Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one, but his policies have done just the opposite. Parents shouldn’t have to break the bank to get their kids ready for the school year.

As we remember the victims of these storms and the communities that were impacted, I’d like to thank the brave New Jerseyans who stepped up to help from managing evacuations to cleaning up our coastline. It’s hurricane season once again. We must ensure we’re prepared when disaster strikes. 2/2

Did you know Trump wants to cut public health work at the CDC even MORE? His budget would make bigger cuts to programs that help stop global outbreaks at a time when we need them most.

More than 35 states have already banned cell phones in classrooms. It’s time Minnesota does the same.

Teachers like Chelsea are focused on helping every student succeed. As a literacy teacher in St. Cloud, she knows firsthand that keeping cell phones out of the classroom helps students focus on what matters: reading, writing, critical thinking, and learning.

Beaver Island, ~32 miles off Charlevoix, is full of fun characters. One of them was the aptly-named Shark Bite, a rescued feral cat who lounges right at the checkout counter of the hardware store.

When a handful of companies control the economy, a handful of CEOs dictate what you watch on TV, which doctor you’re allowed to see, what you eat, whether predators get online access to your kids, and what apartment you can rent. That's exactly why we need to block mega-mergers.

Trump can waste his time renaming Lake Ontario & other bodies of water all he wants, but here are the facts: Trump started this trade war with Canada, and his tariffs are raising prices for working families.

This is big! A federal court just upheld Oregon's law to make polluters pay for the damage they’ve done. Now we must pass my Polluters Pay Act & bring this model nation-wide. It's simple: When polluters trash our environment, they should be the ones cleaning it up.

Let's be clear: this isn't a win. This is proof Trump put our service members at risk to get Venezuelan oil for his billionaire buddies. Putting our soldiers’ lives on the line for private profit is a gross dereliction of his constitutional duty. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/b...

This is the cost of RFK's conspiracy theories & this admin's attacks on evidence-based science. 26 years ago, the US eliminated measles. Now, in Maryland & across America, we're seeing outbreaks & we risk losing elimination status. The measles vaccine is safe & effective. Period.

Following two years of record Amtrak ridership levels, it is clear that Americans want more trains and faster service. It's time to repair our aging infrastructure and meet this rising demand for rail travel. 2/2

Like millions of Americans, I rely on Amtrak to get where I need to go. One of the easiest ways to get from Jersey down to the Capitol is by train. When I sat down with Amtrak Board Director Rob Gleason, we discussed the importance of Amtrak's investment in New Jersey, and beyond. 1/2

When she was asked earlier this week, my opponent said these tariffs “definitely have a purpose.” That’s not leadership. Minnesotans deserve a Governor who will fight to bring these costs down.
- AK
Trump’s tariffs have already cost Minnesotans $4.8 billion — that’s equivalent to $2,000 per household. While our businesses and families are struggling with higher costs, the President is doubling down on his trade war with Canada – our state’s #1 trading partner.

Colorado Springs is already the epicenter of our national security and space efforts. This unnecessary proposal is yet another example of the president seeking to distract from his illegal war in Iran and the economic pain it has caused everyday Americans. (3/3)

To duplicate that effort at a time when our national deficit is soaring, is reckless and makes a dire situation even worse. (2/3)

President Trump’s proposed plan is duplicative, costly, and unserious. Establishing a dedicated service academy for space may sound good on paper, but our nation already has an exceptional institution that trains tomorrow’s Space Force leaders: it’s called the U.S. Air Force Academy. (1/3)

Back again this year for one of my favorite State Fair traditions: the 4-H Beef Show. Minnesota has more than 1,000 4-H clubs and 50,000 kids enrolled — and every one of them is part of a long agricultural tradition that’s led our state for generations.

As corporate profits skyrocket, working people are being stiffed like never before. Trump promised to tip the scales back towards working Americans. His admin's own data reveals the betrayal. We need to shake up this rigged system & ensure working people get their fair share.

Trump said ICE would go after criminals. But I've had to step in to get a business owner and military family members released. These are people who serve their communities and make our country stronger. Deporting them doesn't make us any safer.

It’s Fire Prevention Day at the State Fair! After this summer’s wildfires raged across Northern Minnesota, we’re especially grateful for the firefighters who protect our state and keep us safe.
- RW
A Trump official diverted firefighting resources to a fire on his private ranch. He got 9 aircraft for the 7-acre fire while the 90,000 acre Grasshopper fire in Oregon got about the same. These guys kneecapped wildfire prevention and now they’re diverting what few resources remain for personal gain.

71 years ago, 14-year-old Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, held an open-casket wake so the world could see what hatred had done to her son. We will never let their history be erased or forgotten.
