The admin owes Congress an explanation for why they gutted the State Department and a rapid solution for this visa ban so this administration’s antics don’t wreak even more havoc on the economy. (2/2)

Trump’s 75-country visa ban is costly, cruel, and misguided, and will impact local economies across the country… and particularly so as America prepares to host the World Cup. (1/2)

We can’t lose focus on the fact that Trump and Bondi are BREAKING THE LAW by refusing to release the full Epstein Files. We passed my bill to release the files. It was signed into law—by Trump himself! We must enforce the law.

On top of the defeat for Trump on Revolution Wind, a Trump appointee just ruled for Equinor against Trump.

For too long the U.S. has been dependent on China for critical minerals that power our economy and strengthen our security. That’s why I'm introducing a bipartisan bill to create a new Strategic Resilience Reserve to bolster U.S. critical minerals supply.

Our local law enforcement, mayors, and community leaders all agree: The best way to restore order and safety in Minnesota is for ICE to leave our streets. This Administration is escalating rather than de-escalating and it needs to stop.

A major Verizon outage yesterday affected 100,000+ Verizon users. At a time of high costs, consumers must always be automatically compensated for service disruptions, fully and completely—not just a courtesy or suggestion—and the FCC has a responsibility to require just that.

Members of Congress should be working for you — not using their position to line their own pockets. Let's get this done.

Just a reminder, for those of you who thought Republicans might’ve grown a spine: Yesterday, after posturing & hand wringing, they had the chance to put an end to Trump's illegal military operations in Venezuela. They voted no. Their cowardice only further emboldens Trump.

Instead of addressing affordability and soaring health care costs, Republicans spent yesterday trying to roll back the approval of a safe and effective drug that hundreds of thousands of Americans have relied on for decades.

Elon Musk was the largest donor to Trump’s campaign. Now, Trump’s Pentagon is embracing Musk’s chatbot that generates sexual deepfakes of people, including children. If this administration won’t do anything to protect kids, Congress must step up. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

Access to critical minerals is crucial to our national security, economy, and ability to compete with China. That’s why this week, I introduced bipartisan legislation to grow and strengthen the critical minerals workforce we need to get ahead.

First Trump dismantled USAID, now he’s cutting health aid globally. The more unhealthy the world is, the more at risk we all become.

We need to find a bipartisan solution to bring premiums back down, reopen the enrollment period, and make sure every American can afford to see a doctor.

More than a million Americans dropped their health insurance coverage when it became unaffordable because Washington Republicans refused to stop a massive premium increase – and even more could become uninsured over the next few months.

Donald Trump is manufacturing and fomenting a crisis to justify another authoritarian overreach into American cities. The Insurrection Act would be the latest in Trump's misuse of our military, and we cannot allow it. apnews.com/article/immi...

President Trump can find money to launch an attack in Venezuela. He can find money to bribe the people of Greenland. He can find money to give billionaires and corporations tax breaks. But he can't find any money to protect your access to health care.

Millions of Americans use dietary supplements to improve their health. However, FDA doesn’t have basic information about most of these products. I introduced the Dietary Supplement Listing Act to help increase transparency and ensure these products are safe.

In racing to finish the crypto industry’s wish list, Congress should remember the lesson of Silicon Valley Bank—tech money comes fast but disappears even faster, leaving taxpayers & investors on the hook for bailouts & losses.

1.4 MILLION Americans have already lost insurance after the ACA tax credits expired. How did Senate Republicans respond? They blocked a bipartisan House-passed bill to extend the tax credits for 3 years. Same crew that extended tax cuts for billionaires, by the way. Shameful.

Once again, Senate Republicans blocked legislation to extend ACA tax credits that keep health care coverage affordable. Republicans should listen to their constituents and join Democrats in voting to protect millions of Americans’ health care.

Trump is trying to install his puppets at the Fed. First by trying to fire Lisa Cook and rushing in his top econ adviser. Now by abusing the law to try to push Jerome Powell out for good. Next he'll nominate a new Chair—and Trump says “anybody that disagrees" with him is out.

I welcome the release of four Armenian civilians who were unlawfully detained by Azerbaijan—but it is not enough. At least 19 Armenians remain wrongfully held. The State Department must intensify pressure on Azerbaijan. I will continue pushing until every last Armenian detainee is free.

In the meantime, read more about my new inquiry with BNY here. When it comes to Epstein, what did they know and when did they know it?

I have a bill that would force Bessent and the Treasury to turn over its Epstein file for investigation. I’m continuing to build support, and I’m going to keep fighting for Congress to pass it. We’ve got to follow the money.
- RW
It’s not just Bondi and the Justice Department that’s stonewalling. Secretary Bessent and the Treasury Department is sitting on a massive file made up of Epstein bank records. My investigators have seen a portion of it. We need the whole thing to follow the money.
- RW
If the Trump administration wasn’t running a full-on pedophile protection program, they’d have these investigations up and running already. Instead, they’re hiding the vast majority of the Epstein files and letting Epstein’s enablers and co-conspirators off the hook.
- RW
Every bank and bank employee that enabled Epstein’s trafficking by failing to blow the whistle on his suspicious transactions should be under federal investigation.
- RW
With all the banks Epstein used, it’s the same pattern again and again. They could have blown the whistle, but they didn’t. His trafficking continued. The number of victims grew right up until the end.
- RW
But like we’ve seen with other banks, it appears BNY turned a blind eye to what Epstein was doing. They were legally required to flag these suspicious transactions in real time, but they waited more than a decade to do so, until Epstein was already behind bars.
- RW
These transactions had some of the key hallmarks of money laundering, including a series of 20 transactions spread over 9 months in which Epstein moved exactly $1 million out of BNY into his accounts at another bank, JPMorgan.

- RW
Epstein used a lot of banks to move money around. My investigators found that Epstein moved $378 million in and out of accounts at BNY over the course of 270 suspicious transactions.

This resolution had bipartisan support last week. Then the President did what he always does — make threats and bully. Republicans ran scared. And now the bill is dead. Shameful. That is what happened here. All so this President can go to war whenever he feels like it.
