In 2024, 564 Minnesotans lost their lives to gun violence. And last year, two little kids’ lives were taken in the Annunciation shooting months after Melissa & Mark Hortman were killed in their own home. We need action on common-sense gun legislation. I will always fight to keep Minnesotans safe.

AI-generated deepfakes are already being used to scam, exploit, impersonate, and profit off people without their consent. That’s why I reintroduced the NO FAKES Act to create clear protections so Americans can control how their voice and likeness are used in the age of AI.

Four years ago today, the Buffalo community was forever changed when a gunman murdered 10 Black Americans at a local grocery store. We honor their memories by continuing the fight against gun violence, hate, and extremism in all its forms.

Republicans sent Congress home for the week because not even the MAGA Majority can stomach a $1.776 billion taxpayer slush fund to pay off violent insurrectionists who assaulted police officers. At least for now …

Trump's budget calls for billions in cuts to lifesaving research, but a $1.5 trillion war budget. I asked Trump's NIH Director how he could justify a budget that puts defense contractors ahead of cancer research. He couldn't. I’m throwing Trump’s budget in the trash.

While you pay higher and higher prices at the gas pump and the grocery store, Donald Trump is planning to use $1.8 billion of YOUR tax money for a slush fund to pay his buddies. He's shown where his priorities lie time and time again – he'll do anything to enrich himself and NOTHING to help you.

Folks who attacked our Capitol and assaulted police officers shouldn’t be rewarded with YOUR taxpayer dollars for their loyalty to Donald Trump.

President Trump is amassing a $1.8 billion slush fund to funnel taxpayer dollars into his MAGA loyalists – including the January 6th rioters and CO’s top election denier Tina Peters. I am fighting tooth and nail to stop Trump’s cronies and election deniers from cashing in on taxpayer dollars.

Working families do not want their hard-earned tax dollars paying for a luxury ballroom or a slush fund for criminals who beat up cops, but President Trump is hellbent on squeezing every last penny out of them.

In three months alone, President Trump made thousands of stock trades worth hundreds of millions of dollars – often in companies he’d praise the very same day. This is brazen corruption.

The 13 servicemembers who gave their lives in Iran are American heroes with families and loved ones. These remarks are disgusting and the president should be ashamed of himself.

First, Trump tried to make taxpayers pay for his $1 billion White House ballroom. Now it's his $1.8 billion slush fund for his cronies. It's no wonder Republicans’ plans to hand ICE another $80 billion have been thrown into chaos.

Time and again, Trump has failed to deliver on his promise to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. The latest test – will his regulators allow a bank to charge interest rates of more than 100% to families across America already struggling with rising costs?

Instead of voting on Trump’s $1.8 BILLION billion dollar slush fund, Republicans packed their bags and headed home. Apparently protecting taxpayer dollars becomes a lot less important when it's the President's spending spree.

Thank you, Stephen Colbert, for years of laughter, and speaking truth to power and never backing down. The Late Show is ending under the shadow of FCC pressure and corporate fear. The FCC’s job is to protect the public interest, not serve Trump’s interest.

With health care costs surging and the President admitting "he doesn’t think about" your finances, families are right to be anxious. I’m working to ease this burden. By capping insulin at $35 a month, my INSULIN Act would lower costs for millions of families. www.kff.org/public-opini...

Corruption has real world consequences—like addicting millions of kids to nicotine with flavored vapes. Big Tobacco’s $5 million lunch with Trump caused his personal intervention for a truly insidious policy.

Government should work to make things more affordable for Americans – that’s why I’m fighting every week to lower housing, child care, and energy costs. Trump views this government as his personal piggy bank, shaking it down for ballrooms, slush funds, and insider trades.

Today, the American people won. After we exposed Trump's $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund & threatened to make Republicans vote on every part of it, they're running scared. They've pulled down votes & are going home. We know they'll be back at it, but so will we.
