At Medina Health Center in Trenton, I heard from parents about how community health centers help them access and afford vital care for their kids. Their stories are why I introduced MediKids. We must ensure all children have access to the healthcare they need to thrive.

The Trump administration let the health care tax credits expire, driving up premium costs for over 90,000 Minnesotans. If they won’t act, I will. As Governor, I’ll create a state tax credit through MNsure to help close that gap. www.inforum.com/news/minneso...

As I travel to all 87 counties every year, I hear the same concern time and time again: health care. Farmers worried about their premiums on the individual market. Small business owners trying to cover their employees. Parents doing the math on whether they can afford a doctor’s visit.

Working families are struggling to afford gas and groceries. Service members on the USS Abraham Lincoln are reporting significant hardship. We are almost 6 months into a war with no end in sight. Where is Trump? Party planning outside of the White House.

From illegally impounding money for Head Start to firing staff & closing offices overnight, Trump has made clear he is coming after America's kids. No way. Time for all of us to SPEAK UP and SAVE Head Start.

The latest mass deportation scheme: mega master hearings. As many as 185 noncitizens are being called to court on a single docket. It’s intentional overcrowding with little notice… and a blatant attempt to increase removal orders.

Great visit with Pitney Bowes, a vibrant & innovative 100-year-old company handling over 17 billion pieces of mail a year—helping people across the country.

Following this administration’s gutting of our public health system, we’ve seen skyrocketing cyclospora, salmonella, and measles cases. This administration is endangering your health while they make health insurance harder to afford than ever.

The Trump Administration is expanding its mass deportation campaign by gutting the immigration court and flooding the docket every day.

Renée Blacken of Bethlehem rowed more than 3,200 miles solo across the Atlantic to raise awareness and support for trauma recovery programs in northern New Hampshire. Her resilience and dedication to helping others is why I am proud to name her August’s Granite Stater of the Month.

I was glad to join the NH Fruit Growers Association at their Twilight Meeting yesterday evening. New Hampshire's farmers are indispensable to communities across our state. It has been an honor to represent them throughout my time in public office.

Heidi Overton is a far-right, anti-abortion extremist who has no business leading the FDA. The American people deserve someone who will put science and facts FIRST, not another Trump sycophant who will make it their mission to attack medication abortion. I will vote NO.

This is about subverting the election. That’s why I formed the Senate’s Election Protection Task Force: to ensure every American can vote freely, and every vote is counted accurately.

Trump is desperate to evade accountability—and afraid of Americans voting this fall. His DOJ is 0–23 in court trying to seize your voter data. Now it plans to deploy 1,000 election “monitors.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/doj-...

While Trump is getting richer, he handed out tax breaks to his billionaire buddies and sunk our country into even more debt. What happened to fiscal responsibility?

In 2024, FEMA approved more than $4 million for Los Angeles County to enhance fire protection infrastructure for up to 23,000 residents. Nearly two years later, the agency has yet to release this federal funding.

The Roadless Rule protects our irreplaceable roadless areas. Americans have been clear – repeatedly and across party lines – that we don’t want Trump screwing with our public lands. Someone needs to tell him to get out of his golf cart and touch some grass.

On World Humanitarian Day, we recognize and thank the people who risk their lives to deliver food, medicine, and aid to communities in crisis. The past two years have been the deadliest on record for humanitarian workers, making their service and sacrifice all the more remarkable.

Republicans should have learned some lessons about needing to stand up—now—not handwringing later about Trump officials who threaten public health.

Trump is throwing down the gauntlet to both sides in the Senate—nominating an FDA head who demeans vaccines, denounces reproductive rights, & degrades science. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/h...

Wildfires are 4 times more likely to start near roads than in roadless areas. More roads = more fire. Trump is selling out your public lands for development while over 2.6 million acres of Oregon burn in a record wildfire season.

NEW: I’m introducing a bill to ban cell phones in the classroom. Technology is an important part of our kids’ lives, and it’s not going away. But we can’t let it get in the way of their learning. Let's get it done.

In 1965, CEOs were paid 21 times as much as a typical worker. Today, that number has spiked to 281. The system is rigged and it's time we level the playing field.

Happy National Patient Advocacy Day! As a father and a caregiver, I know hard it can be for both patients and families to find care. Everyone should have access to care. The only thing people should have to worry about when they’re injured or sick is getting better.

As one constitutional scholar put it, “If a president is truly determined to make himself a dictator, the question at the end of the day is whether the military and other force-deploying agencies of the Federal government are willing to go along.”

The uniformed military shouldn't be deployed to interfere in our elections. Period. The nonpartisan tradition of military service and the constitutional guardrails that prevent our military from becoming a domestic police force for one political party are essential to maintaining our democracy.

Reaching a deal to delay the 50% tariffs on Canada is good, but know what's better? Not threatening our closest ally with these idiotic policies that drive up YOUR costs just because Trump wants to feel like a big man. Way past time to permanently BLOCK these tariffs.

Four years ago today, Amber Thurman died because politicians put politics over the health of Georgia mothers. Amber’s death was preventable. This anniversary is a painful reminder that abortion bans have fatal consequences. May her memory be a blessing.

Trump is trying to dismantle Head Start, which gives over 10,000 kids in Massachusetts a strong foundation for success in school. Gutting class size and safety requirements and banning non-English education would undermine Head Start. Every kid deserves a fair shot, no matter their zip code.

Trump doesn't want you to vote by mail, but he does it himself all the time. If it's okay for Trump, why isn't it okay for working Americans? It’s simple: Trump just wants to make it harder for you to vote.

ICE must be held to the same standard as our local law enforcement. Unfortunately, DHS has not shared any corrective actions that have been taken related to the killings of Mr. Pretti and Ms. Good. Instead, we have seen the agency double down on violent tactics from Maine to Texas.

Repealing the Roadless Rule is a generational mistake that will change the wild character of our national forests forever. Despite every attempt by the Trump administration, Americans have been clear: our public lands are not for sale, and our national forests should remain wild.

Trump’s illegal war of choice is hitting Illinois farmers where it hurts. Planting diesel costs have skyrocketed 79.2%. And the more expensive it is to grow our food, the more expensive our groceries will be next season. Farmers and families shouldn’t have to foot the bill for Trump’s failures.

This conduct by ICE is unconscionable. ICE should know they cannot enter private property without a judicial warrant. Instead of complying with the law, ICE agents chose to threaten violence against a law firm because of whom they represent. We intend to investigate this incident.
