The estimated $200 billion we’ve spent on the war in Iran could have paid for everyone on Medicare to get free dental, vision, and hearing care for six years. It could have paid for a check to every American household for $1,500. It could do school lunches for all kids for 18 years.

Cheers to more happy hours and less red tape! Starting August 1 — as a result of a bipartisan bill passed in the MN legislature this year — Minnesota nursing homes and assisted living facilities can host happy hours that bring seniors, their friends, and family together.

Small businesses are essential to our shore communities. Today, I visited downtown Avalon to hear about how they are dealing with high costs and inflation. It’s a wonderful time to visit the Jersey shore and support the local businesses that make our communities so special!

The President is clearly focused on a handful of states that he says have problems in our elections, including Michigan.

While Donald Trump continues to drag out his war in Iran, the cost of everyday essentials is skyrocketing here at home. Nevadans can’t afford to keep footing the bill for Trump’s war, but he doesn’t care.

The fires in the Superior National Forest have now burned through 77,000 acres and crews are working to contain them. I’m grateful for the work that first responders, firefighters, and emergency crews are continuing to do to fight the fires and keep people safe in Northern Minnesota.

Some easy starters: inbox for ethics complaints; screeners to sort; lawyers for fact-finding. Nothing there is hard. Indeed 50 for 50 every state supreme court has figured out how to do it, so it’s quite obviously not that hard. www.ms.now/connect/watc...

Trump's nominee to be the U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia compared abortion and his gubernatorial campaign loss to the Holocaust and associated with a known antisemite and Holocaust denier. His record is disqualifying, and yesterday I asked him if he stands by it. Here's what he said:

Trump wants to destroy endangered species' habitats in WA and decimate their populations along with it. Endangered species of salmon and other PNW animals are the heartbeat of our native cultures and coastal economies. I will do everything I can to stop this dangerous rule.

The State Dept insists their #1 duty abroad is to protect Americans. Yet, when it comes to getting justice for citizens killed or detained in the West Bank, there is no accountability. I will keep pushing the Trump admin, as I did the Biden admin, to get justice for these Americans.

There were severe sanctions on Iran at the start of this war, but if President Trump wants to do additional sanctions, let’s do it in a separate bill. But this bill is moving and it will put more pressure on Putin.

This isn't getting enough attention. Donald Trump is quietly making millions from lawsuit settlements. Does anyone believe that he would be winning these massive settlements if not for the implicit threat of retribution from the government? It's corruption.

The SAVE Act is just voter suppression by another name. No lies concocted by the President and his allies will change our votes: I'm a no on Jim Crow 2.0.

Our Russia sanctions legislation narrowly targets the biggest purchasers of Russian oil and gas that are funding their war machine. If we can put more pressure on Putin, we can get him to the table and end this war.

Every kid deserves a role model, but fewer men are teaching, coaching, and volunteering in their communities than a generation ago. My legislation changes that — with real support to get more men mentoring the next generation. https://substack.com/@ofboysandmen/note/p-207216866
