Venezuela’s government has a long record of widespread human rights abuses, including arbitrary detention and political repression, that have continued under Delcy Rodríguez.

Tackling Nevada’s housing crisis starts with building and maintaining more housing that people can afford. I’m glad to have pushed the Trump Admin to release more than $3.3 million in federal funding to grow the supply of housing for low-income households.

Our farmers work harder than anyone I know, and the last thing they need are these higher gas costs because of Trump’s war abroad.

I fought and won a major vote in the Senate this weekend to stop the hemp ban that would’ve devastated Minnesota’s farmers, brewers, and small businesses. Minnesota already has sensible safety rules in place, and now this moves to the House and must pass. www.startribune.com/klobuchar-se...

In America, one health care company can own: Your doctor Your pharmacy Your insurance AND the middleman between your pharmacy and insurance. That means more profits for giant companies and higher costs for you. That's not right — and I have a bill to stop it.

Today I voted no on the confirmation of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General. Instead of standing up for the rule of law or demonstrating any sense of independence, Blanche has repeatedly chosen to go along with President Trump’s weaponization of the Justice Department.

Trump has made BILLIONS off of the presidency. And if you’re one of his billionaire buddies, you’re profiting off of it too. This is raw, unabashed corruption unlike anything we’ve seen from an American president.

Todd Blanche says he's working with Trump's team to make Dobbs permanent in every single state. Not in Virginia. We protect women's reproductive freedom here—and anyone who thinks they'll ram this through has another thing coming.

This isn't getting enough attention. Donald Trump is selling early access to his Truth Social posts for $100,000 per month. What purpose does this serve except to enrich the President and his wealthy friends? It's patently unfair.

Great to be at Game Fair and spend time with the people who know firsthand why Minnesota's outdoors are worth protecting — including Ron Schara, whose storytelling has shaped how Minnesotans see and value our natural resources.

Trump said he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation. The numbers back him up. The average household in Massachusetts has had to spend $4,600+ more on goods and services in Trump's economy.

Like most Minnesotans, I grew up in a family that valued the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation are a big part of Minnesota's heritage — and they must also be our future. As Governor, I'll protect our land, water, and wildlife habitats.

Todd Blanche has proven himself to be unfit to be the next Attorney General. I voted against his confirmation because the Attorney General should be the country’s lawyer, putting the American people above all else – not the President’s personal attorney.

Translation: this bill is going to do away with harmful taxes on people that lose their homes in wildfires or any other natural disaster. It’s a big win, especially for Oregonians.

A couple of weeks ago, the Senate unanimously passed my resolution and sent a clear message to Trump: Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted sex trafficker of minors, should not be pardoned and must serve out her full sentence. She’s one of the LAST people on earth who should ever be granted a pardon.

Fraud against the state is fraud against Minnesota taxpayers. As Governor, I’ll stop the fraud before it starts, update our technology to track state contracts, and send the criminals who steal your money to jail.

Trump says this is the greatest economy we've ever had? Here's the reality: We are losing jobs. Economic growth is sagging. Healthcare is more expensive. Groceries are more expensive. Gas is more expensive.

We’ve always known Todd Blanche won’t stand up to the President. The real question has been whether or not Republicans who know better would say enough is enough. His confirmation is maddeningly unsurprising.

Good news: The Senate voted to reject an attempt to strip the hemp ban delay out of the funding bill. A federal hemp ban would wipe out thousands of Minnesota jobs. Our farmers and small businesses are already following strong safety rules — a one-size-fits-all federal ban ignores that.

As I said in his confirmation hearing, the fundamental problem with Todd Blanche isn’t that he’s inexperienced or unintelligent. It’s that he’s never been able to shed his role as criminal defense lawyer for Donald Trump. He cannot and will never do it.
