Good to see bipartisan legislation pass in the Minnesota House and Senate. After Colin Hortman shared his story, this bill requires disclosure of chemical irritants and helps ensure homeowners aren’t stuck with the clean-up cost by their insurance. www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/minneso...

Brit’s Pub is a true Minneapolis staple of British food and culture. It was great to have invited Brit’s general manager, Shane Higgins, to King Charles’ address to Congress.

The impact of the administration’s war with Iran will be long-lasting. Higher energy and fertilizer costs are rippling through our economy — hitting Minnesota farmers hard and raising prices for Americans, with no clear plan ahead. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This Court ruling weakens protections against discrimination & undermines fair representation. As Justice Kagan said, it marks the “majority’s now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” We must keep fighting so every American has a voice in our democracy.

King Charles, in his speech, highlighted our shared democratic roots and the bedrock principle that executive power must be subject to checks and balances.

In Faribault, I met with Sheriff Thomas and the County Board to see the new Rice County Public Safety Center. This state-of-the-art facility will strengthen public safety and support the important work of law enforcement. www.southernminn.com/faribault_da...

At Inver Hills Community College, I got to meet students gaining hands-on experience that will prepare them to step into good-paying jobs that are in high demand across Minnesota.

Invited a fitting guest for King Charles’s address to Congress: Shane Higgins, the dedicated general manager behind one of our state’s favorite British traditions — Brit’s Pub. Great to have him in Washington today, representing a bit of the UK from Minnesota. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

Costs are up. Tariffs are hurting our farmers and small businesses. And this war is driving up gas and fertilizer prices. We need to stop the chaos and focus on making things affordable for Americans.

First responders need the tools to act quickly in emergencies. This new Mobile Command Center in Eden Prairie will improve coordination and response times to strengthen public safety. That’s why I worked to secure federal funding for this vital project. eplocalnews.org/2026/04/10/e...

Great to see so many people this week out supporting Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid — an organization that provides legal services to Minnesotans in need. Thank you to keynote speaker Neal Katyal, whose commitment to the rule of law inspires lawyers across the country.

At the Inver Hills Community College to tour the new simulation lab with President Berndt. I worked to secure funding for this lab, which is now helping train the next generation of Minnesota health care workers and connecting them to jobs.

After a valiant battle with cancer, we lost my former staffer Asal Sayas. She had many friends and admirers, including me. While battling her own cancer, she worked on President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot to expand access to clinical trials. My heart is with her loved ones.

I introduced the bipartisan Hemp Safety Enforcement Act with Sen. Rand Paul to protect Minnesota’s hemp industry. A one-size-fits-all federal ban would hurt farmers, brewers, and small businesses. Our bill lets states regulate safely while protecting consumers and jobs.

Budgets are values, and Congressional Republicans want to give another blank check to ICE. That is money that could fund 200,000 local law enforcement officers for three years or extend the health care premium tax credits for two years.

Ten years ago, when we lost Prince, thousands of Minnesotans filled the streets singing “Purple Rain.” A hometown star who had a way of bringing us together—and still does.

I’ve heard loud and clear from brewers, farmers, & small businesses in Minnesota — a federal ban on hemp products would be devastating. Today, Senator Paul & I are announcing a new bipartisan bill that protects Minnesota’s small businesses & farmers producing safe hemp products.

Tragic news about the loss of Mark and Lisa’s daughter Maddy after a long illness. Over the years I got to know Maddy and her sisters and I cannot imagine how difficult this is for them and Mark and Lisa. They were all there for her every step of the way.

I got an update from Mayor Ressler and Blooming Prairie officials about the work to rebuild Hwy 218. Every time a truck passed, we could feel the road shake. I'm glad we got them federal funding, but they still need more support. This highway is a critical corridor for Southern Minnesota.

While Americans are worried about health care and rising costs, the president is focused on building a $400 million ballroom. That says everything about his priorities — and they’re not the American people.

A jury has found what fans and artists have known for years: Ticketmaster/Live Nation is an anticompetitive monopoly. That means higher fees and fewer choices. We need real solutions that will increase competition and lower prices.

Deepfakes are creating new ways to exploit—and these images can ruin lives. That’s why I worked to pass the bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act so victims can get images removed from social media platforms and law enforcement can hold perpetrators accountable.

The administration says we can’t invest in child care or health care — but wants $200 billion for a unilateral war in Iran. That same money could lower costs and expand care for Americans across the country.

January 6 was a violent assault on our democracy, and those responsible must be held accountable. Erasing these convictions undermines the rule of law and disrespects the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line defending the Capitol.

The administration is threatening a major escalation of the war it unilaterally started with Iran — and now wants $200 billion more. That money could and should be used to lower health care costs, build more housing, and make things more affordable for Americans.
