I’m glad the Supreme Court affirmed that ballots mailed by election day will still be counted. Millions of Americans rely on mail-in ballots as a safe and secure way to make their voices heard. I’ll continue to work hard to keep our elections fair and free from interference.

Supreme Court decides Congress has no power to put restrictions on positions Congress creates (once again reversing precedent). Building an imperial presidency and stripping power from the people’s representatives is a hell of a way to celebrate the 250th. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

We want the military to be the best fighting force it can be, and it can't do that when its morale is being tested and people are being fired or passed up for promotions – especially women and people of color. I break down the impacts and what I'm hearing from service members.

President Trump’s politically motivated criminal investigation of Lisa Cook, without cause, is all about his abuse of power and intimidation tactics. Due to his failed economic policies, the President continues to attack the integrity and independence of the Federal Reserve.

American troops have been put in harm's way because of Trump’s war with Iran. What’s worse is that the Pentagon is downplaying the serious injuries that our servicemembers have suffered. Unacceptable is an understatement. www.cbsnews.com/news/wounded...

The Supreme Court just overturned well-established precedent to greenlight Donald Trump’s threats to independent federal agencies. Now, this President can fire whomever he perceives as his enemy at these agencies without so much as citing cause.

A ballot postmarked by Election Day is a lawful vote and it must be counted. Today’s Supreme Court decision is a win for democracy and the millions of Americans who vote by mail, including seniors, rural Americans, military members and their families, and working people across our country.

Preparing our workforce starts long before someone walks through the door of a college or apprenticeship. That’s why as Governor, I’ll use proven evidence-based approaches to drive real results for our K-12 students.

This ruling is good news for democracy which means Trump will double down on his efforts to rig the November midterms by trying to pass the SAVE Act

The Supreme Court just upheld this bedrock American principle: if you cast your ballot on time, your vote will count. Participation in democracy should never be limited – not by your race, where you live, or how you vote.

This is important. The Supreme Court has ruled that states CAN count mail ballots that are sent by Election Day but arrive late. Small but significant victory in our battle against this administration’s all out war against your right to vote.

Trump campaigned on draining the swamp—but he’s creating his own swamp. I’m demanding answers for the algae-infested peeling mess in the Reflecting Pool.

Every person deserves a living wage. As the son of immigrants, I know the meaning behind the American Dream – but it’s only possible if people are able to meet their basic needs. That's why I co-sponsored the Living Wage for All Act to ensure working families can thrive.

It was an honor to march in the NYC Pride Parade! I was the first Senator to march in this parade, and it’s amazing to see the progress we’ve made on LGBTQ+ equality since then. With the Trump admin in the White House, we must protect that progress from those who wish to take us back in time.

More evidence that our adversaries exploit crypto to move billions. The Clarity Act, as it's currently written, would make this problem worse. Congress should be strengthening illicit finance standards, not creating new loopholes.

Climate change has caused New Mexico's forests to become overcrowded with dead trees, brush, and other flammable debris that fuel catastrophic wildfires. Too often, the cost of hauling that material out is what stops the work from getting done.

When I’m Governor, we’ll ban cell phones and other mobile devices in all K–12 classrooms and work with school districts to set screen-time limits. We’ll bring proven curricula to Minnesota — phonics-based reading and quality math instruction. Because Minnesota's kids deserve nothing but the best.
