities and beyond should be prepared for strong thunderstorms, very large hail, and strong winds. Make a plan to be safe, especially if you are traveling!

Congressman Engel was a champion for human rights, humanitarian development and diplomacy around the world, and a dear colleague. He will be missed. My condolences are with his loved ones during this difficult time.

It’s wonderful to see the return of International Festival of Minnesota in Saint Paul! It’s a clear example of how we embrace the humanity in each other and reject division and violence – just as we did during Operation Metro Surge. We are One Minnesota!

Welcome home to the crew of Artemis II 🚀 After their historic eight-day mission to the Moon and back, I’m glad the crew has splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean.

President Trump’s words and actions should make all Americans deeply concerned about his state of mind. The Cabinet and Congress must take notice. I support @raskin.house.gov call for the White House physician to conduct a comprehensive cognitive evaluation and release the results.

Reminder: Portions of I-94 Eastbound will close at 10 PM today through Monday at 5:00 AM between Hwy 280 and I-35E. For detours and more information on the project visit the link below.

The Trump administration needs to work to ensure that Israel abides by the ceasefire. Israel must stop its attacks on Lebanon immediately.

On the brink of fire season, President Trump is uprooting the Forest Service and kneecapping its workforce. Here in Minnesota, a world-renowned facility known for its research on forestry and climate change will soon be shut. This is a massive mistake.

Reminder: Tomorrow at 5:00 PM is the last chance to submit an entry for the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. Students’ artwork will be displayed in the Atrium Gallery at the Schmidt's Artist Lofts as a part of the 2026 Spring Saint Paul Art Crawl! 🖼️🌸

Small businesses are doing a great job of serving our community despite the challenges they've faced from tariffs and Operation Metro Surge. I had a fabulous morning yesterday visiting several of them on Selby Avenue. I can't wait to visit again soon!

Americans are paying for President Trump's illegal war of choice in Iran. We’ve lost 13 U.S. service members, fuel prices are skyrocketing, and our economy is weakened. Republicans must choose: Do they stand with Trump's costly and reckless war, or with Americans who overwhelmingly oppose it?

Today, I joined @mayorher.bsky.social to tour the Rivoli Drive project in Saint Paul as part of National Community Development Week. This exciting project will bring more affordable home to Rivoli Drive thanks to the work of Dayton’s Bluff Neighborhood Housing Services.
