Trump’s Iran war has been a disaster. @markzandi.bsky.social has the receipt breaking down how Trump’s reckless war in Iran has already cost each American household $1,000 this year… and the costs continue to mount.

Our thoughts are with the three firefighters who were killed yesterday while battling wildfires along the Colorado-Utah border, and with their loved ones. Wishing those who were injured a speedy recovery. (1/2) apnews.com/article/west...

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.

Our public lands are our birthright, and they're under attack. It's more important than ever to stand up for the places that belong to all of us. Great meeting with the climate experts and Olympians at Protect Our Winters to talk about continuing the work to do exactly that.

The Stonewall Uprising was a riot for equality, love and the freedom to be who you are. We won't let today's bigots erase this pivotal moment for progress and undo everything those brave LGBTQ+ Americans fought for.

Trump is REFUSING to sign a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs, build more housing, and stop private equity from buying up homes. Trump First, America Last.

As the state with the largest percentage of federal lands, we’re disproportionately affected by a unique challenge: Nevada counties miss out on property tax revenue that funds necessities like public education and law enforcement.

We should double Pell Grants & ensure this essential financial aid for hardworking students keeps up with real costs of college. I’ve got a bill with @hirono.senate.gov & @whitehouse.senate.gov to get it done.

Good night in Tuba City with Tribal Veterans from across the Navajo Nation. Native Americans have served in every war this country fought. The least we owe them is a VA that shows up. I served. I know what that promise means.

If you’re willing to work, you deserve a path to success. That means quality education, apprenticeships, workforce programs, and credentials that lead to good jobs. As Governor, I’ll make sure Minnesotans have the skills to build a good life here at home with 10,000 more apprenticeships and more.

Big problems call for big solutions. That's why we fought for and passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the largest investment in infrastructure in generations. Roads. Bridges. Water. Airports. All laying the foundation for a stronger Colorado.

Donald Trump is blatantly corrupt. He has abused the public trust and must be held to account.

Today marks four months since Donald Trump plunged us into his war with Iran. Servicemembers have lost their lives, civilians have been killed, and this war has cost the American people billions in tax dollars and higher gas prices.

Handing special education to RFK, Jr. is a terrible idea. He has no experience in education, and even worse, has spread dangerous conspiracy theories about people with disabilities. We cannot allow this administration to continue its cruel crusade to abolish the Education Department.

Just remember: when Trump said he "lifted" families off of SNAP—he really means he cut them out of it. Now over 800,000 kids—AT LEAST—aren’t getting the help they need.

Trump and his family have raked in MILLIONS from their crypto schemes, profiting off the presidency. I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act to make sure NO President can use their elected office to line their own pockets.

As a geologist, I’ll translate: the White House demolished a perfectly fine, historic walkway and replaced it with expensive granite. Americans want cheaper gas and groceries, and Trump keeps wasting your money on vanity projects.
